==1.0 Mario Party series mini-games==
There's one thing Mario Party fans would craze for its quick, colorful, and well-written pun names for us to witness, it's mini-games! It's basically how the gameplay entirely changes from being 4th place into 1st place just by participating in these events. Types of mini-games range from the most common '4 player mini-games' to life-risking 'Bowser mini-games' for a plot to receive, or lose Coins in the end of each mini-game with varied results determined by mini-game rules, and play outcomes.

There are a batch of articles that are in need for a rewrite overhaul, and a take on doing research for beginners (and experienced) who wanted to write seemingly small articles that are worth good info. Writers will need to research the gameplay from the beginning to the end, the type of mini-game, how the mini-game received a written pun, or wordplay, differences from the US (since most of the users in the wiki actually live in the US) and other regions by anything/everything, and if possible, that trivia section.

This section is usually recommended for Mario Party fans who at least owned a copy of a single game from the series. For those who played the game a few times, a couple of times, or haven't played the game at all, your in luck. You can still help this project in favor of gaining experience in the wiki, and at least become an inspired Mario Party fan as part of the whole Mario series. Here's a short list of resources you should try researching and gathering information for both types of people:


<br>
[http://www.mariowiki.com YouTube] - A fine place to watch gameplay videos from those mini-games. Search the videos at your own risk.<br>
[http://www.gamefaqs.com GameFAQs] - Written logs of walkthroughs. You must write the info from the files with your own words. Do not copy, or add questionable info.

If you want to participate in this project, you should identify yourself if you owned a copy of a Mario Party game, played it, or haven't played it at all. Also, you havfe to tell what game are you going to work on, and what mini-game type, or etc. Here is an example:


<br>

===1.1 Article Structure===
Most mini-game articles I've as of today don't even have sections that separates info with simple profession. Way back then in wiki history, there was barely a tiny amount of mini-game articles, until I joined the wiki, and wrote a decent amount of info. That's a start, but it wasn't enough to even satisfy myself. After a bunch of changes as I edit, I made a suitable article structure, and recently an infobox template called "minigame-infobox" that stores all the info came from the actual game. How is how the article should be written as:

|In [[1981]], the ''Mario'' series had officially started with the release of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s creation &ndash;''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. Originally released in the arcades, ''Donkey Kong'' became a very popular game amongst gamers, eventually spawning many remakes and ports. In 1981, Mario had yet to be called so &ndash; rather, he was called "Jumpman" during that brief era; it was only a few years later that Mario Segali would rename the aforementioned character to "Mario". Since then, the name has become very popular among the video game community; he is considered to be one of Nintendo's mascots. Since the release of ''Donkey Kong'' in 1981, Mario has appeared in over 200 games, and has been referenced in several more.

1.0 Mario Party series mini-games

There's one thing Mario Party fans would craze for its quick, colorful, and well-written pun names for us to witness, it's mini-games! It's basically how the gameplay entirely changes from being 4th place into 1st place just by participating in these events. Types of mini-games range from the most common '4 player mini-games' to life-risking 'Bowser mini-games' for a plot to receive, or lose Coins in the end of each mini-game with varied results determined by mini-game rules, and play outcomes.

There are a batch of articles that are in need for a rewrite overhaul, and a take on doing research for beginners (and experienced) who wanted to write seemingly small articles that are worth good info. Writers will need to research the gameplay from the beginning to the end, the type of mini-game, how the mini-game received a written pun, or wordplay, differences from the US (since most of the users in the wiki actually live in the US) and other regions by anything/everything, and if possible, that trivia section.

This section is usually recommended for Mario Party fans who at least owned a copy of a single game from the series. For those who played the game a few times, a couple of times, or haven't played the game at all, your in luck. You can still help this project in favor of gaining experience in the wiki, and at least become an inspired Mario Party fan as part of the whole Mario series. Here's a short list of resources you should try researching and gathering information for both types of people:

YouTube - A fine place to watch gameplay videos from those mini-games. Search the videos at your own risk.
GameFAQs - Written logs of walkthroughs. You must write the info from the files with your own words. Do not copy, or add questionable info.

If you want to participate in this project, you should identify yourself if you owned a copy of a Mario Party game, played it, or haven't played it at all. Also, you havfe to tell what game are you going to work on, and what mini-game type, or etc. Here is an example:

RAP (talk)1 - Owned/Played Mario Party 1-3, any mini-games by type or video game.
I'm the creator of this project as part of my own group project, "Growth of the Summer", insisting that we can make more than a simple activity growth...2

1.1 Article Structure

Most mini-game articles I've as of today don't even have sections that separates info with simple profession. Way back then in wiki history, there was barely a tiny amount of mini-game articles, until I joined the wiki, and wrote a decent amount of info. That's a start, but it wasn't enough to even satisfy myself. After a bunch of changes as I edit, I made a suitable article structure, and recently an infobox template called "minigame-infobox" that stores all the info came from the actual game. How is how the article should be written as:

• ARTICLE TITLE

▬ IMAGE, write the filename, and do not include "Image:"
▬ APPEARED_IN, write the videogame that the mini-game appeared in. Be sure to use ''.
▬ TYPE, the type of mini-game either by players, or events:
► 1-player ► 1-vs-3 ► Item ► DK ► Mini ► 8-player
► 4-player ► 2-vs-2 ► Bowser ► Duel ► Battle ► Coin/Bonus
▬ INFO, have hold text on [instructions]1, and <br>, and write the instructions that came from the game with ''.
