Players select one of six ''[[Mario (franchise)|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 sub-series of the ''Mario'' franchise, which continues to this day, becoming one of the most well-known series in gaming. | ||

Players aim to collect Stars to locate the mysterious treasure that is locked away in the jungle's ancient ruins. Four [[Whomp]]s are guarding the junctions; to pass, a player must pay 10 [[Coin]]s. Landing on a [[Happening Space]] triggers a rolling boulder which in turn chases down any players standing in its way to the path near the start of the board. If a player happens to meet [[Bowser]] on this board, they are "awarded" a useless Golden Bowser Statue and are forced to pay him 10 coins. | ||

|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. | |align=left|[[Peach's Birthday Cake]] is [[Princess Peach]]'s board.

A Pink [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is on the small island and is surrounded by whirlpools, with a Blue Yoshi who cannot do anything about it.

Bowser sells defective [[Bowser's bogus items|Bowser Tube]]s to players for 30 coins. Two [[Thwomp]]s block both ways to the opposite island, and request fees from players if they want to pass. The fee always starts at one coin, but goes up by one coin each time until it reaches the limit of 50 coins to pass. | ||

|align=left|[[Luigi's Engine Room]] | |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). The main feature is the board-wide system of red and blue doors. 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. Players that go to Bowser will see his "Make As Many Coins As You Want Mecha" in action. They will get a coin from Bowser, at the cost of 20 coins. No matter where the players go, all paths end in [[Warp Pipe]]s that lead to [[Boo]], who is near the start. | ||

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.

*'''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. | |||

|align= | |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. | ||

''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. | ''Mario Party'' received mostly positive reviews from critics.

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. | 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).
