I been playing lately and i'm really impressed with it. the minigames are really fun, they came with great ideas for this game's minigames.
the graphics are awesome!!!!!!. the sound is pretty cool too. they have mixed some of the old mario songs. believe, this is one of the best games for the GBA. Wait until dec. 6 and you see what i mean. Hope this helped you make your desicion!

3.0 out of 5 stars as kiddy as it gets, but there's quite a bit to it, May 9, 2005

This review is from: Mario Party Advance (Video Game)

I have played many of Nintendo's franchise games, and I have never seen a game so completely presented for kids as this game. I'm not a kid, but if I remember right, even a kid doesn't need a little twinkly star telling them 'This game's absolutely packed with fun.' For the first half hour the game just presents you with super-colorful image after sickening colorful image as you prepare your 'passport', a prerequisite to playing the game.

But after that, and after you get over the presentation so kiddy that it will make young kids sick, this is a nice game. Don't expect a party like earlier Mario Party games; this game is almost all for one player. Basically, its main mode has you driving around town running simple errands with limited gasoline, and to keep your car gassed up you have to win frequent mini-games. And most of the mini-games are pretty fun, especially if you learn them and try to set new records in the 'free play' mode.

You will meet many characters from past Mario games as you play. I know this is kiddy too but this I don't mind; I'm a Mario fan. I especially liked meeting the big round slime that was a boss in Yoshi's Island; the characters will bring back memories for a Mario fan as you explore town.

This game is enjoyable; not that enjoyable but enough to keep you coming back. That is if the childish presentation doesn't make you vomit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a party. Just a long quest., April 26, 2005

This game is not exactly a party game. All you do is drive on a mushroom car around shroom city. You do like 50 quests and earn gadgets. The only characters playable is Mario(of course),Luigi,Peach,and Yoshi. But it is still a cool game. It even includes a Party Board for Multiplayers with only four characters playable. It's just an addition if you want to party,with four people. And you use your gameboy in a cool,yet weird way.And yes i almost forgot to tell you that it does have mini-games,and micro-games. Just buy it and you might like it. Just dont expect you can unlock new characters. And you get to put your information,and secrets. So if you and a friend battle in mini-games and beated you,he might get a chance to view your passport and secret! And yes there is a multi game(4-players)and it is a penguin race,which you dont control it, you just guess which one you think would win the race.....Very surprising!Yet there are a lot of missions and some are hard so it might get you busy if you want to complete the game. Enjoy getting those missing mini-games!
