Mario Party 2 is the second game in the popular Mario Party series. It's not too different from the original, though does have some new features. Some of the new features include different costumes for each character on each stage, buildings where you are allowed to buy items or pay coins, new spaces, and others.

The slogan for the game was "Get the place jumping!"

[edit] Characters

All of the characters from the previous game, who include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong and Wario are back as playable characters once again. No new characters were added, though it should be noted that each character will wear a different costume depending on which board their playing on (for example, on the pirate themed stage, all the characters will dress up as pirates).

[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay of all Mario Party games have generallly stayed the same in every game other than the handheld titles, which have had probably the most dramatic update for the series.

Your objective is to go across your selected (or randomly chosen) board by rolling a dice and moving that many spaces. Once all 4 players have taken a turn, a mini-game will start, which is where you are able to collect tons of coins and extras.

The game also is the first in the series to use items, which in all there are 10.
