'''''Mario Party Advance''''' is the seventh game in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the tenth installment overall and the second handheld installment of the series, specifically for the [[Game Boy Advance]], after ''[[Mario Party-e]]'' for the [[e-Reader]]. The game revolves around either [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], or [[Yoshi]] travelling across [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] to collect the [[minigame]]s and [[Gaddget]]s that fell from Party World, an area dedicated to partying high above the sky. After [[Bowser]] and [[Koopa Kid]] attack Party World, Toad tasks them with collecting everything that fell down. This can only be accomplished by helping out the city's citizens and stopping Bowser from exerting his influence. Shroom City can only be accessed with a single player; barring a few minigames, Gaddgets, and a physical [[Bonus Board]] that is played alongside the video game, the game does not focus on multiplayer and is more single-player oriented. | '''''Mario Party Advance''''' is the seventh game in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the tenth installment overall and the second handheld installment of the series, specifically for the [[Game Boy Advance]], after ''[[Mario Party-e]]'' for the [[e-Reader]].
