Mona, meanwhile, is on her red scooter, driving through various landscapes. At one point, Mona must stop before a large group of children passing the street. While she is waiting, she is shocked to realize that it is already 7:55. After the children pass through the street, Mona continues to hurry. She drives past a Diamond Police car, however. The police notices her speeding and chases her. To get rid of the police, Mona asks her animals for help.
Eventually, Mona can finally escape from the Diamond Police. She runs inside the Gelateria and inserts her staff card at 7:59, only two seconds from 8 o'clock. Her employer Joe is very happy that she has arrived in time. Mona then wears her uniform and starts serving gelato.

There, Dr. Crygor tries to fix Wario's broken Game Boy Advance with his invention, the Gravitator, but it has no buttons after the repairing. Instead, players had to move the system to move the character in the game. Mona and 9-Volt try and enjoy it, giving Wario the idea to make a new WarioWare game involving this gameplay.
In her story, Mona changes her workplace once again. Now, she is employed at Mona Pizza, a pizzeria owned by Joe, there known as Pizza Joe. Mona Pizza is a competitor to Pizza Dinosaur, a huge restaurant chain. In Mona's story, a customer mistakenly calls Pizza Dinosaur for Mona Pizza.

He also announced that Mona has a gig at the Hawt House. After watching it, Vanessa, furious, vows to keep Mona and her friends from reaching the Hawt House.
At this time, Mona, Art and Deco are doing their last music probes at Mona Pizza before their gig. When they are done, Mona drives her scooter toward the Hawt House while Art and Deco follow her in a van. While they were on their way, Vanessa and the two employees of Pizza Dinosaur appear on motorcycles to slow the trio. Then Vanessa drives toward the Hawt House while the Dinosaurs drive a bird-like vehicle and fly directly over the trio, grabbing Art.
Mona calls her animal friends for help, who came in small propeller aircrafts, but they are kicked away by the bird-like machine. Even Pizza Joe arrived in a similar aircraft, but he is kicked away as well. The last helpers are 4.1 and 4.2, who fly in a spherical flying vehicle, who are able to shoot soccer balls at the Dinosaur's machine, but they eventually fail. Deco then activates an ejection seat of the van, causing the bird-like machine to release Art and fall down finally. With the machine gone, the trio hurry to the Hawt House.
