'''''Mario Party: Island Tour''''' is a game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released first in the Americas in November 22, 2013, and the second ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' game to be developed by [[ | '''''Mario Party: Island Tour''''' is a game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released first in the Americas in November 22, 2013, and the second ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' game to be developed by [[NDcube]]. It is the twelfth main installment (nineteenth overall) in the ''Mario Party'' series, the third installment for a handheld console, and the first ''Mario Party'' to be developed for the Nintendo 3DS. ''Mario Party: Island Tour'' has gameplay objectives unique to it compared to other entries in the ''Mario Party'' series. Rather than traveling around a board to obtain the most quantity of a particular item, either separately or together on a vehicle, players need to race their opponents to the finish in a linear, one-way board, with certain objectives in the race differing depending on the board played on. The game additionally retains several key elements from other ''Mario Party'' titles — namely, obtaining and using items to gain an advantage over opponents, and playing a wide variety of [[minigame]]s. | ||
Due to the platform being the Nintendo 3DS, some of the minigames take advantage of the system's features, such as the stereoscopic 3D, gyroscope, mic, augmented reality (AR), and the touch screen. The game additionally uses StreetPass, where players can play minigames if their system has picked up signals from other Nintendo 3DS systems that also have the game and unlock special items from doing so. Up to four people can play together either with local multiplayer or Download Play using only one game cartridge, similar to how ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and later ''Mario Party'' installments for the Nintendo 3DS handle multiplayer. | Due to the platform being the Nintendo 3DS, some of the minigames take advantage of the system's features, such as the stereoscopic 3D, gyroscope, mic, augmented reality (AR), and the touch screen.

The gang then cheers about it but then the letter suddenly traps the gang in bubbles to carry them though the sky to the Party Islands. | ||
While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, [[Bowser]] shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited and he wasn't, so he builds [[Bowser's Tower]], saying that anyone can join him at his evil party. He begins locking all the fun from the Party Islands in bubbles. He also puts evil magic in the bubbles made by the bubble machine to make [[bubble clone]]s of the gang to guard the tower. The player's selected character and a green [[Toad (species)|Toad]] advance up the tower and defeat the bubble clones as well as various bosses. After defeating Bowser in [[Bowser's Sky Scuffle]], the player's character then defeats the [[Mario]] bubble clones guarding the bubble machine and then destroys the bubble machine with a ground pound. Shortly afterward, Bowser reappears and boots the player's character and the green Toad out of the tower, inviting them to challenge him any time and that he won't be done. | While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, [[Bowser]] shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited and he wasn't, so he builds [[Bowser's Tower]], saying that anyone can join him at his evil party.
