Description[]
Personality[]
While not much is known regarding her personality, it is known that Technikki has a way with machines. She is set on designing a security system to protect Merrygo Island, and those who know of her claim that she is a "resident genius." She is Adaphne's rival, although the two are capable of setting their differences aside.
Physical Appearance[]
Technikki is a slim, tall Concordian humanoid with light blue skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. She has a lab coat, a dark blue crop top and trousers, and goggles that resemble a wrench.
History[]
Technikki makes her debut when the Bros. face off against a Snaptor flock on Merrygo Island. When more arrive, Technikki attacks the Snaptors with a Bomb, after which she introduces herself. After the Bros. link Merrygo Island to Shipshape Island, Technikki moves to the latter, where she makes the weapons that the Bros. use for their Bros. Attacks. She has a rival named Adaphne, who lives on Jellyfish Island.
During the endgame, Technikki becomes a victim of Reclusa, being captured by one of the fiend's flowers.

Behind the Scenes[]
Etymology[]
Technikki takes her name from the feminine name "Nikki," merged with the suffix "techno-," which describes something related to technology and is descended from the Greek word tékhnē ("skill" or "means"; written τέχνη), fitting for her nature as an inventor.
Nomenclature[]
Technikki is known as Gimiruda (written ギミルダ), which comes from a combination of gishi ("engineer"; written 技師) and a Japanese translation of the name "Milda." Her Chinese name, Gōngchéngshī, means "engineer," though her name is written 宫程诗 to distinguish from the term for an actual engineer (written 工程師). In Spanish, she is called Ingénia, from ingeniero ("engineer"), and Portuguese calls her "Intelekta" (a corruption and genderbender of intelecto ("intellect")). In Italian, she is called Ingénia, from ingegno ("ingenuity") and a feminisation of génio ("genius"). French translates her name as Ingénette, from ingénieure ("engineer"). Her German name, is Doctor Voltson, with "Voltson" coming from volt with the surname suffix -son ("son of") slapped onto the end. Korean translates her name as Tekeunita (written 테크니타), from a Korean transliteration of "technique" merged with the name Nita.
