Cicada is a character from the Two-Player Endless Game Kung Fu Ball in Rhythm Heaven Fever who also appears in the WarioWare series. In Kung Fu Ball, she is one of the two playable characters, alongside Young Cricket. She was unnamed until her appearance in WarioWare: Move It!, over ten years after her original Rhythm Heaven series debut.

History[edit]

WarioWare Gold[edit]

Cicada appears in the Young Cricket and Master Mantis character trailer for WarioWare Gold, where she is shown training with Young Cricket.[1]

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

Cicada appears in a minor cameo role in one of Master Mantis's unlockable pieces of artwork in WarioWare: Get It Together!, where she once again appears training with Young Cricket.

WarioWare: Move It![edit]

Cicada makes her first appearance in a non-cameo role in WarioWare: Move It!, appearing in the story for Young Cricket and Master Mantis's stage, "Battle on Flashfreeze Cape!", initially disguised as the head penguin warrior. After being defeated by Cricket, she doffs her disguise, to the shock of Cricket and Mantis, and then tells them that she will train harder before leaving, leaving Cricket and Mantis confused as to who she is.
