9-Volt is a child who develops games for WarioWare, Inc. and is known for his love of retro Nintendo video games.

Background

A student at Diamond City's elementary school. Everyday he rides his jet-powered skateboard to school and attends classes, although in general he doesn't put his full effort into classes and is generally considered by his teacher to be a naughty kid. When not at school, his obsession is playing video games. Although he plays all the new games (like Pyoro and 36-Volt Man), his favorite games are mostly of the old school variety from the days of the NES, Game & Watch, and classic Gameboy.

9-Volt was only too happy to become a programmer for WarioWare, given that Wario was one of his video game icons. His games tend to be rehashes of retro games reduced to bite sized morsels. In WarioWare Touched! he became good buddies of 18-Volt, who despite being an adult, was in the same elementary class as him. The two are known to spend many nights playing games until the wee hours of the morning, generally to the point of missing school.

In Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, he and 18-Volt are shown in yet another gaming frenzy that ends when 9-Volt is playing a classic Game & Watch game. 18-Volt mistakes it for a Nintendo DS and is promptly corrected. However 9-Volt was unwilling to let 18-Volt play the game and the scuffle inevitably caused the system to break. Enraged by this 9-Volt demands 18-Volt leave, but later on finds 18-Volt at the toystore trying to buy a replacement Game & Watch. The two patch things up and go back to playing games with eachother again.
