Party Members

Throughout the events of Tuba Warriors, Maestro will meet several friends or foes, some of which can be recruited as allies to help him stop the dastardly King Tuba II. Each party member has a specific type and special ability, and most of them have special techniques that only they can use.

The following list includes all party members in Tuba Warriors, as well as some basic info about them. Most party members also have their own specific pages, which dive more into their non-gameplay attributes.
