This game was not what I thought it was gonna be. I thought i was gonna be playing a board game of a mario party map. not doing quest like an RPG! I played for a day and never played it again. :(

I really expected more from Mario Prty Advancce. The console games were so much fun as you went around the board to get the star. In this one, there is NO star but you have to fill quests. The mini-games aren't nearly as good (I LOVED dungeon duos and order up from mario party 4) but still okay. -overall okay

how can you go wrong with Mario?!

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.

MARIO PARTY IS PORTABLE

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.
