Mario Party (series): Difference between revisions

|''[[Mario Party 5]]'', released in 2003 for the GameCube, is set in the world of the [[Dream Depot]], where everybody's dreams come together. The [[Star Spirits]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', who serve as guardians to the dreams there, invite Mario and his friends to the depot where they try to prevent Bowser and his [[Koopa Kid]]s from conquering and ruining the place. Toad, Boo, and one of the Koopa Kids take on roles as playable characters for the first time here (although these characters had previously been playable in a beach volleyball-based minigame in the previous installment), and Donkey Kong is now restricted to being featured in the special "DK Space," which initiates an event granting the possibility of a star or coins whenever landed on. Also introduced are [[Capsule Machine]]s, which dispense containers called "capsules" that hold items for the player-characters to use to their advantage.
