Template:Infobox Mario Party 9 is an upcoming game for the Wii. It is the fifteenth installment of the Mario Party series, the eleventh in the main series, and the second for the Wii, the first being Mario Party 8. It seems to be based heavily upon New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Gameplay

An old form of gameplay used from Mario Party Advance will be introduced in this game: players will move all at once in a car. Instead of trying to collect coins to buy stars, players receive unnamed stars if they pass by them. It is unconfirmed whether this will be a new mode or not, however, it is shown that the traditional, individual movement of characters will also be in the game. New minigames will be introduced in the Mario Party series, as well as 2 vs. 1 minigames against Bowser Jr.

Trivia

• This is the longest Mario Party game in development, having it take four years, double that of its predecessor, Mario Party 8, as it only took two.
• In the E3 2011 trailer, the players' cursors were the hands of their characters.
• The bridge tiles during the Goomba bowling mini-game are very similar to the stones in Super Mario Bros. overworld levels.
