“I'm Brighton, the incandescent dude of the daytime!”

—Brighton, Mario Party 6

Brighton is one of the two hosts in Mario Party 6. He appears like a sun and revolves around Mario Party World with the other host, Twila. As well as controlling the skies of Mario Party World, Brighton uses various magic powers such as flying, teleporting, creating portals, and causing other characters to fly (such as determining the winners in the end of a match in party mode). Brighton's style of speech is more hip, casual, and upbeat, with slang and contractions. For instance, when he asks dueling players whom to duel, he asks, "Who do you wanna challenge to a duel?" followed up with "Whatcha want from 'em if you win?" after the player picks an opponent.

In the plot for Mario Party 6, Brighton starts a fight with Twila by asking her, "Who's more impressive? You or me?" to which she announces she is "more dazzling." He disagrees angrily, referring to himself as "cooler" than Twila, and their conflict sets the plot of the game in motion. Due to the conflict, Brighton and Twila often switch as hosts. He and Twila host Party Mode and Star Bank, but he exclusively hosts Solo Mode and Mic Mode. In modes when both are hosting and finish their explanations, they side-eye each other before separating. During Party Mode, Brighton controls the board for three turns and switches off with Twila after the three turns are up. However, in Clockwork Castle, a player who lands on the Green Space at the top of the board has a 50/50 chance to change day to night instantly.

Once all pages in the Miracle Book are bought, Brighton and Twila see how much work everyone has done to fill the Star Bank. They both make up and promise to get along. As an award for everyone's hard work, Brighton and Twila scatter the Stars across the sky, being seen miles away. Thus, Brighton ends his feud with Twila.

Brighton appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker that can be used by any character. His sticker is small, taking less space to equip, and he grants a small boost to the strength of the player's shield.
