marioparty2.com was the official website for Mario Party 2. It was published by Nintendo in 2000. The site was linked to from marioparty.com for a period, though this link was removed after the marioparty3.com domain was retired. Like marioparty.com, the website was interactive, and featured seven different browser games for viewers to play. The site was eventually redirected[2] to nintendo.com, though it was brought back online in a broken state[3] in 2004 before being redirected to nintendo.com again in 2010.[4] The site was redirected to mario.nintendo.com in 2013,[5] though Nintendo's ownership of the domain lapsed[6] in late 2016. The website has since been purchased by various third-party companies.
Details[edit]
The objective of the site was to reach "Superstar status" by visiting the site's sections on each board. Within each section was an Adobe Shockwave game that would net the player select items if they completed it. Collecting these items would fill in the item spaces on the main screen - Dice Blocks in various colors that have a silhouette of the item in the center. The included Adobe Shockwave games were as follows:
- Nomiss, located in the Pirate Land section. Completing this game netted the player the Super Mushroom and the Golden Mushroom.
- Melon Mayhem, located in the Western Land section. Completing this game netted the player the Warp Box and the Bowser Suit.
- Dinky Rinky, located in the Space Land section. Completing this game netted the player the Plunder Chest and the Dueling Glove.
- Crazy Counting, located in the Mystery Land section. Completing this game netted the player the Boo Bell and the Magic Lamp.
- Goodness Rakes, located in the Horror Land section. Completing this game netted the player the Bowser Bomb and the Skeleton Key.
The website also featured a section on Bowser Land, which was presumably unlocked after collecting all of the items. This section featured an unknown Adobe Flash game.[7] Unlike marioparty.com, this website does not appear to have featured much in the way of descriptions for the game's boards and minigames, instead focusing on the interactive element. Aside from the browser games, the only known pages that the site featured are a page detailing information for parents,[8] A frequently-asked questions page,[9] and a page also appearing in the first site that warns players not to rotate the Control Stick with their palm.[10]
