Mario Party Advance

Mario Party Advance is a game of the Mario Party series for the Game Boy Advance. Play mini-games and Gaddgets as you travel through Party World. Unlike the console games it's more single-player oriented. It doesn't have a four-player mode within the game itself. Instead, the game allows players to play Duel Mini-games against other players, or download mini-games and Gaddgets to another GBA for friends to play. The game does however include a Bonus Board packaged with the game, which is a physical board game that uses the GBA game to let players play against each other in Gaddgets.

Story
It's a normal day in Party World when the player first arrive there. Toad is telling Mario about the game, when Bowser drops in and scatters all of the mini-games and Gaddgets throughout Shroom City. Now Mario must go and retrieve them all by traveling all over Shroom City and restore peace to Party World.
