Quick notes

Twelve characters are initially selectable. Mario through Dry Bones form the starting board roster.
The defeated secret rival is the reward. Complete the full arena run, including the final Bowser minigame, to unlock the secret character you faced on Warped Orbit.
Miis belong to the Extras Zone. They do not replace the ordinary board roster in Party Tent.
DK and Bowser are event characters. Donkey Kong helps through DK spaces and Bowser disrupts through Bowser spaces.
