REVIEW: Mario Party 3 1999/2000, Nintendo 64
	By: Nintendo/Hudson Type: Board game Players: 1-4 Difficulty: Medium

I must say, Nintendo is getting a bit overdosive on non adventure games. What I mean by that is I don't see too many adventure games, for Mario that is. Quote (I think they forgot about the other guys) what that quote meant was this.

Games for Mario- 9
Games for Zelda- 2
Games for Kirby- 1
Games for fox- 1
Games for samus- 0 oh now that is bad, thank god for gamecube.

I'm not to really insult Nintendo cuz they r doing a better job than me, but they could have made more games for the other guys, or make them star in mario's games. A tennis court inside hyrule castle, oh and in the wispy woods, the tree could blow the players around as they try to hit the ball.

Nevertheless im sure Nintendo can still make good games, even if Mario is always in the spotlight.

One of the last games for n64, is the final saga in the mp series, for Nintendo 64. This one also has a 1p mode and a really dumbass storyline. Every 1000 years a really bright star is born, it is called the millennium star. This newborn for some reason has big eyebrows and a moustache, are the people at Nintendo hq sure it only turned 1000, and not the other thing I said?

Meanwhile, Mario and his friends are relaxing at peaches castle. Yes Mario finally got a long awaited break from gamebuisness. The star fell right into the yard, and 10 seconds later all of Mario's friends were transported into a toy box, we already know you are selling toys.

Mario and his friends will try anything to obtain that star.

And so a totally stupid adventure begins.

Unlike the first two there are now three files to choose from, make one and then choose your mode you will be playing now. Don't worry about the no data saved thing on the side, yet. The two modes are as follows; story mode is the adventure to obtain the m1000 star. You must collect stickers after winning a specially made board game, stickers like wits, beauty, and so on.
It is hard to do but it is about time mp makes a good challenge, (other than the challenge of keeping your cool). Second mode is were the fun comes in, party mode, the 4p mode, the well known mode, you get the idea. Gather 3 friends and transport to your board game. You will find toad is no longer your guide. A new character is instead. His mane is tumble and he was made out of a dice block, yet to keep the mushroom thing going they keep the enlarged dice block on the guy's head. Once you get into the game you will notice the first big flaw, the board maps have absolutely no problem in them, the first game had individual problems in each, and the second, the winner kicks the ass out of bowser. So there is really no point but to collect stars.

Most of the shops are back, baby bowser is now a good guy.

Minigames, another flaw comes, in all the minigames I have played I didn't find not one from the older one. The duel minigames replace the duels, there is still 1 on 3, 2 on 2, 1 on 1 on 1 on 1. a new feature are the gamble games, gamble all your money in hopes of winning.

One good thing that really made me happy is that you don't have to pay for the minigames, it is totally luck in hoping you will get a new game. I see how they have improved, 1st only you can get coins, second everyone gives the stars and coins they collected, 3rd find the mingames and that is it. Sweet.

Sound: everyone now says when they win, " im the best", when they lose " oh I lost". Mario's, Wario's, and Luigi's voices have been changed. It all sounds a bit more computerized. Music is all the same &(%^*^%%.

Gameplay, to help with gameplay you can now play as the tomboy Daisy, and the long limbed Waluigi ( cant they come up with something better?)
They also took away the battle board where you only play minigames and collect coins, they instead made a duel map were you get minions to kill your enemy, such as pirrana plants, goombas, koopas whathaveyou. If you manage to get to your opponent your minion will attack them. It is kinda like paper Mario, oh paper Mario if only they were all adventures.

Overall it's all the same, one minigame made me laugh, the duel one were u are on the train, when you make a wrong turn and fall off that one always works on me. Nevertheless Mario party three is something you should try. - jj_gamer 75%
