This woman from the “Junk and My Trunk” microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves may be one of the least known fully-modeled human characters in the Mario franchise. It is impossible to encounter her while playing through the game’s story normally, as she only appears in Level 3 of the microgame, which can only be seen by repeatedly replaying Young Cricket’s stage. Why an asset as complex as a fully modeled human was created for such an uncommon scenario is unclear.

During the Dribble & Spitz segment in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, a song called Tomorrow Hill plays. However, whenever the player fails a microgame, the song changes briefly to an alternate version, called Falling Off Tomorrow Hill, that ends every few lines with a “failure” sound and different, nonsensical lyrics. This is the full version of Falling Off Tomorrow Hill.
