Mario Party 6

About

Mario Party 6 throws another chaotic get together where luck and timing matter more than skill. Players pick from a roster of Mushroom Kingdom favorites and battle in over 80 mini contests. Some challenges require quick button mashing while others let you shout commands through a included mic. The board itself shifts with the time of day showing different characters. Up to four people can play at once on split screen. The voice commands add a quirky twist that feels ahead of its time. While not every mini game is a classic the sheer variety keeps things from getting stale. The time based board changes offer small surprises but the real draw is the multiplayer chaos. 20 years later it still shows how durable the party game formula can be.
