The Best Mario Party Yet!!!

What a great game! Now there are two new characters: Waluigi (a mix between Wario and Luigi) and Daisy (another girl character). There are over 70 new minigames and no old ones. I like all of them. There is now a story mode and a party mode. The Story Mode is a single player mode where you go through all of the boards in order to earn "stamps". If you earn all the stamps, you're done with story mode. Party Mode is where you can party with multiple players on a Battle Royal Map (from the classic Mario Party games) or on a Duel Map (2 player special map). The story is that the Millennium Star, a star born once in a thousand years, falls down by Mario and his friends. They all start arguing about who should keep it. They decide to play Mario Party to figure out who is the Superstar. You should definitely buy this game. Have fun and good luck!
This again...?

Having played the firs two games in the "Mario Party" series, I decided to give this one a try. I hate the first one, the second one was a little better, and this one is the best of the bunch. The mini-games are less sadistic(making them more fun), and thankfully those stupid outfits from the second edition were left out. The game boards are more complex, making the game much more enjoyable, and the game control is much more straight forward.Daisy and Walugui have been thrown in there too(both are only playable in the battle modes), and seem to be an afterthought. Neither one of them really shine and are not included in the opening sequence. The fun really lies in playing with your friends. The computer likes to cheat, yelling at your console isn't nearly as fun as yelling at your friends. The game is worth a rental, especially if you have kids.
This is a great game

And it's much better than MP1 or MP2. New characters, new mini-games, new boards, new modes, it adds up to a great game. My friends and I play this all the time. There are bad things, really bad things, AND REALLY REALLY HORRIBLE THINGS (like encountering the shy guy with 156 coins- eep!). The new minigames are fun and some are insanely hard. I reccommend this game to anyone. It's a tad expensive, but well worth it.
The best Mario Party yet!

If you are a fan of the Mario Party series as I am, you will adore this game. First, there are loads of all new mini games. Unlike the move from Mario Party 1 to 2, they didn't keep a whole lot of the same mini games. Second, the dual mode is excellent -an all new way for two people to play Mario Party. Another change I really like is the items. Unlike in Mario Party 2 (Mario Party 1 didn't have items) you can carry up to three items at a time. In addition, when you land on an item space, you may play an item game, or Toad or Baby Bowser may come down and ask you a question, if they like your answer they may give you up to three items. I love most of the games here. Hours of fun and entertainment. If you are already a fan of the Mario Party series, I highly recommend picking this one up. If you are just getting started in the MP experience, try this one first.
Even better than Mario Party 1 or 2!

Mario Party 3 for the Nintendo 64 is one of the best games ever made by Nintendo. Mario Party 3 keeps the good parts of the first two versions, but enhances the gameplay and adds much more fun to it. It is a great board-game style video game. In Mario Party 3 you can play in one player mode (which can be very frustrating), 2 player, 3 player. Each mode includes one computer player for you to play with or against.
In every mode you pick the amount of players who are playing, choosing from several different characters including Mario , Luigi, Peach, Wario, and new characters form Mario Tennis. You can choose to play up to 100 turns in your game and as little as 15 turns for each player. When it is your turn you spin a dice and move to a space that many spots away which may give you three or more coins, make you lose three or more coins, have to do a battle mode, or a variety of other things.
The best part of Mario Party 3 is the Mini-games. There are over 70 new mini-games in this game which you play after every player has had a turn. You either play all on one team, 3-on-1 or 2-on-2 (if you play in 4 player mode) based on how you do on your turns and what you get. The mini-games are a variety of neat games where you have to survive 30 seconds while shells are shooting around, grow your plant the tallest from a rain cloud, a game like 3 card monty, and many, many more. Your goal in the game is to make it to the square where the star is and to earn as many coins as you can. At the end of the game you get awards for the most stars, coins and for the least amount of times you have landed on certain squares. Then you can go into a library with all of the mini-games that you used and can play them as much as you want, when you want, and you can also buy new mini-games.
I highly recommend this game to any Mario fan or anyone familiar with the Mario Party series.
A Party Full of Fun!

Mario Party 3 was my first of the series, so I have not experienced the others. However, it was a great buy. It is not like a book where you have to read the other ones first. There are three different things you can do. 1.The Duel Map You go around the board with partner(s) to help protect you from the other player. Only two people can play this map. 2.The Battle Royal Map This one can have four players. You go around the board getting as many Millenium Stars and coins as possible. After everyone has a turn, you play a mini-game to get coins. 3.The Mini-Games In the two other maps, you play mini-games. After you play them, they get recorded here, so you can play them as many times as you want. But, if you turn it off before the game is over, the mini-games you played won't be recorded. Our favorite is Mario's Puzzle Party. These three things are enough to keep you busy for a long time. The only bad part is, you have to listen to the rules before you can play the two maps. That can get boring. Also, this game is a lot more fun with another person. But overall,I highly recommend this game. Hope you have a lot of fun!
BUY THIS GAME, IT IS SO MUCH FUN

This game is SOOOO much fun. The minigames are so fun. For example, the game Snowball Summit you make a snowball and then roll it at an enemy player, trying to knock him off the hill. They have 70, that's right, NEW minigames. They are really fun and the boards are also fun to. This game is a must buy if you have liked the previous two. I just loved the new themes for the boards and the 70 new games. I like the gambling games, even though I almost always lose. This game's only fault is that it doesn't include some of the past favorites, face lift, crazy cutter, mushroom mix-up, etc...

This is the second best Mario Party game, besides Mario Party 6. This game includes the same 6, Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario. But there is an added 2, Daisy and Waluigi! This is Daisy's thrid game and Waluigi's second.
The boards are in 2-D but rock out loud. THe best one is Blooper Sea, this board has the best Mario Party music ever! The minigames are well thought out. There are a fair few action ones alot of puzzles and many CRAZY ones. Toad is back along with Baby Bowser and the King Koopa himslf BOWSER.
The story is that a magical star has transformed the Mushroom-Kingdom into a pop-up book, the only way to change everything back is to complete solo mode! The items are really cool, some Items i've seen only twice and I've played the game millions of times! There are many options such as making every-one move faster on the board, and skiping CPU Minigames and battles.

'You'll be hooked on the brothers!' (Super Mario Bros. Super Show) Perfect quote for this game! The game includes a new Duel Mode (which by the way, is just...plain...AWESOME!) and the spaces on the board have turned extreme! The spaces now don't just play toward different outcomes, but one wrong move in a game of luck, and the tide of the game changes direction! The thing that keeps me from giving this game a five star rating is the fact that they downsized from MP2. They don't have scuba suits in the water world, or cowboy hats in the desert world. And, when you land on a space, the view keeps on the board, it doesn't do a in-your-face view. Overall, a great game.
