Mario Party 5 is a video game for the Nintendo GameCube that was released in late 2003. As the name implies, this is the fifth Mario Party video game in the popular series, and the second to be released on the GameCube (the first being Mario Party 4). The game includes three new characters, which are Toad, Boo, and Koopa Kid, as well as most of the characters from previous installations, other than Donkey (whom does appear in Super Duel Mode) and seven boards are in the game.
