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.


 * I'm pretty sure it was.

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! ^,^

Actually you are wrong their. Just because Toad happens to be playable (this goes for Dry Bones too) doesn't mean that Toadette and Birdo are characters. They have not been seen in any photos or videos. However, you are most likley correct due to the fact that they have been in prevoius Mario games.-User:FireFlower


 * 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)

I will hope and wait that birdo,toadette and boo will be playables! 10/29/2011

: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.
 * Me three. Smariopaperfire.jpeg Superfiremario (talk) (contribs) Marioart3.png

Me 4!!!!

All four of you, read the bloomin' template at the top of the page.
 * Should I say me 5 or me 6? DK Fan

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)
 * Dry Bones isn't playable probably, as there is 2 Dry Bones' if your talking about this picture: File:MP9 10.png -- 21:08, 17 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Three*
 * Dry Bones are enemies. In a screenshot, there are three of them. 14:02, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Group art
Merged from this, this, this, this, and unknown artwork of Yoshi.
 * And the solo Mario artwork is Mario taken from that picture by himself. 10:52, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I know the release date.
Today, I went into gamestop, reserved mario party 9, and one of the staff said the game will come out January 3rd, 2012
 * This does not mean it's official. GameStop is notorious for giving out incorrect release dates. Also, there's no actual Internet source so it's automatically invalid. GameStop also does not say the release date itself on their website. --Mechawave 16:50, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

2 VS. 2 mini-games.
Does anyone think they will be returning? User:DK Fan
 * I don't see why not... they've been in every previous Mario Party.

Possible Content for Description
Shouldn't we add possible minigame descriptions or possible items?


 * If you are completely sure with what it is about and it is referenced, yes.
 * Not with out a source

Infer
Not much is known about the story, but from what I can infer the gang will battle Bowser Jr. throughout the game.KoopaMan

Mario Party tower
In the screenshot with the Bullet Bill mini-game, does anyone notice that the tower the players are on looks like the ones used in Mario Party?

I just relized somthing
Hudson Software developed the first Mario Party games, but NOT this one. --Mario240 15:17, 5 July 2011 (EDT)Mario240 Yeah. 15:32, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

Um, how do we know that this game is made by Nd Cube? The referenced page merely states that Nd Cube made Wii Party, it didn't even mention Mario Party 9. Isn't this just speculation?

Urchin?
I see an Urchin like thing in the Giant Blooper Image. Is it really an Urchin or not? 20:15, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

I think that's an Urchin. See Mario's face near it. Maybe be something to get points of the other. 14:05, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Nd Cube?
The referenced article for Nd Cube only states that they made Wii Party. It didn't even mention Mario Party 9, and thus this is only purely speculation.

Second trailer?
Does anybody know if a trailer for Mario Party 9 is gonna be releaed soon? Same applies for Luigi's Mansion 2 and Super Mario 3D Land.

2011?
On GameSpot it says Mario Party 9 will be relesed "TBA 2011". Is this true?
 * Most of the time, Gamespot puts in filler dates that are wrong, but TBA 2011 seems reasonable. --Reversinator 13:18, 5 September 2011 (EDT)
 * Then should I put Mario Party 9 in the 2011 section on the Games by Date page? SuperLuigiBros. 10:59, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

Playable characters
Is there any proof of these characters?(toadette toad birdo and the blue blooper)?, Donaldthescotishtwin
 * Yeah there has to be a source that proves this. Unless there's a source, that info is merely speculation.  18:50, 23 October 2011 (EDT)
 * I'll delete it. There's absolutely no source.

I truly know that Birdo,Toadette, the blue blooper and hammerbro. will be playables. !

Will some mario party characters will in this upcoming game?
Vote for how will be the one to be in mario party 9.
 * There's a place for discussions like that. It's at the Mario Wiki forums.  08:13, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

Characters, Minigames, and Boards
Is there proof about Hammer Bro., Birdo, and toadette? Also who said there would be 6 Boards and 92 Minigames?--MarioMaster2011 10:42, 23 November 2011 (EST)MarioMaster2011
