| [[File:WWSM Penny Prologue.png|250px|thumb|left|Penny competing against Dr. Crygor]] | | As their name implies, Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are constantly airborne. Winged Pikmin can also [[carry]] objects into the air, enabling them to take shortcuts, but they carry objects slower than other Pikmin types. Winged Pikmin [[Carry#Winged Pikmin|behave differently]] when they carry objects alongside other Pikmin. |
| In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Penny enters a competition called the "Invent-Off" at the Diamond Academy and is pitted against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appears to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls out her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air, which knocks Dr. Crygor down. Penny then takes one of [[Mike]]'s head-mounted microphones and decided to sing a song to the cheering crowd, after her jetpack and goggles will disappear after transforming.

|
| Later, Penny sends her motorcycle to [[Wario]]. Wario is then sucked inside the motorcycle while using it and is turned into [[Tiny Wario]].
| | Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow leaders more smoothly, as they can fly over obtrusions on the terrain, over [[water]], or over [[pit]]s. There are a few disadvantages, however. It's harder for them to take down small Pellet Posies (but still possible, with careful aim{{cite youtube|oMe5bryGCko|demonstrating how Winged Pikmin can still take down Pellet Posies}} or by throwing from below), and if their [[leader]] is underwater they cannot be [[throw]]n at all. They are also weaker than other Pikmin types in terms of attack power, but the fact that they can fly makes fighting airborne enemies and targeting specific weak points in larger enemies more convenient. Contrary to popular belief, Winged Pikmin do not cause more damage to flying enemies. |

| The Japanese website for ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' features a blog section for the ''WarioWare'' developers. In her blog entry, Penny posts a photo of her going to the beach with Dr. Crygor and states she loves her grandfather dearly despite his reputation as a "creep" and a "weirdo". In the comments, Penny responds to a comment left by [[Ashley]] explaining her bodysuit was created by her grandfather and can adjust itself to any temperature.
| | Interestingly, Winged Pikmin cannot be [[crush]]ed, except by the crystal cubes released from the [[Plasm Wraith|final boss]]. Whenever they get hit by an attack that would crush regular Pikmin, Winged Pikmin are merely thrown backward.{{cite youtube|Vyu_mt_QHI8|demonstrating how Winged Pikmin cannot get crushed, except against the Plasm Wraith}} |

| ====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
| | It's possible for a Winged Pikmin to walk on the ground like any other Pikmin instead of flying. This can happen while building a [[bridge]], [[digging]], drinking [[nectar]], going back to the [[Onion]], pushing an [[obstacle]] such as an [[iron ball]], attacking a [[gate]], after being thrown away by an attack (if they are not called back and can't find an enemy to attack), after being [[ink]]ed or set [[Fire|ablaze]] (they will either fly or run), or when rescued from [[Water|drowning]] (if the player whistles the Pikmin, it will fly, but if the Pikmin manages to escape alone, it will set foot on ground). They will also set foot on the ground after sliding or using a [[geyser]] (in which case they will stay on the ground until their leader moves). |

| In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Penny helps the player and [[Wario]] create microgames. As such, she leads the game's tutorials. During the tutorial, she is paired up with Wario who serves as her student as well as the player. She frequently makes sarcastic quips toward Wario's intelligence and patience, though she is quick to apologize when Wario gets offended.

| ====''Game & Wario''====
| | In {{hp}}, Winged Pikmin behave similarly to {{p3}} but have the new ability to carry Olimar until he hits the ground if he falls from a certain distance, similar to gliding. Whilst Olimar is being carried, holding down on {{button|3ds|stick}} allows him to descend faster, and upwards will make him perform a short hop, increasing the amount of air time. The left and right walking commands are the same while gliding and don't have any perks. Certain areas have a "wind effect" which pushes Olimar in the direction the wind is blowing; using a short hop allows the player to get slightly more height depending on which direction the wind blows. Notably Winged Pikmin also fly straight to the point the player taps on the screen without arching like other Pikmin. |

| |
| In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', Penny appears as the host of the multiplayer minigame [[Fruit (minigame)|Fruit]], where she gives tips to the "agent" player and reacts to set pieces (such as reactivating the lights when they are turned off). Additionally, like most of the other WarioWare developers, Penny is in the [[Bowling]] minigame depicted as a pin.

|
| |
|
| As with the other ''WarioWare'' characters, Penny makes an appearance in ''[[Game & Wario#Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection|Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection]]'', a series of videos showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Penny's video is themed after drawings of [[wikipedia:Prince Shōtoku|Prince Shōtoku]], an important ruler in Japanese history.
| | In {{p4}}, Winged Pikmin appear with a visibly unchanged behavior from {{p3}}. However, they are now more vulnerable to crushing hazards. |

| [[File:Penny Pop Star Gold.png|thumb|left|225px|Penny telling her grandfather of her plans to become a pop star and imagining herself dressed up as [[Sal Out]]]]
| |
| With [[Wario]] asking for her assistance, Penny appears as the final host of the Twist League in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', hosting the That's Life microgames. In her story, she develops a potion she calls the [[Tonally Transformative Elixir]], which she hopes will give her the voice she needs to become a "mega pop star". She uses Dr. Crygor as a test subject, but all that occurs is a slight increase in pitch in his voice and a major stomach ache. She then makes an elixir to combat the stomach ache, which succeeds, but it is implied the effects of the Tonally Transformative Elixir will not wear off any time soon. Later, during the Dancing Team set of the Ultra League, she arrives with [[Mona]], [[Jimmy T]], [[Mike]], [[Fronk]], [[Young Cricket]], [[Master Mantis]], [[Kat & Ana|Kat, Ana]], and Dr. Crygor to assist [[Joe]] in filling up his nightclub, [[Club Joe]], with attendants. After Dr. Crygor and Master Mantis unintentionally drive off almost everyone in the club with their dance moves, Penny decides that the thing that draws people in is music, and proceeds to sing very angelically, which almost instantly fills the nightclub up. She later joins in the party, continuing to sing. At the very end, she, along with all of Wario's friends, split the money Wario gained from the Wario Bowl tournament, much to Wario's dismay.

| [[File:WWGIT Jet Tank One.jpg|thumb|300px|Penny unveiling the [[Jet Tank One]].]]
| |
| Penny appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', though she does not appear in Story mode until after defeating the [[Wario Bug]]. After obtaining the Golden Beehive, Golden Toilet Paper Roll, and the Golden Holey Mug, Wario and his crew find a note from the [[Pyoro|brown monster]] daring them to combine the three items. When Dr. Crygor cannot think of how to do so, he decides to call Penny for help.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, back in [[Diamond City]], Penny had just finished inventing the [[Jet Tank One]] in her [[Penny's Lab|lab]] and gives it a test run when she receives the call from Crygor. She quickly flies to [[WarioWare, Inc.]] using the water blaster and enters the game. Inside the game, she boards a pink helicopter and flies to Wario's crew. She soon combines the three items into a [[Golden Watering Can]]. After she fills the Golden Watering Can with water, it floats towards a nearby toilet and waters it, causing a massive beanstalk to grow from the toilet hole. Penny suggests climbing it, believing that there must be something at the top.

| | |
| As a playable character, Penny uses her Jet Tank One. Tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} in a direction makes Penny spray water toward that direction, with the recoil of the water blaster pushing her the opposite direction. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} allows her to hover in midair, which negates the recoil of the water blaster, and pressing {{button|switch|a}} again cancels the hover, allowing her to move again. The ability to fire projectiles quickly (at a rate even surpassing those of traditional projectile-based characters) allows her to easily clear microgames where many objects must be cleared out in a small amount of time (e.g. [[Shadow Sports]], [[Witch! Which?]]). Her water is also effective in pushing or spinning objects (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]], [[Weird Windmill]]). Penny can also uniquely affect microgames that involve water, fire, and heat (e.g. [[Sanitation Station]], [[Hot Hoops]], [[Foggy Glasses]]). However, there are some disadvantages: because the water projectiles have active hitboxes, inadvertent use of her ability may cause her to lose the microgame with the water possibly contacting undesired objects (e.g. [[Rock Candy (microgame)|Rock Candy]], [[Fishy Felines]]), which may even render the microgame [[Unwinnable state|impossible to win]] ([[Balance the Scales]] and [[Pop Goes the Party]]). Penny herself is also comparably slower than flying characters, and is insufficient in quickly applying constant pressure to objects (e.g. [[Blow Your Horn]]). Due to her inverted movement, games that require her to move to a precise location are also a bad fit (e.g. [[Take a Seat]]), as she is more difficult to control. Overall, Penny has microgames evenly distributed to each suitability level (18 bad, 50 below-average, 53 average, 51 above-average, and 40 good).

| [[File:Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike's Cutscene in WWMI.png|left|thumb|Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike wondering what caused inspiration for one particular cave drawing]]
| |
| Penny appears in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' where she, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast, join Wario on his vacation to [[Caresaway Island]]. Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike all share a stage together titled "A Curious Case of Cave Art", where the three of them explore the [[Underarm Jungle]]. They find cave drawings, in which Penny points out that her brochure states that they were drawn by real cavemen. Intrigued by one of the drawings, three group try to comprehend what could have inspired the creation of the drawing. Dr. Crygor suddenly has an idea and presents the [[Time Obliterator 5.0]], a time travel device. Using the device, the group travel to the prehistoric times, and Penny praises Dr. Crygor for his successful invention. The three then see a bored caveman drawing the specific cave drawing in action, who is looking for inspiration. Upon seeing the group, the caveman gains creative inspiration and orders them to stand and pose while he draws them. After the stage is cleared, the trio is exhausted from doing all of their posing, but watch in awe seeing the caveman drawing new cave art.
