As someone who regularly plays every Mario Party in the series, this game is definitely one of my top 3 picks. No microphone is required to play this game. Simply go to the in-game options menu and set microphone usage to your controller if you want access to microphone modes/minigames. (Mario Party 6 has this same feature and option.) If you have a Gamecube or an RVL-001 model Wii capable of playing Gamecube games, I'd recommend getting it. This specific Mario Party might work better for older children (and of course adults) than really young ones. Techie info on multiplayer gameplay: -The game supports up to 8 players, but since four controllers can only be used, two people must share each controller. This can be avoided with 4 or less people playing. -It is possible to control and play as two characters simultaneously if you want. This is not recommended if you are new to the game, but it's a possibility that is surprisingly easier than it sounds. -The game has general party modes for 1v1v1v1, 2v2 (where players can choose to double up on a controller), 2v2v2v2 (where players can choose to double up on a controller), and an alternative 1v1 gameplay-style mode (called Solo Cruise). I believe you have to unlock the last one for multiplayer purposes in game, if I remember correctly. -If you do happen to own a physical microphone, everyone shares the same mic. The mic content is only available in situations where there are 4 players or less. Of course, you are not forced to use the mic, and mic content can be played on Gamecube controllers anyway. -Like in every other console Mario Party before this one, it is possible to add/remove/switch players in a game with another. This specific game requires at least one human playing at all times, however.

I imagine young kids and adults alike are not as likely to get frustrated at this game as some of the other ones.

I'm convinced the show is rigged. Cool game idea, but it's way better off as a knock-off replica show on another station. If we can just let a televised game be a game and not a documentary (I'm looking at you, production team), this would be 5 stars beyond all shadows of doubt. But it's not. On an unrelated note (not impacting my final score)... ...what the heck happened to the review section for this show? Can you find another one besides this one that doesn't talk about extremist discrimination? And not generally from 0-2 years prior to this review I'm writing...?

From a Mario Party fanatic who consistently plays every game in the series: 1.) I would argue that the side modes in this game make the best collection for a single Mario Party game. (e.g. Super Duel Mode & Card Party) 2.) 7 very "simple" boards, all with the same, "classic" ruleset of 20 coins for a star with the star constantly moving. No other Mario Party has this many "classic"-styled boards nor this many "simple" boards. Odd. 3.) The dual-item system is awesome! ...But items are very rare in this game compared to the other games and it costs coins to use an item for yourself. (There's an unofficial mod called Mario Party 5+ that fixes this.) 4.) Story Mode is rather different in this game compared to the other games with a story in the series. Overall, this is still a consistently high-ranking Mario Party in polls, and it is definitely a top half Mario Party in the series. It isn't in my personal top 5, but I've seen it win 1st in some polls in the past.
