New features

In single player mode, all the Koopa Kids move at the same time, quickening game play. The point of single player mode is to deplete all of the Koopa Kids' coins by beating them in mini-games.

It also features a whole new mode, Super Duel Mode. In this mode, one buys vehicle parts using points received by playing mini-games and building a battle vehicle to use in different tournaments or against friends. To unlock all the different parts, one must play all the tournaments and beat certain opponents.

As usual, this new installment to the Mario Party series comes with new mini-games, characters, and maps. Toad, Boo, and even Koopa Kid are the new playable characters. In this game, Donkey Kong is only a playable character in Super Duel Mode once one unlocks him.

Minigames

Each minigame in Mario Party 5 is new, and has never before been seen in past versions of Mario Party. They vary from racing to pugilism to challenging one's reflexes. A minigame is played at the end of every round. If all 4 players are on the same color space, a 4 vs. 4 game occurs. If 2 players are each on different colors, a 2 vs. 2 game begins, and if only one player is on a different colour than the rest, a 1 vs 3 game will start. The winner of the minigame usually gets 10 coins, but in some cases everyone collects the number of coins that they have earned. Some examples of mini-game controls are pressing A repeatedly and using the Control Stick to move, A to jump and B to punch/kick.
