There are four playable characters in ''Mario Party Advance'', the least amount of any ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' game to date. It does, however, boast many more non-playable characters that the player helps out during the story mode, as well as other supporting characters than most other ''Mario Party'' games. This is the only ''Mario Party'' to not feature Wario.

===Challenge Land===
Challenge Land, hosted by Toadette, is a mode in which players can play minigames to earn coins. In Challenge Land, there is a Mini-Game Attack, the Game Room, a Duel Dash, Bowser Land, and an option to trade coins for Gaddgets.

====Mini-Game Attack====
====Mini-Game Attack====
The player selects one of the four characters, and meets the host, Toad. Here, the player will play through fifteen mini-games in order to win coins. After Toad explains the instructions, a list of three minigames will appear, and the player can pick which one they think they can win. The minigames appear as they would in Free Play, but now have winning conditions akin to that Shroom City, but notably more difficult by increasing the criteria compared to Shroom City or making the computer players smarter. If a player loses a minigame, they will lose everything they accumulated up to this point. If they win five games, they can win 1,000 coins, ten games results in 10,000 coins, and 100,000 coins for all fifteen games. During the attack, they can either keep their total, or use their special items to help.

==Quests==
The following is a list of all fifty quests in ''Mario Party Advance''. Quests are obtained by talking to non-playable characters around Shroom City. Nearly every NPC gives only one quest, although some of them may be tied to quests given by others. A few non-playable characters, such as [[Mrs. Shroomlock]], are not tied to any quests at all. Bowser also gives out multiple quests, letting the player obtain them as they complete other quests. Once the player successfully completes a quest, they earn either a Gaddget or a minigame.
