Future Dream

Future Dream is a board map in Dream Depot seen in Mario Party 5. The flavor text in the instruction booklet makes a reference to Neil Armstrong's famous quote "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Created from dreams of the future, the board is a set of three space stations and is reminiscent of low-budget television shows. The only way to travel about the stations is by teleportation devices, rocket ships, or shortcuts.

The ? Spaces on the central platform are next to three rocket ships. Players can use these if they land on the spaces. Each rocket takes players to either the left or right platforms' landing pads. There is a rocket ship game on the left station that can be played only if a player lands on the corresponding ? Space. In this game, one controls the levitation of his or her ships to try and collect coins from UFOs. Two more ? Spaces on a robot's arms on the right station activate a slot machine. If played skillfully, players may earn special capsules by lining up the slots. A Mushroom Capsule is the consolation prize. Finally, the ? Spaces next to the "air taxis" on the left and right platforms allow players ride from one station to the other for a ten coins fee. Players can also use the floating platform on the left or right stations as a small shortcut.

Story Mode
In Story Mode, Bowser and Koopa Kid attempt to take over Future Dream. When the player arrives to challenge them, Koopa Kid takes over the area and divides into three people: Red Koopa Kid, Green Koopa Kid, and Blue Koopa Kid. The player fights in a party against the Koopa Kids and eventually wins, leaving Bowser and Koopa Kid to escape. This battle took place on a simplified version of Future Dream.
