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").
