Space for current project

Name	Description	Locations
Lakitu Bros.	A pair of cloud-riding Koopas that are documenting Mario's quest to liberate Mushroom Castle and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. One Lakitu Bro is with Mario throughout the entirety of the game, serving as an in-game explanation for the title's 3D camera controls. He is generally unseen, but his reflection can be spotted in a large mirror on the second floor of Mushroom Castle. They work for the organization Kingdom News Network.	All courses
Princess Peach	The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She invited Mario to Mushroom Castle for cake, but she is missing by the time he arrives. Toad informs him that she was kidnapped by Bowser and sealed away within the Castle's walls. The game follows Mario's quest to restore the Castle's Power Stars and liberate the princess.	Castle Grounds
Toad	One of Princess Peach's attendants and an old friend of Mario's. He is one of several Mushroom Retainers that have been trapped within the Castle. He appears in several locations within the Castle and will give Mario hints, tips, and words of encouragement when spoken to. Some Toads will give Mario a Power Star if prompted.	Mushroom Castle
Bob-omb Buddies	Friendly Bob-ombs that have no fuses. They reside in Bob-omb Battlefield, where they are at war with Big Bob-omb and his army. An individual Bob-omb Buddy is hidden away in nearly all subsequent courses. If spoken to, it will prepare a cannon for Mario to use. The cannon remains open and accessible for all subsequent revisits.

Koopa the Quick	A large Koopa Troopa from Tiny-Huge Island. He will challenge Mario to a footrace if spoken to and will award him a Power Star if beaten without using certain shortcuts. A regularly-sized enemy Koopa Troopa will appear in courses that feature Koopa the Quick after he is beaten, which suggests some sort of correlation between the two.	Bob-omb Battlefield Tiny-Huge Island
Hoot the Owl	A talking owl who roosts in a tree near Mario's starting position on Whomp's Fortress. Once woken up, Mario can grab onto Hoot's talons and be carried high into the air for a limited time. Hoot slowly descends while carrying Mario and will drop him if he hangs on for too long, citing his hefty weight.	Whomp's Fortress
Penguins	Big, talking birds found in courses that feature snow. They are instrumental in several Power Star missions. The Mother Penguin found at the base of Cool, Cool Mountain will award Mario a Power Star if her lost chick Tuxie is returned to her, while the Big Penguin found in the cabin at the top of the mountain will give him a Star if beaten in a race. Revisiting this penguin after collecting all 120 Power Stars reveals that he has let himself go. The extra weight makes him a tougher opponent to out-sleigh.	Cool, Cool Mountain Snowman's Land
Snowman (Cool, Cool Mountain)	A giant snowman. He is the focus of the mission "Snowman's Lost His Head". His head is on a pedestal halfway down the mountain, while his sentient snowball body appears towards the top, by Mario's starting position. Prompting either piece will ask Mario to help put him together. Once assembled, the snowman will gift Mario a Power Star.	Cool, Cool Mountain
MIPS	Princess Peach's pet rabbit. He is found in the Castle's basement and will flee if approached. He will give Mario a Power Star if caught. While captured, MIPS claims to be late for tea.	Mushroom Castle
Dorrie	A gentle giant that resembles a plesiosaur. It can be found swimming in an underground lake, where it can be ridden. Mario can steer its body while standing on its back and lower its neck by performing a Ground Pound on its head.	Hazy Maze Cave
Snowman (Snowman's Land)	An enormous snowman that can be climbed as if it were a mountain. Wooden platforms and slopes line his body, allowing Mario to ascend. Once he nears his head, the snowman will start to complain about an irritating crawling sensation on his body and will try to blow Mario off of him. A Power Star is one the very top of his head, and a deceptively-spacious igloo can be found on his lower body.	Snowman's Land
Ukkiki	A mischievous monkey who will steal Mario's cap and when grabbed. Mario must grab Ukkiki again in order to get it back, but the monkey will run away if approached and must be cornered. During "Mystery of the Monkey Cage", Ukkiki appears on the summit and will taunt Mario. If grabbed, he begs to be released in exchange for a Power Star.	Tall, Tall Mountain
Yoshi	An old friend of Mario's. He is a dinosaur-like creature with a long tongue. He can be found on the roof of Mushroom Castle once all 120 Power Star are collected. Yoshi will award the player with 99 extra lives and a special Triple Jump for fully completing the game. After which, he disappears off the side of the Castle.	Castle Grounds
