It’s hard to believe, but the Mario Party series has been around for over two and a half decades. Amid fluctuating release schedules and even a shake-up with the primary development studio, a total of 18 Mario Party games have been released across several Nintendo console and handheld generations.
Each game hosts a ton of new and varied content, and we’re cataloging everything from board tips and item highlights to minigame breakdowns and unlockable lists. As we continue to revamp the entire website, keep an eye on our list of Mario Party games and each individual page as we bring them up to date.
