'''Tumble''' is the character that replaces [[Toad]] as the host of minigames in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. His appearance is actually very similar to that of a Toad, but he wears gloves and has a die on his head instead of a mushroom cap. He also happens to have no arms, legs, or even a body.
In gameplay of ''Mario Party 3'', in addition to explaining [[minigame]]s and controls and getting a Battle Royal or Duel Board started, Tumble also reveals the new location of the Millennium Star each time it is moved. He (along with the fake Millennium Star himself) also gives out [[Star Stamp]]s whenever a player has won at a [[board (Mario Party series)|board]]. At the end of the game, the top of Tumble's dice cap opens to reveal the real Millennium Star.

Tumble reappears as the host of the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He is also said to be one of Shroom City's guides; he kept this role by the end of the game (which describes him as a "beloved Shroom guide"). Tumble can appear when a player lands on a [[Mushroom Space]], and he gives the player two mushrooms if they win the minigame.

He is also said to be one of Shroom City's guides; he kept this role by the end of the game (which describes him as a "beloved Shroom guide"). Tumble actually did little other than the average host-type things in ''Mario Party Advance''; other than this, though, he can be summoned by landing on a [[Mushroom Space]], which will randomly trigger an appearance of either him or [[Koopa Kid]]. Tumble's Mushroom Space-related role shows him to be much more merciful than Koopa Kid, who will take a [[Mushroom]] away if a minigame is lost and will give the player one if it's won. He will give the player two Mushrooms if they win and none if the player loses.

*Tumble's association with [[Dice Block|dice]], is furthered by the fact that the word "tumble" is often used to refer to moving [[Dice Block|dice]].
*Tumble's expression changes whenever the star moves in ''Mario Party 3''.
*Despite Tumble's vitality to ''Mario Party Advance'', that game's manual gives no mention of him (although he does appear in one of its screenshots).

—Tumble, Mario Party 3

Tumble is a character in Mario Party 3. He is a "magical die" that the fake Millennium Star brought to life,[1] replacing Toad as the guide of the game. He is stout, wears white gloves and red shoes, and has a die on his head, as well as having only hands and feet. His named is derived from how dice tumble after being tossed.

In gameplay of Mario Party 3, in addition to explaining minigames and controls and getting a Battle Royal or Duel Board started, Tumble also reveals the new location of the Millennium Star each time it is moved. He (along with the fake Millennium Star himself) also gives out Star Stamps whenever a player has won at a board. At the end of the game, the top of Tumble's dice cap opens to reveal the real Millennium Star.

Tumble reappears as the host of the Shroom City mode in Mario Party Advance. He is also said to be one of Shroom City's guides; he kept this role by the end of the game (which describes him as a "beloved Shroom guide"). Tumble can appear when a player lands on a Mushroom Space, and he gives the player two mushrooms if they win the minigame.
