Mario Party RPG should be the name

This is'nt Mario Party. This is an Adventure game with dumb quests,for example: OH god! Mario,can you help me find my girlfriend? Or Luigi,could you take this ticket to the station? Some quests are fun. But why are'nt you trying to get stars with other friends? What I hate most is that you don't have unlimited rolls! Gadgets was a bad idea. The mini games are OK and so are the new feartures. But why is this game a 4 star instead of 1? Because it's flooded with gamplay. You will get addicted to the minigames fast. Overall,if you love the original Mario Party,you are not gonna have much fun with this game.

A Few Flaws

I wasn't expecting this game to be quite like the other Mario Parties so I'm satisfied with the way it was put together but the only things I absolutely HATE are:

In the Challenge part where you play mini-games and duel games to get coins (you play a series of games in a row to win), it SUCKS that if you lose ONCE, you're done! That's a big pain! They show NO mercy whatsoever! The challengers are hard and so are most of the games! I'm 21 and I have trouble with it; I don't understand how they expect kids to play this with ease!

It is a little bit disappointing

I like to play for fun but that this game seems to me more like work. I would enjoy it much more if I wouldn't have to worry about running out of stars that allow me to move around. However, if you are a good player (I'm an occasional player) and have no trouble with passing little games that allow you to collect stars, then this game might be fun for you.

Its gonna be a good game

I bought this thinking it would be a Mario Party. Instead, it was not even a game. If you have played a console Mario, you play on a board collecting coins and stars as you play minigames after each turn. Here you can play minigames but there are no opponents or anything like that. You just randomly play a minigame. This game sucks and is a piece of S***. Nintendo ripped me off with false advertising. Maybe if there is some way to play in an actual game as Nintendo suggests, then can somebody tell me.

good toy

This game is so fun to play on game cube and I have been wondering if they would ever make it for GBA. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

I think that this game is awesome because it is mario party, but in a whole new way. Instead of multiple characters runing all over a small board compreting over stars and coins, MPA has you navigate a huge game board while concentrating on completing 'quests' and keeping a good supply of mushrooms (what you use to get dice rolls). It has a great old school meets new school feel.

Your mission in the main game is to find and complete quests on event locations on the game board. There are different types of quests, like item delivery/retrival, winning a minigame, solving riddles, etc. Each of the 4 characters use can select (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach) start at a different point on the board, so character selection is the 1st of many strategic decisions you need to make for each time you play the main game.

The board pieces are also different than previous MPs. The amount of turns you have left is determined by how many mushrooms you have. (0=game over). Each turn starts with a dice roll, and the end of the turn depends on where you stop. Yellow spaces do nothing. Green spaces give you a dice roll without using a mushroom. Red spaces take 1 mushroom from you. Blue spaces have you play minigames to try to win more mushrooms. If you reach a event location and enter it, your turn ends. This creates a need for a lot of planning and luck to accomplish your goals and stay alive longer.

Of course the minigames in MPA are not slacking either. Like in MP4, all games play and look difeerent, requiring different skills and completion requirements. Some examples include leading colored boos to the right colored picture to be captured, jumping on cloud layers to reach a goal high up, and a tetris attack style (matching 3 same colored tiles)game with green turtle shells that can only be removed by a red turtle shell. These games are a lot of fun and some are very challenging. And in this MP there is a reason to replay minigames because in the free mode they keep your highist score for almost all of the games, except the Duel and Bowser games.

If you love Mario Party, you sould consider playing MPA, it worth your time if want something new.

Nothing like the fun Mario Party games for N64 and Gamecube

I was very disappointed when I first played this game. I am a huge fan of Mario Party 1-6, and even got my Gamecube so I could continue getting them. Mario Party Advance is nothing like any of them. The mini games are difficult with the gameboy and there is no real board game where you try to get the star. Those missions are really dumb. For more entertainment, get any of the gameboy Harvest Moons. At least they held my attention for longer than ten minutes.
