What NDCubes obsession with pairs tells me about Mario Party 10s roster.

[3D Player 2004]

So lets start this pairs talk all the way at Mario Party 1!
In that there were 6 Characters. There were 2 unpaired characters (Peach and Wario) and other Characters were not fully aligned on the character select screen.
Mario Party 3:
Daisy and Waluigi come in to pair up the previously unpaired characters but characters are still not pair aligned on the Character select screen. This is the first installment where everybody was paired.
Similar scenario to Mario Party 3 in Mario Party 5.
Mario Party 6:
Toadette comes in giving Toad a new pair leaving Yoshi unpaired. This is the final installment where some characters lacked a pair.
Mario Party 7:
Birdo comes in giving Yoshi a pair again. Character selection still isn't pair aligned however.
Similar scenario to Mario Party 7 in Mario Party 8.
Mario Party 9:
NDCubes first Mario Party. Other than a complete revamp of what the playable characters are, NDCube took pairs a step further and made the Character selection screen pair aligned for the first time.

So what this tells me is:

the confirmed characters and characters that they link to in Red.

Mario-Luigi
Peach-Daisy
Wario-Waluigi
Yoshi-Birdo

And then I will say one more thing.

"Rosalina will be playable" "Luma will not be playable" one of these statements is false, the other is true; Mark my words.

do you see anything... strange about the mario party: island tour roster?

 

[Vommack]

inb4 both are true

 

[Ray Trace]

So....Hudson Soft made Mario Party 7, where the SOLE advertisement was partners. NdCube has NO obsession compared to THAT.

no

no

Bowser Jr. being a playable character is a problem I have with it.

Not that I hate Bowser Jr. but seriously, it's freaking stupid to think of him landing on a Bowser space and those Bowser things happening to him.

Bowser is a very bad daddy.

 

[MnSG]

Maybe Bowser just wants to see if his son has what it takes to be the next leader of the Koopa Troop.

The problem is that he treats Bowser Jr. identically as he treats, say, Wario.

 

[MnSG]

The problem is that he treats Bowser Jr. identically as he treats, say, Wario.

Hence the term, not holding back. If Bowser is willing to punish his son, Bowser Jr. needs to have the guts to take it, and then retaliate.

 

[Ray Trace]

...that's still not good enough for me. I mean, Bowser clearly said, "Isn't it nice to be treated equally? I have no favorites" or something like that

 

[Vommack]

I guess he treats the Koopalings equally offscreen.

Amusingly, Bowser did just that to Shy Guy and Magikoopa in Mario Party 9, despite the fact that they're actually working for him.

 

[Ray Trace]

Shy Guy is a bit more debatable...really. Just look at Mario Party 4.

Kamek is an inclusion I'm STILL questioning

It's the same as MP5's roster, but replace Bowser Jr. with Koopa Kid.

There's something wrong with a roster when a game looks at Mario Party 5 for cues instead of Mario Party 6 or Mario Party 7.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

It's also slightly bigger than Mario Party DS's roster.

 

[Vommack]

It's also smaller than Mario Party 7's roster by an equal amount.

 

[Shy Guy Forever]

Maybe he just likes to beat up people, no matter who they are.

 

[Cirdec]

It's Mario Party so eh, we might get only two new characters. Rosalina being probably the first one.

 

[Shy Guy Forever]

And the second probably being Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach.

 

[Vommack]

NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! PLEASE!

 

[Shy Guy Forever]

Pink Gold Peach joins Mario Party 10!

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! PLEASE!

Metal Mario is amazing, though.

 

[Vommack]

NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! PLEASE!

Metal Mario is amazing, though.

Eh, Metal Mario is pretty decent even on his worst day.
I refuse to mention that...abomination.
