Mario Party 7

About

Mario Party 7 is a party game where you and up to seven others battle through 80 minigames on a floating cruise ship. Play as Mario and friends or new characters while competing in puzzle, action, and card challenges. The cruise setting lets you explore themed areas as you collect stars and outmaneuver Bowser. Split-screen multiplayer keeps everyone in the same room, with co-op options for team play. Microphone support returns for voice-based minigames, adding another layer to the chaos. The game stands out for its sheer variety and accessibility. Most minigames require simple controls but offer enough depth for competitive play. While some feel recycled, the mix of mechanics ensures there’s something for every type of player. With a 4-player co-op mode and split-screen that works surprisingly well, it’s a solid choice for group gatherings. A 7.8/10 on Metacritic reflects its reputation as a fun but not impressive entry in the series.
