Mario Party (series)

Template:Series-infobox The Mario Party series is a virtual board game in which the player may choose from a cast of prominent Mario characters, some of which have been Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, and many more, created by Hudson Soft, with each game featuring variations on the cast and storyline. The series is intended for four players, but computer controlled players may be selected as well. All of the games share similar gameplay in which the primary objective requires the player to move his or her character across the selected stage to gather a Star. Usually, the player must then pay a fee of twenty coins to the host, a non-playable character such as Toad. After each player has completed his or her turn, a minigame then begins, in which the player may be awarded coins, based on their performance.

The original six playable characters in costumes from Mario Party 2.

At the end of the game, Stars and Bonus Stars will be tallied. The person with the most stars at the end of the game becomes the winner, or in this case, the Superstar. If Stars are tied between players, other statistics will be applied. These include the amount of coins collected, minigame victories, and so on.

The Mario Party series amasses eleven games, across the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and Wii consoles, as well as the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The series even sports a card game that works with the e-Reader peripheral. The cast of characters, character cameos, and minigames are numerous. Thus far, the series has been very commercially successful, and looks to continue its success.

Playable Characters

Playable characters are introduced in the first Mario Party. During the first two Mario Party games, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong are the only playable characters in the series. Starting in Mario Party 3, the game introduces new playable characters in debut, the new playable characters are only playable in the Party Mode; the previous new characters that appear in the next game are now playable in the Story Mode. There are some exceptions in games like Mario Party Advance and Mario Party DS do not introduce new characters.

There are some exceptions of removing playable characters in later games; Donkey Kong is removed starting in Mario Party 5 because he now owns a space called a DK Space which he hosts, although Donkey Kong is playable in the Special Duel Mode in Mario Party 5. Another playable character named Koopa Kid (Mini Bowser in PAL regions) appeared in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6; he was removed after the last appearance because he now owns a space called the Koopa Kid Space.

In the game Beach Volley Folley that appeared in Mario Party 4 and then Mario Party 5, there are exceptionally playable characters that can not be played as on the normal boards but are able to participate in this game.

The Mario Party series included many characters in various installments. Below is a list of all of them and what games they appear in.

Trivia

This trivia section is overly long. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections and articles.

• Luigi mentions the Mario Party series in his diary in the events of Paper Mario.
• The Mario Party games are mentioned in one of the Coin Block/Brick Block cards in Nintendo Monopoly. Here, the player gets $50 from every player for organizing a Mario Party in the 2006 version, and $10 in the 2010 version.
• Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi are the only characters to be playable in every Mario Party game.
• Only the very first Mario Party had minigames that involved Control Stick rotation. Because there were reports of people getting blisters on their hands from rotating the Control Stick too much, the later Mario Party titles removed those kinds of minigames.
• Koopa Kid has appeared in every Mario Party game, except since Mario Party 8. He went by the name of Baby Bowser in Mario Party 1, 2 and 3. He was replaced by Bowser Jr. in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party DS and never appeared at all in Mario Party 8.
• Goomba is the only host in Mario Party 4 who hasn't been playable in a later game. Toad was playable in Mario Party 5, Boo was also playable in Mario Party 5, Shy Guy was playable in Mario Party 9, and Koopa was also playable in Mario Party 9. This may because Goombas lack hands, making it difficult for one to participate in most of the minigames.
