'''''Mario Party 5''''' is the fifth installment in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Like its namesake, it is a party game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] that up to four players can participate in, succeeding the Nintendo GameCube's first ''Mario Party'' installment, ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. It was first released in November 10, 2003 in North American territories, approximately one year after ''Mario Party 4'' was released. As in other ''Mario Party'' installments, players interact with one another in virtual boards, playing as various ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters. Players then can participate in various mini-games at the end of every turn in the board, each with their own set of rules and settings. The most notable change in this game is that the item system that was first introduced in ''Mario Party 2'' was replaced with the new [[Orb|capsule]] system, where players can not only use them for their own advantage but set up traps for other players to fall into; ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' would later return the capsule system (now called Orbs) and add new mechanics to the capsules. ''Mario Party 5'' also introduces new modes such as [[Super Duel Mode]], where players can battle each other on battle machines and Bonus Mode, where players can play special mini-games, similar to ''Mario Party 4'''s Extra Mode. The game is also significant for being the second in the series to introduce 3D game boards. Previous titles, all except for ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', use pre-rendered backgrounds, which are static and limited in their presentation. As a result, all subsequent ''Mario Party'' titles, with the exception of ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' on the [[Game Boy Advance]], have employed 3D backgrounds allowing for much more dynamic fields of play.

''Mario Party 5'' features the [[Star Spirits]] (known as '''Star Guards''' in this game) from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main hosts of the game, where one of them guides the player through each of the game's various modes. The game features a dream-theme, where the game takes place in the [[Dream Depot]] and each of the boards' names have "Dream" suffixes. In the game's Story Mode, geared towards single players, a playable character has to face [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopa Kid|Koopa Kids]] (known as Mini Bowser in the PAL version), who invade the Dream Depot, and need to challenge them in every stage.

The gameplay in ''Mario Party 5'' is the same as in other installments. Players move around the board by rolling a [[Dice Block]] numbered one through ten. The game begins by deciding the order of play with Dice Blocks. Players who roll the highest numbers get to start their turn sooner. Then players are given ten coins to start. The object of the game is to collect as many [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] as possible. Each Star is worth 20 coins. Stars appear in random, set locations, which get shuffled every time a player acquires a Star. Players can earn coins to purchase these Stars by either landing on spaces or winning mini-games. The spaces players land on can either be beneficial or harmful: for example, [[Plus Space]]s award players three coins, [[Minus Space]]s deduct three coins, and [[? Space]]s cause an event to happen, which is dependent on the board being played. Players also have the option to receive items called capsules at [[capsule machine]]s, which replace the Item Shops of the previous entries of the ''Mario Party'' series. Players can toss capsules onto spaces or use capsules on themselves for a price. Plus or Minus Spaces that have an icon on them mean that they are under influence of a capsule and their effects is dependent on the capsule effect it has.

After everyone moves, a mini-game starts; the type of mini-game is determined by the color of the panel, which is dependent on the space the player has landed on. If everyone has the same color, then a 4-Player mini-game begin. If players have equal amount of colored panels, a 2-vs.-2 mini-game is played. If all players except one have landed on the same space, a 1-vs.-3 mini-game commences. Sometimes, a battle mini-game take place and everyone pays coins to put at stake to compete, with winning players receiving more coins than lower-placed players. After a mini-game, players earn 10 coins if they win, with Bonus mini-games having the potential of players receiving even more coins. Other mini-games such as Duel, Bowser, and DK mini-games require a specific space-landing or item usage for the mini-games to be played; these do not happen at the end of a turn as normal mini-games. After normal mini-games are played, the game saves and the next turn begins, repeating the process until the end of the game.

[[File:PartyMode - MarioParty5.png|thumb|Eldstar introducing players to Party Mode.]]

*'''Mini-Game Pack:''' Players can adjust which type of mini-games that can be played, from All, Easy, Action, Skill, or Goofy mini-games.

[[File:StoryMode - MarioParty5.png|thumb|left|Misstar in Story Mode.]]

Story Mode is a single player mode hosted by [[Misstar]]. In this mode, the player participates on seven, smaller, modified boards facing the three colored [[Koopa Kid]]s. The difficulty is dependent on what the player has set before playing on the boards, and players can adjust which mini-game set will be used before play. The main objective is to eliminate all three of the Koopa Kids before they eliminate the player; in order to eliminate a Koopa Kid, the player must make them lose all of their coins, either by dueling them or using capsules to make them lose coins. If players loses all of their [[Coin]]s, they lose the game. In this game mode, mini-games are not played at the end of every turn. Unlike Party Mode, players can duel Koopa Kids by simply passing them rather than either landing on a Duel Space, using a Duel Orb, or landing on the same space as them. There are no coins put at stake; rather, a set number of coins are lost depending on which character wins and which character passes who. If players pass or land with a Koopa Kid, players losing have 5 coins deducted while winning against a Koopa Kid costs him 15 coins. When the Koopa Kid passes or lands on the players, they duel the players; losing costs the Koopa Kids 5 coins while winning cost players 10 coins. All the Koopa Kids move at the same time, quickening game play.

A new space introduced is the [[VS Space]], exclusive to Story Mode. Landing on it triggers mini-games dependent on the number of Koopa Kids on the playing field; if there are three Koopa Kids, a 1-vs.-3 game is played. Two causes a 2-vs.-2 mini-game to be played, where the player is partnered with a CPU [[Toad]]. Only one Koopa Kid on the board causes a Duel mini-game to be played. An error is present in the instruction booklet of the game: the instruction booklet lists a 2-vs.-1 mini-game that can be played upon landing on this space when no 2-vs.-1 mini-games can be played in ''Mario Party 5''. In addition to the exclusive VS Space, DK Spaces and Bowser Spaces have their rules changed. If a Koopa Kid lands on a DK Space, half of his coins are taken away. Players who land on a DK Space have 10 coins rewarded. The flipside occurs for Bowser Spaces: Bowser takes half a player's coins away upon landing on the space while a Koopa Kid receives 5 coins.

After the player beats four of the six default boards, the player then battles the Koopa Kids in the unlockable board, [[Bowser Nightmare]]. After the players beat the Koopa Kids in that board, the player faces [[Bowser]] in [[Frightmare]]. Upon winning the mini-game, players beat Story Mode, unlock Frightmare to play in Mini-Game Mode, and unlock the Bowser Nightmare board to play on in Party Mode.

*'''Mini-Game Circuit:''' Players drive around a race-track in cars, where the goal of the game is to be the first player to reach the finish line. Players play mini-games, and whoever wins the mini-game uses the Dice Block to move forward. Capsules can be awarded to players who win the mini-game, and those who lose the mini-game do not receive the capsule's effects. Three areas are present in the game: the Normal Area, the Battle Area and the Bowser Area. The Normal Area has no effect when landed on, the Battle Area commences a Duel mini-game where losers are moved back depending on the roll of the Dice Block, and the Bowser Area causes players to play a Bowser mini-game, where the losing players are moved back a number of spaces decided by Bowser. Players need to play a 4-Player, 1-vs.-3, 2-vs.-2, Bowser, and a duel mini-game to play this game. If at the end of the game that there is a tie, the winner is decided by a Dice Block roll.

*'''Mini-Game Decathlon:''' Players earn points in ten set mini-games dependent on their performance on those mini-games. Decathlon records can then be seen in the Options Mode of this game. The following mini-games need to be unlocked to play Mini-Game Decathlon: [[Ground Pound Down]], [[Chomp Romp]], [[Flower Shower (minigame)|Flower Shower]], [[Leaf Leap]], [[Night Light Fright]], [[Dinger Derby]], [[Hydrostars]], [[Will Flower]], [[Later Skater]], and [[Triple Jump (minigame)|Triple Jump]].

*'''Mini-Game Wars:''' Players need to capture 19 hexagonal tiles on a board by winning 4-player mini-games and battle mini-games. Players can claim a tile when it is flashing and can capture other opponent's tiles by surrounding the tile. Whoever has the most tiles wins the game. At least one 4-player mini-game needs to be unlocked to play this game.

[[File:SuperDuelMode - MarioParty5.png|thumb|left|Skolar at his desk in Super Duel Mode.]]

[[File:BonusMode - MarioParty5.png|thumb|Mamar introducing players to Bonus Mode.]]

In Bonus Mode, hosted by [[Mamar]], players could play one of three bonus games that are not available in any other mode: [[Beach Volley Folley|Beach Volleyball]], [[Ice Hockey (minigame)|Ice Hockey]], and [[Card Party]]. All of the three bonus games come with their own set of rules: Card Party is a four player battle royale where players need to find Star Cards to win the game while Beach Volleyball and Ice Hockey are 2-vs.-2 bonus games that play as their sports' namesakes.

[[File:OptionsMode - MarioParty5.png|thumb|left|The Options Mode.]]

''Mario Party 5'' returns the playable characters from ''Mario Party 4'', aside from [[Donkey Kong]], who is now the host of [[DK Space|his own space]], while also introducing new playable characters, featuring ten playable characters in total. However, the new playable characters (Toad, Boo, and Koopa Kid) are not playable in Story Mode (similar to [[Princess Daisy]] and [[Waluigi]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''), as Koopa Kid is the player's opponent and Toad is the player's partner if there are two Koopa Kids remaining. Despite Donkey Kong's role as an NPC, he is an unlockable character in the game's Super Duel Mode. He can be unlocked by defeating him in a tournament on Hard difficulty.

''Mario Party 5'' does away with the traditional item system of the previous games, and instead introduces items called [[Orb|capsules]], which can be obtained for free by passing capsule machines. Capsules can be thrown on the board up to ten spaces in front of them, and the player that lands on the capsule space receives its effects. Alternatively, players can pay a fee to use the capsule on themselves; the fee varies by capsule. Below is a list of all twenty-eight capsules found in ''Mario Party 5'' and a description describing their effects.

''Mario Party 5'' is developed by [[Hudson Soft]], the primary developer of the ''Mario Party'' series until ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. [[CAProduction]], who also has a history of developing for ''Mario Party'' games, is involved co-developing this alongside Hudson. The game is directed by Kenji Kikuchi, who also directed the previous four ''Mario Party'' titles. Shuichiro Nishiya, who is a planning advisory for this game, would go on to be the director of much of the later ''Mario Party'' installments, starting with ''Mario Party 6''.

The music in ''Mario Party 5'' was composed by Aya Tanaka. It is different from the other games in that the music sounds sophisticated and (despite being synthesized as in most ''Mario Party'' games) has the illusion of being played by a professional symphony orchestra. This may be caused by the use of sounds that sound like true instruments, especially the harpsichord. This apparently didn't catch on, however, as Aya Tanaka has not composed any other ''Mario Party'' game. However, this game's sequels, ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', have progressed to an orchestrated musical score.

''Mario Party 5'' received mostly mixed to positive reviews from critics. Game Informer's Andrew Reiner cited the example of coin redistribution in the game, which meant that "you could win every mini-game and collect the most coins and still end up in last place", when giving a second option of the game. GameSpot's Ryan Davis processed to note "If you bought Mario Party 4 last year, Mario Party 5 is hard to recommend.", noting a lack of change to the series formula. The game's graphics received a mediocre response, with GameSpot commenting that the presentation is "starting to seem a bit antiquated" when noting that the character models did not seem to have been updated from Mario Party 4. Generally, critics cited having a fun experience in Mario Party 5, although the minigames received a more enthusiastic reaction than the actual board game, with GameSpy commenting that "the sheer volume can keep you compelled. If only you didn't have to deal with all that BS in-between" when referring to gameplay of the actual board game.

|[[Nintendo Gamecube]]

|''Mario Party is an interesting game in that it is able to appeal to two very distinct audiences. It really is the perfect drinking game for college dorms (heck, it even has some advanced stat tracking options that show you in graph-form when player #3 started to suck) and at the same time a great game for kids to enjoy with their siblings. Judging from other efforts in this genre, until Hudson fixes the wait time problem, Mario Party 5 is likely as good as mini-game party games get.''

|''The beauty of the Mario Party games has always been their accessibility, and the latest installment maintains that. Though the new single-player story mode and bonus games add a little more longevity to the game, the fundamental experience is still largely the same as that offered in previous Mario Party games. If you bought Mario Party 4 last year, Mario Party 5 is hard to recommend. But if you've stayed away from the Mario Party franchise thus far, and you're looking for a casual multiplayer experience, Mario Party 5 may very well be the ticket.''

|''I've been partying with Mario since the annual series began five years ago. Hell, I still host occasional gatherings at my bachelor pad for friends that also feel the mini-game urge. So I write this statement with love: Mario, get with it -- get hipper, get slicker, and get as good as you outta be. Right now, you're phoning it in.''

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': [[Pop-Star Piranhas]] features three differently-styled covers of the main theme. A rendition of the underwater theme is used in [[Submarathon]].

*''[[Mario Party 3]]'': Some of the playable characters' voice clips were reused in this game.

*''[[Mario Party 4]]'': The [[Chomp Call]] is featured in the minigame [[Chomp Romp]]. [[Beach Volley Folley]] returns in this game, though it is simply named "Beach Volleyball" and now includes the option to use special gimmick balls. Also, several voice clips are recycled.

*''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'': The [[Toy Dream]] song is rearranged in the song, Cabin Fever.

*''[[Mario Party 8]]'': The design of Princess Peach's Castle from this game is reused in [[Crank to Rank]].

*''[[Mario Party DS]]'': The song "Think It Out" from this game has an intro that sounds similar to that of "Serious Competition". The character celebration and lose portraits are reused, along with the Mario Party 8 portraits.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': [[Eldstar]], [[Misstar]] and [[Muskular]] appear as stickers.

* ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'': Seventeen minigames return in this game, and come complete with a cover version of their original minigame completion theme. The [[Star Spirits]] make a cameo in the Characters section of the Series Guide.

*This is the last ''Mario Party'' game in non-Japanese versions (except the Dutch, European Portuguese and Russian versions of ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'') to feature a female announcer until ''[[Super Mario Party]]''.

*Nintendo of America promoted ''Mario Party 5'' with an ad campaign spoofing the actual presidential campaigns of the United States, where Mario and his friends "campaigned" against Bowser and his minions. Inconsistent with his appearance in the game itself and its artworks, Bowser appeared to use his N64-era design in material related to this campaign. Similarly, the campaign also used one of Mario's artworks from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in addition to his actual GameCube-era artworks.
