The Mario Party series is a virtual board game. In which the player may choose from a cast of All-Star Mario characters, some of which have been Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and many more. Each game features variations on the cast, and storyline. The series is intended for four players, but computer controlled players may be selected as well. All the games share similar game play in which the primary objective requires the player to move his character across the selected stage to gather a Star. He must then pay a fee of 20 coins to the Host, a non-playable character. After each player has completed his/her turn, a mini-game then begins, in which the player may be awarded coins, based on their performance.

At the end of the game, Stars and other feats performed by the player will be tallied. The person with the most stars at the end of the game becomes the winner. If Stars are tied between players, other statistics will be applied. These include the amount of coins collected, mini-game victories, and so on.

The Mario Party Series amasses 10 games, across the Nintendo 64, The Gamecube, and the Wii consoles, as well as the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The Series also sports a card game. The cast of characters, character cameos, and mini-games are numerous. Thus far the series is very successful, and looks to continue its success.
