Chromatic melody?

What "chromatic melody" in the tune does this describe? Please elaborate... Also we need a verified title for this musical tune, aside from "Dr. Crygor" itself in DIY Showcase. Don't click Penny PnnyCrygr User contributions 19:12, March 18, 2024 (EDT)

It's heard very clearly as the eight notes played in the instrumental at the start of Penny's Song (the "DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo"). And agreed; I've seen the name "Dr. Crygor's Bathroom Jam" used a lot by fans (including elsewhere on this wiki) but I'm not sure where exactly it's from.

The other theme

As is stated in the article, Dr. Crygor's theme was originally itself a variant of another theme from Mega Microgame$!, and I think it's worth discussing whether or not these two should be counted as separate themes. I personally think they should be (the "DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo" melody that keeps showing up in new WarioWare games is specifically from the music for Dr. Crygor's stage in Mega Microgame$! after all), but since that other theme is otherwise pretty much entirely confined to Mega Microgame$! and its mostly-port (and the "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" from Brawl), it may or may not make sense to group the two themes together with this one article covering both. JanMisali (talk) 17:08, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

I had forgotten about its use in the WarioWare microgame from Get It Together!. Counting the three separate Smash games that use the "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" and the versions of Dr. Crygor's theme that specifically preserve the melody from the original theme, that's eight separate games that use that theme, making it eligible for its own article. But since that theme doesn't have an official name (or commonly used conjectural name), and since its various appearances overlap so significantly with this theme, should instances of "unnamed recurring cutscene motif from Mega Microgame$!" be listed on this article? jan Misali (talk · contributions) 12:36, May 13, 2024 (EDT)
