Although the first seven entries in the Mario Party series tended to follow the same formula, things started to change with 2007’s Mario Party 8. The Koopa Kids disappeared, never to be heard from again, and much of the core mechanics and board designs were changed up here. The game’s story revolved around a carnival, the various minigames being hosted by a grinning emcee and his talking hat.
This is MC Ballyhoo and his faithful companion Big Top. They only appeared as the hosts of this game, but they left enough of an impression that they are still remembered as the faces of Mario Party to this day.
As characters, they will be jumpy and erratic, with good speed and jumping ability that will likely require some skill to master. Their moves will pull from the unique mechanics only seen in their home game, such as the magical candies that replaced the items of games past.
