Story

Toadsworth has invited Mario and all his friends to go on a luxury cruise around the world. However, Toadsworth invited everyone except for one person, Bowser! Furious at being omitted, the Koopa King vows revenge. When the cruise ship arrives at its first destination, the passengers discover that Bowser has turned their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse.

The goal is to gather stars, but each board requires one to do that in a different way. For instance, people must buy a star at Pagoda Peak, if they have enough coins. In Neon Heights, one must pay coins to open a treasure box. One might find a star — or something far less desirable. Also, in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno, players may be on their way to getting a star, but end up not getting it and losing half of their coins. In Solo Cruise, some boards do not involve purchasing stars, but stealing them.

New features

Eight-player

For the first time since the series' initial release in 1999, eight players may participate in either Party Cruise or Deluxe Cruise (the 8 player equivalent of the Mini-Game Cruise). Players are split into teams of two and are required to share a controller, with the first player using the L Button and Control Stick in minigames and the second player using the R Button and C-Stick. This article is about the first game in the series. ...


Solo cruise

While a mode for a solo player in itself isn't new to the Mario Party series, this game's take is very much different from any of the past six games. One player competes against another (either computer controlled or human played), trying to complete the set objective on the board map before the other can. Tasks range from collecting a set number of stars to having a set number of coins on a space. Up to ten slots of different characters with different phrases may be saved. Once a player has completed all six boards, they are added to the rankings section, where it shows the players who took the least turns to complete them.


Bowser time

The premise of this game is not only based on a cruise, but Bowser's rage as well since he was not invited. This is where Bowser Time, only on Party Cruise, comes in. After every turn, a meter with Bowser's face on it rises. After 5 turns, the meter will fill completely, and Bowser Time commences. Bowser may take a picture of all the players and charge them coins, but not give them the picture, destroy a shop and build his own, selling items players don't need to one player before closing (Such as a Koopa Kid Orb for 10-20 coins), take a star from a team, or destroy a bridge and add Bowser spaces on it. In addition to Bowser Time, Bowser wrecks the party by adding three Koopa Kid spaces at the start of the game. Bowser will not have his face rise up for the last 5 turns.

Mario's all-stars are back for another romp through coin-nabbing, star-stealing multiplayer minigames.
But like its predecessor Mario Party 6, Mario Party 7 has streamlined the board and the player movement, so that games clip along relatively quickly.
Kids can play with their parents, and adults can play at a party no matter how inebriated they are.
