Item Description

Hudson Soft's pitch must have sounded strange on paper: a digital board game starring Mario and friends, where every turn ends in a frantic minigame and a single dice roll can wreck an evening. In practice, Mario Party became the game that turned four N64 controllers into a weekly ritual, and it started a series Nintendo is still making today.

Six heroes take the field, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong, each with a board of their own. DK's Jungle Adventure, Peach's Birthday Cake, Yoshi's Tropical Island, Wario's Battle Canyon with its cannons flinging players between plateaus, Luigi's Engine Room and Mario's Rainbow Castle all play by the same rule: roll the dice, collect coins, and buy Stars from Toad before anyone else can. Finish them and Bowser's Magma Mountain and the Eternal Star open up. Bowser spaces, Chance Time and the occasional Boo heist keep the lead from ever feeling safe.

The minigames are the reason people remember it. Winners of each round take ten coins, and the variety swings from four-player free-for-alls to tense 2-on-2 and 1-on-3 contests, where allies on one minigame are back to being rivals the moment it ends. A handful of them asked players to spin the analog stick so hard and so fast that Nintendo ended up offering protective gloves, a story that has become part of N64 folklore. Solo players get Mini-Game Island, a single-player trek that runs through the game's whole catalog of challenges.

Later Mario Party games added items, duels and polish, but none of them recaptured how unfiltered this one feels. The luck is harsher, the minigames are stranger, and the comebacks are more outrageous. This original N64 cartridge is where all of it began, and for a lot of players it is still the one that brings back the loudest memories of crowded couches and stolen Stars.

About the game

Every game in the main series has a standard Party Mode in which up to four players play through a board, trying to collect as many stars as possible. In every turn, each player rolls a die and progresses on the board, which usually has branching paths. Coins are primarily earned by performing well in a minigame played at the end of each turn. On most boards, players earn stars by reaching a star space and purchasing a star for a certain amount of coins. The star space appears randomly on one of several pre-determined locations and moves every time a star is purchased, usually occupying a blue space. Every Mario Party contains at least 50 to almost 110 minigames with a few different types. Four-player games are a free-for-all in which players compete individually. In 2-on-2 and 1-on-3 minigames, players compete as two groups, cooperating to win, even though they are still competing individually in the main game. Some minigames in Mario Party are 4-player co-op, even though it doesn't say it. In most situations, winners earn ten coins each.
