Mario Party 1998

Is it still worth playing?

Hudson Soft's 1998 party game for the Nintendo 64, aimed at a young audience, the first Mario Party. It has six playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong, who argue about which of them is the Super Star and set out on adventures to settle it. Play is presented as a traditional board game with six boards themed after each character, and two more boards become available later. Each game on a board has four players, including at least one human and up to four, and any character not controlled by a person is played by the computer. A game lasts 20, 35 or 50 turns. Stars have to be bought from Toad with coins, which you earn in one of 50 minigames played at the end of each turn. Each turn still has a chance at a swing, in a board game that ends every turn with a minigame.
