Mario Party Advance

Mario Party Advance is a game in 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

Now Mario must go and retrieve them all by traveling all over Shroom City and restore peace to Party World.
