When i first rented this game I was surprised. Unlike most Mario Party games, this game in story mode is about taking all three players coins away before twenty turns. you compete again Red, Green and Blue K. Kid in 5 dream worlds. Your mission is to save the dreams from Bowser. To do this, you must take all the Koopa kids coins away before twenty turns is easy. Most of the mini games you will be playing are in duel mode again a K. Kid. When playing a duel either the K. Kid will lose coins or you will. To start a duel you must pass (you don't have to land) a k. kid or have a k. kid pass you. If a k. kid passes you, if you win the duel, the k. kid will lose 5 coins. If you win the duel you will lose 15 coins. If YOU pass a K. kid, this is the other way around. Andywas once you get the hang of it, this is an incredibly easy game. I found my self taking all the coins from a K. kid only 2 or 3 turns into the game. I got through it within a few hours.
After saving the dreams (there is also one nightmare stage) you must pass four of bowser's mini games. After a REALLY easy game I was expecting this to be easy to. NO SUCH LUCK. This was hard. You were put in a game without any insturctions. I had to try quite a few times before I understood what to do. HINT: to see controls press start. in the first mini game you must get rid of all the koopas by throwing them or stomping on them. WATCH OUT FOR THE FIRE BREATHING ONES! In the second game, simple jump through the fire rings without touching the fire. not a very easy thing. I lost many hearts on that part. thrid game. bowser comes and stomps on areas. get him to stomp on a square three times to win. to do this quickly hover around a square and bowser will jump there and make a crack. make good use of a the already one time cracked one. beware not to touch bowser or get into his fire. then the last game. THIS WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME. Bowser fires some kind of metal ball whic you must throw at him six times to win. NOT SIMPLE AT ALL! plus you have to watch out for fire and the balls while they're still hot and his energy ring. I think it was really mean making a really easy game with a supr hard ending. if you lose your hearts you have to start ALL over again. THREE STARS. RENT, not buy.
I Want More Mario!

All the Mario Party games 1-4 have been fun to play. It had a good idea to work with other computer characters, but this one doesn't do that. I mean, this game isn't really that good playing by yourself because you can never really work with a partner. You need another human player. I know it may sound fun now, but during the game, you have a battle every 5 seconds literally. Everytime a bowser character passes you, you fight him. Also, the way to win this game isn't as fun as the others. You don't get stars, you just try to make the Bowser characters lose coins.
stop the madness

The first Mario Party was ok, but at least it was entertaining. This game is a disgrace. At first, you should at least get all the mini games at the beggining of the game. You dont. There should only be mini games. There isnt. Mini games are the only thing that draws people to this game and they still have boards. Thats boring. Nintendo get rid of Mario Party. Bring back classic games and make us all happy.
BORING !

I loved MP4, but MP5 is just plain boring ! I waited and waited for its release and was sadly disappointed in the game. It's slow and not as much fun. Its really easy to get the stars, where's the challenge? Story mode doesn't have anything to work for, and Party Mode is just nothing. The only good thing about it is the new Mini-Games.
Keep them coming Nintendo!

The reason I buy the nintendo systems are because of these games. The mario/zelda and other unique nintendo games with the classic characters are by far the best out there. I was six yeas old when I played the first super mario bros. and I am now 22 and still hooked!

This games ok but uhhhh...ya see I kinda like Mario party 4 better. I just like the levels better and the mini games. Well actually that's the whole point of the game. Im telling you don't play or get this. Well play if you don't agree but I like Mario party 4 better. I don't know there's just something about it that you know. I never really liked these games anyways but you know,....I guess some day they'll make a Mario football because they advertise it too much. The only good one was Mario kart. Which I recommend double dash instead of this peace of crap...!!!
