This is the best Mario Party. Just because of the unique courses and the daytime-nighttime situation. This is the first Mario Party where you can be Toadette, Toadette first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash. This is very much like 5, the capsules are the same but they got the new name of the ''orb''. This is the first microphone Mario Party, easy mini-games and easy dule mini-games. My favorite mini-game is known as: ''Insectiride;;. The one where you race on the insects. The dule mini-games are the best. This is the only M. Party to have the dule mini-games in the dark blue room. This is gaining new orbs than 5 and it has a new mini-game category called: ''Rare Mini-Games'', you unlock those in solo mode. The moon hosts all the activities on the left side of the opening board and the sun on the left. The mushroom house is hosted by both since it is party. The bowser mini-games are so easty and lame, it has the Elvin Gadd ( AKA Prof. E Gadd ) character from Luigi's Mansion and you unlock lots of cool things like the book and Toadette and a new course called Clockwork castle. ( Toadette has tio be unlocked first )

Grade: A+

Let's see.This game has the new day and night feature that the other Mario Party's didnt which is awsome.The way the boards transformed because of this was also awsome.However,some of the mini-games werent all that fun.There were a few which felt more like doing chores then playing a mini-game.There were a few that were luck based then skilled.But except those few games,this is an excellent game.But the story is really childish.The Sun and Moon get into an argument about who's better and they have to be stopped with the power of the stars.That my friends,is a really bad story.

Party on!

I am a collector and fan of all the Mario Party games for Nintendo's GameCube and N64. This one was awsome! Although my favorite mini-game, Bumper Balls, has not been seen or upgraded since the third installation the addition of games using the microphone was a good move by Nintendo. It is awkward to get used to the characters reacting to what you say, even though most of my friends yelled at their characters in previous installations only to have their wishes ignored by their characters' deafness. You will die laughing as you take on your friends in a 3 on 1 mic game.

I Hope You Got Friends

This game is best played with friends. you can play the single palyer mode which you have to unlock some of the games in order to play them in multiplayer. but yeah like i said, this is a game for people who haves friends. playing with the mic is kinda hard but it is very entertaining. this is a great game to add to your gc collection.

Best of the series so far

Back when I was younger, a great game I had on the Nintendo 64 was mario party 2. It was a fantastic game to play with friends, and it always provided a great time. Upon the purchase of a gamecube, I rented mario party 4 and 5 to find that they were a waste of my time, and I gave up on the series for a few years. I began playing more advanced games, so when I came back to the mario party series, I found it to be kiddie stuff suitable for only young children. And I was right, until I found Mario party 6.

At first,I found MP6 it to be way too stuffed with kiddie stuff, and it almost made my eyes bleed to endure all those bright colors. But once it wore off on me, I found a great little game under all of the kiddie hooplah. For those who dont know, mario party games are basically virtual board games, where the goal is to collect coins, which in turn can be used to buy stars. The player (out of 4) with the most stars in the end wins. Coins are aquired by landing on spaces on the board, or by winning one of over 80 minigames that are hosted at the end of each turn sequence.

The minigames are the best part about the game. minigame tasks range from cleaning windows, to capturing goombas, to dropping lightning bolts on your opponents while they are frantically running around on a conveyor belt. There is great variety here, but if you have ever played a mario party game, you wont find much new, in tems of gameplay. All minigames are simple enough for literally anyone to pick up and even win on their first play. This is all standard issue mario party business, but the real reason to get this one over all other mario parties is the additions to the actual board games.

The first major addition is items that you use to claim spaces, which almost always hinder opponents. the concept of claiming spaces is best used in this game and allows room for a lot of opportunity, and also makes for geat fun. Another big addition is the new boards that actually completely change the way games are played. These offer amazingly different ways to experience mario party, and help bring a freshness the series so desperately needed. Finally, the gameplay has been sped up a whole lot, cutting out a lot of boring, unneeded stuff that we got in earlier mario parties.

While the gameplay has improved greatly, there are still some issues with this game. For one thing, as mentioned before, this game is extremely kiddie. If you are used to playing games like halo, GTA, or other such games, you might want to stay clear of this game, because it is so childish, it is painful. Also, graphics are utter crap. Not that this game needs cutting edge graphics, but the low poly count of character models and generally bad effects make this game very hard to look at. lastly, and this is not really a fault, is that the game comes with a gimmicky microphone with horible voice recognition that is used in such a bad way, you might just want to disable this feature altogether so it wont ruin your otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.

So if you are thinking of buying a mario party game, this would be the one. Even though the graphics are bad and it is a little too kiddie for it's own good, there is still a lot of fun to be had, especially wih friends (in fact, it is only fun with friends). It adds enough to a great formula to warrant a purchase, and thats why I give it a 4/5

A fun new twist

The Mario Party series is great fun. This new one has an interesting new twist with the day/night differences. It's a great way to break up the monotony of the board game play between mini-games.

The microphone seems silly. My family has ended up turning off the feature and only using the controllers. We just found ourselves running around looking for it when a microphone mini-game would start. It usually fell between the couch cushions during the board game mode.

This game is great family fun and would make a wonderful gift for anyone.

a bit cool to me

People might think this is just the same as other Mario Party games, right? WRONG! There are lots of new features for this game, including Daylight Savings mode, where you can play at both day and night. The players are Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Koopa kid, Boo, Daisy, Toad, and new to the series, Toadette! (She's supposed to be Toad's girlfriend.) There is also microphone mode, where you can play all sorts of microphone mini-games, or a game show. The microphone is easy to install because it fits into the memory card slot. There's even a Star Bank where you can check out all of the cool things you've unlocked.

We received this as a Christmas present from our parents (we appreciate their effort because ours was the last one in stock) and this is likely to hold our attention throughout the hours. My little brother, my sister, and I love playing this game and we enjoy all the fun it has to offer.

Overall, 5 stars. If you enjoy our Mario Party friends, and if you can find this game, you'll surely have a phenomenal Gamecube game!

The Best Party Game DAY OR NIGHT!

The characters are fun to play with, the minigames are the greatest, and the boards are fun with the music just blending in with the whole set. This game was the second I ever bought and I was pleased with it. When I bought Mario Party 7 I was pleased with it as well, but it was just the same as this one, no change.

HERE ARE THE RAITINGS!
Stages A+
Fun A+
Minigames B+
Difficulty Stages B- (for some stages i would give a A+)
Music B+ (for some i would give an A+)
Graphics B-

I would get this party before any other party game! :)

Enjoyable and Easy

Hello! I recieved Mario Party 6 for a present in 2004. Mario Party 6 is easily better than Mario Party 4 and Mario Party 5. The game has seven game boards and over eighty mini-games. Some of the games are called "Catch you Letter", where you catch letters from the sky and deliever them to the "Shy Guy". "Grainte Getaway" is my favorite game. In this game you try to run away from a large grainte rock, trying to get through the obstacles. The games are very easy, maybe even too easy. The colors are bright and the characters are delightful and fun music. And it even includes a microphone, were you talk into the microphone! The microphone is not neccesary to play the game, but it makes it more enjoyable.

Graphics: A+

Sound: A

Control: A

Fun: B+ playing alone; A+ if you are playing with somebody else

Microphone: B

Overall: A+
