Mario Party 9 Wii

The party is back and bigger than ever in the Mario Party 9 game for Wii, featuring all-new ways to play! For the first time in the franchise, boss battles crash the party and challenge players to compete to defeat a common enemy. In addition, players now travel across stages together in a vehicle towards a common goal - overcoming obstacles, battling bosses, and collecting Mini Stars stolen by Bowser™ and his minions. Featuring 80 new minigames, adventurous new stages, and all-new ways to play that blend cooperative and competitive action for up to four players*, Mario Party 9 is the perfect way to get the party started.

• For the first time in the Mario Party franchise, each stage culminates in a Boss Battle.
• Collectively, players must combine their strength to defeat classic foes such as Bowser™ and King Boo while still playing competitively to boost their own individual scores.
• In another first for the series, players ride across stages together in special vehicles.
• Players take turns as Captain of the vehicle by hitting Dice Blocks to move the party forward, hoping to land on lucky spaces.
• The vehicles also help to streamline game play and keep everyone involved in the action.
• Unique Captain Events on each stage give players a new way to change the shape of the game.
• In Mario Party 9, each themed stage has a clear destination point but with multiple paths along the way, so no two games will play the same.
• From Toad Road to Boo's Horror Castle, players will encounter a wide variety of familiar Mario franchise elements in new environments that can be enjoyed solo or with friends.
• Includes 80 outrageous new minigames that find players making pizzas, escaping haunted mansions, and racing snowmobiles.

• No time to play through an entire stage? New minigame modes let players enjoy the action in smaller chunks of time.
• They can hone their skills at any minigame in Free Play mode or try the Extras mode that includes Goomba Bowling and the puzzle-based Castle Clearout.
• Every time they play, players can earn Party Points that are used to unlock special items and features.
