Toad is playable in Mario Party 9 and he should remain playable in the series. We have more characters to fill in the host spot. His popularity is probably why he became a playable character (ironically, DK became a host after Toad became playable).
Actually, I think DK became a host in order to help the players and to counter Bowser harming the players. But yeah, Toad should remain playable, that's why I love Mario Party 5 so much as well as 6 when Toadette was playable.
You know, they could have either keep the lucky space, make Donkey Kong playable, and give original awards; or they could make a Rosalina space that functions just like a Donkey Kong space.
Good ideas, although another reason is probably because Hudson didn't see much reason to make DK playable as he ,Yoshi, Boo and Koopa Kid were the only ones not to have partners, (Mario and Luigi, Peach and Daisy, Wario and Waluigi, Toad and Toadette,) and they certaintly couldn't get rid of Yoshi otherwise a lot of people would've been mad about Yoshi's removal, and even then, Yoshi gained Birdo while Boo got Dry Bones as partners in 7 while Koopa Kid was removed. Of course, they could add Diddy as a partner for DK. Maybe I'm overthinking this.
