Since only four characters can be in the active "battle" [[party]] at one time, once the [[party]] grows to more than that the rest can wait in the wagon until switched in. Up to four characters can ride in the wagon. Where the wagon is available, the player can rearrange the party any time. The wagon is not typically available in caves, dungeons, or castles, preventing the player from having anything to fall back on if his characters run low and forcing him to make do with what he currently has at his disposal; however, some items such as the [[Baron's bugle]] can summon it. Additional characters can be stored in [[Patty's Party Planning Place]].

==Appearances==

==={{DQ4}}===

The wagon is obtained from [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]] at the [[Last Chance Saloon]] after convincing him to help out, and he joins the {{Party 4}} as a guest for a time. When he leaves the party in [[Mintos]] to study under, he leaves his horse and wagon in {{Hero 4}}'s care.

==={{DQ5}}===

The wagon is purchased from the Curiosity Shop in [[Fortuna]]. Said shop is only open at night, and the wagon is offered at the low cost of 300 [[gold]] coins. This is required in order to start [[Monster recruitment|taming monster companions]].

Some elephant monsters (like [[Eyevory tusk-tusk]]) can banish a {{Party 5}} member to the wagon, requiring the player to switch them back in at the start of the next round. Similarly, one of the effects of [[confusion]] on {{Party 5}} members is that they may leave for the "peace and quiet" of the wagon.

==={{DQ6}}===

In {{Dragon Quest VI}}, the wagon is obtained in [[Somnia]] after the The {{Hero 6}} and [[Carver]] capture the horse, [[Peggy Sue]].

==={{DQ8}}===

The wagon works a little differently in this installment. Since the party composition is fixed, the wagon is instead used to house the [[Alchemy Pot]].
