Evil Woody[1] isWoody's counterpart who debuts inMario Party 3 inWoody Woods. Contrasting with Woody's perpetually happy expression and kind-hearted attitude, Evil Woody has a perpetually angry expression and a hostile attitude. His color palette is also an inversion of Woody's color palette, being blue with purple leaves. If a player lands on one of the three? Spaces surrounding Evil Woody, he will award them a Minus Coin Fruit (resulting in a loss of fivecoins) or a Reverse Block Fruit allowing the player to roll again but go in reverse. If the player does not choose either fruit, Evil Woody will always give them a Reverse Block Fruit.
Evil Woody appears inMario Party 6 on the boardTowering Treetop. He appears at night to replace Woody at the top of theboard. Whenever a character lands on one of Evil Woody'sEvent Spaces, instead of him giving coins as Woody does, Evil Woody instead takes away coins by droppingSpinies on every character.
Evil Woody reappears in the returning board Woody Woods inMario Party Superstars. In addition to reprising his role fromMario Party 3, he also appears at the end of a game to drop large purple fruit onto the losing players in order from last to second. This time around, the Minus Coin Fruit takes away a random number of coins ranging from 1 to 15, and if the player does not choose either of his fruits, Evil Woody will make them suffer the effects of both fruits. Also, the victim adopts a sad expression on their face whenever they roll Evil Woody'sDice Block, and instead of the victim going in reverse on their own, a swarm ofSwoops appears, dragging the victim backwards before dropping them on the ground.

Notes[edit]
- The structure of Evil Woody's Japanese name is intentionally like that ofWario andWaluigi, being a portmanteau of the Japanese wordwarui (
悪 い), meaning "bad," and the name of their good counterpart. - How Evil Woody replaces his counterpart inMario Party 6 is unknown, as he is established as a separate being inMario Party 3.
