description Mario Party 2

Mario Party 2 (マリオパーティ 2, Mario Pāti Tsū) is the second in a series of board game style video games for Nintendo platforms, featuring popular Nintendo characters. It was released on the Nintendo 64 in Japan on December 17, 1999, following a North America release on January 24, 2000. It was released in Europe on October 12, 2000. This is the second Mario Party game for the Nintendo 64. Nintendo has confirmed that Mario Party 2 will be released for the Virtual Console in 2010 for all regions.

All of the playable characters from the original game are still available, but this time, they are all dressed in costumes unique to the board players are playing on (except for Bowser Land, on which they wear their usual attire). Board characters include Toad, Baby Bowser, and Boo, with the notable absence of Bowser and Koopa Troopa (although both have roles in the game). Another new feature of the game is the introduction of buildings on the boards: the Item Shop and the Koopa Bank, as well as power ups such as rapid enlargement.

Mario Party 2 also features several new spaces, with the Mini Game Space and Mushroom Space absent: the Battle Space, the Item Space, and the Bank Space. The Item Space activates mini-games specific to the board that allow one to collect an item, which is now used to further players’ board strategy (as opposed to items being used to toggle universal settings in Mario Party). The Battle Space triggered the newly introduced Battle mini-game, which pits players against each other for a giant pot of coins. The Bank Space gives players who land on it all deposits made in the Koopa Bank by others, who must deposit five coins if they pass the space. On Bowser’s board, this is reversed: players passing the bank get 5 coins, and the player landing on the bank must pay back the balance.

The game also features seven brand new boards (including Mini- Game Coaster) with the return of Mini-Game Stadium. Forty-three new mini-games were introduced in Mario Party 2, while old Mario Party mini-games were updated and some were retitled. Three new types of mini-game were also introduced: the Battle mini-game, the Item mini-game, and the Duel mini-game.
