Mario Party Point

Mario Party Points (also shortened as MP Points) are points that players can gain in Mario Party DS, Mario Party 9, Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party 10 and Super Mario Party. They are similar to Cruise Mileage Points from Mario Party 7 and Carnival Cards from Mario Party 8. There are many ways to gain Mario Party Points, and they are rewarded for almost every aspect of the game. For example, the player may gain Mario Party Points by moving through spaces. Mario Party Points are used to achieve badges and Character Figures seen at the Gallery in Mario Party DS. When reaching a certain amount of points, the player may win one of these prizes.
