It was remodeled from a regular {{wp|taxicab}} by [[Dr. Crygor]], and is able to turn into a spaceship and rocket through space. It has appeared in every one of Dribble & Spitz's stories.  

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', Dribble & Spitz first tune up the taxi at [[Diamond Taxi]] before picking up a customer, and the stage subsequently takes place in the taxi, with the music coming from the car's radio, the lives being represented by little Spitz dolls hanging from the car's roof, and the current level being displayed in the odometer. The colors in the taxi also change to the reflect the stage's difficulty. Of note is that the customer's fare is automatically set to $77,777 when Dribble turns it on.

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', the taxi is being driven by Dribble & Spitz again along [[Interstate 310]] when Spitz starts playing around with its radio (this again sets the music for the stage). It then suddenly breaks down on the road, and Dribble & Spitz get to work repairing it. Whenever a microgame begins, the taxi's hood pops open and it zooms inside. During the stage, the taxi smiles when a microgame is won and gets angry when a microgame is lost. After completing all of the microgames, Dribble & Spitz transform the taxi into a spaceship and fly into space, where they pick up [[Ocktor]].

In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', the taxi brings in more characters to the plaza after the other levels have been completed. In [[Mike]]'s story, [[Dr. Crygor]] uses the taxi to pick him up.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Dribble & Spitz are cleaning their taxi when [[Alien Mitzi]] asks them to take her to [[Tomorrow Hill]], and Dribble promptly ferries her there. As in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', the interior of the taxi is where the stage takes place, and the details from that game are repeated in this one (excluding the change in color).

 

 

The taxi is redesigned for this game. It now has a more curved hood with a slightly more elaborate silver ornament on it, four headlamps replace the license plate and there are stripes on the sides, as well as four round lamps spelling "TAXI" for a new top sign. These lamps act as the life counters, breaking as the player fails.

In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', the player takes control of the taxi in the minigame [[Taxi (minigame)|Taxi]]. The main objective of this game is to transport clients rescued from UFOs to shelters. The vehicle can transport three clients at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*While it has yet to be seen in a game, Dr. Crygor's schematics reveal that a map-reading {{wp|prairie dog}} lives under the taxi's hood, serving as its navigator.<ref name=dribbletaxi/>
