Join Mario & friends and play in this fun arcade board game and decide who’s going to be the next Super Star in Mario Party! There are a total of 50 different mini games you can play in Mario Party that was released for the Nintendo 64. Now you can play it online. The mini-games are the Mario Party features that most take advantage of the title not being set on a flat plate of cardboard. You enter at the end of each round or by landing on marked spaces on the board. The games come in various shapes and sizes and in configurations of every player against the others, two vs. two, or three against one. Of the 50 in all, the most noteworthy examples are probably the Bobsled Run (which is reminiscent of the snow race in Super Mario 64, but with two characters sharing a sled), Face Lift (you try to drag around a mushed face a la Super Mario 64’s intro), Mario Bandstand (a distant cousin of Parappa the Rapper), Lava Boardin’ (you race down a collapsing platform and jump over obstacles), and Cash Bash (one player is dressed up as Bowser, and the others hit him with hammers and steal his coins). Some are skill based, while many require button mashing or joystick twirling. The winner or winners gain coins, while the losers pay out or just leave with what they came into the game with – nothing more, nothing less.
