Mario Party 4

Mario Party 4 is the fourth game in the Mario Party series, and the first for the Nintendo GameCube. It follows the original's style of board game-esque gameplay, as well as the use of many items and mini-games. The game's goal, as with most of the others, is to collect stars. It is also the first Mario Party game to allow players teaming up.

Plot
Toad, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, Boo and Shy Guy all found the odd, mystical Party Cube. They find they can use it to hold a party and create game boards themed around their dreams. They invite all of their friends to a party. Eventually, Bowser enters to ruin things with his own board, hosted by Koopa Kid.

This is notable for being the first Mario Party game to actually have a plot revolving around an actual party.
