Sound Room Wario

[KingDragonWario]

Does anybody have any speculation as to the man dressed as Wario that danced around in the sound room when you played songs? A while back, a friend I knew in real life told me it was Hiroji Kiyotake (the man largely behind Wario), but when I looked him up months ago I saw there was no resemblance between him and the sound room Wario:

That said, any information or names would be appreciated.

theres lots of pixels and wario nose in the way, id say it could be him but i couldnt really tell.

always thought they were random people, but if its the creator himself involved... man, thats some dedication, itd be a real cute detail <3

I think the different clips are from different people, that all worked on Wario Land 4.

Considering one of them's a woman, I'm pretty sure each is a different person.

Really? All this time I thought it was a dude in a wig!

I am of course assuming since I've never met a woman.

Yeah, that was most likely the development team goofing off.

they seem like a cool bunch huehue

 

[King Hehehe]

They seem to goof around a lot. Heck, I've even heard that they made WarioWare without running it by the higher-ups, and just presented the game when they finished it (could be getting the details wrong). Also, that face does kinda look like Kiyotake.

Don't 2 of those things look familiar? ^^ Can any of y'all guess where this is from?

Oh hey, the dog and baby are from the Wario Land 4 sound room animations! But no, can't guess where it's from.

Edit: Though the file name says Mario Artist stamps, so I'm guessing they first appeared in that game. Still doesn't explain exactly where said images are from though. Did Nintendo film them, or buy stock images from somewhere?

 

[ShyGuyXXL]

Though the file name says

Awww you cheater!

Yes, it's from the 64DD game Mario Artist: Paint Studio. More precisely some add-on content you can get from Mario Artist: Communication Kit.
My guess is they had a library of stock images they pulled from, the same they used for Wario Land 4's sound room pictures.

This was also in it.

You can see, the apple and strawberry are the same. I tried to find others as well, but it seems that's all.

 

[CM30]

So it seems they really are just stock images Nintendo owned. Wonder if we can trace the original creators, like we did with the soundtrack samples?

Wasn't the strawberry also used in a Dr. Crygor microgame in Mega Microgame$?

You mean the one where you decorate a cake? That strawberry looks different. There's an Orbulon microgame with a strawberry but that looks different too.

But I swear I've seen the apple and the strawberry somewhere else. I just can't remember where...

Well, it's not the apple crushing/eating microgame. That one's different.

Yeah, I know. Maybe I just rembered it wrong.
