'''Steamer''' is a steam locomotive found only in some of the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series games. It speaks with a [[Wikipedia:Southern American English|U.S. Southern accent]], particularly that of a precious metals prospector, and is usually seen lugging a small wooden train car behind it on which characters can stand as it moves about. It also has a lamp on the top of its "face," a red "nose" where a unit number would appear on a normal steam-powered train, and a thick gray mustache with matching eyebrows (while not having visible eyes), giving it the appearance of an elderly person. It is the main attraction in [[Western Land]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', where it makes its debut. The characters can ride Steamer by hitting a block. If the character hits the block and gets a [[Toad]], Steamer goes forward, but if a [[Goomba]] appears, Steamer goes backward. Riding Steamer allows characters to move farther than they normally could with hitting the [[Dice Block]]. Characters who are on the track and get hit by Steamer will be sent back to the start of the map. Since Mario Party 2, Steamer has been associated with ramming into characters and sending them flying. When on the move, Steamer makes a sound resembling that of the high-pitched train whistle and steam shoots from its sides.
'''Steamer''' is a character in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. He is a steam locomotive with a {{wp|Southern American English}} accent who usually as a train car attached for players to stand on. Steamer's face has a thick gray mustache, a red nose, thick gray eyebrows, and light on top. Steamer first appears in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.


Steamer makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' in the Duel [[minigame]] [[End of the Line]]. In this minigame, the players get knocked onto its trailing car and must guide it through three pairs of tunnels to safely make it to the station, where one tunnel leads them off a cliff and the other keeps them on the track.
==History==
===''Mario Party 2''===
Steamer takes the player between train stations on [[Western Land]] in ''Mario Party 2'', if the player pays five [[coin]]s, by going forward or backward if the player gets a [[Toad]] or a [[Goomba]], respectively. Any players in the way of Steamer are launched back to the start.<ref>{{cite|date=2000|title=''Mario Party 2'' instruction booklet|page=20|quote=Get Steamer, the steam engine that circles the map, to knock your opponents off their spaces and send them back to Start.|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>


Steamer makes another, minor cameo on the ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' board [[Toad's Midway Madness]], where it moves around the train tracks in the background.
===''Mario Party 3''===
Steamer is featured in the minigame [[End of the Line]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', where both players race on Steamer to the train station through three sets of tunnels.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:01|url=youtu.be/9gr_r0vlCnE?feature=shared&t=1|title=''Mario Party 3'' - End of the Line|publisher=YouTube|date=September 26, 2016|author=NintendoMovies}}</ref>


In ''[[Mario Party 5]]''{{'}}s Super Duel Mode, the player can assemble a machine that heavily resembles Steamer by combining the Choo-Choo Body, Choo-Choo Tires, and Choo-Choo engine. These parts together provide high speed and very poor control, stats which are consistent with Steamer's behavior in the other ''Mario Party'' games.
===''Mario Party 4''===
Steamer moves around the train tracks in the background of [[Toad's Midway Madness]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''.


In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', a toy Steamer makes an appearance in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Track Star (minigame)|Track Star]]. One player stands on the toy train, and the rest stand on the rails and try to escape it. This is the last known appearance of Steamer, which is coincidentally the last Mario Party game on which [[Hudson Soft]] was a developer before their dissolution.
===''Mario Party 5''===
The Choo-Choo Body, Choo-Choo Tires, and Choo-Choo engine in the [[Super Duel Mode]] of ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' all form a vehicle resembling Streamer.
 
===''Mario Party DS''===
The [[Track Star (minigame)|Track Star]] minigame of ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' involves the player riding a toy Steamer, generally titled a "train,"<ref>{{cite|quote=Nudge your three opponents with your train by picking a path, then pressing {{button|ds|A}} repeatedly to outrun them.|author=Rules|date=2007|title=''Mario Party DS''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> while the team players run away.
 
===''Super Mario Party Jamboree''===
Steamer retains his role in Western Land of ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', although he functions differently. The board now has the exclusive [[Steamer Ticket]], which a player can use at a station to have Steamer arrive instantly. The player can pay either three coins to move one station ahead or six for two stations, and going forward and backward is now determined by a green arrow and a red reverse arrow on the block, respectively. Steamer also has a few voice clips, not just whistling train sounds.


Western Land is set to return in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', and a train can be seen parked at the station closest to the starting position. However, it is unknown if this is Steamer or a generic train.
