The Mini-Game Stadium interior.

The Mini-Game Stadium is a game mode in Mario Party and Mario Party 2.

In "Mario Party" it is inside the Pot O'Skills within the Mini-Game House. Players take turns moving around the board but unlike regular boards there are no stars with winners and losers determined by the number of coins they have collected by the end of the game. The board is yellow with a picture of Mario's face at the center. It is star shaped with only blue spaces along the sides and red spaces at the tips. The stadium itself is a concrete octagonal structure with a single deck filled with various Mario characters as fans. The grounds surrounding the board has grass turf and statues of the six playable characters and Toad. A couple of Toads and Koopa Troopa look on from the sidelines as well.

In "Mario Party 2" it appears as an unlockable in Mini-game Land. It is unlocked by buying at least 3 4-Player, 2-vs-2, and 1-vs-3 mini-games. There are three sub-modes in the Mini-Game Stadium. Each is unlocked one after the other. Mini-Game Battle is the default mode and is a battle of mini-games and the player who wins three, five, or seven mini-games is the winner. Then Mini-Game Trial or Mini-Game Duel can be unlocked. Mini-Game Duel is unlocked when the first five Duel Mini-Games have been played. Mini-Game Trial is unlocked by playing a certain number of Mini-Game Battles. When all Mini-games possible have been played - including those in the Mini-Game Stadium, the Mini-Game Coaster is unlocked.
