About this product

Product Information

The Mario Brothers have been one of the staple franchises for Nintendo when it comes to popular games. This chapter of the saga, Mario Party 9, builds off the Super Mario Bros characters in a fun way that allows multiple people to duke it out in a wide variety of different mini games. Each person will get to choose from different characters like Mario, Wario, Toad, and many others. The installment allows up to four players to join in on the excitement and to team up in pairs for some friendly competition. Although this game had a release date in 2012 for the Nintendo Wii, it's compatible with the Wii U and the Wii U gamepad.Mario Party 9 for the Nintendo Wii console is actually the 12th installment of the Mario Party video game series, the 9th for Nintendo consoles, and the second for the Wii. Mario Party 9 is playable in single-player mode, or it can be played in multiplayer mode for two to four players. Among the new features for Mario Party 9 is the ability for gamers to go across the stages together to battle stage bosses, overcome obstacles, and collect the Mini Stars that Bowser stole. However, you each must remain competitive in boosting your own individual scores. With 80 different mini-game options, Mario Party 9 ensures long hours of gameplay to truly get the party started.One feature that separates this new installment of the game from others is that for the first time in this franchise, each of the levels ends with a boss battle. This is the chance for each of the players to fight the classic bosses like Bowser and King Boo. Although there is a team component to these battles, the competition to get the highest score is still in the game for fans of the earlier versions. Players will also be battling for points on a variety of different levels like Toad Road and many other familiar territories from the Mario franchise. When you purchase this game, you'll be able to enjoy hours upon hours of fun with the different mini games with titles like Buddy Bounce, Skyjinks, Chain Event, and Polar Extreme. Games are divided into three different categories: There are 44 free-for-all games, which allow you to complete tasks either alone or with teammates. Ten different "1-vs-Rivals" games allow you to play against others in head-to-head competition. There are also 10 "Bowser Jr." games, which are built for younger gamers who are learning hand-eye coordination, reading, and counting skills. These can accommodate up to two players at a time, but they can be played solo too. The great part about Mario Party 9 for Wii is that it's perfect for all ages. This family-oriented game allows the generation who grew up with the franchise to connect with a new generation of gamers for some classic fun. The mini games may have you working as a team to get across a level filled with obstacles, or you may need to put your painting skills to the test.

    A new twist to mario party!

    If you're a true mario party fan then you won't mind the small differences between this one and the others! You'd think that riding around in one vehicle with the other players is boring but with all of the new boards and mini games added to this game, makes it worth it. Give it a try!

    Good for cooperative gameplay but bad for competitive gameplay

    I bought this game quite a while ago and since then have only played it a handful of times. I have only tried Party mode for the game so I have not done an in-depth playthrough of the game but in my opinion it's the weakest game in the Mario Party Franchise that I've played. The gameplay isn't necessarily bad and it does offer a unique take on the way Mario Party is played. However Party mode has you work as a team and loses the competitive aspect of the game which has made the series so much fun for me and my friends. Overall not a bad game, worth a try if you're a die-hard Mario fan or want to play a cooperative game with younger kids. Not great for competitive gamers or if you're looking to play a game with your friends that is competitive, Mario Party 8 is a much better game for the latter.

  • Kids love the short mini games, very fun and easy to play for all ages

    My young kids absolutely love this game. The short mini-games are easy for them to understand and play, intuitive controls (although pointing the wii remote at the screen can be a challenge for them some times, but they eventually get it) Fun for the family!

  • Great game

    It took me awhile to get the hang of being in one vehicle but itโ€™s a lot of fun. The mini games are super fun and I love the game. Highly recommended for more than one player. A lot of fun.

  • Worst game made

    Extremely disappointed. Huge fan of the first 8 and they go and ruin 9. You built these amazing boards so we could all take turns driving around a car? Wow all I wanted was roll a dice and take turns. It was fun to catch up to your opponent and use an attack. You ruined a good thing!

  • MARIO Party 9

    Still like MP 8 better, but this one has excellent graphics and lots of great mini-games. I prefer the set number of turns style, but the gameplay in this one isn't bad, just not the best.
