Mario Party 6

Mario Party 6 and its GameCube microphone attachment introduced six creative new boards, Toadette as a playable character, and the revised orb system.

While two boards retain the classic style of purchasing stars for the standard 20 coins, the other four boards introduce new objectives and rules, like the star stealing Chain Chomps of Snowflake Lake. Toadette is welcomed in as the eleventh character to join the playable character roster and a new Solo Mode tasks a single player to play minigames on mode exclusive maps. The microphone attached gets its own mode where microphone enabled minigames are played. Plus, 82 minigames!
