Main series

Since the release of the first Mario Party in 1999, the series had consistently put out a sequel every year for North America and Japan (much like the original Mega Man series), until 2006. The series has been praised for its party game elements, including the often-unpredictable multiplayer modes that allow play with up to four (and sometimes eight) human players.

Gameplay

Over the course of the Mario Party incarnations, gameplay has changed to suit the technology of the hardware, and there are also several modes available for play in each game, each of which provides its own rules and challenges.

Party Mode

Every game in the main series has a standard Party Mode in which up to four players play through a board, trying to collect as many stars as possible. In every turn, each player rolls a six-sided dice (although the numbers change randomly from 1-10) and progresses on the board, which usually has branching paths. Coins are primarily earned by performing well in a minigame played at the end of each turn. On most boards, players earn stars by reaching a star space and purchasing a star for a certain amount of coins. The star space appears randomly on one of several pre-determined locations and moves every time a star is purchased, usually occupying a blue space. Two standard six-sided pipped dice with rounded corners. ...

Every Mario Party contains at least 50 to almost 110 minigames with a few different types. Four-player games are a free-for-all in which players compete individually. In 2-on-2 and 1-on-3 minigames, players compete as two groups, cooperating to win, even though they are still competing individually in the main game. In most situations, winners earn ten coins each.

Battle minigames first appeared in Mario Party 2. These games are like the 4-player games, but are often more elaborate. Instead of winners earning ten coins each, each player contributes a randomly selected number of coins (or all coins if the player falls short of the pot amount). The winner of the minigame receives 70% of the pot, the second place winner receives the other 30%, and a random player occasionally gets a coin left over from rounding.

Duel minigames also debuted in Mario Party 2, and were omitted in Mario Party 4 (though the Story minigames were all duels), but returned again in Mario Party 5. Duel games pit two players against each other. In Party Mode, one player initiates the duel, wagering coins or even a star against another player. The winner of the duel receives all coins or stars wagered. Starting with Mario Party 7, the player no longer chooses the wager in a duel, rather, the duel takes place and the prize to the winner, if any, is randomly determined.

Minigame Mode

In addition to Party mode, every Mario Party has a minigame mode in which minigames are played with the board game. Minigame modes vary from game to game, but later games have many different variations. In one such example from Mario Party 5, each player tries to fill a board with as many spaces as possible in his or her color by winning minigames.

Regular items are turned into capsules beginning in this installment; these can be obtained for free from capsule machines on each board, and can be thrown up to ten spaces ahead to turn a board space into a special board space. When a character lands on the space, certain events are triggered depending on the type of capsule thrown—some helpful, some harmful.

Items are called orbs instead of capsules in this and and Mario Party 7. Each board also has a slightly different star-collecting method. In one board, players use coins to "rent" Chain Chomps, which can be ridden to trample other players and steal their stars.

This requires players to rotate the Analog Stick which caused some players to get blisters and other hand injuries because of the fact that they could rotate the analog stick much faster with the palms of the hands than with only their thumb. The Analog Stick rotation is no longer used starting with Mario Party 2.
