Mario Party 8 is a fun party video game made for the Nintendo Wii console. It's the eighth main game in the popular Mario Party series. This game was the very first Mario Party title released for the Wii. It came out in North America on May 29, 2007. Players in Europe got it on June 22, 2007, and in Japan on July 26, 2007.
How to Play the Game
Mario Party 8 plays a lot like other games in the Mario Party series. The main goal is to move around a game board. As you move, you collect coins. You can then use these coins to buy special items called stars. To move your character, you use a dice block. This block has numbers from one to ten.
After all four players have taken their turn, everyone plays a mini-game. The player who wins the mini-game gets extra coins. At the end of the game, the player with the most stars wins! You play the game using the Wii Remote, which lets you do different actions.
Game Boards and Characters
There are six different game boards to explore in Mario Party 8. Some boards let you get stars in the usual way. This means you find a star space and buy a star. Other boards have unique ways to earn stars.
For example, on the "Koopa's Tycoon Town" board, you get stars differently. Players put their coins into hotels on the board. The player who puts the most coins into a hotel gets a star for that hotel. It's a bit like the game Monopoly.
You can choose from fourteen different characters to play as. Two characters, Blooper and Hammer Bro., appear for the first time as playable characters in this game.
