Woody

Woody is a tree that appears in various Mario Party games, first appearing in Mario Party 2. He also has a mean counterpart named Evil Woody, who acts his opposite; while Woody is charitable and helps out the characters, Evil Woody is greedy and causes harm to them.
== Description ==
Woody has a sweet expression on his trunk serving as his "face." His trunk is brown and his leaves are green, akin to generic trees. Mario Party 6 gives Woody a nose resembling the stump of a severed branch.
==In the Mario Party series==
===Mario Party 2===
Woody is the host of Mini-Game Mode. The player can purchase mini-games and different modes from Woody in this game. There are also different colored Woody's that appear as a host for the different type of mini-games.
===Mario Party 3===
Woody is featured as a non-playable character in Woody Woods. Woody appears near a set of Happening Spaces. When a player lands on one of the happening spaces in front of the tree, Woody will offer the character two presents. One present contains a five coin bonus while the other present contains another Dice Block. If the player does not choose a present, then Woody would give them five coins. His "dark" counterpart, the Evil Woody, makes his debut here and acts oppositely to Woody himself.
Woody is featured in the 2-vs.-2 mini-game Picking Panic, in which both teams swing from the branches of Woody, tossing cherries to their teammate to collect and put into a basket.
===Mario Party 6===
Woody appears on the board Towering Treetop. Woody appears at the top of the tree only during daytime. When a player lands on one of the adjoining Happening Spaces in front of Woody, they will be showered with coins from Woody's branches. When the board transitions into night mode, Woody lends his spot over to his dark counterpart.
===Mario Party Superstars===
Woody returns on the Woody Woods board, reprising his role from Mario Party 3. He will give you either coin fruit granting you some coins or dice fruit, granting you an extra dice roll. However, those that do not choose his fruits do not get a dice nor coins.
==Nomenclature==
In Japanese, Woody is called Kinokio, from ki (which actually means "demon" but can be read as an alternative to "jumuko" (tree), written 樹木) and the Italian name Pinócchio, presumably referring to The Adventures of Pinocchio. In Chinese, he is merely called "Dàshú," which means "big tree."
