Mario Party DS released on the Nintendo DS as a true portable experience featuring five boards, touch based minigames, and a handheld story mode.
As the first faithful Mario Party experience on a handheld, Mario Party DS introduced five small and speedy boards that made playing on the go a bit easier. Minigames made use of the second and touch based screen of the Nintendo DS, along with the microphone capability. Boss minigames were also introduced. The single player focused mode offers a surprisingly detailed story where you’re tasked with recovering five Sky Crystals. Party Points earned by playing unlocked cool models and badges.
