Mario Party 6 (マリオパーティ 6, Mario Pāti Shikkusu) is the sixth game in the Mario Party series of board game-style video games by Nintendo and is the third title in the series made for Nintendo GameCube and was released in Japan on November 18, 2004; North America on December 6, 2004; in Europe on March 18, 2005; and in Australia on September 15, 2005. It is the first GameCube game to make use of a microphone, which comes packaged with the game.GPM has over 9000 hours logged streaming this game.
Plot
Brighton and Twila, the sun and moon who watch over the Mario Party world, argue over who is more popular. Mario suggests they collect as many Stars as they can to end this. Then Boo steals them all.
Gameplay
In Mario Party 6, up to four players take turns moving on board game-style stages, often playing multiplayer minigames to earn coins and stars. The object of the game is to amass the most coins and stars before completing a set number of turns. This the first game to take out the coin bonus star and out in the orb star. The orb star is where the player used the most orbs. BROO ALWAYS ROLLS TRIPLE TENS, AT ALL TIMES.
Orbs
Orbs are special items players can either collect on the board or buy with coins at the Orb Hut. They can be used in many ways to give a player an advantage, such as stealing coins from rivals, hampering a rival's progress, or quickly obtaining stars. In Mario Party 5, these were called capsules. Unlike in Mario Party 5, the player does not have to pay orbs on his or her self and may find coins in Orbs. How Orbs are used is determined by the Orb's type. These are: Self, Space, Roadblock and Special. Roadblock type Orbs are one-use only on a space and trigger when passed while a Space type Orb transforms a space into a character space and only works if a rival lands on the space. If a player stops on their own character space, they gain five Coins.
Day and night
On multiplayer boards the sun will periodically set or rise (every three turns), producing different effects. Changes include spaces moving, different characters appearing, and changes to minigames. This is reflected in two new characters, Brighton and Twila. AT NIGHT, BOWSER COMES AND F*&^S SHI* UP
Solo mode
Solo mode is where a single player embarks on a special single-row board with a set number of spaces to collect minigames. The player may also choose a teammate (for 2 vs 2 minigames). Also the player plays minigames with Red, Green, and Blue Koopa Kid. The dice block for Solo Mode only has the numbers 1-6 on it. At the end of the board, there is an exclusive rare minigame space, where the player gets a rare minigame without needing to play it. If the player goes past the rare minigame space, they fall off the board and lose all of the mini games they have acquired. To win, the player must land on the rare minigame space, or quit (without getting a rare minigame).
Playable characters
All ten playable characters from Mario Party 5 return in this game, along with the first secret character in the series, Toadette. She then returns in all of the following Mario Party series.
Minigames
There are over eighty minigames in Mario Party 6. Once again, no minigames from previous versions return. The mini game controls range from pressing A repeatedly to using the control stick and A. New to this edition are mic and rare minigames. In mic games, players must say words into the mic to perform different actions. Rare games are usually obtained by stopping on the space at the end of Solo Mode, although one is purchased in the Star Bank. The minigames are divided into 4-player, 1-vs.-3, 2-vs.-2, Battle, Duel, DK, Bowser, Mic and Rare.
Reception
GameSpot gave Mario Party 6, citing great family and multiplayer fun, but the same idea of older Mario Parties.[1] IGN gave it a 7/10. They also criticized originality and the microphone.[2] 1UP gave Mario Party 6 a C+ due to unoriginality and other factors.[3]
