The Mario Party series, which first started in 1999 with Mario
Party for the Nintendo 64, is a multiplayer Mario gaming series.
The Mario Party series currently has nine games in the series,
with spin-offs including Mario Party DS, Mario Party Advance,
and Mario Party-e.      In the games, players run across digital
game boards as classic Mario characters, collecting coins, items
and eventually stars. The game is divided into turns, usually in
ranks of ten to fifty. At the end of each turn a minigame is
played, and the winner receives a small coin bonus. Whoever has
the most most stars at the end wins.      Party Mode
Battle minigames first appeared in Mario Party 2. These games
are like the 4-player games, but are often more elaborate.
