[edit] Plot

Toad, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, Boo and Shy Guy all found the odd, mystical Party Cube. According to the instruction booklet, they have invited all of the game characters to celebrate the birthday of a character (the character is chosen by the player). However, instead of just giving the character the presents, they make the characters win the presents theirselves. Eventually, Bowser enters to ruin things with his own board, hosted by Koopa Kid (known in PAL regions as Mini Bowser).

• Toad's Midway Madness
• Koopa's Seaside Soiree
• Goomba's Greedy Gala
• Boo's Haunted Bash

[edit] Trivia

• Mario Party 4 is notable for being the first Mario Party game to actually have a plot revolving around an actual party.

• Mario Party 4 is also notable for being the only game in the Mario Party series that doesn't feature the Piranha Plant in any board, mini-game, item or any other place at all. The Piranha Plant only makes a brief cameo in the background of the Option Room.

• Mario Party 4 is the only title in the series with the characters saying "Oh, I lost!" or another form of saying disappointment when losing a minigame.

• This is the first Mario Game to have Princess Peach and Princess Daisy in their current main dresses and where Princess Daisy's hair is short.
