"It's rumored that Wondarappa, can with a single sonic boom, level an entire building putting a new spin on bringing down da' house! In the battle field you'll always see him tapping his feet to the rhythm of the Earth (that's just the poet in him) as he prepares to drop a sonic wall of hurt on enemy lines."

Wondabarappa can equip Longhorns at Level 5. Wondabarappa is a great attacker as he can disrupt foes with high Stagger and Knockback and a great support unit. Also, he can support your team with his Class Skills. Some of Wondabarappa's Class Skills can be enhanced by Charibasa's Team Aid. Cannassault's Stagger+ and Knockback+ Set Skills can make Wondabarrappa devastating.

Wondabarappa's Uberhero Mode involves firing 3 large, bouncing golden soundwaves at once that deals a huge amount of damage. A lot of these are fired when Wondabarappa increases his attack speed, so the damage dealt adds up quickly, good for ground attacks. Most long horns fire at a slower rate, but they have more power. This is however, weak when hitting Towers, Doors, etc., because Sound is not effective against structures.

What Wondabarappa originally looked like
There is an error on Wondabarappa's Class Skills in the game. It says 'Superior skill to Hey Ho (1-3)'. It says Hey Ho instead of Heave Ho.
The difference between the sonic balls of Jamsch and Wondabarappa is that Jamsch fires more sonic balls and elemental ones, but they don't last as long.
Oddly, Wondabarappa is often seen wearing a "Dragon Cape" in concept art even though it does

not exist in the game.
Sometimes while Wondabarappa is in Uberhero Mode if you listen closely you can hear a dog barking. The sound is quite faint and deafly heard.
The Set Skill "Tropical Tailwind" from Alosson is very useful for Wondabarappa, especially when using Wondabarappa's Set Skill "Windmill Power".
Wondabarappa's charge attack
Wondabarappa is one of the classes whose Class Skills focus on one ability that you improve in the process.
Wondabarappa's Class Skills are possibly the easiest ones to unlock, since they only need Fever to level up.
In the Spanish and Italian version, instead of Capes, he wears "Wings".
Jamsch and Wondabarappa can equip Capes, however, if you look closely, the normal Uberhero cape is still there.
Even though Wondabarappa's Rarepon type, "Wanda", deals good damage, this class is actually more of a support unit rather than a good damage dealer because of its Class Skills.
