The '''Baby Face'''<ref>[[Wario Kard]] enemy name</ref><ref>''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' Break Room customization option name</ref> is a character who first appears in ''[[Mario Paint]]''. It has occasionally appeared in other games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. While it is often portrayed as a giggling baby in {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, the original intent behind the Baby Face and its sound appears to be one of a sensual nature.<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|date=2009|quote=「見かけによらず色っぽい声」 (''A sexy voice, despite how it looks.'')|author=[[Super MakerMatic 21#Instruments|Baby]] instrument description|title=メイド イン 俺 (''Meido in Ore'')}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=It's totally a baby.

==History==
===''Mario Paint''===
[[File:Gnat Attack Icons.png|frame|left]]
The Baby Face originally appears in ''[[Mario Paint]]''. In the [[Mario Paint#Art mode|drawing board]], the Baby Face can be placed onto the canvas as a stamp. In the [[Mario Paint#Music mode|music composition mode]], the Baby Face is an instrument that can be placed onto the score. When played, it makes a sound similar to a baby's voice. In [[Gnat Attack]], a winking Baby Face is the fifth icon added to the top left corner of the screen, after completing levels 1 through 3 five times in a row.

===''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio''===
[[File:Baby Face Polygon Studio.png|thumb|200px]]
In ''[[Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'', the Baby Face can be seen floating in the background of the model creation menu. If the player clicks on it, it plays its sound effect from ''Mario Paint''.

===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
[[File:Baby Face WarioWare DIY.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', the Baby Face appears as a stamp in the [[Super MakerMatic 21#Game MakerMatic|Game MakerMatic]] mode of the [[Super MakerMatic 21]]. It also appears in the downloadable [[microgame]] [[Boxed Up (WarioWare: D.I.Y.)|Boxed Up]], where it is one of the objects that must be placed into its corresponding box.

====''Game & Wario''====
In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', Baby Faces appear in two microgames in [[Gamer]]. In [[Super Fly Swatter]], they have a chance of replacing the [[Fly (Mario Paint)|flies]]. In [[Windbag (microgame)|Windbag]], Baby Faces fall from the sky in level 1, along with spiked balls. However, unlike spiked balls, Baby Faces fall more quickly and suddenly, and only replace the player's head if they hit them, without causing them to lose the microgame.

====''WarioWare Gold''====
The Baby Face can occasionally appear on the third difficulty level of [[Shave the World]] in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', as one of the faces revealed after completely shaving the Earth. In [[Tiptoe Titan]], the Baby Face is one of the characters that can walk under [[Wario]]'s feet. Additionally, one of [[Wario Deluxe]]'s distractions in [[Wario Interrupts]] replaces every sound played during a microgame with the Baby Face's sound effect.

In [[Wario Kard]], the Baby Face is an enemy which only uses scissors or paper.

====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====
[[File:Baby Face Break Room.jpg|thumb|300px]]
In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', a special customization option named Baby Face and represented by the face itself appears in the [[WarioWare: Get It Together!#Break Room|Break Room]], unlocked after reaching level 6. When this customization is applied to a crew member, they adopt a red and white color scheme, and their voice is replaced with the Baby Face's sound effect.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:SMM SFX 9.png|thumb|left|100px]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', the Baby Face appears as a placeable [[List of sound effects in Super Mario Maker|sound effect]], named '''Baby'''. When activated, the Baby Face appears briefly, and the sound effect plays the same sound as in ''Mario Paint''. Some of the game's [[List of Super Mario Maker stamps|stamps]] depict the Baby Face making different expressions.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2SE Baby.png|thumb|left|100px]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Baby Face returns as a [[List of sound effects in Super Mario Maker 2|sound effect]], functioning identically to its appearance in ''Super Mario Maker''. However, if used in night levels, the sound effect is pitch-shifted, and occasionally plays a sound of a baby (more like an adult) screaming instead.
