'''''Mario Party 5''''' is the fifth main installment in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Like its namesake, it is a party game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] that up to four players can participate in, succeeding the Nintendo GameCube's first ''Mario Party'' installment, ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. It was first released in November 11, 2003 in North American territories, approximately one year after ''Mario Party 4'' was released. As in the other ''Mario Party'' installments, players interact with one another in virtual boards, playing as various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters. Players then can participate in various mini-games at the end of every turn in the board, each with their own set of rules and settings. The most notable change in this game is that the item system that was first introduced in ''Mario Party 2'' was replaced with the new [[Orb|capsule]] system, where players can not only use them for their own advantage, but also set up traps for other players to fall into; ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' would later return the capsule system (now called Orbs) and add new mechanics to the capsules. ''Mario Party 5'' also introduces new modes such as [[Super Duel Mode]], where players can battle each other on battle machines and Bonus Mode, where players can play special mini-games, similar to ''Mario Party 4'''s Extra Mode. The game is also significant for being the second in the series to introduce 3D game boards. Previous titles, all except for ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', use pre-rendered backgrounds, which are static and limited in their presentation. As a result, all subsequent ''Mario Party'' titles, with the exception of ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' on the [[Game Boy Advance]], have employed 3D backgrounds allowing for much more dynamic fields of play. ''Mario Party 5'' requires 5 blocks on the Memory Card to save the game, and up to three game files can be saved. | '''''Mario Party 5''''' is the fifth main installment in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]].

''Mario Party 5'' features the [[Star Spirits]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', here named the Star Guards, as the main hosts of the game, where one of them guides the player through each of the game's various modes. The game features a dream-theme, where the game takes place in the [[Dream Depot]] and each of the boards' names have "Dream" suffixes. In the game's Story Mode, geared towards single players, a playable character has to face [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopa Kid|Koopa Kids]] (known as Mini Bowser in the PAL version), who invade the Dream Depot, and need to challenge them in every stage. | ''Mario Party 5'' features the [[Star Spirits]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', here named the '''Star Guards''', as the main hosts of the game, where one of them guides the player through each of the game's various modes.
