'''Steamer''' is a steam locomotive found only in some of the games of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. It speaks with a {{wp|Southern American English}} 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 are 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 a high-pitched train whistle and steam shoots from its sides.

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.

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.

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 that are consistent with Steamer's behavior in the other ''Mario Party'' games.

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.

Steamer also has a few voice clips, not just whistling train sounds.
