'''MC Ballyhoo''' is a major character from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', in which he hosts the various game modes as the self-proclaimed "master of catastrophes." He and his hat, [[Big Top]], are the driving force behind the annual [[Star Carnival]], hosting all of the attractions. While MC Ballyhoo is very extravagant and energetic in both speech and manner, Big Top is much calmer. Although the two rarely separate, they are separate entities capable of independent thought and action. | '''MC Ballyhoo''' is a major character from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', in which he hosts the various game modes as the self-proclaimed "master of catastrophes."

MC Ballyhoo is the only known member of an unnamed humanoid species. He has teal skin, large orange lips, and small yellow eyes. His bottom row of teeth is never seen, but he does have a large hot pink tongue. Without Big Top, he is a little taller than the average [[Toad (species)|Toad]] and is dwarfed by most humans. His legs are much shorter and smaller in comparison to his large, lanky arms. He has no visible toes; rather, his feet appear similar to shoes. The top of MC Ballyhoo's head is pointed, and his head appears to be black-and-teal-striped. However, this feature is usually hidden by Big Top. | MC Ballyhoo is the only known member of an unnamed humanoid species. He has teal skin, large orange lips, and small yellow eyes.

MC Ballyhoo wears a magenta suit and pink cufflinks with gold-colored trim and buttons. He also sports a prominent red bowtie. MC Ballyhoo wears white gloves on his five-fingered hands. His suit wraps around his underside like the pants of a Toad, but he wears neither traditional pants nor shoes. MC Ballyhoo is never seen without his microphone or Big Top. Although the mic does not appear to be connected to a speaker, it seems to be effective for amplifying the voices of both Big Top and MC Ballyhoo. When activated, Big Top's propeller allows MC Ballyhoo to hover in midair with MC Ballyhoo somehow attached, despite Big Top jumping seemingly unattached otherwise. | MC Ballyhoo wears a magenta suit and pink cufflinks with gold-colored trim and buttons.

== | MC Ballyhoo is highly energetic, often flailing around with excitement. He even goes so far as to characterize his excitement for the Star Carnival's events as madness. He speaks with satirical, ringmaster phrasing while introducing the various events at his carnival. He is always happy for the winning players yet sad for the losers. This makes it seem as though he values fairness. | ||
