With the Mario series branching out in so many different directions, those that saw success carried on, putting out more and more sequels. The Mario Party series saw two sequels on the Nintendo 64, and even more were to come later. In Mario Party 3, it included a story mode about a magical star that fell from the sky, shrinking the Mario characters down to fit inside a toy box and challenging them to compete in mini-games to determine who was worthy to receive its power.
To help referee the competition, the star created Tumble, a living dice block who carried the true star’s power inside him. He would only appear once more, as a referee in Mario Party Advance, but his design and role in the game make him a key option to represent the whole of the Mario Party series.
As a playable fighter, Tumble is small and quick. His moves pull from all over the Mario Party series, but most especially the early games. As would be expected from a Party game character, his moves rely heavily on luck and randomly selected options that will heavily affect how the character plays.
Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen
