- "I am Dr. Crygor, the genius scholar. The others have said a "dangerous" scholar, but I pay no mind to their opinions. My laboratory is set up to further my experiments in reality games. Feel free to stop by and contribute to my research. It is quite fun. Did you know that I was the one who created Wario's car? What? You do not know? Do your research!"
- —Dr. Crygor, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! instruction booklet
Dr. Crygor is a 103-year-old scientist and inventor who is one of the main characters in the WarioWare series. He first appears in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. Since WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Dr. Crygor was given a granddaughter named Penny.

Physical description[]
Dr. Crygor is a fair-skinned human who used to wear a yellow suit, a mechanical hand and foot. In WarioWare Gold, Dr. Crygor wears a blue visor and metal components; it was not explicit about himself wearing them. In WarioWare: Touched!, when Dr. Crygor comes out of the Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton (TUNA), all the blue parts of his suit become red.
Personality traits[]
Dr. Crygor is a brainy inventor who tends to be cocky in some situations. Dr. Crygor relies on Mike, his karaoke robot, for his cleaning needs. Dr. Crygor likes to dance when he is excited.
Powers and abilities[]
Dr. Crygor does not use his powers, but he used abilities. Dr. Crygor has invented items, transportation and weapons for himself and his employees. In WarioWare Gold, Dr. Crygor skillfully runs while Doris was chasing after him.
Some of Dr. Crygor's known inventions include the Wario Bike, a karaoke robot named Mike, and the Super MakerMatic 21. Dr. Crygor has a jetpack, which he attempts to fly with it. In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, he failed to activate his jetpack. In WarioWare: Touched!, Dr. Crygor flew the jetpack towards outer-space where he met Alien Bunnies.
In WarioWare series[]
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$![]
Dr. Crygor is first seen in the opening cutscene, being hired by Wario to work for WarioWare, Inc.. Dr. Crygor was called to create microgames for his upcoming game. His microgame genre is Reality, which features microgames ripped from photo-realistic images.
Dr. Crygor's story starts with him dancing in his lab. When he is done, Dr. Crygor begins to sweat and goes for a drink. He has invented a new potion, and when he drinks the blue liquid from it, Dr. Crygor begins to suffer from gastrointestinal distress, doubles over in pain, and runs over to the toilet to relieve himself. Here, the player plays from Dr. Crygor's selection of microgames. Whenever the player clears a microgame, the toilet is flushed, and is followed by another microgame.
Dr. Crygor eventually finishes using the toilet after the player completes his microgame set. Dr. Crygor breathes a sigh of relief, only for the toilet to shoot out an upward jet of water and begin flooding his lab. Dr. Crygor tries to swim for it, but the liquid shoots him out of his lab, high into the sky. Dr. Crygor tries to activate his jetpack, although it is non-functional, and Dr. Crygor begins falling to the ground. He is saved by Don the Sparrow, who flies him to safety. Dr. Crygor meets up with the other characters at the Gelateria, where he can be seen swimming in midair around the building.
Outside of his story, Dr. Crygor also appears in the two-player minigame VS Hurdles, as the character controlled by the second player. It involves Dr. Crygor and Orbulon competing in a hurdles race.
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$![]
All of Dr. Crygor's Reality microgames return from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. Dr. Crygor himself is one of ten playable characters in multiplayer. He hosts the minigame Balloon Bang, in which one player plays a microgame while the other players inflate a balloon by pressing repeatedly until it pops, ending the game. In another minigame, Outta My Way, Dr. Crygor is one of the heavier characters (as with Wario, Jimmy T., Mona, and Dribble) and therefore covers more of the screen, but moves slowly. If Dr. Crygor loses a microgame in any of the minigames, he clutches his stomach.
Dr. Crygor is seen in a few of the movies. In one movie, Dr. Crygor is sleeping on his toilet in his lab, when a UFO suddenly crashes right in front of Dr. Crygor, launching him above his lab. Seconds later, Dr. Crygor falls back into his lab, where he is greeted by Orbulon, Dribble, and Spitz, who greet him with "Hello! Hello!". After the scene irises out to just his legs, Dr. Crygor resumes his sleeping. In another movie, Dribble, Spitz, and Orbulon escort Dr. Crygor to the Dribble Taxi and fly him out of his island. In the cast roll movie titled Shiner Diner, Dr. Crygor can be seen along with the other WarioWare, Inc. employees at Restaurant Sora Sora.
Dr. Crygor appears in the Options menu, where he uses a Nintendo GameCube Controller to enter various settings as the player scrolls through them.
WarioWare: Twisted![]
Dr. Crygor is first seen during the game's opening sequence. Here, Dr. Crygor is called upon by Wario to help repair his Game Boy Advance, which Wario broke by angrily throwing it across the room upon losing while playing on it. Dr. Crygor throws the Game Boy Advance into his washing machine-like invention, the Gravitator, which soon releases several smaller Game Boy Advance units. When Wario grabs one of the systems, he realizes that it lacks buttons. Dr. Crygor instructs Wario to tilt the system in order to play, as the Game Boy Advance had been converted into several tilt-sensitive devices. When Wario notices both Mona and 9-Volt enjoying the system, he realizes that he could potentially make a huge profit from the systems, so Dr. Crygor is the one responsible in the story for the tilt-and-turn gameplay.
Dr. Crygor was given his own stage again, Gravitator, which shares a name with his invention. In the opening cutscene for his story, Dr. Crygor is excited that he completed designing the Gravitator. As Dr. Crygor is dancing happily, the Gravitator begins to release some bubbles, which float around in Dr. Crygor's Lab, each trapping Dr. Crygor and some of his items. Following this is a short demo in which the player can tilt the system to affect the movement of the bubbles, a precursor to Dr. Crygor's microgames, which have a common theme of having to tilt the system to alter the effects of gravity. When the bubbles pop, Dr. Crygor declares himself a genius and throws all the items that floated around with him into the Gravitator. Dr. Crygor turns the dial of the Gravitator, powering it on, and the player begins to play through his set of microgames.
After the player completes Dr. Crygor's microgame set, the end cutscene of his story is shown. In it, the Gravitator ruptures and dispenses a giant mechanical suit. Dr. Crygor jumps into the suit and takes off into the sky. Dr. Crygor soars around in his suit until Shuriken the Falcon flies along and rams into it, disassembling Dr. Crygor's suit and revealing a four-wheeled duck. Dr. Crygor begins to fall, but a few seconds into his descent, Shuriken flies back to save Dr. Crygor before he hits the ground, much like how Sparrow saved him in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. After a safe landing, Dr. Crygor rides his duck vehicle over to Club Sugar, where he meets up with his friends.
WarioWare: Touched![]
Dr. Crygor hosts his own set of microgames again, Slightly Unscrewed. In his story, Dr. Crygor tests out another of his inventions, the Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton (TUNA), which takes old objects and makes them brand new. As a test, Dr. Crygor puts an apple core into the TUNA, which converts it into a new apple. When Dr. Crygor goes to fetch the apple, the door of the TUNA closes, trapping Dr. Crygor into the compartment. Using the Stylus, the player has to rotate the wheel of the TUNA in a circular motion until it opens, a precursor to how Dr. Crygor's microgames all involve spinning the Stylus in circular motions. When the TUNA opens, Dr. Crygor pauses in expression, and the player begins playing through his set of microgames.
When the player finishes Dr. Crygor's microgame set, Dr. Crygor is revealed to have been upgraded from being in the TUNA. Dr. Crygor then uses his jetpack to blast off into outer space, toward some Alien Bunnies, and Dr. Crygor calls outer space his "giant oyster" from being able to freely travel around it. Dr. Crygor eventually makes his way back down to Mushroom Earth, and goes to the Hawt House to party with the other characters.
Dr. Crygor has a karaoke robot named Mike, who also hosts his own microgames played later on. Dr. Crygor appears in both the opening and ending scenes of Mike's story. In the opening, Dr. Crygor has completed building Mike, puts him in charge of cleaning the lab, and leaves. In the ending scene, Dr. Crygor realizes that Mike is missing. He rides the Dribble Taxi into space to find Mike performing karaoke to several Alien Bunnies, where Mike's microgame set took place. Dr. Crygor tells Mike that it is time for them to return to the lab. When they return, Dr. Crygor suggests that he and Mike sing a duet. During this, Mike is unimpressed at Dr. Crygor's singing, and the two of them get into an argument. After this, Mike goes to the Hawt House to join Dr. Crygor and the others.
WarioWare Gold[]
Dr. Crygor has "Twist" microgames and its genre is "Sport". His story involves him in a haunted forest when he discovers Doris 1 who is abandoned by him which she assumes he left her to die. She runs after Dr. Crygor in the microgame gameplay. He also appears in Penny's stage. Dr. Crygor was her test subject. Penny told him that its the way to become a pop star. He tells her that he supports her. When he drank the Tonally Transformative Elixir, his voice changed but a stomachache. Penny cures him the Super-Special Tummy Tonic. In her level, if the player wins the microgame, he feels better while Penny cheers and the tonic defeats the virus. If the player loses the microgame, Dr. Crygor gets the stomachache while Penny holds him and the virus defeats the tonic. If the player loses all lives, Dr. Crygor faints to the ground leaving Penny shocked. After beating the Boss Stage, Penny asks him if he feels better. He tells her that he feels much better. He asked when the effects will wear off. Overall, the effects will not wear off straight away as Penny is seen stammering.

Dr. Crygor's mugshot makes a cameo appearance in Treasure Square, where it represents "WarioWare, Inc. selected 2," consisting of endless repeats of Repellion.
Crossover appearances[]
