Another favourite game of mine growing up! I used to play this game with my cousins and my brother on the Nintendo DS. We used to play all of the Mario party mini games and complete all of the challenges within the game! It’s a great multiplayer game.

This was one of my most favorite Nintendo Ds games ever played! I used to play this game religiously on my 2ds xl when I was younger. It was very fun to play and the challenges were an interesting detail. It was kind of challenging when I was younger, but now it's pretty easy because I've grown to play a lot more games over time. I would recommend this to gamers who are interested in nostalgia.

This is actually one of my favorite Mario Parties believe it or not. It was a fun game, had fun boards and you can play multiplayer. I used to be able to connect to my friends ds or 3ds and we could play the game together up to 4 players. It was super fun having all of us connected and all of us having our own handheld system.

EXCELLENT! This is one fun P-A-R-T-Y!!

SUMMARY Overall, this is an excellent game. HINT: It should be noted that you don't have to save, but the game saves automatically every time you complete a minigame (this is true in story mode as well). So when you want to quit, just play the mini game (that always occurs) at the end of the turn, wait until the end of it, and when you see the board again turn it off. Or, if the current game isn't going well, just turn the system off and you'll start that one turn over again (providing you've played at least one turn and minigame by this point). If you like this game, look into Mario Party 7. Party on! LIKES: 1. Most of the minigames are fun and addictive. 2. Most of the minigames are hillarious! They really took advantage of the fact you're tiny. Rubber Ducky Rodeo ... MoreSUMMARY Overall, this is an excellent game.

They really took advantage of the fact you're tiny. Rubber Ducky Rodeo anyone? 3. The boards are fun, with various traps and rules to keep you from being bored. 4. Some of the bosses may be challenging, but not to the point of frustration. They're relatively simple once you get the hang of it, and they're quite a bit of fun themselves. 5. Unlike Mario Party 7, you don't have to buy your rewards with milage points. All you do is get a certain number of points to get rewarded with something. This saves time, and helps keep away repetition. 6. The boss trophies are comical. 7. The mini games take great advantage of the stylus and the mike. DISLIKES: 1. Not enough female characters. Out of all eight characters, only two are female. While this topic is on the table, there aren't as many characters (male or female) to choose from as Mario Party 7. 2. Some mini games require luck. I don't like this much. 3. Some mini games just stink, and others require you to work with a COM or two (if you're playing solo). While these minigames can be fun, If your luck is bad, and your partner/partners stink, you may be in trouble. That's just not fair. 4. There are certain spaces on the game boards where you get five coins while someone else gets five coins. You get to choose who you want to be your friend. When I'm playing and someone else lands on such a space, I'm never their friend... Besides, giving coins to a COM opponent is just silly. The Story: It's raining sky crystals, and one falls near Mario. The next day, Mario tells all of his friends about it. During this gathering, Kamek brings an interesting note from Bowser. Apparently, Bowser wants to apologize for being a jerk, and throw a big feast for the crew. Who could resist? In other words, the characters aren't that bright (I mean, come on! Would you really go to a villain's house for dinner? Bowser has kidnapped Peach herself at least a dozen times!), and they accept the invitation. The invitation was an elaborate trap, as a big cage falls over the crew, as they arrive. Using his sceptor, Bowser shrinks the crew into "Mini" heroes, takes the sky crystal they have, and wisks them away. Now, everyone wants to be the hero, and this is where you come in: play as Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, or Toad, and travel through a garden, a piano room, a jungle, a library, and Bowser's own lair. Your goals are to outshine the other heroes, collect all of the sky crystals, and defeat Bowser once and for all. Good luck!

Good for a few days, then gets boring.

I purchased this game to play in my offtime at work, and it was great for that. It isn't the worst Mario Party I've ever played, but the last board of the story mode feels like you're intentionally getting bad rolls, random effects, or outrageous mini game scenarios that are designed to make you lose. I beat the first 4 boards in one go, and played the last board over 20 times to attempt to beat it. Up until that point it was a pleasant experience. The difficulty ramp from board 4 to 5 is ridiculous and unnecessary. That being said, I feel like I got my moneys worth and enjoyment out of it, but sad that it left a bad taste in my mouth towards the end.

Keeps you coming back!

The Story Mode puts a level of strategy into the gameplay, since the Stars are what you need to go through to the boss battle, and items from the Item Shop can be used to heighten your chances of getting there first. The boards are creative, particularly Toadette's Music Room, in my opinion. The main characters of the period are all there to use, and the single cartridge gameplay makes multiplayer far more usable. Would recommend to on the go gamers who don't want a short gameplay, say a long car journey.

Looks good, plays well!

I’m always nervous about using internet stores but this shop is great! I’ve used DK oldies a few times and even called after I messed up an order once and they’ve always treated me very well. I would and do recommend them to friends all the time!Mario Party DS was in great shape and I’ve played through almost all of the game data and the Cartridge hasn’t so much as stuttered. It’s obviously not a new cart but it might as well be

Mario Mario

Mario party DS

Mario party DS was one of the most solid investments I made this year, it’s an absolute blast. Big thanks to DK oldies for hooking me up with a full cover art, manual, and case.

Solid portable MP with its own charm.

Decently-Solid Mario Party game. The only handheld version in the series. Board design could be better. Only 2 of the 5 boards play with regular "20-coin-moving-star" rules. Story is unique but very short and simple. Unlockables are present but only used to look at. Mini-games are great! Some are easier than others yet the DS's dual screen, mic, and touch capabilities are used nicely. Some 2v2 games have terrible to amazing AI so is sometimes unpredictable. Collect coins, trade for stars. "Free item" spaces along with underground shops where you can buy and dump up to 3 items. If you enjoy MP 4 and 5 the DS version will feel fairly comfortable. Nice extras and multi-player options as well. A minor disappointment overall.
