The SK8[1] (a pun on "skate") is a special skateboard constructed by Dr. Crygor for 9-Volt. It is 9-Volt's primary way of transportation in the WarioWare series. The skateboard features a rocket booster, allowing it to move automatically or even to hover in mid-air. While doing the latter, its four wheels are also able to retract.
History[edit]
WarioWare series[edit]
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$![edit]
The SK8 is first seen in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. In 9-Volt's story, he rides it home after school is over. When he returns home, the SK8 is seen against the wall to the left. In the end of his story, he rides it again to buy a Game Boy Advance SP. This time, he retracts the wheels and flies towards the city. He also rides it to the Gelateria. The SK8 also plays a central role in the skateboarding mini-game Skating Board. There, the player controls the skating 9-Volt and has to avoid obstacles.
The sprites of the SK8 originate from an unused sprite from Wario Land 4 depicting the shop owner on a skateboard.
