What are the two sun-and-moon hosts of Mario Party 6 called?

The two sun-and-moon hosts of Mario Party 6 are Brighton and Twila.

Brighton represents the sun, while Twila represents the moon. Their rivalry supplies the game’s framing story: the pair argue over which of them is more popular, and Mario proposes collecting Stars to settle the dispute.

Their roles match Mario Party 6’s most distinctive gameplay feature, its day-and-night cycle. On many boards, the sun changes to the moon and back at regular intervals, altering spaces, events, available characters, or minigame conditions. The cycle generally changes after every three turns, so the hosts are part of both the story and the game mechanics.

Brighton and Twila are not the same characters as Yellow Toad and Blue Toad, who host Mario Party 9, or MC Ballyhoo and Big Top, who host Mario Party 8. Mario Party 6 was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004 and was the first Mario Party game to support the console’s microphone accessory.
