Bandit

Discription
Bandits are tricky villains that appear in the Mario Party series. They are seen in several games, where they usually steal from unsuspecting victims. They cloak themselves in colorful robes and angry masks. These masks however, move with their facial expressions.

Early Games
Bandits originally appeared in Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island. Here they would charge at Yoshi and steal Baby Mario away from him. They would run across the level with Baby Mario in tow, until Yoshi pounded their heads. They took three hits to kill.

Yoshi's Island
In Yoshi's Island they were a common enemy along with Shy Guys. If one touched Yoshi (unless they were stunned or being jumped on) they would take away Baby Mario and start running. By merely touching the Baby, Yoshi could get him back. Jumping on them three times will defeat it which would cause several coinseseses to pop out. If Yoshi throws an egg at one a coin will pop out. They also appeared in Yoshi's Island DS where they were less common.

Mario Party 7
Bandit appears in Mario Party 7 in Pyramid Park. He steals the Sphinx's star, and the player has to get it back with a Chain Chomp.

Mario Party 8
Bandit appeared in Mario Party 8 in several boards. In Shy Guy's Perplex Express, he is wandering around in one of the trains. There is a green space, if somebody lands on that green space, a Shy Guy will ask the player where the Bandit is, although sometimes he'll ask about Mowz instead. Bandit also appears in the board,Koopa's Tycoon Town, where he hides in a dark alley. If anyone lands on the green space, Bandit is going to come out, and steal coins from one of the hotels, and will give them to the player who landed on the green space.
