THIS GAME IS A LOT OF FUN. THERE ARE MORE CHALLENGES. THE STORY MODE IS EXCELLENT. I DEFINATELY RECCOMEND THIS GAME.

Good things happen to those who wait

Mario Party 3 is the best of the Mario Party series.Why? One main reason is that of the previous two that had something missing(such as grasping one-player gameplay)that this one has. It is great to know that after all your friends go home or you are sick of playing the slightly easy computers on the normal setting that you have something to fall back on. Another obvious reason is the addition of the two new characters never before seen in any of the other Mario related games on the N64 that Nintendo proved to us that they could come up with more than just Yoshi,Mario,Luigi,Peach,and the two "villans" Donkey Kong and Wario to excite the long-awaiting fans of Mario's games that were hoping Mario Party 3 would give them something new,which it did. Also, I loved that there were new and more mini-games and that they brought back some of the old favorites of the previous Mario Partys,plus with the great new Shy-Guy gambling games and the new duel games and battle maps,Mario Party 3 promises to give you hours and hours of fun.

The only bad thing I can honestly say about this game is that it is kind of boring playing the regular adventure game because there are no new games to uncover after you've played the game about fifty times.

Very fun and lots of mini games

Even though this game is out-dated and there's a new Mario Party game for Game Cube, Mario Party 3 is still a good game to buy if you haven't played it. The only thing is it's hard to find now because it's out of stock. This game has 70 new mini-games, 2 new characters, two different kinds of board games, "action time" which happens on board games and as many as 20 items. There is even a new board game space called "game guy" but it is not a good one. Other then these new things and the story plot, the game has basically not changed much since Mario Party 2. Just as in any Mario Party game, the bad thing about Mario Party 3 is the waiting-- even when the board game is set to 10 turns, the lowest it can go, it can still take as much as 60 minutes to complete. A good idea would be to save and continue later. I can't say the graphics are brilliant but they're not terrible either.

Mario Party 3 RULES!!!

Mario Party 3 is my favorite N64 game. I never really got into the other mario party games, but this one RULES!!! You are always occupied doing something, like story mode (if you want) or unlocking mini-games. I like spending my time playing the awesome mini-games. Except, ordering this game on amazon, it is pretty expensive. I would recommend looking at a used electronics store to buy this game, and if you buy it pre-owned you will have a head-start!! Overall, this is a really great game. I recommend it for people ages 7-14 but even my grandma and dad played some mini games!!!

p.s. if you have gamecube, i also highly highly recommend Mario Party 4!!!

Better challenge

Well, i say it is better than mario party 1 and 2, the best part about it is that when somthing special happens at the last part of the story. so simply put, this game is ok.

The Best Mario Party Game for the 64

First off, all of the mario party games are so similar. The one thing that makes them unique is the mini games. Lets face it....the mini games in mario party 1 are not all that great and neither is 2. But in mario party 3 all new things were added. Stars are more fun to get and they added items to use and a couple new characters. And the mini games in mario party 3 are awesome. They are so much more fun then the previous 2. If u have any mario party games other then 3 for the 64....sell them and get mario party 3. it's the only one u need. This is the kind of series where u only need one of the games in the series. Also, some of the reviews for this game say that this game is not good. The only people who would say that are people who may just not like the concept of the game. It is a game where it simulates a board game and adds mini games in it. If u do not like this idea of a game....then u may not like it. But if u do then i highly recommend this game. Its the best out of the ones for 64. If u have a gamecube and prefer to get one for that....then mario party 4 is very good too. Mario party 3 and 4 are very similar and are the best ones to get. They are so much fun to have a bunch of friends play and it is easy enough to get the hang of right away. I promise that u will enjoy yourself with this game.

It's PARTY time again!

Being that I enjoyed the first two Mario Party games, I couldn't wait to try out the third installment. It's easily the best installment of the series to be released up to that point in time. There are lots of new mini-games, some of which are lots of fun (i.e. Mario's Puzzle Party, which is a Tetris-style puzzle game and is extremely addictive - after I "bought" this mini-game from Toad, I got hooked on it) and others of which we could probably do without (i.e. Water Whirled, which features controls that are next to impossible to figure out, and MPIQ, which I'd have to agree is pretty stupid). The graphics and sound are an improvement over the first two volumes - I'm glad they finally changed the character voices (except for Donkey Kong's) and created a new character to "moderate" the boards in place of Toad, whose voice has always driven me nuts. (What is "Yuh-ohhhhhhh!" supposed to mean? At least in Mario Kart 64 he spoke actual words... But anyhow...) I like the new characters too. With the introduction of Daisy, there's finally a second female character to choose in addition to Peach (and personally, I like Daisy more than Peach), and Waluigi is apparently the "Luigi" version of Wario. The "duel" maps are lots of fun, especially because you can choose from a number of classic Mario villains (and friends), ranging from Koopa Troopa to Bob-Omb to Snifit to Toad, to "attack" your opponent. And as for the game being "unfair"... well, you have to admit, it is, when the computer-controlled characters seem to have better luck than you do and are able to pull off lots of questionable plays. But think about this: do people always play fair in real life? Besides, some of those outrageous moves make the game unpredictable and, while they can be frustrating, can keep you on your toes and add to the fun factor. If everyone played fair the entire time, the game would be pretty boring. At least that's what I think. My biggest gripe is with the controls: the controls in some of the mini-games (i.e. Water Whirled, as I already mentioned, plus Pipe Cleaners - the one where you have to whack the Baby Bowsers popping out of the pipes with a hammer - and the middle vehicle in Ridiculous Relay) are hair-raising and very difficult to master.
Not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination, but lots of fun, and still an improvement on the first two games in the series. Recommended, even though "serious" gamers may find it quite childish.

The game board

Mario and his friends are in a board game to defeat bowser(different types of bowsers like an egyptian bowser that creates curses on people that dont figure out his riddle)and become super star of the land. Here's a hint for a mini game that has everyone balancing on a ball.when two people try to charge at each other go in the middle of them. there is a possibility that those two will fall even though you might fall too.

Fun, fun, and more fun!!!!

This game is so fun! Once you start playing it, you will never want to stop! It only seems like 10 minutes when your playing but it is actually 2 hours. Time flies when you're playing Mario Party 3! Battle mini-games in the game room are the best!!!!
