Mario Party 2: Difference between revisions

[[File:MP2 intro 1.png|thumb|200px|The cast argues over what to call their new land.]]

One day [[Mario]] and friends (save for [[Wario]]) decide to create a new world. They name this new world [[Mario Land (Mario Party 2)|Mario Land]]. But Wario is unhappy with that name, and introduces his own name; Wario Land. Thanks to Wario, an argument breaks out on what to call this new world. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] suddenly interrupts the group claiming she has a name they can all agree on. She reveals her name to be Peach Land and the characters double over in irony. As the group continues to argue, a sinister event is taking place on the other side of the unnamed world.

Bowser has set his sights on this new land, and quickly begins invading it for himself because the group is still arguing. A lone [[Koopa Troopa]] sees his invasion and then arrives to warn the group about Bowser's plans. However, since they are fighting they do not hear him. Toad then gets everyone's attention by saying whoever can beat Bowser will have the new land named after them. The cast quickly runs off to defeat Bowser and claim their prize.

The story then takes the characters across six lands ending in Bowser Land. Bowser meets the group in a showdown showing his [[Metal Mario|Metal Bowser]] power up and claims he is invincible. The character (depending on who won the board) then fights Bowser and with the power of the stars, is able to throw him into orbit.

The game then resumes to the stage format with Mario and friends triumphantly standing over a defeated Bowser. Toad exclaims that they live in peace in the new Mario Land (which does not change depending on the character). The curtain falls and each character comes out for one final bow, followed by the whole cast.

|align=left|This item is activated automatically whenever a player who possesses it is about to run into a locked gate. The key will open the gate – the player will be let through, and the gate will be locked again. Unlike in ''Mario Party 3'', where the player can discard this item whenever they would like it, this option is not present in this title. This is Luigi's favorite item.

|align=left|When used, the player using it will masquerade themselves as Bowser. The masqueraded player will then roll the Dice Block, and any players whom are passed will have to give twenty Coins to the masqueraded player.

 

A player can only hold one item at a time here. In the future installments, more items can be held, usually 3. In [[Bowser Land]], there is a shop run by [[Koopa Kid]], who will force the player who passed in front of it to buy an item on his choice at a higher price. It can be Mushroom for 12 coins, Skeleton Key for 12 coins, Warp Block for 17 coins, or Bowser Suit and Bowser Bomb (which are usually unobtainable via shopping) for 12 coins each.

|align=left|'''Bowser Land''' is the sixth and final board in ''Mario Party 2''. This board is unlocked when all the other boards have been played at least once. Players are not dressed in any costumes beside their normal attire, and they are not assigned a title. The rules of the game are turned around on this board. The effect this has is that, when a player passes by a bank, they gain five Coins instead of having to pay the equivalent sum of Coins. This will add up to a loan in the bank. Also, unlike in other boards (where any player who lands on a Bank Space will receive all previously deposited Coins), they will have to pay the full loan (or less, if they do not have enough; if they have no Coins, they will lose a Star). There is also an item shop where the owner, Baby Bowser, will force the player passing to buy an item he selects. While these features are prevalent, the main feature of this board is the Bowser Parade. After each five turns, the parade will start. Any player caught in the parade will lose two Coins per space, and they will eventually be sent back to the starting space. However, if no players are in the parade's path, the parade will be canceled. For players to control the path the parade will take, they can manipulate tiles with arrows on them. They can change the direction of the tiles by passing a Baby Bowser and paying him a fee of five Coins. The Happening Spaces near a red [[Warp Pipe]] make players warp to the next red Warp Pipe. Players who land on a Happening Space near the [[Blooper]] at the north-west corner of the board will be taken to a "ride", where they will go in a circle until they manage to land on another Happening Space.
