MSS Sea Star
- “Hop on the luxury liner MSS Sea Star and choose a cruise! Capital!”
- —Toadsworth, Mario Party 7
The MSS Sea Star is a cruise ship featured in Mario Party 7. Toadsworth offers Mario and his friends a trip around the world on the Sea Star itself. Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Ukikis work on the ship. The top of the ship bears a resemblance to Peach's Castle. The MSS Sea Star is basically the hub area, and it has the following cruises:
- Party Cruise: The player can freely play a party board with four players, either CPU players or other players using a Nintendo GameCube Controller, or even play with two or four teams (the controls are different with eight players).
- Solo Cruise: The player can play against a single player using a GameCube controller or a CPU player. Playing against a computer player acts as the story mode of the game, where the player can unlock the board Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!
- Deluxe Cruise: The player can use the Chop Chop Helicopter to play 8-Player minigames with other players or CPUs. When the game is played with eight players, the controls are different.
- Minigame Cruise: The player can play minigames via the Free Play Sub with CPUs or other players, or play special games such as Waterfall Duel. A single player can also play King of the River if it is purchased and the player has the required minigames.
- Duty-Free Shop: The player can use Cruise Mileage Points to buy certain items or listen to the game's soundtrack.
- Control Room: The player can change or adjust their settings anytime in here, like enabling the Microphone or setting the controller to vibrate.
