Editing Card Party

'''Card Party''' is a side-game from [[Mario Party 5]]. It is very similar to ''Mario Party's'' main game, except it's in the form of a card game. Hosted by [[Mamar]] (in charge of Bonus Mode), this board is entirely made up of cards, with character game pieces instead of actual characters. The first thing that players did was choose the size of the board (7x7, 8x8, 9x9, or 10x10). Then, the game pieces were chosen ([[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[Daisy]], or [[Waluigi]]). Next, the order of play was chosen by picking cards numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. The player that picked 1 went first, and so on. When that was done, players chose where to start on the board. Once the game started, each player rolled the dice (not [[Dice Block]]) and moved a certain number of spaces. As they went turning cards over, they could pick which direction they wanted to go. When a new card was turned over, it revealed a Path Card, Item Card, Event Card, Bowser Card, or Star Card.

These cards simply opened a pathway for players to continue traveling. It was where they chose which direction they wanted to go, depending on which way the path went. It was always best to head toward the Star cards, as the winner was determined by the number of Stars. Sometimes, another die was revealed from under a Path Card, letting the player roll it and adding the number rolled to the current number of spaces left.

These cards gave useful items that you can use by pushing B at the beginning of your turn. The items used are taken from the main game and have similar effects.

====Cursed Mushroom====

The user had to stop a Cursed Mushroom wheel to determine which opponent took the curse, bringing their maximum die roll down to three.

====Mushroom====

Players get two dice to roll, possibly doubling their move. (three if the Dice Bonus occurs, possibly tripling the number of spaces rolled)

====Warp Pipe====

Using this card turns one card into a four-way junction and revealed all the Path Cards around it.

====Switch Places====

You trade places with a random opponent.

====Send Away====

That player goes back to their starting space, off the board.

====Boo====

This summoned Boo to steal a Star Card (regardless of what kind) from another player and give it to the player.

====Red Boo====

Summoned an angry red Boo that Stole the player's Star Card (regardless of what kind) and gave it to someone else.

When this card was turned over, [[Bowser]] or [[Koopa Kid]] appeared to cause trouble.

====Star Card====

Worth 1 Star.

====Double Star====

Worth 2 Stars.

====Ztar Card====

Worth -1 Star (it was possible to have a negative number of Stars thanks to these cards).

If one player is in fourth place when left only one card in game, one of those events can happen.

The fourth place player rolls two green dice with a Star in one of each of their faces, if the player got either or both Star faces, the player gets a Star or two.

Adds one more die to the player in last place. If a Mushroom Card was used, then he/she will roll three dice.

====Stop Time====

The player rolls the die and the number on the die becomes the number of turns that the player has to move. Only the last place player moves during that time and he/she will move up to 36 spaces during that event.

====Item Bonus====

===End===

At the end of the game, the player with the most Stars wins. If there was a tie, players played a game to determine the winner. Eight cards were placed facing down, and players take turns choosing cards until one player revealed the Star Card. This player was then declared the winner.
