Description
Let's just be clear from the start: the Mario Party games aren't about
parties--you won't be feeding potato chips and punch to your
character--they're about competition. The series is called Mario Party
because, well, when you and some friends or family sit down to play it,
the party spontaneously happens.The story (if you need one) behind Mario Party 3
is that the precious Millennium Star has fallen into Princess Peach's
courtyard and Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong (his
friends call him DK) all want to claim it for their own. Hence the wild
and furious competition. The layout is like that of a traditional
board game, with players rolling dice to advance. Unlike your
traditional game board, though, this one is filled with all sorts of
strange hazards, like giant rolling snowballs and runaway mine carts.
The idea of the game is to collect the most coins, which are earned in
a variety of team and individual minigames. The minigames range from a
pizza-eating contest to Dorrie Dip, which lets you ride on the back of
the giant lake monster from Super Mario 64. But even
having the most coins won't ensure your victory. Boo's thievery, X's
game of chance, and Bowser's nasty tricks all have their ways of
redistributing the game's momentum. To win in this game, it's not
enough to be good--you've also got to be lucky. But that, of course, is
what makes this series so much fun.
