This game is really fun. My friend hated Mario Party and I turned him onto it, and he WWWWOOONNNN!! Also, three new characters take the boards like Toad, Koopa Kid, and Boo!! There is over 65 new mini-games including super-duel mode!!! There is alot more items to, but you don't just buy them like in Mario Party 4, you get them out of a capsule machine. The stars are pretty easy to get sometimes but you'll have fun on the WAY!!

The Phattest Game Ever

This game is the coolest game for your Gamecube. I would highly reccomend it. This game provides fun for up to four players. This is the best game Nintendo has ever sold. You should definately buy it.

Luv this game!

This is one of the best gamecube games i have ever played. Its a blast! Its like playing a board game and after all the players go you play a minnie game, one of my favorites is when you race to climb up a vine! You can also just play minnie games or make a car and race! I recomend this game for ages 6 and up, Go and get MARIO PARTY 5!!!!

I think the latest installment isn't as bad as Mario Party 4, but the best one by FAR is Mario Party 3. I LOVED that game!!!!! The capsules are so-so, as are the minigames. Buy this if your a Mario Party fan, or if your looking for an okay multiplayer game.

It's getting old..

Well, after 4 games you can't expect much more. Maybe some better graphics, and new levels, and possibly new characters. Well they chucked in a hundred or so more mini games into this game to try and make money for Nintento, or so it seemed. I got this christmas of 04 I believe it was, and I stopped playing not too soon after. It's a fair game, but like MP4, it has too many additions for its own good; it ruined the solid N64 style of the mario party franchise. I guess this one is up to you. I'd reccomend rent it for a kid whos having a sleep over, or buy it if he has a lot. Overall not that great of a game, or worth buying for that matter.

board game trite, but bonus mode saves it

Except for Mario Party 3 and 6, I've played them all. Although I was disappointed at the unoriginality of MP4, I still found myself playing MP5, and not just for one hour, either. However, there were flaws that made me sigh, and not with happiness, either (that came later, at the bonus mode).

MP5 comes back with vibrant graphics and the same gameplay it always had: four players go around the board collecting coins from mini-games to buy stars. The board game, as many know from MP experience, becomes trite after, oh, an hour. I agree with reviews that vent frustration at how long it takes to finish a mere 10-turn game due to too much pointless animation! Most people, including myself, eventually play the board game only to collect all the mini-games so they can play their treasure trove later, and waiting an hour only to get one new game, if any, is annoying. Also, some of the boards are designed so that the players tend to go around in a circle unless they land on a certain spot to take them away, which can result in many circles but no stars to be found! Time to play mini-games and try to get the one remaining ??? that the roulette never seems to land on.

Capsules are fun to experiment with on the board. Players get free capsules from this cute capsule machine and can either pay to use capsules on themselves OR throw them on spaces, where they stay. An example is a golden mushroom: it adds two dice blocks. MP5 has done away with the stores, which is silly because players can end up with lots of money and nowhere to spend it, especially if the star is in a secluded place that nobody can reach. I played MP5 team battle with a friend, and we ended up having 300+ coins as a team but nowhere to spend it!

Some of the mini-games are addicting and great, which make up for the numerous cheesy ones they have, but besides the better mini-games, the Bonus Mode helps to make MP5 a worthwhile game. This is a new addition that I wished they had in MP4. The Bonus Mode only has three games, but two of them are really fun to play with friends: beach volleyball and ice hockey. They are both 2 vs. 2 and have easy controls so players can easily goof off with some friends for a couple of hours :) My friends and I loved the friendly competition!

There are other modes in MP5, like the super duel mode where one builds funky cars and battles with a friend, or the Olympic-like stage, which is basically a beefed up version of playing mini-games. They are not too spectacular but are worth checking out.

In conclusion, the "better" mini-games and the Bonus Mode are the two things that kept me playing MP5 for some hours. Grab a friend, grit your teeth through the dull board games (warning: may take hours to finish), but rejoice as you play the better mini-games later and indulge in the hilariously fun Bonus Mode games!

fun

Another great Mario Party game. It's just not Mario Party 4. The biggest difference I have found in this one from the last is the orbs. They become confusing and it's not as much fun as finding mushrooms in boxes. It's sometimes hard to differentiate the different orbs and what they are going to do.

The mini games are always fun and exciting. Although, I have played this game for a very long time now and some of them are still not unlocked.

This game is fun for the whole family, my 4-year-old even enjoys playing it!
