'''''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.

==Story==
==Story==
It is a normal day in Party World when the player first arrives there. [[Toad]] greets the player shortly before [[Bowser]], with [[Koopa Kid]] at his side, falls onto Toad. Bowser then disperses all of the mini-games and Gaddgets towards various parts of [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]]. When Bowser and Koopa Kid leave, and when the flattened Toad adjusts back to his normal form, Toad motivates the player to travel all over Shroom City, gather every mini-game and Gaddget, and restore peace to Party World.
It is a normal day in Party World when the player first arrives there.

Now Mario must go and retrieve them all by traveling all over Shroom City and restoring peace to Party World.

====Mini-Game Attack====
====Mini-Game Attack====
The player selects one of the four characters, and meets the host, Toad. Here, the player will play through fifteen mini-games in order to win coins. After Toad explains the instructions, a list of three minigames will appear, and the player can pick which one they think they can win. The minigames appear as they would in Free Play, but now have winning conditions akin to that Shroom City, but notably more difficult by increasing the criteria compared to Shroom City or making the computer players smarter. If a player loses a minigame, they will lose everything they accumulated up to this point. If they win five games, they can win 1,000 coins, ten games results in 10,000 coins, and 100,000 coins for all fifteen games. During the attack, they can either keep their total, or use their special items to help.

There are three special items, Switch, Replay, and Practice. Replay allows the player to play the games that they completed again, Switch changes three current games with three new ones, and Practice allows the player to try a game before playing it for real.

Replay allows the player to play the games that they completed again, Change replaces three current games with three new ones, and Practice allows the player to try a game before playing it for real.

==Quests==
The following is a list of all fifty quests in ''Mario Party Advance''. Quests are obtained by talking to non-playable characters around Shroom City. Nearly every NPC gives only one quest, although some of them may be tied to quests given by others. A few non-playable characters, such as [[Mrs. Shroomlock]], are not tied to any quests at all. Bowser also gives out multiple quests, letting the player obtain them as they complete other quests. Once the player successfully completes a quest, they earn either a Gaddget or a minigame.
