Mario Party 2 (マリオパーティ 2 Mario Pāti Tsū) is the second in a series of board game style video games for Nintendo platforms, featuring popular Nintendo characters. It was released on the Nintendo 64 in Japan on December 17, 1999, following a North America release on January 24, 2000. It was released in Europe on October 12, 2000. This is the second Mario Party game for the Nintendo 64.
[edit] Playable charactersMain article: Mario Party (series)#Playable characters Mario Party 2 brings back the original six characters from the first game in the series (Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong). The only difference is that the characters now wear costumes appropriate for the board you select (e.g., Cowboy costumes in the Western Land board) [edit] Mini-gamesThere are a couple mini-games in Mario Party 2. They are divided into four-player, one vs. three, two vs. two, and battle games. The type of mini game is selected by what space the players land on. If all 4 players have the same color panel, whether it's red or blue, a four player mini game begins. If 2 players have a blue panel, and the other 2 have a red panel, then it's a two versus two mini game. If one player has a blue panel, and the others have a red panel, or vice versa, then a one versus 3 mini game begins. If a player lands on a battle space, a battle mini game begins.The mini games have varied objectives. For example the objective of "Mecha Marathon" is to get your wind up toy the furthest by repeatedly tapping A+B at the same time. Some mini games(such as "Face Lift" using the main characters instead of Bowser) have been edited and transferred and/or also retitled from the first Mario Party to this Mario Party, however. [edit] New featuresAll of the playable characters from the original game are still available, but this time, they are all dressed in costumes unique to the board players are playing on (except for Bowser Land, on which they wear their usual attire). Board characters include Toad, Baby Bowser, and Boo, with the notable absence of Bowser and Koopa Troopa (although both have roles in the game). Another new feature of the game is the introduction of buildings on the boards: the Item Shop and the Koopa Bank, as well as power ups such as rapid enlargement. Mario Party 2 also features several new spaces, with the Mini Game Space and Mushroom Space absent: the Battle Space, the Item Space, and the Bank Space. The Item Space activates mini-games specific to the board that allow one to collect an item, which is now used to further players' board strategy (as opposed to items being used to toggle universal settings in Mario Party). The Battle Space triggered the newly introduced Battle mini-game, which pits players against each other for a giant pot of coins. The Bank Space gives players who land on it all deposits made in the Koopa Bank by others, who must deposit five coins if they pass the space. On Bowser's board, this is reversed: players passing the bank get 5 coins, and the player landing on the bank must pay back the balance. The game also features seven brand new boards (including Mini- Game Coaster) with the return of Mini-Game Stadium. Forty-three new mini-games were introduced in Mario Party 2, while old Mario Party mini-games were updated and some were retitled. Three new types of mini-game were also introduced: the Battle mini-game, the Item mini-game, and the Duel mini-game. [edit] Other featuresAfter a character wins a mini game the prompt "Won" was used instead of "Wins". For example if Mario won a Mini Game in Mario Party 2 it would say "Mario Won!". It also was the first time the player could practice a mini-game before playing it in-game. [edit] External links
