Mario Party 7 released with six world based boards, character specific orbs, an eight player mode, and the return of the Nintendo GameCube microphone.
Each of Mario Party 7’s six boards are based on real world locations and just like its predecessor, each board has a unique objective that mixes up the classic star collecting formula. Playable characters, including the newly introduced Dry Bones and Birdo, are partnered up and each duo gets a cool exclusive orb that only they can obtain and use. The microphone returns and plays a bigger role overall, including getting its own space in the main Mario Party 7 mode. There’s also the neat eight player minigames where two players can share a single controller.
