This is in my opinion my favorite of all the Mario party games, it retained a lot of the classic charm that the original game had but also added some new aspects. Old mini games were improved, new mini games were overall a lot of fun and the boards were much better designed this time. Plus how could you not love all the little outfits the characters would wear on each one? I mean obviously Pirate land was the best one but that's beside the point. This one also removed the single player aspect of the first one but again I don't think that's really a bad thing.
