Master Mantis is the teacher of Young Cricket. The first game he appeared in was WarioWare: Smooth Moves. He has since then appeared in every WarioWare game, and became a playable character in WarioWare: Get It Together!.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
He and Cricket are out and spot a busy stall selling their favourite food, meat dumplings. Cricket, eager to satisfy their hunger and please his master, runs on top of the other customers' heads to fetch them a portion. When he returns, however, he notes his master's dissapointment in his lack of patience, returning the dumplings and standing in line for them like everyone else.
WarioWare D.I.Y.

WarioWare Gold
In WarioWare Gold, Mantis takes Young Cricket to an amusement park, pointing out that the rides can also train his student. After passing the trial of the Precious Prancers (which was really just a merry-go-round), Young Cricket joins his master to go to the ferris wheel, but Master Mantis points out Lulu is clinging to his arm and must be shooed off.
He appears again in the first Mix-Up level, dancing at Club Joe. Much like Dr. Crygor, his awful moves turn away customers rather than attract them to the club. Thankfully, the rest manages to compensate for their awful dancing and many customers to go Club Joe.
In the final cutscene, he instructs Cricket to grab Wario as he attempts to escape, forcing the greedy man to watch as everyone divides his remaining money fairly amongst themselves.
WarioWare: Get It Together!
In WarioWare: Get It Together, Master Mantis is sucked into Wario's newest game along with the rest. When the Wario Bug is defeated and most of the gang makes it back to the real world, Wario manages to distract his friends by pointing out Red, Master Mantis and Lulu are missing. The rest jumps back into the game to find them. Master Mantis is found in the Super Hard stage, where he is found sleeping while tied up and upside-down.
In the game, he plays similar to Young Cricket, moving very quickly and jumping high, useful for both mobility and attacking or interacting with things. Unlike Cricket, however, Master Mantis can stick to ceilings and other surfaces and move upside-down, which has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
Like the other characters, he can be levelled up with Prezzies, unlocking character art and the ability to customize his appearance.
