How to Play Mario Party DS

Mario Party DS — About this game
Bowser shrinks Mario and his friends, turning familiar objects into oversized party-board landscapes. Players take turns rolling dice, choosing routes and using items to collect coins and Stars. After everyone moves, a minigame changes the pace with a short contest that can use buttons, the stylus or the microphone. Each minigame has its own instructions and a practice option, so learning the next challenge matters alongside board strategy. Story Mode gives a solo route through the boards against computer opponents, while other modes focus on party matches, unlocked minigames or puzzles. Board events and different Star rules make the most profitable path change during play.
