Orbulon


Orbulon, a white alien with sunglasses and head shaped like a bowling pin, is cruising above earth one day when an asteroid slams into his piggy bank-shaped spacecraft. Desperately needing assistance he boards the craft of the Space Hares, a group of lagomorphic aliens who come to his rescue. On board, the player must play a series of IQ- based microgames. Instead of merely mashing buttons, he or she must input buttons in the correct sequence or use logic to determine which of two groups of stacked tortoises would weigh more. If successful, the Space Hare's cruelly release Orbulon's pig-shaped ship, The Oinker, which plummets down to earth and crashes into what would appear to be the continent of North America.

Players can control Orbulon in an unlockable microgame called Hurdle Race, in which he and Dr. Crygor attempt to jump hurdles.

Orbulon returns in WarioWare: Twisted!, again in the company of the Space Hares. Apparently since the last game, Orbulon has taken the creatures into his employ. A massage from one lulls him into a sleep, however, that nearly allows The Oinker to get sucked into a black hole. His game set then starts - "Time Warp," in which all the microgames require twice the time to complete that anyone else's do. Every conquered microgame results in the entry a password needed to steer the Oinker away from the abyss. Once successful, Orbulon ends up rocketing into an asteroid, which eats the ship, then spits it out. Orbulon crashes back in Diamond City, where he joins his friends for a dance.

Although Orbulon does not have his own game set in WarioWare: Touched!, he cameos in the cinema sequence of newcomer Ashley. Orbulon's Oinker is also responsible for delivering newly won goodies to the main menu screen.
