Article on Super Mario Wiki | Kat and Ana |
Kat & Ana (カット&アナ, Kat & Ana) are young twin ninjas from the WarioWare series. Combining their names will spell katana, a type of Japanese sword, which strangely enough neither sister uses. Instead, they wield middle-Asian cutlasses.
Origin
Kat & Ana are recurring characters of the WarioWare, Inc. franchise. They have appeared in every game in the series. In each new title, they offer a different short story with a set of microgames to go with it. Kat & Ana's microgames always focused on one specific type of controller input, such as drawing on the Nintendo DS touch screen in WarioWare: Touched! (Nintendo 3DS in WarioWare Gold), or using the Game Boy Advance's A button in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and WarioWare: Twisted!.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As an Assist Trophy
Kat & Ana appear as Assist Trophy characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kat and Ana use a special dance combination, in which they fly in from various locations off-screen and cross over at the summoner's opponent(s). Any characters that make contact with either Kat or Ana will take 10% damage. If Kat and Ana both hit, characters that are caught in the X will take 20% damage. Kat & Ana are the Assist Trophy parallels to the Pokémon Latias and Latios.
An interesting fact to note is that their voices are ripped directly from the voice samples in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii. Upon being summoned, the duo will say either "Ninja!" or "Katana!".
Trophy
- Kat and Ana
- Twin female ninjas who attend Diamond City Kindergarten. Kat, the older of the two, has pink hair, while the younger Ana has orange hair. Both of the girls are still very young, but they're also very respectful and address their superiors as budding ninjas should. Kat and Ana have a soft spot for living things. Kat loves cats, and Ana is attracted to flowers.

As an Assist Trophy
Kat & Ana reappear as Assist Trophy characters, filling the same role they played in the previous game. They now sport their design from Game & Wario.
In Smash Tour
Kat & Ana's trophy is one of the red items in Smash Tour. When it is used before a battle, the user will automatically tech all collisions with walls and ceilings for the duration of that battle.
Trophy
- Kat & Ana
- These ninja twin sisters of the Iga Clan attend Diamond City Kindergarten. The high-tech katanas they carry, made by Dr. Crygor, are like an extension of their own bodies. They strike at incredible speed with devastating attacks. By the way, Kat is the one with pink hair.
- Telling these twin sisters apart is easy: Kat's hair is pink; Ana's is orange. They both go to Diamond City Kindergarten, love nature, and train as ninjas with the Iga clan. In this game, they deliver an impressive joint cross-slash attack with the gigantic high-tech swords Dr. Crygor made them.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Although Kat & Ana no longer appear as an Assist Trophy, they do appear together as a Spirit. Kat & Ana operate the Ninja Style Dojo which increases throw power, grab power, item power, move speed, and fall speed, but majorly decreases attack power, special-move power, defense, and weight. Their dojo is found near one of the Spirit Train's stations.
