Mario Party 8

Classic Mario Party gameplay

Released in 2007, Mario Party 8 was the first Mario Party game to be released on the Wii, and it took full advantage of the Wii’s unique motion controls. Players could once again gather around the board with Mario and friends, competing in mini-games and trying to collect the most stars. The motion controls brought a new level of interactivity to the series, making each mini-game feel fresh and engaging.

Fun motion controls and mini-games

The game introduced a variety of motion-based mini-games, where players could shake, swing, and point the Wii Remote in different ways to complete challenges. Whether it was fishing, bowling, or racing, the mini-games were designed to get players moving and laughing, making Mario Party 8 a great choice for party settings. The classic board game format combined with these motion-controlled mini-games created a fun and dynamic experience.

Multiplayer excitement

As always, Mario Party 8 was all about multiplayer fun, and the game shone in this regard. With up to four players, friends and family could join together for hours of competitive fun. The game’s blend of luck, strategy, and skill made it an exciting and unpredictable experience every time you played. Whether playing casually or competing for victory, Mario Party 8 offered endless enjoyment for fans of the series.

The 8th entry in the popular Mario Party series was given an aggregate score of 62 by Metacritic.

Play with motion control! Row your way down a river, punch a statue to pieces, steer race cars and mopeds, and handle a balancing pole while walking a tightrope. Play with the pointer. Drag and drop decorations onto cakes, shoot Boos in haunted house, quickly choose your answer in a game show. Mash those Wii Remote buttons. Jump and pummel your way through a football brawl, hop and run across an obstacle course of spinning platforms. Mario Party 8 includes six brand-new boards, dozens of minigames and many new modes. In a franchise first, you can collect special power-ups and transform your character into a boulder that smashes rivals or a coin-sucking vampire. Mario Party 8 includes “extra-large” minigames like Star Carnival Bowling and Table Menace.
