Mario Party 3/Gameplay

If you're already familiar with Mario Party and Mario Party 2, you should know how it works. Here's a new set of features.


 * You can hold up to three items, instead of one unlike the second game.


 * Instead of mini-game island and coaster from the first two, there's a new story mode.


 * A total of 70 minigames available in this game.


 * 6 different boards in three different difficulties to get through. Be prepared for 20 to 35 to 50 turns of craziness.


 * A new duel board game mode available

Playing the Board Game
Each game starts out with character selection. Then each character spins a die to see who will go first. The highest number wins. Each player, starting with the one who won the dice roll and moving clockwise, rolls a die on their turn and then moves across as many board spaces as the number on the die. Before rolling, however, a player may use an item, pause the game, or view the entire board for strategic reasons (e.g. to locate the nearest Star Space).

Characters
All characters play the same and have the same size hitboxes. There are no advantages to one or the other.
 * Mario
 * Luigi
 * Princess Peach
 * Yoshi
 * Wario
 * Donkey Kong
 * Princess Daisy
 * Waluigi

Board Spaces

 * Blue Space - Gives the player three coins.
 * Red Space - Subtracts three of the players coins.
 * Item Space - Triggers an item-minigames. It may instead summon Toad or Koopa Kid.
