Party World as depicted in the intro

Party World, also referred to as Mario Party World, is the general setting in a few games in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party Advance, it is a floating theme park that hosts a variety of minigames and Gaddgets, unique objects created by Professor E. Gadd, as well as several unique lands hosted by Tumble, Toad, and Professor E. Gadd. Before entering the area, a passport must be created, which features some basic information as filled in by the player, including their name, birth month, hobby, basic face, biggest dream, and biggest secret. In Mario Party Advance, the player is invited to enjoy themselves, but as Toad is introducing them to the area, Party World gets attacked by Bowser and Koopa Kid. The two of them throw every minigame and Gaddget to the ground, towards Shroom City. Toad instructs the player to go after Bowser and collect everything that they knocked away in order to enjoy the games themselves.

Mario Party World from the opening of Mario Party 6

Mario Party World, inside the Miracle Book, is additionally the setting for Mario Party 6, where Brighton and Twila watch over and host parties. When the two fight, the land is disrupted, including throwing the skies into chaos, until Mario suggests to fill the Star Bank. When enough Stars are invested and the Miracle Book is filled, the two realize how hard Mario and his friends work to try to resolve the conflict and settle down and resume watching over Mario Party World until the end of time while everyone parties.

Mario Party World from Mario Party 6 is also referenced in the Mario Party: The Top 100 for the profiles of Brighton and Twila, albeit generically as "Mario's world".

Modes

Party World as depicted on the menu

In-game in Mario Party Advance, Party World serves as the hub world, presenting the player with a menu that leads them to Shroom City (where the bulk of the gameplay takes place), which is hosted by Tumble, or one of the three "Lands" where the collected minigames and Gaddgets can be played: Play Land, Party Land, and Challenge Land. Each Land offers a different take on the gameplay.

Screenshot	Mode	Details
	Play Land	Play Land is hosted by Toad and Professor Elvin Gadd, featuring the most basic incarnation of the gameplay. Each of the minigames and Gaddgets can be accessed here without any gimmicks. By using a Game Link Cable, a player who owns Mario Party Advance can connect to someone who does not own the game and let them temporarily play a single minigame or Gaddget on their own. A multiplayer game called Penguin Race can also be accessed here, which involves two to four players racing Penguins by comparing their records in minigames (with the player with the best records winning).
	Party Land	Party Land is hosted by Toad and Toadette, and focuses on playing minigames between players. One mode involves using a Link Cable and a single GamePak to play a Duel minigame against someone, and another requires using two Link Cables and two GamePaks to either compete for the best score in a set of Koopa Kid minigames or for the best score in random minigames in order to view the other player's secret. The other two modes allow up to 100 players to compete: in the 100-player Battle, one player sets a record, and if the succeeding two players fail to beat the record, the first player wins, though if one of them sets a better record, the two succeeding players are then required to beat their record, repeating the cycle until two players fail; in the 100-player Attack, one player sets a record in a minigame, and up to 100 other people can attempt to beat it, with the Attack ending either when one player succeeds or the limit is reached (at which point Toadette shows her "treasure" to the player, the Toad Force V Gaddget).
	Challenge Land	Challenge Land is mainly hosted by Toadette, and features modes dedicated to collecting coins. Mini-game Attack involves playing a gauntlet of minigames that are more difficult than usual, with a grand prize of 100,000 coins, Game Room involves playing the gambling minigames unlocked through regular gameplay, with all of the rewards for successful gambling still achievable, Duel Dash involves a gauntlet of duel minigames against a computer player, with a grand prize of 50,000 coins, and Bowser Land (hosted by Bowser and Koopa Kid) involves playing a string of Bowser minigames while trying to reach the end, with Bowser rewarding the player depending on how fast or how slow they were in reaching him. Challenge Land also features a shop, run by E. Gadd, where various Gaddgets can be bought, including the Posters, the Bonus Track, the Passport+, the Credits, and the Power Star.
