Mario Party 7 is the seventh home console installment in the Mario Party series, and the final installment for the Nintendo GameCube system. In this game, Mario and the gang go vacationing on Mushroom World (to locales based off of the real world) using Peach's Cruiser. However, Bowser is not invited on the cruise and decides to cause trouble for Mario and his friends.

The game has a unique feature to allow up to eight players to join the party, with two players each sharing a controller.

Story

From the Mario Party 7 Instruction booklet:

TOADSWORTH: Oh, I say! Hello there! It's me, Toadsworth! Yes, yes, let me tell you about what happened recently. You see, Mario and his friends are always busy fighting evil and saving the world and so forth, so i offered him a chance to come on a cruise around the world! Oh ho! Splendid! But in doing so, I apparently made that rogue Bowser somewhat angry. Let me Tell you what he said...

BOWSER: "This makes me MAAAAD!! GRRRAAAA!! They're going on a vacation... AND NOT TAKING ME! They want a fun vacation? I'll give them a fun vacation! And by that, I mean NO FUN AT ALL! I'll find those chumps and wreck their good times! Bwa ha ha ha!"

TOADSWORTH: Great Kippers! That King Koopa has never been that angry! Who knows what he'll do? But chin up, old bean! We won't let him ruin our good times, right? Right!

Plot

Template:Spoiler Toadsworth has invited Mario and all his friends to go on a luxury cruise around the world. However, Toadsworth invited everyone except for one person, Bowser! Furious at being omitted, the Koopa King vows revenge. When the cruise ship arrives at its first destination, the passengers discover that Bowser has turned their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse.

The goal is to gather stars, but each board requires one to do that in a different way. For instance, people must buy a star at Pagoda Peak, if they have enough coins. In Neon Heights, one must pay coins to open a treasure box. One might find a star — or something far less desirable. Also, in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno, players may be on their way to getting a star, but end up not getting it and losing half of their coins. In Solo Cruise, some boards do not involve purchasing stars, but stealing them. Template:Endspoiler

Mini-Game Cruise

There are six ways to play mini-game cruise:

  • Volcano Peril - As the name suggests, this mode takes place in a volcano. After picking the number of victors (3, 5, 7) and the type of minigames (4-Player, 2 vs. 2, 1 vs. 3), the four characters race from some bolts. After each game, the character(s) who won rise one level. There is no penalty for losing. The first character (or team) to beat the required amount of games wins. He/they escape(s) from the volcano (by a convenient stairwell) while the others get trapped in the skeleton of a dinosaur of some sort. In the sky, a Shy Guy on an airplane flies back and forth, spewing stars made out of smoke from the back.
  • Waterfall Battle - Four characters stand on a log on a man-made waterfall. The first and second players are picked to fight against each other in a Duel Minigame. The victor stays on the log, while the loser falls from the log, bounces on some rocks and lands on a platform at the bottem of the waterfall. The winner then fights the third player, and so on and so forth. If the winner loses, the other loser(s) can rejoin the dueling. The first one to get three back-to-back victories gets "awarded" by having rainbows appear in the sky.
  • Pearl Hunt - Four characters are placed in a capsule underwater while seashells are placed around them. After beating a minigame, whoever won can select a shell. If it's a pearl with their face on it, they collect it. The first one to collect three pearls that have their image on it appears in a giant shell while the others are chased around by a shark.
  • Decathlon Castle - Play ten extreme mini-games to earn the most points.
  • King of the River (unlockable) - Solo mini-game cruise.
