'''''Mario Party DS''''' is the fourteenth installment in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the third for handheld consoles, and the only one for the [[Nintendo DS]]. This is the last ''Mario Party'' game to be developed by [[Hudson Soft]], with future entries being developed by [[Nintendo Cube]] starting in [[Mario Party 9|2012]]. This ''Mario Party'' game is unique for having the characters to be shrunken down to a very small size and competing in a "mega world" for the majority of the game. It includes more than 70 new minigames and five new game boards. Its functions include touch control, microphone control and dual-screen challenges. It is possible for up to four players to play in wireless mode using only one game card. This would be the only handheld installment to feature the traditional ''Mario Party'' gameplay and the last installment overall to feature it until ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] (which is both a home console and a handheld console) eleven years later.

''Mario Party DS'' was re-released for the [[Wii U]] through the [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] on April 21, 2016 in North America and Europe, in Australia on April 22, 2016, and in Japan on April 27, 2016. It is the third and final ''Mario Party'' game to be rereleased for the Wii U's Virtual Console; the others being ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''.

==Story==
[[File:MPDS SkyCrystal.png|thumb|150px|Mario seeing a Sky Crystal fall from the sky]]
'''From the instruction booklet:'''<ref>Screenshot of ''Mario Party DS'' North American manual, page 4. https://i.imgur.com/Gxpl1xd.png</ref>
<blockquote>The Mario crew's adventure begins late one night when five Sky Crystals fall to earth. Mario finds one, then shows it to all of his friends!

Just then there's another surprise. Bowser sends party invitations to the whole crew: "Hey, chumps! I'm throwing a Big Bowser Bash to apologize for being such a big jerk!"

Of course, they're all suspicious! But free eats can't be beat, so everyone goes to Bowser's Castle to get first crack at the snacks. And, of course, it's a trap! Bowser steals the Sky Crystal, then shrinks everyone with his new Minimizer. So tiny in such a big world!

Bowser doesn't want Mario and company in the way, since he has four more Sky Crystals to find. So he flings them to the far side of the kingdom!

And there our party begins, with our wee heroes lost in a world full of gigantic challenges...</blockquote>

One night in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], five [[Sky Crystal]]s in the sky fall to the land. One falls near [[Mario]], who explains it to his friends the next day. Suddenly, [[Kamek]] flies overhead the gang, dropping invitations to a feast in [[Bowser's Castle]] to apologize for his bad behavior. Unintentionally, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] get invitations as well.

Curious, the crew sets off for the castle, but upon their arrival, they find it was a trick as [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] drop a cage on Mario and his friends when they enter. With the group trapped, Bowser steals Mario's Sky Crystal then uses a magic wand called the [[Minimizer]] to shrink them all down to the size of chess pieces, and they are thrown out to a distant location by Kamek. With Mario and company out of the way, this leaves Bowser to look for the four remaining Sky Crystals in peace. Displeased by the outcome, the gang wakes up outside and decides to head for the castle to settle the score with Bowser. The desire to be the one Superstar that defeats Bowser and his cronies causes Mario and his other seven friends to pit themselves against each other for the title along the way.

[[File:Characters caged MPDS opening.png|thumb|150px|Bowser drops a cage on Mario and friends.]]
At the beginning of their journey, [[Wiggler]] begs the crew for help, as a [[Piranha Plant]] has infested [[Wiggler's Garden|his garden]]. The Piranha Plant is eventually defeated by the character who becomes the Superstar, leading to Wiggler rewarding them with a Sky Crystal that landed in his garden.

Soon after, [[Toadette]] finds and requests the group to defeat a [[Hammer Bro]] that was abusing her instruments in her [[Toadette's Music Room|music room]]. The Hammer Bro is defeated in a drum-off by the Superstar, and Toadette gives a Sky Crystal she found to the gang as her thanks.

Afterwards, they set off for the jungle, where they find Diddy Kong, who shows the heroes that Donkey Kong was turned to [[DK's Stone Statue|stone]] by a [[Dry Bones]]. The Superstar manages to defeat Dry Bones in his arena, leading to Donkey Kong's restoration and Diddy Kong rewarding them with a Sky Crystal he found. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong quickly recall the free food promised at Bowser's Castle, and eagerly head off towards the castle.

Upon nearing the castle, the crew find a [[Koopa (Mario Party DS)|Koopa Troopa]] from [[Kamek's Library|a library]] asking for help, as Kamek has trapped his grandfather, [[Koopa Krag]], in one of his library books. The Superstar defeats Kamek at the end of a long hallway, and Koopa Krag is freed from the book, giving them a Sky Crystal as thanks.

Eventually, they reach Bowser's Castle, where they are promptly stuffed in a [[Bowser's Pinball Machine|pinball machine]] by Bowser and Bowser Jr., the latter using it to mess with them. The one revealed to be the Superstar is taken from the pinball machine to be shrunk again and crushed by Bowser, but Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong arrive, the former unintentionally smashing the Minimizer by knocking it out of Bowser's hands and stepping on it afterwards, the actions reverting the playable characters back to their original states.

[[File:MPDS group ending.png|thumb|150px|left|The cast enjoys a game of Triangle Twisters.]]
Reluctant to give up, Bowser reveals one more surprise: the [[Megamorph Belt]]. The device transforms Bowser into [[Blockhead Bowser]], and the aforementioned Superstar does battle with him. Upon Bowser's defeat, Bowser and his son are tied up, Mario taking back the final Sky Crystal he initially found from them. Now in close proximity of each other, they are magically formed together to make a crystal DS, allowing play of [[Triangle Twisters]], the fun challenge mentioned by Bowser, whose desire to have the Sky Crystals being to try the fun challenge. After hearing this, Mario decides to untie the two, and they all play Triangle Twisters together, thus ending the story. Nearby, it is revealed that Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have eaten the entire feast by themselves, being quite satisfied.

==Gameplay==
[[File:MPDS Story Map.png|200px|thumb|left|Each of the boards in Story Mode.]]
Unlike other handheld ''Mario Party'' games, ''Mario Party DS'' features the same gameplay style as the series' home console entries. Up to four players take turns to roll a [[Dice Block]] that shows numbers from 1-10, which decides how far players move across boards. The goal is to acquire the most [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] through the conditions decided on each of the boards. After all players have had their turn, the type of [[minigame]] is determined by what color space the player lands on (red or blue). If the player landed on a green, duel or friend space, the player's color is randomly red or blue. Landing on a Bowser space results in the player's color turning red. For instance, if one player lands on a red space while three other players land on a blue space, a 1 vs. 3 minigame is held, with the red player on the solo side and the three players on the other side. The players then engage in a minigame, and whoever wins the minigame earns 10 coins.

When a Battle Minigame occurs, all players pay a certain number of Coins into a "pot" before the minigame, with any players who have insufficient Coins only paying what they have on them. After the minigame, each player gets back 65, 30, 5, or 0 percent of the Coins in the pot, depending on where they rank in the minigame. If the Coins cannot be divided up equally, the leftovers are awarded to a random player. The number of Coins a player must pay is determined by the formula [current turn number × 2]; for example, if the Battle Minigame is triggered in Turn 7, all players must pay 14 Coins.

The turn ends afterward, the process repeating until the set number of turns have passed. The game ends once the set number of turns have passed, and the total number of Stars and coins the players have collected are tallied, Stars being the primary factor for rankings while coins are the tie-breakers. 

When there are five turns remaining, Bowser helps the player who is in last place in an event called the [[Last Five Turns Event#Mario Party DS|Final 5 Frenzy]]. That player is given a prize determined by spinning a roulette. For the remaining five turns, all [[Friend Space]]s are changed to [[Duel Space]]s. 

At the end of a Party Mode game, [[Bonus Star]]s may be rewarded to the players who have excelled the most at certain criteria. If there is a tie between three or less players, the Stars are awarded to all of the tied players. Three of these six bonuses are chosen at random:
*Mini-Game Star - Awarded to the players who have won the most minigames.
*Green Star - Awarded to the players who have landed on the most ? Spaces.
*Running Star - Awarded to the players who have moved the most spaces using [[Dice Block]]s.
*Item Star - Awarded to the players who used the most items.
*Hex Star - Awarded to the players who laid down the most hexes.
*Friendship Star - Awarded to the players who landed on the most Friend Spaces.

===Spaces===
{{content description
|image1=[[File:MPDSBlueSpace.png]]
|name1='''[[Blue Space]]'''
|description1=The most common space, the Blue Space gives players three coins if they land on it. There is also a small chance of a [[Hidden Block (Mario Party series)|Hidden Block]] appearing. It gives their section in the heads up display a blue color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames.
|image2=[[File:MPDSRedSpace.png]]
|name2='''[[Red Space]]'''
|description2=A fairly common space, the Red Space takes three coins from players that land on it. It gives their section in the heads up display a red color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames.
|image3=[[File:MPDSHappSpace.png]]
|name3='''[[Event Space|Green Space]]'''
|description3=This space causes certain events to happen that can benefit the player, harm the player, benefit a number of players, or harm a number of players. It gives the player's section in the heads up display a green color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames. In this case, the green color eventually flashes to red or blue.
|image4=[[File:MPDSFriendSpace.png]]
|name4='''[[Friend Space]]'''
|description4=When they land on this space in Battle Royale, players can select one opponent to be a friend. Both then receive 5 coins. In Team Battle, the player and one of the two opponents get 5 coins. It gives the player's section in the heads up display a green color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames.
|image5=[[File:MPDSDuelSpace.png]]
|name5='''[[Duel Space]]'''
|description5=Engages with an opponent of the player's choice into a duel minigame. The winner gets to use a roulette that determines the reward from the opponent. It gives the player's section in the heads up display a green color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames. It replaces the Friend Space in the [[Last Five Turns Event|Final 5 Frenzy]].
|image6=[[File:MPDSBowserSpace.png]]
|name6='''[[Bowser Space]]'''
|description6=Any players that land here causes Bowser to arrive. Bowser causes a series of events that harms usually whoever landed on the space. It gives their section in the heads up display a red color, which is used to determine pairings in minigames. Bowser can cause these events:
*'''Gimme Coins!:''' The player gives 20 coins to Bowser.
**If the player does not have 20, Bowser takes 10 coins away instead.
**If the player has less than 10 coins, Bowser takes all of the player's coins anyway.
*'''Gimme Stars!:''' Bowser takes one star from the player.
*'''Gimme Charity!:''' Bowser forces the player to give 10 coins to all opponents.
**In Battle Royale, the player loses a total of 30 coins. If less than 30, the highest amount divisible by three would be the basis (depending on how many coins the player has that can be given out to the other players equally).
**In Duel and Team Battle, 10 Coins is all the player has to give away. If less than 10, the player has to forfeit all coins.
*'''Gimme Equality!:''' Bowser redistributes every player's coins so they all have the same amount. This is the only event that can potentially benefit the player.
|image7=[[File:MPDS Star Space.png]]
|name7='''[[Star Space]]'''
|description7=Once players reach this space, they can pay 20 coins to receive a Star. Other boards may have different conditions players need to fulfill to earn a Star. Unlike other spaces, this space cannot be landed on (unless a Star spawns directly on a player), and this space does not subtract from the dice roll.

===Items===
[[File:ItemShopMPDS.png|thumb|The [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] of ''Mario Party DS'']]
Alongside normal items seen in earlier ''Mario Party'' console titles, ''Mario Party DS'' introduces a new type of item that is also used during board gameplay: [[Hex]]es. The normal items are most often acquired through purchase at an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]], and may be used by players to gain an advantage. Alternatively, Hexes can be found only at [[Hex Area]]s and can be placed on the board to usually hinder the player who lands on the space where it was set. Each player may only carry three items/hexes at one time.

====Normal items====
''Mario Party DS'' is the first ''Mario Party'' game to have standard items since ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. These items function like (and are based on) the standard items from the first four installments in the series. They can be bought at shops on each board, run by a Monty Mole. In addition, for the first time in the series, players can purchase more than one item in one stop.

}}

====Hexes====
{{main|Hex}}
Hexes are items that typically act as traps when placed on spaces, similarly to [[Character Space]]s from previous ''Mario Party'' titles. They only obtainable by passing through a [[Hex Area]]. Most Hexes negatively affect the character who lands on it (unless they are its owner), but the Coin Block and Star Block allow for anyone to gain coins or stars respectively. Hexes can be replaced by other hexes, and they expire after being landed on.

==Modes==
===Story Mode (1 Player)===
A single-player mode that follows the storyline of the game. It puts the player through the five [[Board (Mario Party series)|board]]s of the game, requiring them to win a Battle Royal on each board and defeat the [[List of bosses|boss]] of it in a [[minigame]] to progress. CPU characters are chosen at random, each board lasts for 10 turns, and [[Bonus Star]]s are not awarded. If a CPU player wins the board, they attempt to face the boss, but lose, and the player has to play the board again. If the player and a CPU are tied for 1st place, the player wins. Completing the mode unlocks the expert difficulty for CPU players.

===Party Mode (1-4 Players)===
The main mode of the game, where the player competes against several human-controlled or computer-controlled players on a party board in either a Battle Royale, Tag Battle or Duel Battle.

===Minigame Mode (1-4 Players)===
A mode where the player can play six games that use the pool of minigames available in a variety of challenges that don’t take place on the game boards, those being Free Play, Step It Up, [[Battle Cup]], [[Score Scuffle]], [[Boss Bash]] and [[Rocket Rascals]]. The player can pit themselves against up to three other human-controlled players in the Multiplayer version of this mode.

====Step It Up====
{{quote|Be first to reach the top of the steps! Minigame victories get you there!|In-game description|Mario Party DS}}
[[File:Mario Party DS - Step It Up.png|thumb|215px|Step It Up in ''Mario Party DS'']]
Step It Up is a minigame competition playable only by four players. The aim of this challenge is to see who can be the first to win 3, 5 or 7 minigames, depending on the options chosen, and after each minigame played the characters who win the minigame get to climb one step of the staircase. Minigames are chosen randomly, and the first player to win 3, 5, or 7 minigames wins the mode. This contest is a reincarnation of a competition that has appeared in previous installments in the [[Mario Party (series)|series]].

The player can choose to play only 4-player, 1-vs-3 and 2-vs-2 minigames, or a randomized mix of all three. For 1-vs-3 and 2-vs-2 minigames, teams are chosen at random each time when the player chooses the random minigame type setting, unless the player specifically chooses either minigame type, where the teams would be decided at the start of the competition.

====Battle Cup====

{{quote|Welcome to Battle Cup! In Battle Cup, you'll play five preselected [[minigame]]s in order... And whoever wins the most of them is the victor!|Narrator|[[Mario Party DS]]}}
Battle Cup is a minigame competition playable only by four players. The objective is to win as much of the Cup Course, a collage of five consecutive minigames that the human player either selects manually or lets the game choose five randomly, as possible. Despite only 4-player and Battle minigames being playable in this contest, multiple victors are allowed at the end of each minigame, however, ties between all four players result in no one getting the minigame win. If multiple players end up winning the most minigames at the end of the Cup Course, the players roll [[Dice Block]]s to decide the real winner, the highest roller being declared the winner.

{{quote|Welcome to Score Scuffle! In Score Scuffle, you'll blast through 10 minigames. Results will be converted to points. The player with the highest final score wins!|Narrator|[[Mario Party DS]]}}
Score Scuffle is a minigame competition playable only by four players. The players play ten specific minigames consecutively, converting the results for each player to points after each minigame and adding it to each player's current score. The player with the most points after the ten minigames is the winner. The highest amount a player can get in a minigame is 1000 points, with the exception of [[Get the Lead Out]] (whose highest amount is 999 points). As such, the maximum amount of points a player can have after the ten minigames is 9,999 points. The default high score for Score Scuffle is 0 points.

The minigames and the order in which they are played are as follows:
*[[Rail Riders]]
*[[Domino Effect]]
*[[Cherry-Go-Round]]
*[[Study Fall]]

{{quote|Welcome to Boss Bash! You're going to battle five bosses! How quickly can you defeat them? Bash them fast to win!|Narrator|[[Mario Party DS]]}}
Boss Bash is a single-player minigame challenge, where the player must face in the following order: the [[Piranha Plant]], the [[Hammer Bro]], the [[Dry Bones]], [[Kamek]] and [[Bowser]] in their respective boss minigames. The aim is to do so as quickly as possible to try and beat the current best times, as the minigames are timed in this challenge. If the player is defeated in any of the minigames, the challenge ends and the times for minigames the player did beat are not recorded. The default best times for the five bosses are 5:00:00, while the default overall best time is 25:00:00.

The boss minigames played and the order they are played are as follows:
*[[Feed and Seed]]
*[[Hammer Chime]]
*[[Hexoskeleton]]
*[[Book Bash]]
*[[Bowser's Block Party]]

====Rocket Rascals====
[[File:Rocket Rascals.png|thumb|Rocket Rascals]]
{{quote|Welcome to Rocket Rascals! Reach the rocket first! Build a bridge to the center before your rivals do!|Narrator|[[Mario Party DS]]}}
Rocket Rascals is a four-player minigame competition. The players must win minigames to acquire and place bridge pieces on the square 5x5 grid. The first to make a path from their corner of the grid to the rocket with the bridge parts is the winner. If multiple players have paths to the rocket made at the same time by a third party, the players roll [[Dice Block]]s to decide who actually wins, the highest roller winning. If one of the multiple players finished the bridge, then the one who did wins without a Dice Block roll. Additionally, the game ends in a tie if 20 turns pass without anyone making a route to the rocket.

At the start of each turn, a roulette randomly decides which bridge piece is up for grabs in the next minigame, which gets decided by a minigame roulette. The player who wins the minigame gets the previously shown bridge piece and can place it on any unoccupied space of the 5x5 grid, and the turn ends afterwards, the cycle repeating until someone makes a path to the rocket. If the minigame ends with multiple winners, or if nobody wins, nobody gets the piece. If a player has all ways of reaching the rocket prevented for them, the blocking pieces are removed.

Occasionally, [[Bowser Jr.]] may show up after a bridge part is decided and does one of the following, as decided through a roulette spin:
*'''Crosspiece Crisis:''' Every minigame, the player plays for a Crosspiece.
*'''Turnaround  Madness:''' Bowser Jr. scatters the pieces in different areas.
*'''Tiebreaker Trouble:''' Bowser Jr. gets to choose where to place the piece if a tie occurs.
*'''Bridge Breaker:''' Bowser Jr. takes away all the pieces up to that point, making everyone start again from scratch.
*'''Final 5 Frenzy:''' The game is skipped to the last five turns.

==Minigames==
{{main|List of Mario Party DS minigames}}
''Mario Party DS'' features 73 minigames (71 in the Korean version, as two minigames, [[Shuffleboard Showdown]] and [[Chips and Dips]], were removed possibly because of the gambling themes present in both of them) from seven different categories. There are 32 4-player minigames (29 of which are also Duel minigames), 12 1-vs-3 minigames (11 in the Korean version), 13 2-vs-2 minigames (three of which are also Duel minigames), 32 Duel minigames (29 of which are 4-player minigames and three of which are 2-vs-2 minigames), five Battle minigames (four in the Korean version), five Boss minigames and six Puzzle minigames. Of these, 58 are unique, 4 are minigames with the goal of collecting coins, and 11 are specialized. This is the last ''Mario Party'' game to feature a specific Battle minigame category, as Free-For-All (4-Player) minigames would be used instead in later installments.

==Reception==
Critical reception of the game was generally mixed to positive, garnering a 72 on Metacritic and 72.17% on GameRankings. Many critics praised the game as a major improvement over ''Mario Party Advance'' and ''Mario Party 8'', the latter which was released the same year, and was praised for returning to the traditional gameplay from the console games and its multiplayer, graphics, minigames, and board designs. Criticism tended to focus on its perceived similarity to the previous games and its absence of online multiplayer.

|"''Mario Party DS is an outright blast when played with other people, and since you need only one cartridge to enjoy everything, the odds are good that you'll be able to entice your DS-owning friends to play with you. As a solo endeavor, challenging the computer opponents does get old eventually. However, between all of the different minigames, play modes, and puzzle games, it'll be a while before you condemn the cartridge to your storage shelf.''"

|Ellie Gibson, [https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/mario-party-ds-review Eurogamer]
|4/10
|"''Decent visuals and bonus puzzle games aren't enough to make Mario Party DS worth a purchase. It suffers from the same problems as the other games in the series. The mini-games, on the whole, are badly designed and boring. Watching other players take turns round the board is tedious. Even if you win every single mini-game, the stupid star system means you could still lose overall. It would seem there are plenty of gamers who are happy to put up with all this, however - after all, Nintendo wouldn't keep churning out Mario Parties if people didn't keep buying them. If you're one of those who has enjoyed the series on console, you'll enjoy it on DS. Otherwise, steer clear.''"

|7/10
|"''After ten years of playing board games with mini-games, it's honestly very difficult to get excited for yet another Mario Party; even though it's the first time it's been made for the Nintendo DS system. What's here is a solid multiplayer mini-game experience with a lot of the flaws of the previous versions. It doesn't do anything truly special than create a bunch of touch screen and microphone-centric minigames (and even then we've seen variations of them in other DS titles), but it at least comes together as a better title than the last console Mario Party design.''"

==Staff==
{{main|List of Mario Party DS staff}}
''Mario Party DS'' was worked on by both [[Hudson Soft]] and Group No. 4 of the [[Nintendo SPD]]. Its game, planning, program, visual, sound and senior directors were Kouji Matsuura, Yuka Sasaki, Hideki Nishmoto, Akhiro Shibata, Ichiro Shimakura and Kenji Kikuchi respectively. Satoru Iwata and Hidetoshi Endo were the game's executive producers.

During the credits the eight playable characters run into view periodically. The player can tap on the characters once they've run into full view on the Touch Screen with the stylus to make the tapped character jump, and can continue to do so for the remainder of the credits.

==Pre-release and unused content==
[[File:Beta Toad.jpg|thumb|"X"s in Coin and Star totals and gold colored number gains/losses]]
Players used to have their own boxes at the top screen that have the "X" in the Coins storage and the Stars storage. In the final version, it was removed, because Coins can reach over 100. Also, the color used for the numbers that appear after earning or losing [[coin]]s/[[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s were gold instead of blue or red.

A debug menu can be accessed through Action Replay codes. The debug menu is displayed in the touch screen.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|url=tcrf.net/Mario_Party_DS/Debug_Menu|title=Mario Party DS debug menu|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=May 21, 2024}}</ref>

==Trivia==

*This is the last Nintendo-published ''Super Mario'' game to use the [[:File:Nintendo - Obsolete logo.svg|signature red Nintendo logo]] on the cover/packaging.
**Despite this, the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' uses the red logo for the packaging, making its last appearance in a ''Super Mario'' release overall.
*The North American manual has a mistake on Page 27. It states that during a 2 Player game (the player vs a CPU opponent or another player) in Free Play, only Battle or Boss minigames can be chosen. In reality, during a 2 Player match in Free Play, only Duel and Boss minigames can be chosen. This was fixed in the European manual.
*''Mario Party DS'' was the subject of [[List of rumors and urban legends#Mario_Party_DS_anti-piracy_measures|a 2020 internet hoax regarding an alleged anti-piracy screen]]. No files pertaining to anti-piracy measures are found in ''Mario Party DS''.
