Why you should get Mario Party 6...

Like Halo, the value of this game lies in MULTIPLAYER. Mario Party 6 builds upon the style and mechanics of its predecessors by offering furious four-player fun rooted in board game mechanics. It has over 80 mini-games and 7 boards! The new additions in Mario Party 6 include day and night cycles, new characters and mini-games, and of course, the new microphone. Two of the new characters, named Brighton (a sun) and Twila (a crescent moon) get into a heated debate over who's better. The dispute creates a day/night dichotomy that comes into play whenever playing on any of the six game boards. When you're ready to play, a pop-up book springs open and highlights your options. Party Mode is where you'll find the different board games, which you can play solo or with friends. Instead of just collecting stars, though, each board features different objectives. Again, this game is a lot better in mulitplayer than playing by yourself.

Microphone:
Some mini-games let one player issue commands with the microphone while the others play with their controllers. (not really neccesary imo)

Party Time!!!

Everytime the newest insallment of Mario Party comes out we run out and buy it as soon as possible. This time it's even better than ever. With a few added goodies, like the mic makes it even more fun. We tested it and tried the mic games, it works great, recognized everything we said (unless we said it in a silly voice) Just speak clear, not even loud just a whisper worked, and you'll be fine.

We're so excited and can't wait to go play with a group of friends, like someone said that's the highlight of the game, the multiplayer. Too fun!! Everyone, even people who don't normally play video games will LOVE it! Alot of imagination goes into this series, each time with fresh, new mini games.
Which I believe there are quite a few of, so you wouldn't be seeing the same one twice for awhile.

If you love fun filled games you can play with your friends, get this you won't regret it. Kids and adults will have a blast, it's a wonderful, colorful, cute, and creative game that doesn't grow old. Watch out or you'll stay up all night playing!

Nintendo has really been making some of the biggest strides with oneof the most beloved mascots of all time, Mario. Since his breakout in the 1980's, he has been the most popular characters to have ever made it onto the video game scene. While many games and their systems have all come and gone, the variety Nintendo has pulled off with this plumber has been absolutely amazing. That also has gone the same way with the Mario Party game series as well. It has really made the feelings of mini-games, and the use of interactive boards as a popular tool for all games alike, and the latest in the series makes that case ever more known than before.

Mario Party 6, for the Nintendo Gamecube picks up a better game than it was earlier. This has a amazing amount of video games to try out, and play to your heart desires. There are also several great modes like the welcomed Party Mode, for fantastic multi-player action, and a solo mode that you can play to unlock fantastic games, and try games that you've never played before. The graphics are beautiful, and really live up to the game very nicely. There are so many kinds of games to play, like Odd Card Out, Catch You Letter, and other great games. The system also includes a microphone which is really only useful in 5 games in total. The controls are also really very easy to pick-up on with all the games, and a little bit of practice as well. Yet, it is not really worth it for just one player, so get a partner to join in on the party.

Mario Party 6 is really one of the best Nintendo Gamecube games out there right now. This is purely a must have for all gamers alike. I really suggest this one if you are a gamecube owner. It is just a very fun and challenging game.

Graphics: A

Sound: B+

Control: A-

Fun & Enjoyment: B 1/2+ if you're playing solo; A if you are playing with somebody else

Microphone: B+

Overall: A 1/2-

This microphone will be AWESOME!

I went to nintendo and asked them about Mario Party 6. They replied to me that the microphone will be to control the characters within the minigames. I CAN'T WAIT! I am DEFINATELY getting this of my mom's birthday (the day it comes out). It even has a new day/night system (I was informed by Nintendo) where new characters come out @ night. Plus, I asked if they would put in Toadette. Look who's on the cover. (Not to brag, it's just kinda cool.) I can't WAIT until the game comes out. No time to wait for Christmas...

Nintendo has done it again for the 6th time...

Hello. I have every single Mario Party Game, and they all ROCK! I like "Avalanche" in #4, "Frightmare" in #5, and every single minigame in #1,2,3,4,&5. But #6 is different. With the all new day & night feature, the Shine Sprite minigame, and, I can't forget, the all new microphone controller. Plus, they added my favorite character. Toadette! Whoever wrote that one reveiw where they asked to put Toadette on the game, THANKS! Even though I don't believe that they did it because of you. If only one of the ratings was infinity stars, I'd give it that. The graphics on the game are STATE OF THE ART! Plus, the story mode is SOOOOO mush better than #5. You settle the differences between two places. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, should go without this awesome game...

Oh,yeah!I'm ready to party!

This game looks awsome!In fact,it's #1 on my Christmas list.I think the Gamecube Mic will get a lot of attention.The story of the game sounds cool.Also the night and day system is cool.Nintendo.com said that in the game you can earn Stars(no,not in Party Mode) and spend them to get new sound opions,pages to a pop-up Magic book,and the 6th board!So I REALLY can not wait for this.

After playing this for a while now...

I purchased this when it first came out and have to say out of 4, 5, and 6, this is the best. Unique twists of earning stars (storing them in a Star Bank after each game) to uncover hidden characters, hidden mic games, and even an extra party board, make the game fun to continue playing to discover what new adventures you can run into later.
The Solo Mode I found entertaining. There are three short boards you clear one at a time, earning coins, which are converted to stars, along the way. You can select from Easy, Normal, Hard, and earn stars to continue to Harder and Extreme (I believe the hardest is called that). In addition, it allows you to select a computer player to help you with 2 vs 2 games in the Solo Mode. By the way, ALL types of games are played in solo, even battle and duel.
I found the twist of changing the board and mini games slightly, an interesting addition. DK spaces at day, usually turn into Bowser spaces at night, some minigames are slightly different at night than at day, etc.
All in all, I highly recommend the game to those that have liked any Mario Party. Go ahead, give it a try.

The best mario party game ever!

Best Mario Party of the 6

I found 6 to be the best of all of them. Once Mario Party moved to the GameCube console, it was pretty poor. 4 was just bad. 5 was better. But 6 has all of the best aspects of the previous games. The capsules are much better than 4 or 5. You can either get them for free or go to a Capsule Shop and buy them. The boards are interactive and changing. the day/night change adds an interesting side. you save up stars to buy secrets and taunts. and the mini-games are of course awesome.

Some helpful advice if wondering where story mode went....

The first thing I have to say is that this game is perfect accept for one important game mode. That mode is Story Mode. Sure playing Party Mode with your friends is really fun but what if all of your friends don't come and play the game with you. Then Mario Party6 gets boring really fast. It gets boring fast because when your alone you would usually play story mode by yourself. Don't get me wrong, this game isn't bad because it dosen't have a story mode. There's a solution to that, and the solution would be to have one of your friends spend the night at your house and you would play team party mode. You and your friend be on teams aginst two other computers and play a game of party mode and win aginst them. That would be an easy and fun way to have a substitute story mode. If you're reading this I hope it helped you with the story mode problem. Thanks for reading my review!
