## Appearance

Sparky is a ghost resembling a dog with black floppy ears. He has large white eyes with eye bags and long black arms. He wears a Hitaikakushi and is always holding a handheld gaming console called the "PlayBox Advance". Instead of legs he has a semi-transparent whisp at the end of his body. He has a purple spirit symbol on the front of his body. His hammer is a red cylinder on a brown rod. Additionally, he wears a brown backpack with two latches on his back.

Whoosh is a small will-o-wisp-like ghost with no limbs, black eyes and a fanged mouth. His whisp somewhat resembles the tail of a tadpole. He is always seen floating by Sparky's side.

Their alternate outfit is the same appearance except Sparky's Hitaikakushi is replaced with a long black diamond like version with a simplified form of the symbol on his body. His hammer's head is also replaced with a black cylinder rather than a red one.

## Introduction (Gamecube & Playstation 2)

Sparky & Whoosh are first seen available to match against on Planet Frosticle. When Scooter arrives he is met with a floating PlayBox Advance. Picwick does not recognize this device, but Scooter informs him it is a game console. As Scooter reaches to grab it, Sparky appears and is playing on the device. Whoosh tells Scooter to keep his hands off because they are busy playing it. Scooter does not know how to react and Whoosh proceeds to introduce themselves. He claims they are the "top gamers" from around there and will continue to keep gaming during their Frolf match. Whoosh says that it is their job; amazing Scooter that they are able to multitask like that. Laughing, Whoosh says of course, and calls Scooter a loser. Floating over to Sparky, he asks Sparky to show them how he he can play video games and make a super shot. Appearing out of nowhere, their frog placed atop their catapult. As Whoosh flaunts, saying that they rock, Sparky hits him with his hammer on accident. This brings no reaction to Sparky as he is still focusing on his video game. Whoosh falls forward and falls into the snow below, with a small ghost being seen coming out of him. He gives no response when Scooter asks if he is okay, and references his last statement saying. "he sure sunk like a rock".

After defeating Sparky & Whoosh for the first time they will either offer a random item or Shakey's egg for 4444C.

The duo is next available on Planet Lavatron as Sparky & Whoosh 2. Scooter is happy to see them again and casually says hi. This makes Whoosh tell him not to get friendly with them. He says that last time they had messed up and made a minor mistake, which is very unusual for them. Therefore, he will be able to show off Sparky's super shot for sure this time. Like last time, their frog and catapult appear out of nowhere, but Whoosh steps aside as to not get hit again. Suddenly, the lights of Sparky's PlayBox Advance begin flashing rapidly and Sparky plays more intensely. Whoosh heads back over to Sparky asking if he finally beat the "big boss", however, at this moment Sparky slammed his hammer down and hits Whoosh. After spinning around for a bit, Whoosh falls into the ground again. As a small ghost leaves his body, Scooter says that they will never learn.

After defeating Sparky & Whoosh 2, Whoosh admits that Scooter plays better than he had thought. He then offers the hints and clues for Mega Zapper Men 2. However, the hints and clues data is priced at 100,000C. If Scooter says yes, Whoosh will change his mind and not sell the data.

Sparky & Whoosh are available to match against on Ribbetopia after defeating version 2 of all of the other characters. Scooter needs to defeat them in order to get the hints and clues for Mega Zapper Men 2 to give to Captain Oinka. Captain Oinka is threatening to destroy Hippitron, Scooter's home planet, if he does not receive the information. After Sparky & Whoosh are defeated, Scooter asks them if he can get the hints and clues. Whoosh is confused as to why someone would want hints and clues for that old game but says that they did have them. However, they got bored of it and threw it away. Shocked, Scooter is concerned on how he will be able to save his planet. He begins imagining Captain Oinka destroying Hippitron but snaps back into reality as Picwick announces that he had just cleared all of the levels and beat Mega Zapper. Scooter cannot believe it and looks at the PlayBox Advance himself, confirming that Picwick did indeed beat the game. Relieved that they are now able to save their planet, they head back home. Going back to Sparky & Whoosh, Whoosh is confused about what they were going on about. Brushing it off, he wonders who would even need an old hints and clues guide anyway. Sparky speaks up for the first time and says that he thinks "that basket guy" might be a better gamer than he is. Taking a moment to understand how absurd Sparky's statement is, Whoosh quickly tells him he is out of his mind.
