Yeah, 14 in MP8 and 12 in MP9. At least it's an increase from 8 in MPDS.DJ Swangler said:
The 12th character revealed!! [Kamek]

They could've made an effort to add 2 characters. Hopefully, in general I'm satisfied.
@whoever said Kamek is a random addition: he has appeared quite a few times in the series so uh yeah.
Re more/less characters: reduxing rosters is something I openly welcome, I actually despise rosters blowing out of proportion. But point taken about effort.
@zack - good luck pitting your view against the official canon of Kamek ;p Also JPN doesn't genderbend male charas in English localisation into females (except Birdo lol)
And Kamek would probs be my third pick after SG amd Walui

I was surprised to hear Kamek as the 12th character. I'm not sure if I'll play as him, but there is a greater chance that I might.
So this pretty much means Kamek is not a boss character in any way.
And I noticed that Kamek is the only character who was a boss in Mario Party DS to be promoted to be playable in Mario Party 9.

Actually sometimes characters do get gender bent from their japanease version though not in American localizations. In Italy and France Petey is actually Female same for some others to.
Oh yeah, I was right since the start with the box-art! (Same for the last three Mario Party!) Kamek was in it, it is playable! I can't believe it!
Well, I guess it makes sense, considering that in Mario Party 7 Birdo and Dry Bones were on the box-art, and Toadette was on the box-art of Mario Party 6, and the newly playable characters Toad, Boo, and Koopa Kid made it onto Mario Party 5's box-art.
I'm guessing it's a tradition now. Whoever we see for Mario Party 10 box-art should be taken as, although it's not always 100% accurate.Mario_Comix said:
Thanks for giving away a spoiler to those who didn't want to know in the title! :-D
It's true that's kind of not good when someone want to try keeping them as a secret until the end, yeah, I can tell! *The suspense*^_^ But still, you know it now... anyways, it's so hard to resist over there people want to reveal it so hardly!
"I would like to announce, that Kamek will be featured as the 12th playable character in Mario Party 9! An honor which, was originally to be bestowed on Toadette, but now isn't."
To myself: Yay!
To myself: Yay!
But I still sense that Kamek will only be used by a CPU player during Story Mode.
If so, then the other article IS MESSED UP. I think the roster's incorrect. This is my 4th INTERNAL REPORT.

Well, I do think like some other Mario Party before that there were some characters that you couldn't use in the Story Mode, but you could in the others modes... but still, it will be hard to know if it's really true, it's still an hypothesis, until near the game release!
That's right, some characters appear in Story Mode as non-playable, such as Kamek. Is there a player ID on Kamek in that video? If not, the article is wrong. Some people think that Kamek is the 12th character, I don't think Kamek will be playable in the other modes. I consider, that Kamek is one of "Bowser's minions" during Story Mode. I don't know how to put this.Maxime said:
So, how do ya guys feel about Kamek being the last character for MP9? I knew it could be Kamek, but I thought sometimes it would be toadette. By the looks of this, if tag battle is back, but Toad and Koopa will be tag-team partners

Merged Topics B/C they both are pertaining to the same thing ------ Dark Boo

Somehow, this does not surprise me in the least. The moment someone suggested Kamek, i kind of got a feeling he was gonna be the one, like that sort of sixth sense that screams in your face "THIS IS SO HAPPENING" and then proceeds to dump spiders in your shoes to further get its point across.
And now that that confusing metaphor is out of the way, this tidbit makes me very happy for Kamek's future appearance. Ascended from a mere orb effect, to a boss, and now to a playable character! It'll be very satisfying to take up the helm of a dark koopa wizard who i've held a mild fascination with since when i first laid eyes on the Yoshi's Island series.

I'm very happy that Toadette's not appearing!! It's been 4 years now, so don't blow it up Nintendo!! (my demands) Kamek saved my life and business!
Now, there are three games that did not let Toadette return as a playable/non-playable character
*Mario Sports Mix (25th November 2010) - Removes the Mario Hoops 3-on-3 new characters and replaces them with Square Enix characters.
*Mario Kart 7 (1st December 2011) - 16 characters and introduces garbage-like newcomers such as Metal Mario and Honey Queen
*Mario Party 9 (2nd March 2012) - Concerns of Toadette joining is VERY HIGH (90%) but has gone down to ZERO, thanks to Kamek! (4th internal report)
Now, only one game will not likely have Toadette as a playable/non-playable character
*Mario Tennis Open (May 2012) - Toad has been removed from the character roster in Mario Power Tennis back in 2004.

Toadette was never a playable character in any of the Mario Tennis games, not even Mario Power Tennis. She did appear as a cameo, but that's it.Jimmy T. said:
Well still she will not return, along with Toad. I can prove it to all of you from Nintendo. And I did see her on a tournament board during the opening scenes. Toad and Toadette did not attend the tournament because Toadette is 'new' to the Mushroom Kingdom at the time, and Toad still had to show her around. She did not return as playable until Mario Party 6 a few months later.Vipsoccermaster said:
