The fourth entry in the Mario Party series includes 5 new game boards and over 50 new minigames. Part board game, part arcade-style action, the object of the game is to collect the most stars (or coins) from the game board at the end of a set number of rounds. Between each round, players compete in mini-games to earn coins that can be used to buy stars or other useful items. Mini-games can be played two-on-two, one-on-three, or free-for-all.
Gameplay options include: Party Mode (up to four players can compete), Story Mode (one player battles the computer), and Minigame Mode (any of the unlocked minigames up to now can be played.)
