OH MY GOD! THESE GRAPHICS ARE SOOOO SWEET!!! Other than Metroid Prime, I'd say they're the best on GCN.
Controls- 7/10
The controls vary a lot, most of the time they're easy to understand, but they can get really annoying at times.
Characters- 8/10
A lot of characters, but no Bowser (not to play with at least, you get to wrestle him and a bunch of other stuff). There's Mario, Wario, Luigi, Waluigi, Peach, Daisy, DK, and Yoshi. Wow I remembered them all.
Items-9/10
Good items. Lets see there's the Sticky Sticker, Super Mushroom, Mushroom, Super Poison Mushroom, Poison Mushroom, Magic Lamp, Item Bag, Chomp Whistle, Boo Light, Boos Crystal Ball and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.
Music- 5/10
Eh, kind of gayish sounds, but you know, if you were younger you'd love it probably.
Fun factor- 9/10
Oh, amazing game, loved it from the start. You'll get sick of it soon, so don't buy it. It’s worth a rent and maybe a re-rent, as with all the other Mario parties. Of course, if u got a lot of friends...
