NDcube has not yet been confirmed as the developer of this title. They probably are doing it, but it shouldn't be here if it isn't confirmed. --LukeWarnut, 18 June 2024

Playable Chargin'-Chuck?
So apparently in this screenshot, Chargin'-Chuck appears to have the username "Danny" above his head, and usually, characters who have usernames above them means they're playable characters
Now, just to throw that out there, this isn't me saying Chargin'-Chuck is 100% confirmed to be a playable character, but by the looks of this screenshot, it looks like he might (emphasis on "might") be playable. Defefefe (talk) 7:44, June 19, 2024 (EST)
- On the left, Danny's username corresponds to Daisy ... so either they, for some inexplicable reason, are using Daisy's graphics as a placeholder for Chargin' Chuck, there's some sort of optical illusion going on and Daisy actually is hidden behind him somewhere, there's some function in this minigame where you can transform into a Chargin' Chuck, or a secret fourth option. Regardless, definitely too unclear to say anything about it on the page. 73.171.104.211 08:46, June 19, 2024 (EDT)
- That Chargin' Chuck looks kinda big there, possibly TOO BIG to be playable. We should wait before we make any decisions, but Chargin' Chuck IS playable in Mario Kart Tour, so I wouldn't be too shocked considering he already has a voice from there. BiggestMan

- Keep in mind that in Super Mario Party, bigger playable characters (such as Bowser) get scaled down in certain minigames to keep things fair for everyone, such as Gridiron Gauntlet (which funnily enough features Chargin' Chucks), in which a large character would normally be at a disadvantage. The Chargin' Chuck in this Jamboree screenshot actually looks not only bigger than the playable characters, but bigger than Chargin' Chucks normally are as well, so that makes me think this one kinda has to be sn obstacle instead, much like the larger-scaled obstacles in Mario Kart as of MK7.

Playable Boom Boom and Lakitu???
In the trailer, there was shown a picture, where we could see boom boom and lakitu on the beach. We can't be sure either they are playable or not, but it could be simillar with Pom Pom's case in Super Mario Party's Challenge Road.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tommy Fun Tube (talk).
- There's no indication that they will be playable, so let's not add any speculation to the page. Also, sign your comments using ~~~~ MarioComix (talk) 05:56, June 27, 2024 (EDT)
- It does seem equally speculative to say they are definitively non-playable, especially when we know some characters (i.e., Bowser) will be both. I feel like we need an "unknown" section for Boom Boom, Lakitu, and Chargin' Chuck. 73.171.104.211 09:16, June 28, 2024 (EDT)
- Uh, that's not how it works. We've been given evidence that Bowser has both playable and non-playable roles. We've also been given evidence that these other characters will appear in the game, but as we currently know 21 playable characters, and they have not been seen in a playable capacity, let's just go with the simplest answer first and label them as NPCs. If any evidence comes up that implies they will be playable but it's not clear, then we can add an "Unknown" section. For example, if it's this screenshot but Boom Boom instead of Peach, we can add him into "Unknown" since we don't know if the escorted character actually does anything gameplay-wise. Besides, if that's how it worked, we'd include every character seen in the game as "Unknown" since any of them could be both playable and non-playable. So let's just stick to the simplest explanation first. MarioComix (talk) 01:36, June 29, 2024 (EDT)
- Except we haven't seen them in definitively non-playable roles. Boom Boom and Lakitu maybe "standing on a beach waving" counts as definitely non-playable, but Chargin' Chuck in particular was spotted in a screenshot where a player name is seemingly attached to him (see conversation above). It's not enough to say he's playable, but it sure looks like he could be. That's unknown if I've ever seen it. 73.171.104.211 10:45, June 29, 2024 (EDT)
- We still can't discount the fact that the player name, which is attached to Daisy as seen on the player listing, could just be for Daisy standing behind Chargin' Chuck. I think it's too speculative to presume Chargin' Chuck is playable from that screenshot alone since we also see other enemy characters (Ty-Foos) during the Bowser minigame. Also notice how Chargin' Chuck is facing the other playable characters, while all the playable characters are facing Bowser - it implies Chargin' Chuck will be an obstacle against the players, just like Bowser. Now, if Chargin' Chuck were facing the other way and it was less ambiguous that there could be Daisy standing behind him, it would be more possible to be a power-up form for Daisy in this minigame. But at this point, we'd be adding in our own speculation, that is, there are more than 21 playable characters, so the simplest answer is to rule out Chargin' Chuck until more information implies he's playable. MarioComix (talk) 19:18, June 29, 2024 (EDT)
- Guys, this screenshot shows the name "Sacha" nearby that Ty-foo in the distance! That means Ty-foo HAS to be playable!!1!!1
...Obviously, I'm being sarcastic, but ironically, the name "Sacha" doesn't appear to be linked to another character, thus has one less debunk on its name than the Chargin' Chuck screenshot. Ironically-ironically, however, the same screenshot shows a second Ty-foo as well, so... rend (talk) (edits) 21:24, June 29, 2024 (EDT)
- Connecting back to the Chargin' Chuck screenshot, that one shows "Sacha" linked to Yoshi. Though we don't know exactly why the names don't all appear on the list there, but perhaps it's linked to the number next to the bomb icon (like, Yoshi didn't use a cannon yet).
