'''''Mario Party Advance''''' is a game in the [[List of Mario Party Games|''Mario Party'' series]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Play mini-games and [[Gaddgets]] as you travel through [[Party World]]. Unlike the console games it's more single-player oriented. It doesn't have a four-player mode within the game itself. Instead, the game allows players to play [[Duel Mini-game]]s against other players, or download mini-games and Gaddgets to another GBA for friends to play. The game does however include a [[Bonus Board]] packaged with the game, which is a physical board game that uses the GBA game to let players play against each other in Gaddgets.

==Story==
[[Image:MPA Logo.jpg|thumb|left|Game logo]]
It's a normal day in Party World when the [[player]] first arrive there. [[Toad]] is telling Mario about the game, when [[Bowser]] drops in and scatters all of the mini-games and Gaddgets throughout [[Shroom City]]. Now Mario must go and retrieve them all by traveling all over Shroom City and restore peace to Party World.
