== Mario Party DS ==
A word of advice, if you see a new character on Wikipedia, wait at least a day before adding it. It might be vandalism. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

Hmmm... you remembered what I said!{{User:Knife/sig}} 12:56, 4 August 2007 (EDT)
:Yep. I decided "Forget Wikipedia. Wait a week, it might be false." So, I had to put this notice up. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

In the movies and stuff, The players seem to be tiny. Should I make note? {{User:Max2/sig}}

On the board or in a mini-game? Board = yes. Mini-game = no.{{User:SpikeKnifeNeedleSword/sig}} 14:13, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

Um... what about the Minigame with that ham or whatever on the grill, or that one with the Giant Goombas, or the one with the giant pens... {{User:Max2/sig}} Woodya like me to go on?

Every minigame ive played has to do with them being tiny.

==Story==

I found this story somewhere, then I saw it pop up on Wikipeida, but I forget where I saw it before Wikipedia:

<tt>The game begins with a peaceful day in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, King Bowser invites everyone to Peach's castle. They accept the invite and go to the castle. There, Bowser shrinks Mario and friends to the size of chess pieces. Mario and friends must gather the power of the stars to restore themselves to normal size and defeat Bowser.</tt>

I'm not sure if it is the real story right now, could someone confirm it for me? {{User:Uniju :D/sig}}

Judging by the images and minigames and such, it seems logical. {{User:Max2/sig}}

Yeah, did you even seen the one with the giant shy guy and some rolling thing!{{User:Lario/sig}}

Hah, I just got done playing that minigame. Its a 3 on 1 minigame, where someone rolls a big thing of meat, and 3 other players have to not fall off.

Yes, Bowser & Bowser JR invite everyone to the castle for dinner, then bowser captures them and shrinks them. Pirhana board is the first one.

== Screenshots ==

You can some screenshots! It's at The Mushroom Kingdom.net!

== Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ==

The Boxart doesn't have the [[Wi-Fi Connection]] logo. Does this mean the game does not have Wi-Fi Connection? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

I dunno. Not everygame has to have Wi-Fi, you know. {{User:Max2/sig}}
:...Er, I know that. I was asking that, because the article says it has [[Wi-Fi Connection]], but the Box art says a differant story. No need to treat me like I'm a stereotype. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}
:I believe Nintendo has confirmed that it will have Wi-Fi. {{User:Plumber/Pignature}} 13:26, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

True because it says on a video connect to other people around the world {{User:Super Yoshi10/sig}}

==Baby Mario? Baby Luigi?==
A few days ago this page said they were going to be in the game is this true!?! [[User:Princess Butterfly|Princess Butterfly]] 11/5/07/


== Japan ==
Anyone live in japan?{{User:Super Yoshi10/sig}}

I just went on the japanese website......theres alot of pics but all the writing is in japanese so I don't know what there about {{User:Super Yoshi10/sig}}



No I never tried. [[User:Mariogamesrock]]

== Could be Better ==

Should we make a section about Badges? Or collectibles? I have the game, so I can do some of it.{{User:Purple Yoshi/sig}}

yeah i think we should.i can help {{User:Mrsdaisyluigi/sig}}

== Daisy's official art ==

Before we have any more reverts, what are the respective sources for either the MP7 or MP8 art to be associated with this game? - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 11:57, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
:I've only checked the Japanese site, but there this artwork is used: [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/a8tj/about/index3.html]. Hey, and now I see where the [[:Image:Mario Link portraits Captain Rainbow.png|Mario portrait]] in ''Captain Rainbow'' is from! :-D --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 13:09, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

==Images==
Ok, so what should we do? Remove or replace those images? {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

:I tried to clarify in my edits that some of the arts for this game were previously seen in previous installments so there wouldn't be any confusion. I'm thinking only the game arts <i>exclusive</i> to the game should stay. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! [[User:MeritC|User Page]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 10:23, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

:I think that ''every artwork shown on everything official about the game'' should been added. For Pete's sake, WITH a tag if it's new or not. {{User:Arend/Sig}}

== Minigame staff records ==

Should we put the staff records on the minigames that have them? {{User:Yoshiwaker47/sig}}19:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Diddy Kong ==

The artwork of [[Diddy Kong]] that this article uses is from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and besides that, is not used for this game at all. Why is it being used here? {{User:DKPetey99/sig}}
:No clue. Guess some editors wanted to fill an empty section. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:50, 6 January 2018 (EST)
::Is there no official artwork of him from this game? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 14:55, 6 January 2018 (EST)
:::There isn't. I checked [https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_MarioPartyDS_EN.pdf this manual] on Page 28. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 15:07, 6 January 2018 (EST)
::::Some of the artwork that manual and the game uses are from other games, such as [[Toadette]]'s being from ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', but there is nothing for Diddy. I don't think we should use random artwork to represent him. {{User:DKPetey99/sig}}

== I helped! ==
So, while browsing the ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' article, I noticed that there were TWO galleries! I obviously changed them to make sure everyone knows which gallery is which. You're welcome.
P.S. I hope this gets featured on [[The 'Shroom:Spotlight]]! [[User:AnimeTreehouseOfficial]]

== Gameplay ==

The statement "If the combined total dice roll for all four players for the turn is a multiple of 10, a Battle Minigame is triggered instead" is not correct. Speedrunners have noted that battles have happened on non-10 divisible totals, including in the World Record Speedrun for Story Mode. More research is needed on this. {{unsigned|170.4.50.142}}

== Chess pieces? ==

This is a stupid and trivial thing to obsess over, but this article uses a specific object comparison ("chess pieces") to refer to the sizes of the cast. It's also used in Bowser's article at one point (at least according to a Discord post I made about it in June 2023), and it's in [[History of Princess Peach]] if I'm wrong about Bowser). Yes, this question arose from a BJAODN entry[https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:BJAODN/Files_and_galleries#Gallery:Mario_Party_DS] using potato chips as the size reference and I was wondering "was this because the game referred to chess pieces at one point and then used 'potato chips' as inspiration?". But turns out, I'm not seeing any analogies to chess pieces in the box art, the manual, or in the game. Was this a MarioWiki invention or did Mario Party DS ever use that frame of reference in its promotional material? {{User:Mario/sig}} 18:48, September 13, 2024 (EDT)
