Customer Reviews

Multi player good...game bad
We did not like this version as much as some of the older Mario parties.

Fun for young and old!
I like this game a lot.It can be played with several people.We play it when we have family game night.My 6 year old loves it

Girls can't put it down.
I picked up Mario Party for my family and I to play a video board game together. Little did I know my Wife, her stepdaughter, and our daughter would go nuts playing it over and over. This really is a family game, but I feel like girls will like it more than guys. We still play it over 3 weeks later and we're now trying to unlock everything in the bazaar. If you're a first-time Wiier, and you have a family with at least 50% girls in it, get this game. You will get them into it just as much as I did with my family. The only downside is it can get monotonous and strategy is pretty minimal, but the minigames break the monotony just enough to keep it fun.
