Mr. Sparkles (accompanied by two [[Alien Bunny|Alien Bunnies]]) first appears on a television program which catches [[5-Volt]]'s attention. He advertises a set of frying pans, but advises customers not to buy them until they get into shape, as the pans are allegedly heavy. Out of boredom, 5-Volt decides to partake in the bodybuilding exercise herself, helping her retrieve [[9-Volt]]'s dropped [[Nintendo 3DS]] later on.
