Mario Party 7 is the seventh installment in the Mario Party series, and the fourth and final Mario Party title made for the GameCube. Like the previous Mario Party installments, the game is laid out as an interactive board game, where players use Dice Blocks to advance in the board, while also playing various minigames. In this game, Mario and the gang, using the MSS Sea Star, go vacationing to locations based on landmarks on Earth. However, Bowser is not invited on the cruise and decides to cause trouble for Mario and his friends.
Up to four players can enjoy the most of the game's modes; however, a special mode that this game introduces to the Mario Party series allows up to eight players to participate in a party. Players are required to share their controllers, and thus, controls are simplified in such modes. The microphone, first introduced in this game's predecessor, Mario Party 6, can also be used in certain modes. Mario Party 7 requires 6 blocks on the Memory Card to save the game, and up to three game files can be saved.
Plot[]
One day, everyone's favorite hero, Mario was taking his morning constitutional. Later in the day, Toadsworth appears. He's offering Mario and the gang a vacation aboard a luxury ocean liner. Saving the world is long, hard work, so they are delighted to accept the offer.
Mario rushes off to tell his friends the great news and pack his bags. They cannot wait to set sail cause they're kings of the world.
Toadsworth also has two great surprises: Birdo and Dry Bones.
That makes Bowser mad; They are going on vacation and not taking him! Filled with unquenchable rage, the Koopa King swears revenge.
When playing Solo Cruise, once the player has beaten the first five boards' conditions, Bowser will invite you to go to the last board, Bowser's Enchanted Inferno.
When you complete Bowser's Enchanted Inferno, Bowser gets blown off to a deserted island. As he spots your character on the SS Sea Star, he curses you.
Gameplay[]
Like most Mario Party games, Mario Party 7 revolves around Mario and his friends collecting Coins and Stars to win on boards. Mario Party 7 also uses a GameCube Mic, and on some spaces and in some mini-games, you're able to use the GameCube Mic to control the characters.

Trivia[]
- Like its sequel and Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 7 contains text that is considered inappropriate in the United Kingdom. When the Star moves in Grand Canal, Toadsworth calls it a "bugger". Despite this, the game was not recalled, and it did not receive a PEGI 12+ rating, as with other games that contain this word.
- This is Koopa Kid's last appearance in a Mario Party game.
- Beginning with the next installment (Mario Party DS), Koopa Kid is succeeded by Bowser Jr.. However, Bowser Jr. became a playable character in later installments (including Mario Party: Island Tour and Super Mario Party).
- This is the last Mario Party game where the Star and Coin totals were counted before the final results.
- This is also the last Mario Party game to feature Donkey Kong's sound effects from the first six Mario Party games.
- This is the first Nintendo game to make use of eight playable characters at once. The others are Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- However, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U allows up to eight controllers to be used, while Mario Party 7 can only use up to four controllers.
- This game has the most unique minigames of all the Mario Party games (not counting Mario Party: The Top 100 or Mario Party Superstars, which are compilations of 100 and 105 returning minigames respectively).
