Story

In the meadows, Mario and his friends talk to Toad to see who would make the grea SuperStar. They argue, but Toad has an idea. They should head to the Warp Pipe to participate in the boards and whoever has the most Stars in the board would be the SuperStar. However, there is no telling who lies in wait for you…
Mario Party does not normally have a story, but the goal is to play the boards and collect 100 Stars into the Mushroom Bank for a surprise. Of course, none other than Bowser, the King of Koopas, steals them and you have to retrieve them!
