Biography

Orbulon once desired to conquer the Mushroom Earth, but after crash-landing there, he gave up this desire and settled in. Orbulon would eventually become an employee of WarioWare, Inc..

In WarioWare series

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

Orbulon has his own set of microgames titled IQ, which as the name suggests, require more thinking to solve. They are twice as long as the other characters' microgames.

Orbulon is first in the game's intro, where he is among the characters called by Wario to join his company WarioWare, Inc.. Orbulon and Wario's other friends agree to join.

During the intro cutscene of his story, Orbulon is cruising in outer space above Mushroom Earth, but a meteorite suddenly hits his vehicle. Orbulon anxiously runs to the exit door and sends a distress signal. Almost immediately after, a group of Space Hares rush in their spaceship to come and rescue Orbulon. From their spaceship, the Space Hares release a cylindrical elevator down to the Oinker, and Orbulon climbs in. The player plays through Orbulon's microgames while the Space Hares drag the elevator back up to their spaceship. At the end of the microgame set, the elevator is successfully pulled back into the Space Hares' spaceship, and it opens, revealing Orbulon.

In the ending of Orbulon's story, right after Orbulon tells the player to be dazzled by alien powers, a Space Hare pulls a lever, causing the elevator and Orbulon to fall back into the Oinker, which lands near the Gelateria. Here, Orbulon is seen in the background, repeatedly popping in and out of the Oinker.

In the game's ending cutscene, Orbulon is among the employees seen demanding Wario to pay them, and like the others, Orbulon reacts in shock when Wario runs off.

Outside of the story, Orbulon is featured in the two-player minigame VS Hurdle, in which he competes against Dr. Crygor in a hurdle race. The objective for both Orbulon and Dr. Crygor, controlled by the first and second players respectively, is to win the race.

WarioWare: Twisted!

Orbulon now has another microgame set titled Time Warp which, like the IQ microgames from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, are twice the length.

Orbulon becomes tired of steering the Oinker, during the opening scene of his story in WarioWare: Twisted!

In the opening scene of his story, Orbulon travels in space again with the Oinker. However, steering the ship tires Orbulon, so he assigns two of the Alien Bunnies, whom Orbulon names his "bunny minions," to fill in on his behalf. Orbulon goes to relax in his seat and calls one Alien Bunny to rub his shoulders. Orbulon is unsatisfied with the Alien Bunny's message, so he assigns the player to massage him instead. The player can massage Orbulon in a brief gameplay demo of them tilting the system. After the massage, Orbulon decides to take a nap and tells his minions to take care of the ship.

Thirty minutes later, the Alien Bunnies are seen napping alongside Orbulon, and three hours later, an alarm goes off in the Oinker to alert Orbulon and the Alien Bunnies that the Oinker is approaching a black hole. Orbulon tries to activate the ship's Warp Mode to escape, but has forgotten the password. The player plays through Orbulon's set of microgames as he tries remembering the password. After the player completes Orbulon's microgame set, the ship accepts his password.

In the ending scene of Orbulon's story, Orbulon manages to activate the Oinker's Warp Mode at the last second. The crew decides to rest, so they steer the Oinker to a nearby planet, which turns out to be a planet-like giant named Space Monster Gabriel. When Gabriel reveals himself, the Oinker flies into his mouth, but a few seconds later Gabriel spits it out. While the Space Bunnies managed to escape the Oinker, the vehicle falls with Orbulon back down to Earth, once again separating him from the Alien Bunnies. The Oinker lands near Club Sugar, and Orbulon is then seen dancing inside with some of the other microgame hosts.

WarioWare: Touched!

Orbulon's appearance in Total Drag in WarioWare: Touched!

Orbulon's cameo in the Retro Action stage in WarioWare: Touched!

Although Orbulon does not have his own microgame set, he is featured in Ashley and Red's story, Total Drag. Here, when lightning strikes the Oinker, Orbulon falls out near Ashley's Mansion. He tries to run after the Oinker only to bump into Ashley, who gets angry at him. Orbulon tries to excuse himself, although Ashley says that Orbulon is the final ingredient for her magic potion. Red tries to capture Orbulon but fails.

Orbulon makes a cameo in opening cutscene of the Retro Action stage, where as 9-Volt and 18-Volt make their way over to the former's home, Orbulon can be seen running after the flying Oinker.

In the character selection screen, Orbulon appears in his Oinker, where he stores newly obtained souvenirs until the player taps it with the Stylus. Souvenirs not stored in the Toy Room appear in the Oinker again when the player starts the game.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Orbulon once again has his own story and set of microgames. His microgames use The Diner form, so the controls involve both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, represented in the game as the Form Baton and Balance Stone respectively.

Orbulon is first seen briefly at the end of Tiny Wario's story, which directly precedes that of Orbulon's. Here, Orbulon looks in awe as Wario is being chased by the Splunks.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Just like the other characters, he left WarioWare Inc. to work at Diamond Software for a better chance to get payed. His scenario involves his Oinker getting struck by lightning but this time, he popped out and landed into a rocket that's almost ready to launch. The news reporter looks shocked on Orbulon has he was wondering on what was that on the rocket, so he took a closeup on him, leaving Orbulon screaming.

WarioWare Gold

He, along with the other characters, return in WarioWare Gold with a new design. He also hosts the Touch League Fantasy microgames. In his stage, he orders in a restaurant called Gigantaburger to order some fast food. He was then going to order 10 hamburgers but at the drive through, a guy named Danny notifies him that all the hamburgers are sold out, so he goes and abducts pigs (or "hams" as he calls it) and brings them to the drive through to "burger" them, Danny seems to be shocked by this and quickly declines his offer since he isn't a chef and tells Orbulon to leave, so he did. He again appears in the Potluck Gang stage in one of the Ultra League stages. He brings a radioactive blue carrot he dubs "carotine logs", but due to this plan being scrapped by 9-Volt, he plays cards with the others. In the ending, he splits the money obtained from the Wario Bowl tournament.

WarioWare: Get It Together!

In his Culture themed level, Wario calls him "nincompoop" for accidentally abducting him in his tractor beam. His gameplay technique moving the L joystick and pressing the A button to activate the tractor beam. In his cutscene,he abducts ancient monuments from other countries, he never did this in Wario's House possibly because it has no culture. At the end of his stage, he sucks up the game bug, and teams up with the others to destroy them. He was also devastated of how much corruption has caused in Wario Bug's Anything Goes stage. At the fake ending of the game, he gets angry for how Wario needed money for making the game, but he soon realized that Red, Master Mantis, and Lulu were captured by Pyoro, so he comes back into the game world to save them.

WarioWare: Move It!

In his stage, Sweet Dreams, Sweeter Fruit, he was eating fruits until his Oinker, getting angry from the mess he caused, shook him off, causing him to fall and lose his memory. As he fell into a forest the Woods Watchers noticed that he looked like their deity called The Voice they started to worship him due to his resemblance.The Oinker got really concerned for him and calls a signal onto his brain, causing mini versions of him to find his memory. As Orbulon got his memories back, he was going to hug it but he slipped on a banana peel, losing his memory again. In the Remix 1 stage, Not-So Relaxing Rapids, he is even sleeping while Lulu is seen riding his Oinker. He started to panic on the beach house detaching from falling into waterfall which was caused by Ashley, Dr. Crygor, and Penny Crygor,Him and the others land safely onto a tour bus. At the ending of the stage, they exit the tour bus to come look at a statue of King Caresaway The First they were now devastated as the statue was crushed by the detached beach house. In the final stage of the game, Lava At First Sight, he dances with the other characters to defeat Volcano Wario. At the end of that stage, he and the others enjoy their vacation while Wario is stuck in a temple.
