“I'm Twila, the dazzling dame of the night!”

—Twila, Mario Party 6

Twila is one of the two hosts in Mario Party 6. Twila's name is a pun on "twilight," owing to her connection with the moon. She is good friends with Brighton, the other host. They both watch over Mario Party World and host parties on behalf of Mario and friends. As opposed to Brighton, Twila talks more formally, often referring to players as "dear," and even refers to Brighton as a "loudmouth." The German localization swaps the genders of Twila and Brighton to male and female, respectively, since the German language uses feminine pronouns for the sun. In the Japanese version, Brighton and Twila have voice clips.

In the opening, which tells the story of the game via the scrapbook aesthetic of the Miracle Book, Twila and Brighton are represented by their heads. Brighton then asks Twila who is more impressive of the two, which erupts into an argument, causing the day and night cycle to fall into disarray. The discord motivates Mario and company to fill the Star Bank with as many Stars as possible in the hopes of ending their fight. Hints of rivalry can be seen in-game, where if the player selects modes that Twila hosts in (Mini-game Mode, Options Mode, and the quiz game Speak Up), she claps while Brighton gets disappointed, and in both Party Mode and the Star Bank, where they are both hosts, they side-eye each other before moving away from each other.

During board gameplay, Twila controls the board for three turns, turning it from day to night, and switches off with Brighton after the three turns are up, although in Clockwork Castle, a player who lands on the Green Space at the top of the board has a 50/50 chance to change night to day instantly. In Faire Square, she also changes how much Stars are worth, and sometimes she makes new paths open or closes paths.

Stars attained are stored at the Star Bank, which can be used to purchase pages from the Miracle Book, and 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.

Twila is a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, like Brighton. Her sticker reduces the dizzy duration by 46.
