- “Aren't muscles just the absolute best?”
- —Mr. Sparkles, WarioWare Gold
Mr. Sparkles is a character that appears in WarioWare Gold. He is a bodybuilder who regularly weightlifts his signature frying pans, and is notable for, besides his build, his enthusiasm and constant smiling.
Mr. Sparkles 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.
Mr. Sparkles appears as a deception in the Sneaky Gamer mode of the game, lifting 9-Volt's television rack in place of 5-Volt to reveal himself, and may also appear on TV when it is on.

Trivia
- Mr. Sparkles' rank A card states he frequents the same gym as a "wrestler who gets interviewed all the time," presumably a nod to the Rhythm Heaven series' Ringside game and its protagonist.
