Mario Party 3's a winner. No doubt about it.

The story revolves around the millenium star, a newborn star who is so young it crashes from the sky onto, of course, Mario's lawn where he is busy relaxing. This jolt throws him out of his seat and his friends come over to see what happened. It's here where Lakita the cameraman brings over the board game Mario Party to see who deserves the star. It's when the star gives off the light that they're all [brought] into a universe where dice come alive and they are actually in the game Mario Party.

There are added bonuses; Duel Map has you and another opponent on a duel map. Here you are provided partners who demand a salary. If you can't afford the salary, your partner disappears and you can't get a new one until you return to start. These partners fight off your opponent. It also resembles Monopoly. You land somewhere and your opponent must pay you money if he/she lands on it, and vice versa. Story Mode has you wanting to win badges: Kindness, Wit, Beauty, and so on. Yet before you win a badge an opponent, bearing the color of that badge, challenges you to a duel map.

The mini-games are easy.

Enjoy!

Fair Enough

I have recently purchased this game on my N64, and I'd say Mario Party 3 is a decent game to keep but not at its best.

>>On the bright side, this is an ultimate Mario Party game so it would be nice to have one of these. It's full of brand new fun mini-games plus two extra characters to choose from. I really admire the Duel Mode where you get to hire friends in RPG-style battles. And finally, random selections add on to the element of surprise.

>>Unfortunately, the graphics are not well-made, hands down. Why couldn't they produce better graphics? Well, I guess you just have to live with those angular 3D look in N64. Also, you'll have to wait a lot for your turn to roll the die. Playing ONE board game could take more than an hour to complete.

Bottom Line: If you enjoy multiplayer games, Mario games and surprises, go for it. But if you'd prefer more mature games and sports games, then this is not your type. In my opinion, bad graphics is the only major flaw in Mario Party 3.

MP3, a true life saver!!!

Things have been a little empty at the Gibralter household ever since great aunt Bijay passed away. I liked to think of her as a game-lover, no, a fanatic if you will. She and my son Marcus always used to play the original Mario Party. We all knew she had mastered the game, but for some reason she always let Marcus win. I'll never forget how she used to wheel into his room on her wheelchair and say, "Hey Marcus, wanna play a rousing game of M.P.(Mario Party). Then one day, Marcus asked her, how come you never win great aunt? She wheeled off unable to answer. The next day she passed away. When she was buried, Mario Party went with her. The next couple of weeks, I noticed Marcus was not doing his school work or much of anything really. Heck,(excuse my language) I had trouble gettin' to sleep myself. I felt like there was nothing I could do. Then one day, while I was reading the sunday newspaper, a miraculous thing happened to me; I saw the new game, Mario Party 3. I knew if I could but purchase this game, all our troubles would be over. The next day, I went down to (the store), bought the game for (price). I gave the cashier (money) and said "Hey, I really appreciate what you're doing." I brought the game home, walked into Marcus' part of the trailor only to see him crying. I walked over next to him and asked "Hey Marcus, wanna play a rousing game of M.P. ... 3!!
His eyes lit up and we put the game in the nintendo 64. Mario Party 3 has truly changed my life. Marcus is doing great at school, and wouldn't you know it, only a couple of weeks after purchasing the game, I got a raise to $7.50 an hour!!! Thanks great aunt Bijay, THANKS MARIO PARTY 3!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Mario is back, in a board game form!

Just so you know, this game doesn't have relistic volice. It's Mario!
This game is great! It is easy to understand. This game is like a 3D board game. Sound boring? No way! This game has tons of minigames. You can pratice the games so you can get good at them. Then click start to play them for real. You can also choose how easy or hard you want the game.
Use your luck and skill to play 6 board games and 6 battle boards. This game is great for everyone.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!

I think that this game is the best so far in the series, the best part is that there are seventy all new mini-games. I can't believe Nintendo came out with such an awesome game!!

If there is one game you should buy it should be this one!

This is the best game IN THE WORLD! If I already didn't have Nintendo 64 I'd buy it just for this game (thats if I knew how fun it was)! I loved Mario party 2 and was about to purchase it until I heard the rumor of Mario Party 3 coming soon. I waited months and when I got it, after all the time I waited it felt worth while, I wasn't one bit dissapointed, I wish I could rate it about 5 stars but I cant!

A GREAT GAME!

This is a great Game. Compared to the first or second one this one is much better. There are over 70 minigames to play and it includes a story mode and a party mode. This game is great for multiplayer but not good for single player. In the single player mode the comps are either too easy or too hard and since the only human player is you it makes the game dull, turn after turn after turn. Multiplayer on the other hand is awesome especially at parties. Since you are facing human players the game gets a lot more fun and a lot more interesting. Also a plus to this game compared to the first two is that there are more modes of play, more characters, and best of all you don't have to "buy" the minigames. Also there are new items you can buy on the game boards.

My Name is Sandy Buchanan. Most mini-games are neat and cool. If you have had this game for a month+, you should have unlocked most mini games. There are several different types of mini games. The first and most common mini-games are four player mini games which are usually free for alls. There are 20 of these games to unlock. Next are 2vs2 games. These divide the four players into two groups with two players each. Next are 1vs3 games. This series holds my personal favorite(Ridiculous Relay). The rest of the mini game types are Duel, Battle, Item, Game Guy and ???. The only games I hate are all the Game Guy games, and Merry-Go-Chomp. All five are based on Luck and the chances of winning Merry-Go-Chomp are 1,000,000,000 to nothing. So stay away from these games.

A good game for 3 or 4 people, not as good with only 1 or 2. Must be willing to invest a little time in the game in order to learn the ins and outs. Excellent replay value.
