Mario Party DS

Each player can choose between well known characters from the Mario universe such as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Princess Daisy, Toad, Wario and Waluigi.

Players play mini-games to earn stars.

At the end of the game the player with most stars wins the game.

It is possible to play the game with four players in multiplayer.

With download-play only one cartridge is required.

Each round the players roll dice to advance on the board.

Somewhere on the board a star is located, which can be collected by the first player to reach that spot.

After each round the players play a mini-game, this can be free for all, 1 vs. 3 or 2 vs. 2.

The game includes 74 different mini-games and some of them use the stylus or microphone.

At the end of each game more stars are rewarded for the player who for example won most mini-games.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Mario Party DS, loose is €38.10 and CIB is €16.25 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Mario Party DS is currently worth €38.10 loose, versus €13.15 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
