Mario Party 2
Template:Infobox Mario and his friends return in this sequel to Mario Party. Mario and the gang have are fighting for the rights for a new amusement park, and whoever defeats Bowser gets the place named after him/her.
Objective and Rules
The objective is easy and similar to the previous Mario Party: obtain stars and defeat Bowser. This game introduces the first use of collectible items in Mario Party's history. (The first game had items, but they simply added optional rules or game modes to the game.) Each board has its own tricks and turns. The playable characters, as well as Bowser, wear different outfits based on the theme of the board.
Players can no longer lose coins in normal mini-games. Battle, Item and Duel mini-games are introduced in Mario Party 2. Battle Mini-games give every player a chance to win 70% of the stocked Jackpot taken from players (usually a set amount). The top two get a 70/30 share, while the bottom two get nothing; a leftover coin is given randomly.
