This is one party you definitely don't want to miss!

Mario Party comes to the DS Mario and his friends are shrunk down for the game and this causes once harmless locations to take on a bigger challenge. Play in five different game boards, such as Wiggler`s Garden and Toadette`s Music Room. The ultimate goal is to stop Bowser and his latest plan.
