Playable Characters

[SuperZambezi]

I think it's safe to assume that the normal characters will be playable in modes outside of Toad Scramble. That said, who do you think will be part of the roster?

If you want to avoid having duplicate characters, you'll need at least 16 different chracters. So far we've seen:

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Yoshi
Wario
Donkey Kong
Daisy
Waluigi (mentioned on Treehouse Live)
Rosalina
Toadette (confirmed through fact sheet)

From there we also have the following characters through amiibo:

Toad
Boo
Diddy Kong
Bowser

Toad will likely be playable in the other modes but not Toad Scramble, so let's assume he doesn't count in the 16. Bowser is a boss, so let's rule him out as well. With that, we have four more characters that haven't been revealed.

The next group of characters were all playable at one point in the Nd Cube games. Kamek is a boss and Bowser Jr. will likely have a different role, so my guess is that Birdo, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, and Spike are the last four characters.

Birdo
Koopa Troopa
Shy Guy
Kamek
Bowser Jr.
Spike

I think the 4 last characters will be , and 2 newcomers, since they usually add 2 newcomers in the main series lately (MP 7, 8, and 10 all added 2 new characters, 9 added 3 new).
In handheld MP games, there are rarely any newcomers (only in IT), but this game needs a lot of playable characters because of Toad Scramble.
So for the new playable characters, personally, and Luma would be nice. I guess Baby Mario is a possibility, although he usually appears with another baby.

Knowing Nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised if the newcomers are a Sprixie Princess and a random enemy like Monty Mole lol.

I think the four unannounced characters will likely be Birdo, Shy Guy, Dry Bones and Nabbit.

I think the 2 newcomers are Nabbit and Sprixe   (I'd love Luma too but Nintendo and their random choices lately confuse my mind LOL)

[RobinFTW]

Yeah Nabbit makes more sense than Monty Mole (I forgot him lol)

[Colyton]

I think it's obvious:
Metal Mario
Pink Gold Peach
Silver Green Luigi
Blue Diamond Rosalina


In all seriousness, I would love to see Dry Bones come back... and I'm pretty sure Boo is a given.

[Vipsoccermaster]

Yeah, since Boo has an amiibo, it's likely Boo will be playable. That being said, I hope that means Diddy Kong is also playable.

Also, there's evidence to support the fact Boo may as well be playable. In the boss with King Boo, notice King Boo's underlings are Peepas instead of Boos.

Bowser Jr
Diddy Kong
Toadworth
Dry Bones

Since Alt as Toad have their basic alt colors- Blue, Green, and Yellow.

Would it be possible if Metal Mario or Fire Mario as Mario's alt? I do want costumes / power-up feature from Mario Party 2 return.

I've been wanting costumes for each characters since MP10's reveal LOL

[T367r4guj53iocioerj]

I think the last character are and I hope they it
Birdo
Dry Bones
Hammer Bro
Blooper
I don't care if they are bosses they can work this out all the good characters are the baddies

[RafalRib]

I think the last character are and I hope they it
Birdo
Dry Bones
Hammer Bro
Blooper

Regarding Dry Bones, having an artwork at the same time as 2 bosses might make him also a unconfirmed boss
Hammer Bro and Blooper can be playable IF, Sledge Bro (any other Bro) and Gooper Blooper are Bosses

[T367r4guj53iocioerj]

Yeah but I think Birdo is the most likely to be playable
I just hope those others are playable

[Brookelas]

Ohhhh Sprixie is a good choice too! I'd like a Wave 3 of Mario amiibo too with Toadette, Nabbit, Dry Bones, Birdo, Sprixie and Bowser Jr (not in his clown car)

[PartyStar]

To me I think Nintendo will include  and maybe even and or instead of those two they could include  and
Usually Nintendo at least adds two new characters to the party so since Diddy Kong is one I think the other may be Nabbit or Sprixie Fairy.

P.S. Though I REALLY want Luma. :3

[Mariokirby101]

Most likely they'll have an amiibo for every playable in this. Boo and Diddy are basically confirmed even though no appearances in gameplay.
I'd love for Hammer Bro. and Dry Bones to come back, but I don't think Dry Bones will happen because of the fact that he's probably a boss given his artwork.
EDIT: I don't think they're gonna bring Hammer Bro. back, but...
