    Product Description

    Join a jamboree jam-packed with more minigames than any Mario Party game to date! Gather your friends, pick a board, and have a Mario party. Choose your character, roll some dice, and compete in an assortment of minigames to see who can get the most stars. From running through merry-go-rounds to motion-control minigolf, there are seven boards and over 110 minigames to play! Go with the flow in Goomba Lagoon, search the mall for stars in Rainbow Galleria, or revisit the classics of Western Land and Mario’s Rainbow Castle.
