In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Dribble & Spitz are traveling around Diamond City, where they are called upon by a woman who is really [[Orbulon]] in disguise. She asks them to take her to the farthest reaches of outer space, which Dribble happily agrees to. After driving on a stretch of road, the taxi flies into space. When they arrive, Orbulon's disguise wears off. After passing by a planetoid, the taxi gets dragged into the [[Oinker|UFO]] and Orbulon, after thanking Dribble & Spitz, makes them his underlings. The two shout "numbskull" at Orbulon, causing a nearby asteroid to approach the UFO. It misses them, but more asteroids hit the UFO and causes it to fall back down to Earth and land in Dr. Crygor's laboratory. The three greet him when he falls back into his lab. After, Dribble & Spitz use their taxi to float on water, and they, Orbulon and Dr. Crygor travel to the mainland. During the journey, Spitz tunes in to watch the Super Show. They are also seen at [[Restaurant Sora Sora]].

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Dribble & Spitz drive through [[Interstate 310]], where Spitz fiddles about with the taxi radio. Suddenly, the taxi breaks down, and during their microgames stage, they try to fix it. They fix it in the end, but Dribble decides to push a button that transforms the taxi, and takes them into space. Before long, they pick up an alien customer that asks them to take it to [[Club Sugar]]. When they arrive, they dance on the dance floor. They make another appearance in the epilogue of [[Wario-Man]]'s story, driving in their taxi.

Dribble & Spitz's microgames in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' involve a particular style of gameplay rather than a specific visual theme, which was also continued for the next games in the series until ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' In this game, their set of microgames is called Steer Clear and require tilting the Game Boy Advance and pressing the {{button|gba|A}} Button. Before their stage begins, the player can choose between the songs "[[Dribble & Spitz (souvenir)|Dribble & Spitz]]" and "[[Taxi Sonata]]" to play in the background.


Dribble & Spitz also appear in ''[[WarioWare Twisted Marble Maze Game]]'', where they can both be seen on the Round 3 board.

Dribble & Spitz appear once again in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. On the map, Dribble repeatedly eats a chocolate bar and gets choked up, surprising Spitz. In their opening movie, a curtain rises as spotlights move around. Once they converge on a sign with their names on it, the light expands and they rise from their taxi. Spitz gives off a meow before the scene fades to black. In their story, the two clean their taxi, glad that the weather has turned out to be nice after all. Suddenly a young woman arrives, asking for a ride to a place called [[Tomorrow Hill]]. When they arrive, they are shocked to see that a giant [[Alien Mitzi's Spaceship|spaceship]] has descended to the edge of Tomorrow Hill. The young lady transforms into an alien named [[Alien Mitzi|Mitzi]] and departs using the spaceship, leaving her hat behind. Once they get over their shock, Dribble & Spitz realize that Mitzi did not pay the fare. During [[Tiny Wario]]'s epilogue cutscene, Spitz is seen holding [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] by the tail while Dribble watches nearby as Wario gets chased by some [[Splunk]]s.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Dribble & Spitz's set of microgames involve the forms The Remote Control, The Umbrella, The Dumbbell, The Janitor and The Mohawk. However, the second part of their boss microgame, [[Boot Camp]], involves The Elephant. The song "Tomorrow Hill" plays throughout the stage.


Dribble has his own blog entries at the official Japanese website of the game. His profile mentions his hobby is sewing and that he is famous for his driving, which is described as "thrilling like a roller-coaster ride." His boss, Spitz, is said to occasionally space out.

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', they are once again recruited by Wario to make games for him after Wario runs out of money. In their own stage, Dribble & Spitz drive their taxi across [[The Farthest Edge of Space]] when they stumble into UFO crossfire. Spitz tries to tell Dribble about "stayin' cool", but when a laser beam hits the taxi and nearly knocks the duo out, Spitz declares war on the UFOs, and he and Dribble use the [[Octoblazooka]] to fight back against Dribble's wishes. Eventually, they chase away the remaining UFOs and make it back home, with Spitz standing by his philosophy of "stayin' cool", despite his rage earlier.

Dribble & Spitz are later seen having a potluck with [[9-Volt]], [[18-Volt]], [[5-Volt]], [[Orbulon]], [[Mike]], [[Fronk]], [[Ashley]], and [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] at [[Peridot Campgrounds]], having brought ingredients for s'mores and chicken respectively. When Ashley reveals that she brought a [[Mandrake|mandrake root]] for her ingredient, Spitz plays a prank on Red by crying like a mandrake, causing him to faint. After the potluck, Dribble suggests they invite Wario for the next potluck and they all agree to have one tomorrow.

The game depicts Dribble with an inconsistent number of fingers. In most cutscenes, he is depicted with only four fingers on each hand. However, his Mash League artwork, Potluck Gang stage sprites, and cast roll artwork depict him with five fingers on each hand.

Dribble & Spitz appear in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]''.
Dribble & Spitz appear in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', where they are invited along with the rest of the WarioWare Inc. crew to [[Caresaway Island]]. In the opening of their stage, the duo are shown relaxing aboard their taxi, which has been converted into a motorboat. Spitz wakes up Dribble upon realizing that they have inadvertently floated onto the starting line of the Caresaway Grand Prix. Despite their initial confusion, the duo enthusiastically join the race. Later, they are shown to be in the lead; however, a seagull landing on a directional sign causes it to flip, sending Dribble & Spitz, along with most of their competitors, in the wrong direction. They continue racing off into the sunset, unaware that the [[High-Octane Hippo]] won the Grand Prix.

Dribble & Spitz also appear alongside [[9-Volt]], [[18-Volt]], [[13-Amp]], [[5-Volt]], [[Young Cricket]], [[Master Mantis]], [[Kat & Ana]], and [[Jimmy T]] in ''Pool-Party Panic''. After Kat & Ana accidentally get a ball lodged in [[Poolopus]]' mouth, Dribble & Spitz join the rest of the crew in trying to remove it, only to be flung into the air before landing on a moving tour bus.
 
The duo also appear in the final stage of Story Mode alongside the rest of Wario's friends (besides Wario himself, who has been merged with Perspiration Peak Volcano). Dribble & Spitz are both seen expressing shock at the erupting volcano, before dancing with the others to calm the volcano down.
 
In ''WarioWare: Move It!'', Dribble & Spitz's stage introduce Button prompts, which are used alongside most of the forms introduced in previous stages.
