Party games are multiplayer games usually involving short [[minigame]]s. This genre is dominated by the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], but the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] and ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' are also part of it. While most party games involve multiple players, some party games are single player, like certain ''WarioWare'' games. Luck is a large factor in party games, but players must also have a certain degree of skill. Party games are rarely played competitively and are usually played casually, although many also have story modes that can be completed. | Party games are multiplayer games usually involving short [[minigame]]s.

Racing games involve speedy competitions with other characters. The main objective in racing games is to reach the finish line before the other racers and attain first place. Nearly all ''Mario'' racing games are part of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], except for ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. All racing games in the ''Mario'' series involve [[item]]s or power-ups which can do various things like slow down the other racers or speed up the player. Racing games also build on this by providing battle modes in which items are used as weapons. Online racing was introduced with the release of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and is integrated in every ''Mario'' racing game since. | |||
