Mario Party DS: Characters
All eight playable characters are available from the start. Character choice does not change board movement or item rules.
Mario
The familiar red-capped hero joins the miniature party. Like every playable character, he competes for Stars and coins without unique board statistics.
Luigi
Mario’s green-clad brother is available from the start in Story Mode and multiplayer parties.
Peach
The Mushroom Kingdom’s princess joins the shrunken heroes. Choose her for board games, minigames and the solo story.
Daisy
Sarasaland’s princess is one of the eight starting characters, ready for the same boards and minigames as the rest of the cast.
Wario
The yellow-capped rival competes for the Superstar title. His large appearance does not give him a board-game advantage.
Waluigi
Wario’s lanky partner is available from the start and can pair with any other playable character in Tag Battle.
Yoshi
The friendly dinosaur joins the party as a playable competitor, with the same movement and item rules as everyone else.
Toad
A playable member of the adventure rather than the board host. Toad can tackle the full solo story or join a multiplayer match.
