Talk:Mario Party 9

Bowser Jr. Playable Status
I don't think it's confirmed he is playable. In the pipe game he could have been an NPC enemy. And in the propeller game, he's in the Koopa Clown Car unlike all the others, which to me implies he's some sort of boss. - 14:43, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

Yeah that's what I think too. He's probably going to maintain some nsmb like role where he interrupts the minigames. I mean he seems to either be running away or performing a boss fight. I think we should list him in a Boss/Playable? Characters sections. Propeller Toad
 * Now that I look at this image, I have to agree that Junior is not playable. (Or at least not officially announced.) 19:43, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

???
Why was this not mentioned at the press conference? I'd heard nothing of it until logging on here a while ago.

Characters
Wait a moment,,, if Dry Bones and Toad are playable characters,so that means Birdo and Toadette are playable too!. ^^


 * No... but they prolly will be

I guess we have to wait! ^,^


 * One things for sure, Blooper's not coming back. -_- DK Fan


 * Thats weird cause theres a Blooper in one of the Screenshots

I'm afraid Dry Bones is not playable, because you can clearly see there are 5 characters at the same time! (Peach, Mario, Yoshi, Wario and Dry Bones.
 * Possibly a supporting character in minigames, like Penguins. 16:54, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Or he could be playable in a story mini game where mario is the boss

Hmm I don't think so, you can see more than one DryBones on the background
 * Yes, there is broken Dry Bones on the side. 18:47, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Maybe they are trying to head back to the more-than-four-players concept from Mario Party 7. DK Fan

Until there is an official source and more info is given, Dry Bones is not a playable character. 19:39, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

:O
noooo!! i dont think boo is in it anymore!! he was my favorite character!!


 * I liked Boo too. :(. But not everything has been announced so there is a possibility.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii but party style
When I saw the trailer there were so many things New Super Mario Bros. Wii styled like at one part Luigi threw a shell at Goombas and in the Background there was a fortress on a hill like the one in the 1st world of NSMBW. Is this going to me like a NSMBW party game just with a different name?
 * No, it's just the style of the board. The game also has other elements like from Super Mario Galaxy 2. --Mechawave 15:26, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

5 player Minigame?
I saw a 5 player minigame.Maybe it has WiiU exclusive content?
 * Either that, or Dry Bones is not a playable character anymore. -_- DK Fan
 * No I don't think there are 5 player mini-games - one of the players must be an enemy.
 * In that minigame with the Dry bones the one standing didn't have glowing pupils so maybe it is an enemy of some sort.
 * Can you people seriously look at the image and apply common sense? This game is not related to the Wii U in any way, nor has 5 player minigames. Dry Bones is not returning as a character this time around, and those Dry Bones are there to make sure the players avoiding the one in the copter also avoid the Dry Bones. --Mechawave 15:25, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
