'''''Mario Party''''' is a [[Genre#Party|party game]] released for the [[Nintendo 64]] as the first installment in the titular [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'']] series. Players select one of six ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters and move around the board, collecting [[coin]]s and various other items to help themselves or hinder others in their quest to collect [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s. Players participate in mini-games after each turn, in which they compete for extra coins. These mini-games vary widely, from free-for-alls to pairs to three-on-ones. They test players' reflexes, puzzle-solving skills, and even luck. Certain mini-games allow players to steal coins from each other, while others grant the winner five coins from their rivals. Dueling mini-games in later installments would serve a similar purpose. This game is known for pioneering an iconic and renowned series in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, which continues to this day, becoming one of the most well-known series in gaming.

The story begins with [[Mario]] and his friends standing around and arguing over who is the Super Star, the superior one among them. To sort things out amongst members of the gang, [[Wario]] theorizes that a Super Star must be strong. [[Donkey Kong]] abruptly agrees, while bragging about his strength. An argument and fight ensue between the two, with [[Luigi]] finding himself quite literally stuck in the middle. It is also suggested that Mario would make a good superstar, or [[Princess Peach]], or even the energetic [[Yoshi]].

The gang begins to close in on [[Toad]], who jumps and shouts out that he has an idea of what they should do. Arguing that being a Super Star takes not only strength, but also courage, wisdom, and kindness, he suggests that the crew take the [[Warp Pipe]] in [[Village Square|Mushroom Village]], and find out who is the Super Star of their adventures. Though he warns them that the path will be dangerous, all six of the competitors race toward the pipe and enter it one by one, thus beginning the game itself.

The game features a total of six playable characters, all controlled and played identically to one another. Wario is referred to as one of Mario's friends, being the first time he is referred to as such.
The game features a total of six playable characters - [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], and [[Donkey Kong]]. Due to the format of this game, each character controls and plays the same regardless of personality. Notably, Wario is referred to as one of Mario's friends, making his first appearance as an ally of Mario's rather than an enemy.

===Party mode===
===Party mode===
Party mode is the heart of ''Mario Party''. Four players will play on a board game, each getting a turn to roll the 1-10 [[Dice Block]]s, which will determine how many spaces they will move across. Depending on what items are enabled, the 1-10 Dice Block can be replaced with another Dice Block with its own unique effects. Players will try to collect coins by landing on helpful spaces and triggering board events. When a player passes by the [[Star Space]], they can purchase a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] for 20 coins.

After everyone rolls, a roulette will appear which will randomly select a minigame to play. This process will repeat itself until the set amount of turns is up.
 
After everyone rolls, a roulette will appear which will randomly select a minigame to play. Whether the minigame is a 4-Player minigame, 2-vs-2 minigame and 1-vs-3 minigame depends on the type of space each player landed on. If all players landed on a [[Blue Space]] or [[Red Space]], a 4-Player minigame is chosen; if it is a split between two Blue Spaces and two Red Spaces, a 2-vs-2 minigame is chosen; and if one player is on a Blue or Red Space while the other players are on the opposite space, a 1-vs-3 minigame is chosen. If a player lands on a green space, the space color will be randomly selected before a minigame is chosen. Whichever team or player wins the minigame is rewarded with coins. Some minigames will also take away coins from other players or teams if they lost (making this the only ''Mario Party'' game where players can lose coins in standard end-of-turn minigames, outside of minigames where coins are wagered). This process will repeat itself until the set number of turns (20, 35 or 50) is up.
 
The winner will be determined by who had the most Stars. If two or more players share the same number of Stars, coins will be used as the tiebreaker. If two or more players share the same number of coins and Stars, a dice roll will be made where the higher-rolling player wins.

|align=left|[[Peach's Birthday Cake]] is the smallest map of the ones available in ''Mario Party''. Its main feature is the Flower Lottery, hosted by [[Goomba]], where a player plants a red, blue, yellow, or green seed (at the cost of 10 coins) and grows a flower. Three flowers have a [[Toad]] face, while one flower has a Bowser face on it. After all four seeds are planted, four new ones can be chosen. This is run by a Goomba, who says if a player gets the Bowser face, they will go to Bowser, who will sell him the Bowser Cake, one of Bowser's bogus items, for 20 coins. If a player gets a Toad face, they will go in the direction of the Star. If a player lands on a [[Happening Space]], they have the opportunity to plant a "Strawberry Seed" at the cost of 30 coins, which grows into a [[Piranha Plant]]. Once planted, if another player with stars lands on the Happening Space with the Piranha Plant there, it will steal a Star from that player, and give it to the player that planted it.

If a player lands on a [[Happening Space]], the Bob-ombs will switch the directions of the cannons. Bowser's area can only be reached by asking the [[Fly Guy]] in the northeast area to carry the character conversing with him to Bowser for ten [[coin]]s. Bowser also has a cannon in this area to replace his [[Bowser's bogus items|bogus item]]. However, instead of firing at a specific part of the board, Bowser will just fire a character at a random spot.

One set rises up to block specific paths while the other set goes down to open other paths. The doors switch at the start of every turn, when players land on certain [[Happening Space]]s, or if a robot on the board is paid 20 coins to switch them. ? spaces on steam generators near the engine make steam rise out of the respective generator, propelling players to a higher section.

|align=left|[[Luigi's Engine Room]] is [[Luigi]]'s board. Players need to collect stars to power up the engine in the middle of the room (but actually in the back of the playing board).

|align=left|[[Mario's Rainbow Castle]] is placed on clouds with multiple towers and is sky-themed. The main feature of this board is that the location of the Star does not change each time a player receives one. Instead, it is always located on the main tower of the map. Each time a player does receive a Star, however, the tower rotates, revealing [[Bowser]]. When the player reaches the tower while Bowser is there, he charges 40 coins for a [[Ztar]]. Unlike their later appearances, they do not affect the star count, merely serving to waste the 40 coins. The tower can also be rotated by any player landing on a [[Happening Space]].

|align=left|[[Bowser's Magma Mountain]] takes place on the summit of a gigantic volcano. The main feature of the board involves various stone heads that offer shortcuts throughout the board for 10 coins. If the player accepts, a roulette block will appear containing either Bowser's face or a Star. If the latter is hit, the player is allowed to take the shortcut. However, if they choose Bowser's face, the player is forced to continue on their original path. Eventually, the player will reach a purple-colored Stone Head, who will offer the same roulette block, except free of charge. This time, however, if the player selects Bowser's Face, they will automatically follow a path directly to Bowser, who will steal 20 coins or a Star (depending on the roulette) from the player. This board is only available if bought for 980 coins and after all other boards are played at least once. If the player lands on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]], Bowser's volcano will erupt, turning all Blue Spaces into Red Spaces.

On this space-themed board, Koopa Troopa is kidnapped at the very beginning of the game by Bowser, and players move around the star using warp stations and must retrieve Stars from seven Baby Bowsers. Upon reaching a Baby Bowser, players must pay their 20 coins and roll higher than him to get a Star. The player's Dice Block can roll 8-10 but Baby Bowser's can roll any number.

In the center of the star is Bowser; upon reaching him, he takes a Star from the player who reached him (or 20 coins if they do not have any Stars) and sends them back to the start and changes the routes of the Warp Machines. If a player lands on any Happening Space, Bowser will send everyone back to start, though the Warp Machine routes remain unchanged.

|Any player who lands on this space triggers a roulette, which any of these events can follow:
|Uncommon
*'''Coins For Bowser''': Bowser takes 10-50 Coins from the player.
*'''Bowser's Balloon Burst''': This mini-game is played just like the original [[Balloon Burst (4-Player)]], but anyone who loses gets 10-50 coins taken away.
*'''Bowser's Face Lift''': This mini-game is played just like the original [[Face Lift]], but players that do not get 90 points or more lose 10-50 coins. If all players achieve more than 90 points, Bowser steals the aforementioned amount of coins from the player who landed on his space.
*'''Bowser's Tug o' War''': This mini-game is like the original [[Tug o' War]], except the losing side loses 10-50 coins to Bowser. If the mini-game ends in a tie due to the time running out, Bowser steals the aforementioned amount of coins from everyone.
*'''Bash 'n' Cash''': This mini-game is just like the normal [[Bash 'n' Cash]], except the coins disappear so none of the other players can collect them. If no coins are lost in this mini-game, Bowser steals 30 coins from the player who landed on his space.
*'''Bowser Revolution''': Bowser takes everyone's coins and split them evenly among all the players.
*'''Bowser's Chance Time''': This event is just like [[Chance Time]], but Bowser has it modified so that he always is on the receiving end of the trade, and that he does not give or trade coins. Unlike normal Chance Time, Stars cannot be lost.
*'''100 Star Present''', '''1000 Coin Present''', and '''Star Steal''': These are all in gold letters when shown. The cursor very rarely lands on these events, and if it does, Bowser leaves and does nothing.
If the player who lands on this space has at least one [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] but no [[coin]]s, Bowser gives the player 10 coins in exchange for their Star. However, if they do not have any Stars or coins, Bowser will always give them 20 coins regardless of what place they are in.

|When a player passes here, they can obtain a Star only if they have at least 20 Coins. The Star Space does not count towards the player's movements, unlike other spaces. On most boards, the player can purchase a Star for 20 coins from Toad, and they can also decline. However, on [[Eternal Star]], the player needs to defeat 1 out of 7 [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowsers]] to get it. If they win, Baby Bowser will give up a Star, leaving a Chance Space behind. However, if the player loses, Baby Bowser will take a Star away from the player.

The Juke Box allows the player to listen to any song from the game. The only prerequisite is that the player must have heard the song in the game itself before it becomes available on the Juke Box. The Juke Box becomes available for use after the player buys the [[Record (Mario Party)|Record]] from the [[Mushroom Shop]] for 50 [[Coin]]s. For PAL and Japanese players, an extra song is available entitled "Move to the Mambo!", which is unavailable in the American version.

[[Mini-Game Island]] is a special challenge in which the goal is to travel all around the island and beat every mini-game one by one. After beating every mini-game and reaching the end, Toad will challenge the player once more to a race against him and two other CPUs in [[Slot-Car Derby|Slot Car Derby]]. This mode is for one player only. Completing the mode will reward the player with the [[Bumper Ball Maze]] minigame, which can be accessed in the Minigame House.

===Eliminated players remaining in Mushroom Mix-Up===
In [[Mushroom Mix-Up]], usually the eliminated player will be carried away by a [[Blooper]]. However, if one player stomps on another player while the mushroom platforms sink and causes them to fall into the water while managing to reach the non-sinking platform, the minigame ends as usual, but the eliminated player may be seen remaining in the water without the Blooper's appearance. This situation happens especially when only two players remain or the minigame lasts for an extended period of time.{{ref needed}}
===Platform Peril softlock===
In [[Platform Peril]], if the winning player's path is blocked when the minigame ends, the minigame will continue indefinitely, softlocking the game.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3nrTXjHivk|title=Softlocking Every Mario Party for Nintendo 64|author=Snooplax|date=October 21, 2019|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 21, 2024}}</ref>

''Mario Party'' received mostly positive reviews from critics. The most frequent criticism ''Mario Party'' received was the slow pacing and lack of enjoyment without multiplayer. GameSpot explains "The games that are enjoyable to play in multiplayer are nowhere near as good in single-player mode. Really it's that multiplayer competitive spark of screaming at and/or cheering for your friends that injects life into those often-simple little games and without it, they're just simple little games." IGN took a similar line, saying that it was the interaction between players rather than the interaction between the game that made ''Mario Party'' fun. Another common criticism was the game's dependence on luck rather than skill, though this was seen by many to add to the game's board game atmosphere, as players who were comfortably in the lead one turn could be losing the next.

===Legal issues===
Nintendo gave away a free ''Mario Party'' glove for a time after the game's release, the reason being that many players got blisters and other ailments on the palms of their hands due to the mini-games that involve spinning the {{button|n64|Stick}} around as fast as possible, which are [[Tug o' War]], [[Paddle Battle]], and [[Pedal Power]] (this was likely why ''Mario Party'' was not released on the [[Virtual Console]], but ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' was). Nintendo suggested that the players should use the thumb to spin the Control Stick, but this method is a lot slower than rotating with the palm, and the thumb can slip off the joystick. Receiving the glove required proof of purchase of the first game of the series. The glove giveaway did not surface until after the release of ''Mario Party 2''. This was because Nintendo lost a class-action lawsuit that was filed by several families of the injured players and had to pay several thousands of dollars in damage reparations as a result. As a consequence of unbalanced difficulty and self-injury, as well as the Control Stick's high potential for decalibration through this method, there were no more mini-games after ''Mario Party'' that involved spinning the Stick as fast as possible until ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' was released since the analog stick on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] made it safe to spin quickly without injuries.

In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', there is also a warning in place for the Tug o' War and Cast Aways minigames for players not to use their palms while playing the minigame, referencing the issue. A similar warning appears for the [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] version of ''Mario Party'' when starting the game.

The ending cutscene for Luigi's Engine Room has the board reveal itself to take place inside a flying ship much like the Rainbow Cruiser from the course [[Rainbow Ride]], though however with a completely different design. The Cheep Cheep in Yoshi's Tropical Island takes its English name from [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]] from [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. Mario's title screen (if he wins the board game under the title of being a Superstar) depicts him with the Wing Cap flying with the other playable characters. Mario's scream from this game is also reused. In the minigame [[Face Lift]], the logo in the background reads "Super Bowser 64". [[Wario's Battle Canyon]] features a feud between the [[Bob-omb Buddy|Red Bob-ombs]] and [[Bob-omb|Black Bob-ombs]] similar to [[Bob-omb Battlefield]].

*This is the only ''Mario Party'' to have no entirely luck-based minigames.
*This was originally the only ''Mario Party'' game to have a title screen that changes; namely, depending on which character wins a board, except for Mini-Game Stadium. This concept returns in ''Mario Party Superstars'', with the title screen changing depending on the last board played.
