9-Volt & 18-Volt's games are unlocked by beating James T.'s boss stage in story mode. Their Retro Action games all revolve around classic Nintendo titles given a twist on the touch screen, and involve many different styles of movement.
In the story (Games) mode, you will be presented with a selection of ten randomly-picked microgames from the below list, followed by the boss stage (Gunslinger). Beat both Mike's and 9-Volt & 18-Volt's boss stages to unlock Wario-Man's games and to receive one of the Toys.
Once you have beaten 9-Volt & 18-Volt's boss stage, picking them again in story mode will present you with a repeating cycle of ten randomly-picked games followed by the boss stage, the time limit reducing every few stages, for you to see how far you can progress. If you score over 30 points you will receive another Toy.
Each time you play a new microgame in story mode, you will unlock it in Album mode. Album mode allows you to practice a particular game over and over with a reducing time limit, as a repeating cycle of the three difficulty levels, to see how high you can score. Each microgame in Album mode has a score to beat in order to 'pass' that game (given below). Unlock all the games in Album mode to give 9-Volt & 18-Volt a silver crown. Beat the pass score in all the games to give 9-Volt & 18-Volt a gold crown.
