Think mario party 2 is fun?

At 70% complete, Mario Party 3 looks to be coming along nicely at last week's Spaceworld show. Featuring the same 1-4 player mini-game style as the first two games, the 3rd in the series will likely have the same addictive effect as the originals - though the quality of the mini-games will obviously determine the quality of the overall game. Luckily, Nintendo's including a whopping 70 full mini-games this time (how do they keep coming up with new ones?) - all of which the company is promising are completely new. The 4 player Battle Royal mode has also been improved, with a total of twenty items (more than twice the number in previous versions), and an Action Event on the board map. A new Dual Map game mode has also been added, in which you can bring along a helper for one-on-one battles. Mario Party 3's US release date has not yet been set, but with a Japanese date in December, the best bet is a first quarter 2001 release in the west.

Unlike some other people, I actually OWN this game...

I have this game in Japanese, and it's really fun. Everyone should buy this game. I have 1 and 2, and this is much better than both. 2 was like the same as 1, but dumber. 3, however, has two main modes: Battle Royale (normal) and Duel modes. The Duel mode is where you control one of the eight characters (the old 6 plus Princess Daisy and Waluigi) and you have an 'friend' (called 'kyara' or characters) such as Boo, Koopa, or Goomba and the object is to defeat your enemy by having your 'character' defeat the opponent. Also, you can have up to three datas. This is useful if you have many people who play. The American version, however, will probably have less because the translators are so stupid (In the Japanese version of Zelda: Majora's Mask, you could have three datas, in the American only two. I have both so don't argue).

When you start to play, there are two choices: Party mode and Story Mode. Party mode is what all MP players are accustomed to, whereas Story Mode is a new one-player mode that takes you through all boards, and you must win one to move to the next one.

The new mini-games are awesome. My favorite is Goro Goro Yukidama, which is this one that's like a snowball fight. As far as I'm concerned, there are no old mini-games. None are repeated, and if they are, they are with such large twists that they are no longer recognizable. There are more memory mini-games, rather than ones where you just push A or B over and over.

By the way, don't trust '12-year-old gamer' from NY, because he clearly has no clue what he's talking about. He also hasn't played the game. He claims that by April 4th the game was 70% done. I had the game WEEKS before April 4th.

Mario Party hopefully will be better than its predisessor which was so much fun. I have seen a un finished version at one of the computer shows but was unable to play it. The graphics seem improved on the previous two and there was an information leaflet that promised that all of the min games will be totaly new. So all in all this should be a great game for any fan of the previous two if all of thge mini games are going to be different

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.

Great

'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.

This game is awesome

Mario Party 3 is awesome, I bought the english version 3 days ago. My favorite mini-game is Mario's Puzzle party (If anyone has played Super Puzzle fighter, then it will be easy!) I think there are some returning mini-games like crazy cogs is sorta like shock, drop or roll! And the story mode is awesome Bye!

Pretty Good

After playing this game for a weekend, I'm still getting used to it. I love the Party mode of all the Mario Party Games. In this third installment there are some good and bad points.

The good points... brand new mini games, it's refreshing to have different games to compete against your friends in. I like that there are different item games, and I love that duels are head to head competitions rather than who can press buttons the fastest. There are great new items from the item shop such as cellular shopper and reverse mushroom that are fun. Also the inclusion of two new players (Waluigi and Daisy) are nice.

The bad points...the game seems to last a little longer than the other Mario Party installments. Individual turns last longer because of so many different spots to land on (it's great if it's you, but terrible if you're waiting for your turn). I hate the shy guy gambling game. The computer characters seem almost superhuman in the mini games sometimes, making it nearly impossible to win, and some of the mini games are stupid. Especially M.P.I.Q.(a jeopardy type game testing Mario Party knowledge).

Overall I do recommend this game. It's still fun in a group like the others and it's different enough from MP1 and 2 to make it interesting.

Mario Good

Mario Party 3 is a great game. But I feel they were sloppy with the graphics. Mario Party 2 had great graphics, boards and good character voices. In Mario Party 3, the boards are lame and the characters voices can give you a headache, but when you play the actual game you put all that aside because the Mini Games are awesome. I just wish they had more and more Mini Games.

Great Game.If there's a Mario Party 4, make the Boards INTERESTING

Mario Party 3?¿, is 2 be or not 2 be?

Mario Party3 was fun. But it only had 70 mini-games, even though it said 70 new mini-games, i thought there would be classics. There are new versions with different scenarios of classics. Like instead of Skateboard Scamper, it's Cheep Chase, you press A to swim away from the fish instead of skate away from the Boo, then press B to dive under bombs, instead of jumping over obstacles. I found it worth the $... And you dont have to buy mini-games, just play them on the game board and they're yours, i also like the deep 1 player mode.It's up to you if mario party is to be, or not. I hope they come out with a 4th.
