List of puppets
- Cat Mario is one of the host in this show. This show reveals his several personal lifes (see the #Trivia section), and sometimes he will take a role like a boke performer in Japanese cont, which is reflected in a performer's tendency for misinterpretation and forgetfulness (e.g. for Cat Mario's case, he misinterpret the word "girly" as "gari", a type of pickled ginger in the Japanese cuisine). Every year he heads to Los Angeles, USA to report the informations by Nintendo in Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), but he also seems to be forgots about souvenirs for Cat Peach every time.
- Cat Peach is the another host of the show. One of this show's running gag is whenever something particularly amazing or surprising happens, she often say "unbelievable!". Sometimes she will take a role like a tsukkomi performer in Japanese cont, which is reflected in generally rail at the boke for their mistakes and exaggerations, as opposed to be Cat Mario's boke.
- Starting with episode 20, Captain Toad appears sometimes as an assistant for Cat Mario and Cat Peach. Unlike the other puppets, he doesn't have full sentences.
- This show gets "interrupted" by Bowser sometimes. Bowser will be talking about the enemies and traps from centein games, or something that would be beat Mario in centein games like Super Mario Maker, but they getting failed by an accident or unexpected effects/gimmicks. He also "interrupts" the show for advertising something related to Bowser in centein games, for example, in episode 13, Bowser shows T-shirt of himself in original Super Mario Bros. for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and in episode 14, he make a presentation about Mario Party 10, with showing clips of Bowser Party mode as a highlight.
- In some episodes with The Legend of Zelda series-related segments, Link appears as a host. Despite he is referred as simply "Link", his physical appearances are hugely resemble Toon Link. In this show, he speaks with a verbal tic "deyaa", like Cat Mario and Peach speaks with "nya".
