MC Ballyhoo and Big Top

MC Ballyhoo
MC Ballyhoo is the eccentric owner and host of the annual Star Carnival. He has a weird little head when Big Top is not on him. The head is green with glowing yellow eyes.

Big Top
Big Top is the talking hat of MC Ballyhoo, and serves as his co-host in the Wii game Mario Party 8. Big Top not only has the ability of speech, but also has a mind of its own. Big Top also pops a propeller out of his head when Ballyhoo must take flight. The top of his head has the ability to open up, so things can be stored inside of him.

He is used to store things, such as: Coins and Coin Bags (Chump Charity) Tic-Tac Balls (Tic-Tac-Drop) Star Rod (end of Star Battle) Year's supply of Candy on a platform (beginning of Star Battle) Mallet (partway through Flip-out Frenzy).
