First appearance Mario Party 3 (2000)

Belltop is a character in Mario Party 3. His name is a pun on "bellhop." He is a magical bell who bears the semblance of a windup Toad. Belltop was brought to life by the faux Millennium Star's magic. He inhabits all of the Duel Boards and doles out coins to the players skilled enough to deserve them. Whenever a player passes Belltop, he starts counting down from five to zero. Every time a player passes him, the number decreases to a lower number. Once Belltop's hat reaches zero, he bangs his head with drumsticks and blows the whistle to signify the beginning of a Duel minigame. Once the Duel minigame is complete, his head returns to five. He always carries a whistle in his mouth and blows it to stir up attentiveness.
