Mario Party 5

Mario and his friends are trying to restore peace to Dream Depot by racing around a collection of all-new game boards on their quest to collect stars. The second GameCube installment in the multiplayer series that began on N64, Mario Party 5 now sports 3D boards, more than 70 new mini-games, more playable characters, and a new single-player story mode that cuts down on wait time. Players can also compete in mini-game tournaments against friends or the CPU, assemble machines and do battle in the Super Duel Mode and test their mettle in three bonus modes: Card Party, Beach Volleyball and Ice Hockey.

Change the location of event spaces on the virtual game board to get a leg up on your competition and race to collect more stars than anyone else.

Duke it out in new duel, traditional or everyone-vs.-Bowser mini-games.

Have fun with everyone's favorite characters, as well as some new ones debuting in their first Mario game.

View the game board with ease and get back to the game faster with the new 3-D maps.

Compete against the Koopa Kid Brigade--a trio of Koopa Kids who take their turns simultaneously, cutting down significantly on the wait time and letting everyone get back to the action more quickly.

Win mini-game competitions to collect coins and reach stars that are randomly placed on the game boards. Collect the most stars and coins to win a game board. Beat all the game boards and win the game!
