'''''Mario Party DS''''' is the fourteenth installment in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the third for handheld consoles, and the only one for the [[Nintendo DS]]. This is the last ''Mario Party'' game to be developed by [[Hudson Soft]], which was succeeded by [[NDcube]] in [[Mario Party 9|2012]]. This ''Mario Party'' game is unique for having the characters to be shrunken down to a very small size and competing in a "mega world" for the majority of the game. It includes more than 70 new minigames and five new game boards. Its functions include touch control, microphone control and dual-screen challenges. It is possible for up to four players to play in wireless mode using only one game card. This is the only handheld installment to feature the traditional ''Mario Party'' gameplay and would be the last installment overall to feature it until ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] eleven years later.

===Story Mode (1 Player)===
A single-player mode that follows the storyline of the game. It puts the player through the five boards of the game, requiring them to win a Battle Royal on each board and defeat the boss of it in a minigame to progress. CPU characters are chosen at random, each board lasts for 10 turns, and Bonus Stars are not awarded. If a CPU player wins the board, they attempt to face the boss, but lose, and the player has to play the board again. If the player and a CPU are tied for 1st place, the player wins.

*This is the last Nintendo-published ''Super Mario'' game to use the [[:File:Nintendo - Obsolete logo.svg|signature red Nintendo logo]] on the cover/packaging.
**Despite this, the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' uses the red logo for the packaging, making its last appearance in a ''Super Mario'' release overall.
*The North American manual has a mistake on Page 27. It states that during a 2 Player game (the player vs a CPU opponent or another player) in Free Play, only Battle or Boss minigames can be chosen. In reality, during a 2 Player match in Free Play, only Duel and Boss minigames can be chosen. This was fixed in the European manual.
