Cute interpretation, loved the toybox feel. Worked very well for the system. Not much else to say.
Graphics: 7/10
- Story -
The Millenium Star will grant the title of Miracle Star to the best Mario Party player. No real plot, aside from providing a premise for the 1-player mode. Effective, and not too corny considering the entire purpose was only to promote the competitive spirit.
Story: 9/10
- Gameplay -
Mario Party games haven't really had too much variation over the years, from what I've seen: You go around various boards, use various items, all to try to get as many stars and coins as possible. Each turn ends with a minigame in which players compete for more coins. The minigames in Mario Party 3 were usually extremely fun, with only a few I didn't care for. The inclusion of the Duel Maps was great as well: A separate mode in which two players competed to see who could use various partners to knock out the life meter of the other player; But each player can have two partners, and catching up to them could be a challenge in itself!
Gameplay: 9/10
- Music -
The music was generally silly, catchy, and fun: Perfectly suited for the game in every way.
