| 3 | The characters that aren't especially relevant to the overarching plot. It's not a mark of shame; many of these characters have had considerable focus and even arcs within their sections. But they ''do'' tend to be closed off to their particular sections, with their relevance beginning and ending with whatever insular subplot they take part in. |

| 15 | |
| 16 | The S.S. Drake's engineer. Dies after making one appearance in ''The Distant Planet'', having been consumed by the plasm. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * CowardlySidekick: In his one and only combat appearance in the entire CYOA, he's utterly useless. He actually lies down on the ground and gets in the fetal position in response to the Emperor Bulblax. |
| 21 | * KilledOffscreen: He's long been plasm-fied by the time you encounter him in ''Mother''. |
| 22 | * TheScrappy: WordOfGod says that he was only ever meant to be this. |

| 27 | |

| 29 | |
| 30 | A shrimpy mage that first appears in ''The Fates Are Terrible'' before eventually joining the party after fleeing Nohr in ''Super Olimar RPG: Legend of the Seven Star Spirits''. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | [[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_1_4092.jpg]] |

| 34 | |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * AlasPoorVillain: At the end of the day, Zola was simply trying to survive. The thought of death petrifies him. He defects to Ganondorf's side out of fear for his life, and is immediately put down by his former allies before he can even do any harm to them. The party ultimately pulls through and survives, which makes his defection all the more pointless and tragic. |
| 38 | * FriendlyGhost: In ''The Sage of Shadow''. |
| 39 | * ObviousJudas: Was anyone really surprised when he tried to switch allegiances to Ganondorf? |
| 40 | * TheWoobie: Somewhat. He ends up getting continually tortured in the afterlife by Leo as punishment for his betrayal. |

| 49 | [[caption-width-right:225: Colors weave into a spire of flame...]] |
| 50 | |
| 51 | A Smashville villager who manages to escape the plasm and find refuge in Hyrule, where she's become something of an aspiring diva. Dies in the Ridgeland section of ''Lost in Hyrule''. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * CrutchCharacter: Subverted. A voice recording of her singing ''Lifelight'' is incredibly powerful, until the recording device is destroyed, and when she returns her singing voice is no longer absolutely awful. |
| 56 | * FriendlyGhost: Her ghost is present in ''The Sage of Shadow'', spending her afterlife performing on the stage. |

| 67 | [[caption-width-right:350: Casting a spell or leading the Pikmin into battle? You decide.]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Bowser's right-hand man and a skilled wizard. He accompanies the Koopa King to The Distant Planet in order to acquire an army of Pikmin. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ---- |
| 72 | |
| 73 | * AffablyEvil: Has shades of this in that he's polite enough around most people, though he's not especially evil given his role in the CYOA. |
| 74 | * BeleagueredAssistant: He isn't treated especially well by Bowser or the Koopalings. |
| 75 | * CourtMage: He's Bowser's right-hand man and a powerful wizard. |
| 76 | * DeadpanSnarker: Pulls this from time to time. |
| 77 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted in that while he expresses disgust at Olimar for having gotten all of his Pikmin killed on his journey to Eggmanland, he claims it's the policy of the Koopa Troop to consider minions disposable and allows Olimar to continue taking as many Pikmin as he pleases. |
| 78 | * EvilCounterpart: To Toadsworth. |
| 79 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Bowser, and receives absolutely no thanks for it. |
| 80 | * ThoseTwoGuys: |
| 81 | ** As Bowser's right-hand man, the two exhibit this to some degree. Most notably, Bowser chose Kamek to accompany him to the Pikmin planet. Not only that, but Bowser is none too pleased when Kamek signs up to be a separate racer from him, assuming the Magikoopa would be his racing partner. |
| 82 | ** With racing partner Robin in ''The Sage of Fire''. |

| 89 | [[caption-width-right:253: She ain't all there anymore.]] |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Bowser's left-hand woman and a once-skilled witch. Bowser takes Kamek with him to The Distant Planet, leaving her behind with the group. Joins the party in ''Legend of the Seven Star Spirits''. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | |
| 95 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Largely averted, with her having received by far the least attention of any party member in ''The Sage of Fire''. It's possible that she never truly received any such limelight-soaked days, though her possession of Majora's Mask in earlier chapters at least gave her the illusion of plot relevancy. |
| 96 | * CoolOldLady: Partakes in a high-speed F-Zero race and does a decent job providing Bowser firepower. |
| 97 | * DemonicPossession: Downplayed. She ends up wearing Majora's Mask for some time, though she doesn't appear to be controlled by it so much as just being incapable of controlling its powers. |
| 98 | * OutOfFocus: Went from being the wearer of Majora's Mask to a complete footnote in the chapter that was supposed to give her some much-needed attention. |
| 99 | * PowersViaPossession: Is granted some sporadically by Majora's Mask. |
| 100 | * WitchClassic: She rides on a broom, has a pointed hat, is an old hag, waves a wand around... |

| 108 | |
| 109 | Peach's worrywart of a steward. He joins with the group in ''Legend of the Seven Star Spirits''. |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ---- |
| 112 | |
| 113 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Completely averted. Even in ''The Sage of Light'', probably his most significant outing, he's still far and away the least noteworthy party member. |
| 114 | * ClassyCane: A really nice mushroom-capped one which he uses to whack enemies and ? Blocks alike. |
| 115 | * GoodCounterpart: To Kamek. |
| 116 | * OldRetainer: Emphasis on old. |
| 117 | * OutOfFocus: Gets less attention than even most other tertiary characters. His screentime definitely peaked with his debut in the Mushroom Kingdom. |

| 122 | |

| 124 | [[caption-width-right:350: He's twice as badass as he looks. That's a whole lotta badass.]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | * TheAce: His proficiency in performing stealth missions is unparalleled. |
| 127 | * BeingGoodSucks: Devoted his life to dutifully serving his country, and was ultimately used as a pawn to kill his beloved mentor in a bid to make a fortune. He becomes disillusioned and ceases serving his nation afterwards. |
| 128 | * BreakTheCutie: The Snake of the CYOA is from sometime between ''Snake Eater'' and ''Peace Walker''. He's undergone terrible hardships and become disillusioned, but has yet to fall as far as he someday will. |
| 129 | * FireForgedFriend: Though initially prone to bickering and trying to outmatch each other, Snake and the Toad Guard eventually bond after fighting together and realizing how similar they are. |
| 130 | * Foil: |
| 131 | ** To Leaf, who is bubbly and insane in contrast to Snake's cynical and grounded personality. Further contrasting them is Leaf's status as a young girl with godlike powers, whereas Snake is a grizzled middle-aged man who looks down on magic and the supernatural. |
| 132 | ** Possibly with the Toad Guard, though the two are so similar that it may not qualify. Their main differences are their radically different appearances, and that the Toad Guard is somewhat more reckless and somewhat less competent. Perhaps the most compelling argument for their being foils for each other is the Toad Guard's preference for traditional, simple weapons like spears and bows, whereas Snake prefers much more modern weaponry. |
| 133 | * EyepatchOfPower: Lost an eye, yet it doesn't prevent him from being a great shot. |
| 134 | * TheRival: Very briefly with Phosphora at the beginning of ''The Sage of Forest'', with the two arguing over their opposing philosophies on how to approach dangerous situations, and even fighting over Leaf a little, with both trying to serve as a mentor figure to her. This changes very quickly once the party defeats Viridi's forces and Leaf acquires godlike powers, at which point Snake wants nothing to do with Leaf and Phosphora is too humbled to start anything with Snake. |
| 135 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With the Toad Guard, to an extent. |

| 142 | [[caption-width-right:180: She's not nearly as happy on the inside.]] |
| 143 | |
| 144 | The(former) Princess of Sarasaland who joins the party in ''Super Olimar RPG: Legend of the Seven Star Spirits''. She's known for her blunt and tomboyish demeanor, which is... putting it lightly. |
| 145 | |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | |
| 148 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 149 | ** Averted in ''Super Olimar RPG: Legend of the Seven Star Spirits'', where her section is cut completely short thanks to Kamek. |
| 150 | ** Averted again in the Ridgeland section of ''Lost in Hyrule'' where it seems like a nefarious plan she hatches might affect the plot... until it fails and goes completely unnoticed. |
| 151 | ** Averted yet again in ''The Sage of Spirit'', where the most focus she gets is being treated with open contempt by the rest of the group to the point of wanting to leave. |
| 152 | * DrivenToSuicide: At least claims to have been, given that she's seemingly willing to wander out into the desert and towards certain doom just to avoid the party. |
| 153 | * NoRespectGuy: Possibly even moreso than ''Waluigi''. While the latter is largely ignored, Daisy is treated with open contempt if she doesn't remain in the background where she belongs. |
| 154 | * SuddenlyShouting: She'll invoke this trope fairly often. She has no indoor voice. |
| 155 | * {{Tomboy}}: Apparently. She doesn't necessarily exhibit these traits in the CYOA, but that's what everyone says. |
| 156 | * UnknownRival: Daisy is this to Peach. Daisy attempts to sabotage Peach's play performance in the Ridgeland section of ''Lost In Hyrule'' by coating her dress with pain-inducing pepper sauce; it doesn't work out. In fact, nobody ever pieces Daisy's plan together. What's more, Daisy's chapter of focus, ''The Sage of Spirit'', doesn't even include Peach for her to play off of; Peach is barely aware of her existence, and Daisy is left to wander about purposelessly, following the group around. |

| 166 | A snarky Goomba who's information proves useful in battle, with her head having some insight outside of it... and also in battle. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | |
| 170 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: That headlamp isn't just for show! |
| 171 | * CuteLittleFangs: Or rather, just the one fang. |
| 172 | * DeadpanSnarker: Possibly the biggest snark shark in the entirety of the CYOA. |
| 173 | * EnemyScan: Has the invaluable ability to look enemies up in her tattle log and find information pertaining to their background and weakness. Unfortunately it's rarely made use of. |
| 174 | * ExtraTurn: Pretty much what she does every turn of every battle. |
| 175 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Despite all of the sass, she is probably one of the genuinely nicer party members, and helps both Luigi and Olimar grow as people. |
| 176 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed in that she isn't really much of a jerk, she's just direct and sassy. |
| 177 | * TheSmartGirl: Comes with being an archaeologist. |
| 178 | * TheStrategist: To some extent, thanks to her tattle ability. |
| 179 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Luigi and even Olimar to some extent. Waluigi wishes they shared this trope, but no such luck. |

| 189 | |
| 190 | Former police captain of the Onett force, Captain Strong joins the party after the events aboard the Excess Express. He goes on to fight in the Dueling Peaks tournament in ''Lost in Hyrule''. Dies in ''The Sage of Shadow''. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | ---- |
| 193 | |
| 194 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 195 | ** Takes center-stage as an up-and-coming tournament champion for the Dueling Peaks segment of ''Lost in Hyrule''. |
| 196 | ** Given considerable focus in ''The Sage of Ancients'', where he laments the collapse of the world he used to know and bemoans having been robbed of his chance at death. |
| 197 | * AGoodWayToDie: |
| 198 | ** Averted completely in ''The Sage of Ancients''. He suffers a fatal injury at the hands of Cyborg Donkey Kong, but manages to pull off his Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot Martial Arts as a dying DesperationAttack. This allows him to achieve peace in his final moments, and he is perfectly content to die doing what he loves... until Olimar uses the hourglass to keep him from dying. This pisses him off. |
| 199 | * BloodKnight: A pretty clear-cut case of this. He loves to fight, so much so that he refuses to give into his suicidal urges because he wants to go out fighting. |
| 200 | * BoxingBattler: Is this when fighting in the Dueling Peaks region. |
| 201 | * DeathSeeker: He grows increasingly frustrated as his attempts at dying in battle fail again and again. |
| 202 | * DesperationAttack: The Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot Martial Arts. An attempt to employ this attack will be met with failure unless it is used at the right moment, which seems to just mean when Strong is on the verge of defeat. |
| 203 | * FriendlyGhost: Subverted in that while he isn't an outright villain, he does not take kindly to the presence of Olimar and the rest of the party once they interrupt his afterlife. |
| 204 | * TheGamblingAddict: Is mentioned to be one several times, comes into play at Eggman's Casino in ''The Sage of Ancients'' |
| 205 | * {{Jerkass}}: Oh, yes. While he always came across as an asshole, he achieves true jerkassery when he bets Pikachu away in a poker game and shows absolutely no remorse for having done so. |
| 206 | * ProfaneLastWords: His ghost tells Olimar off before getting sucked into the Poltergust(in addition to punching Luigi in the nose) and then later flips Olimar off before ascending to the next plane of existence. |
| 207 | * TearOffYourFace: Strong's fate at the hands of Blue Fangs. |
| 208 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Unloads a particularly nasty one on Olimar for daring to use the Phantom Hourglass on him. |
| 209 | --->'''Captain Strong:''' "What a goddamned motherfucking waste of that hourglass! Forget the fucking fact that I wanted to die! Let's say I didn't! You still shouldn't have used the damn thing on me! I'm not nearly powerful or important enough, either to you or to the cause! What if, I dunno, the magic girl with all the fancy powers died? Where would we be then?! Or if Impa had kicked the bucket? Who would lead us? Or that guy in the ridiculous costume who always buddies around with you! Or Impa, the leader of the resistance; where would we be without her? Or one of your own kids! Or, worst of all, what if Boney died? What if any one of those people died, and you didn't have any uses left because you wasted them on some washed-up old man who was ready to get swallowed up by the earth?!"\ |

| 235 | |
| 236 | ---- |
| 237 | |
| 238 | * ADayInTheLimelight: ''The Sage of Forest'' was supposed to be this for him, though it's possibly averted in that he receives noticeably less attention than other party members. |
| 239 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite his goofiness, he's a powerful force in battle. Not only does he have good offensive options with a variety of crippling status effects at his disposal, but he's also one of the most prodigious healers in the CYOA. |
| 240 | * BigEater: Typical for Nopons. |
| 241 | * FakeUltimateHero: Claims to be the Legendary Heropon, but nobody pays those claims much mind. |
| 242 | * HeroicBSOD: Suffers this in response to the revelation that the entire world outside Hyrule has been consumed by plasm, including his wife and children. Or at least, he began to, but was immediately forced into slumber. |
| 243 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Adeleine and Ribbon in ''The Sage of Forest''. Which really only counts as ''two'' guys rather than three because Adeleine and Ribbon are treated as a collective. |

| 259 | * ForcedFriendlyFire: She's knocked off a platform and sent hurtling into the darkness after Samus takes control of Plasm Ridley and accidentally sends the creature flying into Elma. |
| 260 | * HumbleHero: Part of her mysteriousness comes from the fact that she just plain doesn't talk about her exploits. |

| 278 | * {{TheAlcoholic}}: Becomes this in response to Waluigi's decision to become a sage. |
| 279 | * EvilCounterpart: To Mario, naturally. Though this never comes into play in the CYOA, as Mario is killed offscreen. |
| 280 | * GarlicIsAbhorrent: Not to Wario, it's not. He consumes a clove to become Wario Man. |
| 281 | * Gasshole: Anna calls Wario out for trying to escape his feelings regarding Waluigi by turning to the bottle. Wario belches in her face in response. |
| 282 | * Greed: He was always greedy, but it's this character flaw that Anna uses to draw him out of his drunken depression, trading one vice for a... better one? |

| 284 | * OnlyFriend: Nobody cares for Wario, and it's doubtful anyone would notice if he disappeared... except for Waluigi. |

| 400 | |
| 401 | * Cloudcuckoolander: Based off the ''Mike Tyson Mysteries'' incarnation more than anything else, this trope definitely applies. |
| 402 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's definitely more brawn than brains, but holy frijoles is it a lotta brawn. His uppercut is lethal. |
| 403 | * GoodIsDumb: Even serving as Ganondorf's general, he was never particularly evil. He was roped into the position and manipulated into helping Ganondorf keep a fearful populace in check on threat of Tyson's own life. He quickly pursues more noble goals after being freed from his servitude under Ganon. Still, he was easily one of the least villainous generals, perhaps second only to Sylvando. |

| 478 | * CombatMedic: He's one of the few party members with a built-in healing ability, so he naturally falls into this role. |
| 479 | * CowardlyLion: He may be perpetually nervous about whatever lies around the corner, but he'll stick around for the fight. |
| 480 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Possibly averted in that he DID abandon Boney to the plasm through sheer cowardice... though it's unlikely he would make that mistake again. |

| 497 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Henry seems to not comprehend how the things he does could be considered bad, so long as he's doing it to help the person he's speaking to. Such as when he offers to kill Strong due to the latter not wanting to continue living. |

| 505 | * FriendlyGhost: When he returns as a ghost in King Boo's Mansion. |
| 506 | * HeroicSacrifice: Chooses to fall to his death in order to cut off the portal to hell and save the rest of the group. Perhaps averted in that he always desired a quick and painless yet messy end. |
| 507 | * NoSocialSkills: For some reason nobody wants him to come anywhere near them. |

| 536 | * {{BFS}}: Ragnell, his blade. |
| 537 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Dai Goroh. The two both effectively lost one of their arms, both were trained to be more proficient swordfighters by Dunban, who also lost the use of one of his arms, both shared in grief over their mentor's death. They've spent enough time together for Ike to become protective of Dai. |

| 680 | * BadassNormal: He's just a knight. He's not magical or anything. But he's a forced to be reckoned with. |
| 681 | * BFS: The scorching saber. |
| 682 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's tough. Really, really tough. Possibly the tankiest party member. Aside from having incredible defense, he hits like a truck, moves surprisingly fast, and even has a move that both heals allies and hurts the enemy. He has no weaknesses. |
| 683 | * TheRival: With King K. Rool, whom he constantly bickers with over who is the true king and can acquire the most subjects. King Knight wins the contest handily, getting quite a few people to - noncommittally - agree to be his subjects, whereas K. Rool utterly fails in this regard. |
| 684 | * VillainousValor: Actually acts semi-heroically in his efforts to protect his "subjects" from harm's way. Granted it's largely just to get them to (insincerely) acknowledge him as their superior, though unlike King K. Rool, he does at least seem to understand that he has to provide ''something'' to those beneath him in order to enjoy their servitude. |

| 691 | [[caption-width-right:156: Seeking employment after the fall of Nintendo Land.]] |
| 692 | |
| 693 | Former host of Nintendo Land. She joins up with the Resistance during the Gerudo region segment of ''Lost in Hyrule'', but quickly defects to Eggman's side. She dies in ''The Sage of Ancients''. |
| 694 | |
| 695 | ---- |
| 696 | |
| 697 | * TheAnnouncer: Comes with her duties as trivia host, park attendant, ride operator, expository dialogue deliverer, boardwalk carnie, and more. |
| 698 | * DrivenToSuicide: Her reaction to Eggman's death? Punching through her own monitor and tearing the wires out therein, manually shutting herself down. |
| 699 | * FaceHeelTurn: Abandons the Resistance as quickly as she joins it out of disgust for the lack of respect her teammates displayed toward machines. |
| 700 | * FantasticRacism: Her reason for defecting to Eggman's side. Not that she harbors racism towards the biological, but because of racism displayed by the biological towards the mechanical. She perceives Eggman as being much more appreciative of machines than the Resistance and runs off to join him. |
| 701 | * HeelFaceTurn: Unintentionally Subverted. After Monita’s death, WordOfGod revealed that playing the recording of Eggman’s opinion on Monita would have eventually caused her to defect back to the Resistance’s side. However, the recording ''was'' played to her. It had just been completely overlooked. |
| 702 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a prolonged and incredibly biting one to Olimar, chastising him for not knowing what true loss is. |
| 703 | --->'''Monita:''' "Based on my understanding of events, it seems as though you have everything you ever desired. You've got your entire family with you, alive and well. You've got your friends; what few of them you ever managed to make, anyway. You arguably suffered the loss of the Pikmin you've come to rely on, true, but you've clearly got them back. But then you never really lost them to begin with did you, what with that mace you like to lug around?" |
| 704 | --->'''Olimar:''' W-w-well... I lost... Charlie... and Cranky, and Alph, and the President, and Louie!\ |
| 705 | '''Monita:''' The way you spoke of these people, it didn't seem as though you had particularly strong bonds with them. At best some were well-respected acquaintances, and at worst some were antagonistic. How much thought do you spare toward them? Not much. But still probably more than that old ship of yours; I doubt if you've ever spared a thought for it, beyond disparaging it as some worthless hunk of trash. I may just be some machine, but I can detect a lack of sadness when I sense it. And you know what? I suspect that you'd be perfectly content to just go on living in Hyrule with your family, friends, and Pikmin for the rest of your days, if you could, if the plasm were all outside and would remain out there. Just hole up inside the Great Hyrule Barrier and wait out the clock. I can't think of a single other person for whom that's true.\ |

| 712 | [[caption-width-right:225: He wasn't programmed with mercy.]] |
| 713 | |
| 714 | A robot who previously served Eggman, now yearning for vengeance against his former master as well as seeking to take over the Eggman Empire in his place. He ends up getting killed in ''The Sage of Ancients''. |
| 715 | |
| 716 | ---- |
| 717 | |
| 718 | * ArchEnemy: Considers himself Eggman's, but it's pretty one-sided on his part as Eggman barely acknowledges him as a threat. |
| 719 | * ArmCannon: Two that have ''many'' weapons in them. |
| 720 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: He considers himself to be the best of Eggman's creations; every other robot created before or after he was? Complete rubbish in his (robotic) eyes. To be fair, he's legitimately powerful and probably is ''one'' of Eggman's best. |
| 721 | * BerserkButton: Anything relating to Dr. Eggman. |
| 722 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: He's tacitly on the side of good, but mainly because he just wants to mercilessly shred Eggman to pieces. |
| 723 | * HiddenDepths: Eventually displays some amount of empathy for R.O.B. over the loss of Pikachu, despite having treated the two poorly in the past. Of course he ''did'' have the ulterior motive of recruiting R.O.B. over to his future army. |
| 724 | * KillerRobot: He's clearly a killing machine what with his built-in weaponry. |
| 725 | * Lightning Bruiser: He's strong, he's fast, and it's gonna take a hell of a lot to take him down. Balanced out in that he can't be healed by conventional means. |
| 726 | * OffWithHisHead: Omega slices Eggman's head right off before dying himself. |
| 727 | * NominalHero: He's really just here to serve his own ends of getting revenge against Eggman and taking over the Eggman Empire. If he happens to act in a way resembling heroism, it's not coming from a genuinely heroic place. |
| 728 | * TinMan: As a robot, he's mostly emotionless, but he is capable of understanding the emotions of others and reacting accordingly. See his ability to persuade R.O.B. to join his future army by assuring him they would recover Pikachu. |
| 729 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: |
| 730 | ** If there was one word to describe him, his relationship with Eggman or even his comrades, it wouldn't be "loyal". |
| 731 | ** Schemes to take over the Eggman Empire and work toward world domination once the plasm is dealt with, so he would inevitably end up at odds with the rest of the party. |

| 759 | * PersonOfMassConstruction: Him and Isaac spend most of their time doing some manner of construction or maintenance work. They even opt to stay behind in Eldin and help rebuild Goron City and the racetrack after the destruction caused by Grima. |
| 760 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Once reunited with Isaac, they become this. |

| 767 | A young artist and her winged companion. The two joined the Resistance in the Gerudo region of ''Lost in Hyrule''. |
| 768 | |
| 769 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Averted somewhat in that they were supposed to get focus in ''The Sage of Forest'', but ultimately receive quite little compared to most other party members. |
| 770 | * ArtAttacker: Adeleine fights by bringing her paintings to life as summons. |
| 771 | * DeadpanSnarker: Ribbon can be this. |
| 772 | * KnockoutGas: Adeleine uses this on Riki via painted Butterfree once the Nopon starts having a breakdown over the revelation that his loved ones are dead. |
| 773 | * RedOniBluOni: Adeleine being blue, and Ribbon being red. |
| 774 | * SirSwearsALot: Ribbon has a ''robust'' vocabulary. |
| 775 | * ThoseTwoGuys: |
| 776 | ** They naturally exhibit this with each other, seeing as how they're collectively counted as a single unit. |
| 777 | ** The fact that they're treated as a single unit means they can be seen as having this with Riki in ''The Sage of Forest''. |
| 778 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: Obviously. |

| 783 | |
| 784 | A strange fusion of flesh and machine, the Man-at-Legs is a biomechanical life form. The creature itself and the machine which provides it protection seem to operate independently of one another. |
| 785 | ---- |
| 786 | |
| 787 | * HeelFaceTurn: Subverted. He's tamed after having the machine gun removed from his underside, though it's dubious as to whether the Man-at-Legs had any intent to harm the party to begin with. |
| 788 | * TankGoodness: The party upgrades it to the extent that it's practically a tank; at the very least, it has comparable offensive and defensive capabilities. |
| 789 | * TeamPet: The least prominent example. |

| 797 | |
| 798 | A small electric rodent that sort of just hangs around with the Resistance. In ''The Sage of Ancients'', he's captured by Eggman's forces and turned into a brainwashed cyborg. He gets better. |
| 799 | |
| 800 | ---- |
| 801 | |
| 802 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Actually got some attention in ''The Sage of Spirits'', in which he was captured by Eggman and turned into an enemy cyborg. |

| 809 | [[folder:Toad Guard]] |
| 810 | |
| 811 | A simple Green Toad who deserted the Mushroom Kingdom and made it to Hyrule armed with only a spear, a shield, and a bow. |
| 812 | |
| 813 | ---- |
| 814 | |
| 815 | * BadassBoast: Claims to have taken out a kraken while out in the ocean on a dinghy, and then washing up onto an island and slaying the dragon which was occupying its volcano. The truth of these claims is unknown. |
| 816 | * BadassNormal: He's just a typical Toad Guard. He says he trained under the Master, but he doesn't exhibit any of the Master's abilities or any other special powers. He's just armed and not afraid to fight, which has gotten him this far. |
| 817 | * BloodKnight: He displays little to no fear at the prospect of battle, which is highly unusual for a Toad. If anything, he seems to enjoy fighting. |
| 818 | * BrokenPedestal: It's implied that Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom are this to him, after they refused to prepare for the plasm, dismissing it as something Mario would take care of if it came to the Mushroom Kingdom. |
| 819 | * CanonForeigner: One of a very small selection of original characters in the CYOA. |
| 820 | * DeadpanSnarker: He gets some of this in. |
| 821 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: His full name is Phyce T., with the Toad Guard being embarrassed by his first name as he considers 'Phyce' to be very nerdy-sounding. Snake laughs at the name, but not for that reason. |
| 822 | * FireForgedFriends: Though initially unfriendly toward each other, Snake and the Toad Guard form a bond after fighting off a goddess together and sharing their (not dissimilar)backstories. |
| 823 | * HiddenDepths: In his first appearance in ''The Sage of Shadow'', he was just a foul-mouthed, no-nonsense Toad who seemingly managed to survive this long due to his willingness to pick up a spear. He reappears in ''The Sage of Forest'', where it is revealed that he became disillusioned with the lackadaisical way in which Peach and Toadsworth ran the Mushroom Kingdom, choosing to desert the Kingdom before the plasm arrived. |
| 824 | * MeaningfulName: While typically referred to as the Toad Guard, Phyce T. is his actual moniker, an obvious play on 'feisty'. Snake laughs at the fittingness of the name. |
| 825 | * InterspeciesFriendship: With Snake, if a friendship between a human and a Toad even counts. |
| 826 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Toad Guard's response to the Mushroom Kingdom's refusal to do anything at all to prepare for the looming plasm threat. |
| 827 | * SirSwearsALot: Probably the most foul-mouthed character in the entire CYOA, rivaled only by Ribbon. |
| 828 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Spends most of his time with Snake in ''The Sage of Forest''. |
