<BLOCKQUOTE>Pizza in one hand, a Nintendo controller in the other, and sugary drinks all around, Mario Party can be a real blast! This is the first time the popular series has hit a handheld, the Gameboy Advance. With up to four friends linked together, you each choose either Mario, Luigi, Peach or Yoshi. Along with 60 mini games, almost as many as Mario Party 5 for the Cube, there's plenty to keep the party rolling. Due to the cost of owning 4 copies of the game though, Nintendo wisely focused heavily on the single player experience much more than usual. You'll unlock the mini-games through missions across the game board, then if you do link-up, can also trade mini-games and items with friends.


The board has six areas to explore, such as town, jungle, seaside, snow, desert and horror. The coins you collect along the way can be used to purchase gadgets, one particular of which, called the Lip Disguise-o-matic, lets you play tricks on your friends, test your compatibility and more. This US edition of Mario Party Advance is now shipping, but don't forget the Mario merchandise that arrived recently here either.
