'''''Mario Party 5''''' is the fifth main 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 11, 2003 in North American territories, approximately one year after ''Mario Party 4'' was released. As in the 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 also 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'' requires 5 blocks on the Memory Card to save the game, and up to three game files can be saved.

''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.

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 is 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 a player 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 costs players 10 coins. All the Koopa Kids move at the same time, quickening game play. Once all the Koopa Kids have lost all their coins, the player wins the board. If 15 turns pass but there are still Koopa Kids left, the match is declared a draw and the player must start over.

*'''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]].

''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.

|Only one Bowser space appears on each board, and it's randomly placed on a red space at the start of the board. If players land on this space, [[Bowser]] appears. He can cause the following events: Bowser Revolution, in which he divides everyone's coins equally, Bowser Minigame where he forces everyone to play his minigames, Bowser Shuffle, in which he randomly swaps places with all of the players, or Bowser Bonus, in which he steals a Star from the player. Rarely, [[Donkey Kong]] might appear and punch Bowser, which causes him to steal 10 or 20 coins from the player who landed on his space.  

![[File:SpaceDonkeyMP5.png|50px]]

|Only one DK space appears on each board, and it's randomly placed on a blue space at the start of the board. Landing on it makes Donkey Kong do one of three events: DK Bonus, where DK gives the player coins equal to a [[Dice Block]] roll, DK Minigame were all players participate in a minigame where they collect bananas. At the end, Donkey Kong gives everyone coins equal to the number of bananas that they got by once, twice, or even thrice. In DK Roulette, both the player and DK roll a Dice Block, with DK going first. If the player rolls a higher number than DK or if he rolls a 1, the player receives a free [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]. If Donkey Kong rolls a higher number or a 10, the player loses and gets nothing.

|When a player passes by this space, they are asked by [[Eldstar]] if they want to trade 20 coins for a star, or not.

''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.

*''[[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]]'': A whistle resembling 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.

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

*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.
