About this product
Product Information
- The Mario Brothers have been one of the staple franchises for Nintendo when it comes to popular games. This chapter of the saga, Mario Party 9, builds off the Super Mario Bros characters in a fun way that allows multiple people to duke it out in a wide variety of different mini games. Each person will get to choose from different characters like Mario, Wario, Toad, and many others. The installment allows up to four players to join in on the excitement and to team up in pairs for some friendly competition. Although this game had a release date in 2012 for the Nintendo Wii, it's compatible with the Wii U and the Wii U gamepad.Mario Party 9 for the Nintendo Wii console is actually the 12th installment of the Mario Party video game series, the 9th for Nintendo consoles, and the second for the Wii. Mario Party 9 is playable in single-player mode, or it can be played in multiplayer mode for two to four players. Among the new features for Mario Party 9 is the ability for gamers to go across the stages together to battle stage bosses, overcome obstacles, and collect the Mini Stars that Bowser stole. However, you each must remain competitive in boosting your own individual scores. With 80 different mini-game options, Mario Party 9 ensures long hours of gameplay to truly get the party started.One feature that separates this new installment of the game from others is that for the first time in this franchise, each of the levels ends with a boss battle. This is the chance for each of the players to fight the classic bosses like Bowser and King Boo. Although there is a team component to these battles, the competition to get the highest score is still in the game for fans of the earlier versions. Players will also be battling for points on a variety of different levels like Toad Road and many other familiar territories from the Mario franchise. When you purchase this game, you'll be able to enjoy hours upon hours of fun with the different mini games with titles like Buddy Bounce, Skyjinks, Chain Event, and Polar Extreme. Games are divided into three different categories: There are 44 free-for-all games, which allow you to complete tasks either alone or with teammates. Ten different "1-vs-Rivals" games allow you to play against others in head-to-head competition. There are also 10 "Bowser Jr." games, which are built for younger gamers who are learning hand-eye coordination, reading, and counting skills. These can accommodate up to two players at a time, but they can be played solo too. The great part about Mario Party 9 for Wii is that it's perfect for all ages. This family-oriented game allows the generation who grew up with the franchise to connect with a new generation of gamers for some classic fun. The mini games may have you working as a team to get across a level filled with obstacles, or you may need to put your painting skills to the test.

A new twist to mario party!
If you're a true mario party fan then you won't ...mind the small differences between this one and the others! You'd think that riding around in one vehicle with the other players is boring but with all of the new boards and mini games added to this game, makes it worth it. Give it a try!

Good for cooperative gameplay but bad for competitive gameplay
I bought this... game quite a while ago and since then have only played it a handful of times. I have only tried Party mode for the game so I have not done an in-depth playthrough of the game but in my opinion it's the weakest game in the Mario Party Franchise that I've played. The gameplay isn't necessarily bad and it does offer a unique take on the way Mario Party is played. However Party mode has you work as a team and loses the competitive aspect of the game which has made the series so much fun for me and my friends. Overall not a bad game, worth a try if you're a die-hard Mario fan or want to play a cooperative game with younger kids. Not great for competitive gamers or if you're looking to play a game with your friends that is competitive, Mario Party 8 is a much better game for the latter.

Fun, Great For Multiple People of all ages
this is a great game especially i...f you are into the mario party sequels that keep coming out. this one has a particular twist with keeping everyone together (versus all over the board) in a vehicle with one driver switching off as the captain (maintains certain advantages in mini games). There are a few unlockables that get released once the solo game is beat and poses somewhat of a challenge. there are also more unlockables in the "museum" of the game which allows you to unlock things with points that are achieved by playing different multiplayer boards. Fun for all ages that can understand the basic controls which are instructed before each mini game. If you are a pro at mario party games then there is even a master level difficulty that makes it a challenge for even the best of the best. most maps are 30 min-60 mins depending on how many players and how long the mini games go for. For those of you looking for more of a Q&A review type: -I bought this product because I have played mario party before and like the board game interaction and knew my wife would enjoy it as well with my kid when he is old enough. -the only thing i dislike is that the unlockables are in a way lacking and I hoped for more boards to be able to play other than 8. price is still pretty high for a wii game but its worth it. -compared to others it is different but similar. i would still buy it even if i had all the other mario party games. the mini games in this are so much fun.

Pretty Fun.
I've played many Mario Parties. This is the first one I have pla...yed on the Wii. The largest difference has to be that everyone progresses through the game board at the same time. Every player takes a turn being the captain driving some sort a vehicle around the game board. This keeps the game very straight forward and cuts back on the amount of times each player takes looking at the map and trying to figure out where to go. Another great aspect is this game fools you into thinking that you are working together. There is still a winner at the end of the round and you still want to beat your friends and family at every mini game, but the story put forth in each board makes the game feel as if it is a collective effort to get to the end. Having everyone as a winner is great for my two 4 year old nephews because when one loses a game the other rubs it, which normally leads to a fight or arguing. Now everyone can be satisfied by beating the boss at the end of the board, even if you lost.

A Welcome Addition to the Mario Party Series, Welcome NDCube.
This is a welc...ome addition to the Mario Party line. It takes the old format and changes it COMPLETELY. Winning mini games doesn't guarantee winning, and luck is an element to it, but also there is plenty of skill involved as well. The deck is stacked when facing the bad guy since Bowser JR has his own space alongside his big bad dad Bowser, and playing solo mode you have one or two players playing on Bowser's behalf. The boards are all different and have their unique elements like boards always have in Mario Party. It's a very fun game and doesn't take forever to play either, although there are indeed lots of things to do in this game. I recommend it to people looking for a new direction in Mario Party, because this shows that the new developer, NDCube, has potential.
