1. Background - Mario Party is a series of games developed by Nintendo. It has been going on since the first Mario Party was released in 1999, Japan only.

2. Gameplay In Mario party, the objective is to collect as many Stars as possible. This possible by going around a giant game board and looking for them. Also, in the mario party series you must collect coins to buy the stars. The Stars usually cost 20 coins. you can collect coins by landing on certain spaces on the board. here are all the spaces and what they do.

3.-story

I have to admit that the story of this game is pretty pathetic. There is a competition at a carnival, where the players are competing on boards to get stars. The winner of the Board-game tournament gets a 1-year supply of candy.

4.-Graphics

The overall graphics of the game are good, despite one thing: The fonts. The fonts look seriously from the 1900's.

Overall, This game was impressive.
