Mario Party 9: Difference between revisions

'''''Mario Party 9''''' is the ninth home console installment of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] and the second and final installment for the [[Wii]]. The game was the first in the series to be developed by [[NDcube]] instead of [[Hudson Soft]], as a result of the latter's acquisition by [[Konami]]. It is also the sixteenth in the series overall. The game was released on March 2, 2012 in Europe, in Australia on March 8, 2012, in North America on March 11, 2012, and in Japan on April 26, 2012. The host of the game is a yellow [[Toad (species)|Toad]] for the boards while a blue Toad is the host for minigames, and a green Toad appears near the end of boards to initiate an event similar to the [[Last Five Turns Event]] from past ''Mario Party'' games. This is also the twenty-fifth and the final installment of the ''Super Mario'' franchise overall to be released for the Wii console. Unlike ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the game features widescreen support.

It is designed after [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and features lush grassland, flowers and windmills. A broken bridge prevents players from moving forward, and if the players do not roll a certain total number, they fall to a lower route filled with [[Mini Ztar Space]]s.

Players move throughout a big castle, which is haunted with [[Boo]]s. After a Captain passes a Boo Portrait, a Boo comes out of it. If a Captain is caught by a Boo, then a Boo steals half of their Mini Stars. Boos follow the players until they leave the current hallway, or enter an alternative room with lights. Before the players can face the boss, the Captain must roll a higher number than the specified numeral on the gate.
