Editorial Review:
Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and all your favorite characters are back in Mario Party 3. This game features 70 minigames that make you use your N64 controller in ways you never thought imaginable. Like its predecessors, up to four people can participate in five areas in board-game-style play. As you traverse the board, you'll have your chances to compete in the aforementioned minigames. Then it's all about button mashing and analog-stick twisting. The gamepad techniques are easily explained, but some of them are tougher than they look.
The single-player story mode is an absolute chore filled with as much watching as playing. You're not supposed to play this game alone, hence the word "party" in the title. Multiplayer modes include party, battle royal, and duel. The first two are the basic free-for-alls found in previous games, while duel mode is an interesting addition that combines elements from Othello and Monopoly with the minigames. The various modes help shorten multiplayer game time, which was a problem in previous versions.
Mario Party 3 continues the series' tradition of being the top dog of party games. With its numerous easy-to-learn minigames, it's perfect for when you and your friend are looking for quick, mindless fun. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: - Loads of great minigames
- Simple enough for anyone to learn

Cons: - Single-player mode is arduous
- Tough to justify buying more than one Mario Party title
- The required amount of button mashing and analog-stick twisting is hard on hands

Rating: - Party 3: The Best There Is
This is the second best Mario Party game, besides Mario Party 6. This game includes the same 6, Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario. But there is an added 2, Daisy and Waluigi! This is Daisy's thrid game and Waluigi's second.
The boards are in 2-D but rock out loud. THe best one is Blooper Sea, this board has the best Mario Party music ever! The minigames are well thought out. There are a fair few action ones alot of puzzles and many CRAZY ones. Toad is back along with Baby ... Read More
Rating:  - mario trash
This Game Sucks! It takes 10 minutes just to get the game started and by then you will realise what trash this is. The mini games are stupid and pointless. The plot sucks even though I'm not sure what the plot is to begin with. I didn't play it long enough to find out. If you want a good Mario Party stick with number 1.
Rating: - The Best Mario Party Yet!!!
What a great game! Now there are two new characters: Waluigi (a mix between Wario and Luigi) and Daisy (another girl character). There are over 70 new minigames and no old ones. I like all of them. There is now a story mode and a party mode. The Story Mode is a single player mode where you go through all of the boards in order to earn "stamps". If you earn all the stamps, you're done with story mode. Party Mode is where you can party with multiple players on a Battle Royal Map (from the classic Mario ... Read More
