How to Play Mario Party 2
Mario Party 2 plays a lot like the first Mario Party game. Players move around different game boards. Their goal is to collect coins and then trade those coins for stars.
Moving on the Board
To move, players hit a dice block. This block shows numbers from one to ten. After all four players have taken their turn, a mini-game begins.
Winning Coins and Stars
The player who wins the mini-game earns coins. The main goal is to get the most stars by the end of the game. The player with the most stars wins!
Item System
This game introduced a new item system. Players can buy items from a special item shop. You can also get items by landing on an Item Space. This triggers an item mini-game. Players can hold one item at a time to help them on the board.
Battle Mini-Games
Mario Party 2 also brought in battle mini-games. These happen when a player lands on a Battle Space. Before the mini-game starts, coins are taken from all players. The winner gets 70 percent of the total coins. The second-place player gets 30 percent. The other two players don't get any coins from this type of mini-game.
Duel Mini-Games
Duel mini-games are another new feature. A player can start one by using a Dueling Glove item. The player chooses an opponent to challenge. They also decide how many coins they want to bet. Both players' coin totals are reduced by the bet amount. The player who wins the duel mini-game takes all the wagered coins.
Koopa Bank
The Koopa Bank is also new in this game. When a player passes by a Bank Space, they have to pay five coins into the bank. If a player lands directly on the Bank Space, they get all the coins that have been collected in the bank so far!
Game Boards
There are six different game boards in Mario Party 2. On most boards, the characters wear special costumes. These costumes match the theme of the board they are playing on.
