Mona Pizza (song): Difference between revisions

|footer=The record cases for the English (blue/cyan) and Japanese (orange/pink) versions of Mona Pizza in ''WarioWare Gold''

'''Mona Pizza''' is a song that serves as the advertisement jingle for the [[Mona Pizza|restaurant of the same name]] in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, first heard in Mona's level in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' It is sung in-universe by the pop idol [[Sal Out]].

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Mona Pizza is heard over the commercial that plays for the entirety of the gameplay portion in Mona's level, even over the [[microgame]]s aside from the boss microgame. The first half of the song is sung by Sal Out, with various comments by [[Joe]], some of which are in Italian. The second half of the song features [[The Dinosaurs]] from [[Pizza Dinosaur]], who disparage Mona Pizza and brag that their mediocre pizza sells better because they have more locations.  

The song also appears in the form of a [[List of WarioWare: Twisted! souvenirs|souvenir]], located in the Records folder. In addition, the [[Violin (souvenir)|Violin]] souvenir teaches the player how to play Mona Pizza on the instrument, and the [[Pizza Music Box]] plays the song when wound up.

 

The English version of the song is in a slightly lower key than the Japanese version. This is also the case in ''Touched!'', but not in ''Gold'' or the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

'Cause we've got six thousand stores plus!<br>

While the song itself does not appear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the countermelody of the second half of the music heard in Mona's portion of the staff credits is an instrumental arrangement of the repeated melody of the song's first two verses. Additionally, the short tune heard when Mona takes out her [[Mona's Boomerang|boomerang]] in the introduction to her level, That's Life, is based on the same melody. An excerpt of Mona Pizza also appears in the microgame [[Music Mischief]].

An arranged version of the song also appears in both English - in an edited version - and Japanese in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', under the name "'''Mona Pizza's Song'''". It was arranged by then-[[Game Arts]] composer Takahiro Nishi. In the English version, Sal Out's vocals are provided by [[Christina Peyser]] while the Pizza Dinosaur employees' vocals are done by [[Nate Bihldorff]] and Andy Hartpence. The arrangement is absent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' but returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
