What Parents Need to Know
This review of Mario Party DS was written by Chad Sapieha
Parents need to know that this is a party game in which cartoonish Nintendo characters engage in a diverse selection of competitive and cooperative minigames. While there is a little cartoon violence that is silly and amuzing, all of the games are completely free of bad language, sexuality, or negative behavioral messages. Up to four players with their own DS units can play together using a single game card, giving it terrific handheld gaming value in families with several children or as a game to play with friends.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the game's plethora of minigames and game modes, discussing which might be each player's favorite. Do you prefer playing by yourself in the story mode, or with friends in party competition? Do you find collecting virtual items like character figures and boss trophies to be a satisfying reward for playing? If you've played other versions of the game (for Nintendo64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, or the Wii), how do you think it compares?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Plus, the touch screen allows for some interesting new minigame activities. Favorites include drawing circles with the stylus to twist a music box crank in an attempt to play the classic Super Mario Bros. theme at the proper tempo; blowing into the mic to control the speed at which a bomb fuse burns; tracing the mugs of famous Nintendo characters; and swiping the stylus back and forth across the screen as quickly as possible to shear slices off a cucumber. Simply put, Mario Party hasn't felt so satisfying or fresh since the original debuted on the Nintendo64 nearly a decade ago.

WOW
In a good way. I've played this with my cousin Rose and had a blast when we were playing certain minigames and had a cow when we were playing Trace Cadets. It's fun! If you have a DS go play it!
