Template:Redirectshere Template:Infobox Mario Party 2 is the sequel to the original Mario Party for the Nintendo 64. Mario and the gang are fighting for the rights for a new amusement park, and whoever defeats Bowser gets the place named after them.

The objective is easy and similar to the previous Mario Party: obtain stars and defeat Bowser. This game introduces the first use of collectible items in Mario Party's history. (The first game had items, but they simply added optional rules or game modes to the game.) Each board has its own tricks and turns. The playable characters, as well as Bowser, wear different outfits based on the theme of the board.

Players can no longer lose coins in normal mini-games. Battle, Item, and Duel mini-games are introduced in Mario Party 2. Battle Mini-games give every player a chance to win 70% of the stocked Jackpot taken from players (usually a set amount). The top two get a 70/30 share, while the bottom two get nothing; a leftover coin is given randomly.

Story

The intro to Mario Party 2.
The cast argues over what to call their new land.

The game opens on a stage where Toad comes out to welcome guests and introduce the story of the play.

One day Mario and friends decide to create a new world. They name this new world Mario Land. But Wario is unhappy with that name, and introduces his own name; Wario Land. An argument breaks out on what to call this new world. Peach suddenly interupts the group claiming she has a name they can all agree on. She reveals her name to be Peach Land and the characters double over in irony. As the group continues to argue, a sinister event is taking place on the other side of the unnamed world.

The intro to Mario Party 2.
Bowser invades Mario Land.

Bowser has set his sights on this new land, and quickly begins invading it. A lone Koopa arrives to warn the group about Bowser's plans. However, since they are fighting they do not hear him. Toad then gets everyone's attention by saying whoever can beat Bowser will have the new land named after them. The cast quickly runs off to defeat Bowser and claim their prize.

Bowser is defeated.

The story then takes the characters across six lands ending in Bowser Land. Bowser meets the group in a showdown showing his Metal Bowser power up and claims he is invincible. The character (depending on who won the board) then fights bowser and with the power of the stars, is able to throw him into orbit.

The game then resumes to the stage format with Mario and friends triumphantly standing over a defeated Bowser. Toad exclaims that they live in peace in the new Mario Land. (Which does not change depending on the character). The curtain falls and each character comes out for one final bow.
