Editing Taunt

{{Rewrite-expand|list taunts from the Mario Party series and Mario Golf 64|May 20, 2021}}
[[File:Toadstool Tour Taunts.png|thumb||250px|Taunts in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.]]
'''Taunt''' is a move used in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'', and ''[[Mario Tennis (series)|Mario Tennis]]'' series, and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. They typically do not have direct gameplay impact, but serve to annoy or cheer on the players. In the ''Mario Party'' series, each character has a taunt &ndash; however, in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party 7|7]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 8|8]]'', it is unlockable. In the ''Mario Golf'' series, when an opponent is about to hit a ball, the player can taunt the opponent &ndash; though this also has no in-game effect. If one human player is playing against another human, the taunt may distract the other player. The player can also cheer for the opponents in the ''Mario Golf'' series.

==''Mario Party'' series==

===''Mario Party 6''===
In ''Mario Party 6'', the taunts for  each character can be bought individually with [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] at the [[Star Bank]]. Pressing the {{button|gcn|L}} button on the GameCube Controller causes the player's character to taunt during Party Mode. The voice clips heard vary by character.

===''Mario Party 7''===
In ''Mario Party 7'', there is an unlockable feature known as "'''Annoy Mode'''", which causes the player's character to taunt during Party Mode when they press the {{button|gcn|L}} button on the GameCube Controller. The voice clips heard vary by character, and most of them are reused from ''Mario Party 6''. To unlock it, the player must purchase it for 500 Cruise Mileage Points at the [[Duty-Free Shop]].

===''Mario Party 8''===
In ''Mario Party 8'', there is an unlockable feature known as "'''Heckling Voices'''", which causes the player's character to taunt during Party Mode when they shake the [[Wii Remote]]. The voice clips heard vary by character, but each character has two voice clips. One voice clip known as "Boo" can be heard in the Carnival Calliope Character Voices. Heckling Voices costs fifty [[Carnival Card]]s at the [[Fun Bazaar]].

==List of taunts by ''Super Mario'' franchise characters in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series==
[[File:BowserPeachMario.jpg|thumb|[[Princess Peach|Peach]] executing a taunt in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
===[[Mario]]===
*All installments prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'': A reference to his stance in ''Super Mario Bros.'' He grows two times his size (while the [[Mushroom]] sound effect plays) for a brief moment, then shrinks to normal (while the shrinking sound effect plays). 
**In ''Ultimate'': His ''Super Mario Bros.'' taunt is replaced by him making a thumbs-up gesture with a sound effect. Resembles a [[Club Nintendo]] [[:File:Mario thumbs-up.png|artwork]].
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':
**Tips his hat in a similar fashion when he clears a level in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
**Since ''Brawl'': He spins and falls, a reference to his defeat animation from the original arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The animation is faster in ''Ultimate''.

===[[Donkey Kong]]===
*All installments: Donkey Kong looks to the camera, shrugging his shoulders and letting out a grunt.
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':
**He rapidly pounds his chest with his fists. This taunt is faster in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
**He shakes his fur, as if he was wet. This taunt is faster in ''Ultimate''.

===[[Yoshi]]===
*All games: Yoshi waves his arms and shouts, "Yoshi!" 
*Since ''Brawl'':
**A dance that ends with "Yoshi!" The taunt is slightly shorter in ''Ultimate''.
**He chases his tail.

===[[Luigi]]===
*All games: Luigi looks downwards with his hands behind his back, and kicks towards the floor. If a player is standing in front of Luigi during this process, the kick does 1% damage.
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':
**Strikes multiple stand-still poses: he shows two fingers, then he smiles while he is pointing, then he thinks with his finger under his nose, then he looks in a corner, then he takes fright.
**Belly flops onto the ground then bounces back to his feet. Similar to his victory pose from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

===[[Bowser]]===
*Since ''Melee'': Bowser roars, turning his head back, his claws extended.
*Since ''Brawl'':
**Bites 5 times. The taunt is faster in ''Ultimate''.
**Dances on one foot.

===[[Princess Peach|Peach]]=== 
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'': Winks and points to the camera, exclaiming, "Sweet!" Since ''Brawl'', the exclamation is changed to "Uh-huh!". In ''Ultimate'', the spinning animation has been removed, and it now has a heart effect.
*Since ''Brawl'':
**Takes her parasol out and spins it, saying "Sweet!"
**Dances in a taunting manner while holding her dress, singing "Lalalalala..." as she does this. This taunt is faster in ''Ultimate'', with the voice changed to fit the speed.

===[[Dr. Mario]]===
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'': Dr. Mario tosses a [[Capsule|Megavitamin]] of a random color, then grabs it in mid-air.
*Since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'':
**Grinds his shoe on the ground.
**Pats his shoulder.

===[[Wario]]===
Since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':
*He laughs, drops his jaw, then pushes it up.
*He shakes his rear at the camera, while making taunting sounds.
*He makes a "W" with both his hands multiple times, while saying syllables of his name. This taunt is faster in ''Ultimate''.
*Wario can also taunt on his [[Wario Bike|bike]], where he laughs with two hands outward in the "W" sign, then puts one down.

===[[Diddy Kong]]===
Since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':
*Throws his cap in the air and catches it with his head.
*Moves his hands forward and lets out a taunting noise. This taunt is shorter in ''Ultimate''.
*Dances around while clapping his hands.

===[[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]]===
Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'':
*Spins like a planet on its axis.
*Waves her wand up and down, saying "Mmm hmm!" while the Luma nods.
*Bends down and twirls her wand while coming up. The Luma spins and twirls in accordance. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Luma makes noise.

===[[Bowser Jr.]]/[[Koopalings]]===
Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'':
*Blows a fireball while laughing.
*Waves his hammer above his head. In ''Ultimate'', the Koopalings use their wands from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' instead of a hammer.
*Spins using the [[Junior Clown Car]]'s "kart mode."

===[[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'':
*Raises her fist while saying "Woohoo!" Resembles her [[:File:Daisy SSBUltimate.png|official artwork]].
*Twirls around, then performs a V sign while saying "Yeah!"
*Places her hands on her hips while uttering a grunt. Resembles her [[:File:Daisy MK7.png|artwork]] from ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

===[[King K. Rool]]===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'':
*Snarls four times in succession while facing the foreground.
*Taps his belly. Notably, this taunt triggers K. Rool's distinctive [[smashwiki:Belly Super Armor|super armor mechanic]] used by several of his attacks, such as his side tilt attack and neutral air attack.
*Puts his hands on his knees and sinisterly stomps with one foot.

===[[Piranha Plant]]===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'':
*Retracts into its pot/Warp Pipe before poking out. Reminiscent of how Piranha Plants behave in 2D platformers.
*Performs four empty bites in succession, grinning after the final one.
*Twirls.

===Smash Taunts===
[[File:SSBB Otacon.jpg|thumb|Snake and Otacon comment on Diddy Kong during a Smash Taunt in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
'''Smash Taunting''' is a taunt available only to [[Solid Snake|Snake]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], and the ''[[:Category:Star Fox series|Star Fox]]'' characters, triggering a conversation with the character's in-universe allies. To activate it, the player must execute a down taunt for one frame; however, the taunt only works on specific stages when the player is controlling a specific character.

All of these Smash Taunts cannot be performed while someone is in [[Final Smash]] standby, or someone has a fully assembled [[Dragoon]]/[[Daybreak]]. A conversation can also be interrupted if the aforementioned conditions are met while the conversation is active. Smash Taunts also cannot be performed at all on the [[Final Destination]] or [[Battlefield]] variant.

The below is a brief overview of taunts affecting various ''Super Mario'' fighters.

====Snake's Smash Taunt====
{{see also|List of Snake's codec conversations}}
The player must choose Snake and play [[Shadow Moses Island]]. Once in the stage, the player should do a split-second down taunt. Then, if he is not interrupted, he will establish communication with [[Roy Campbell]], [[Mei Ling]], or [[Otacon]], who begins talking about the fighters, with conversations about Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Bowser, Peach, Wario, and Diddy Kong included, similar to how players are able to obtain information during boss fights using the radio in the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series. If Snake is KO'd during a conversation, it will be cut short with the person on the other end shouting Snake's name, similar to the Game Over screens of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series. Characters that were not playable in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' do not have a codec conversation, so Dr. Mario, Rosalina, Bowser Jr., Daisy, Piranha Plant, and King K. Rool do not have these.

====Pit's Smash Taunt====
{{see also|List of Palutena's Guidance conversations}}
The player must choose [[Pit (character)|Pit]] and play as him in [[Palutena's Temple]]; here, Pit can call [[Palutena]] and [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] by using a Smash Taunt known as Palutena's Guidance. They talk about the characters who are fighting in the match, including Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Bowser, Peach, Wario, Diddy Kong, Dr. Mario, Rosalina, Bowser Jr., Daisy, King K. Rool, and Piranha Plant. If more than one opponent is in the match, the game will select one to talk about at random.
{{br}}

==''Mario Golf'' series==
===''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''===
Characters can taunt or cheer for the player in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' by using {{button|gcn|Stick}} for taunting and {{button|gcn|C}} for cheering; however, they must not be using the same controller. This does not directly affect gameplay, but the quotes on the screen and the voices can provide a distraction for the player.

<sub>*In the American English version of the game, Shadow Mario's dialogue is purely ellipses. In the European/Australian version, however, he is more articulate.</sub>

===''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''===
Just like its console counterpart, characters can taunt or cheer (called supports in this game) for players in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'' by using {{button|gba|Pad}} for taunting and {{button|gba|A}}, {{button|gba|B}}, {{button|gba|L}}, and {{button|gba|R}} for cheering. All characters except your main character will use their Birdie lines for their supports and use their bogey lines for their taunts. [[Mario]], [[Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Luigi]], [[Bowser]], [[Waluigi]], [[Wario]], [[Neil]], and [[Ella]] reuse their cheer and taunt lines from ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. In addition, players can customize the taunts for [[Neil]] or [[Ella]] by going to the Taunt and Support Editor in the Options mode.

==''Mario Tennis'' series==
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
[[File:MPT ItemBattle.JPG|thumb|[[Mario]] taunting.]]
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', the player can taunt by tapping "A" while the ball is on the other side of the court. These taunts lower the power gauge of the foe, making it harder for him or her to get a special attack.
