And like so many other installments in Mario Party, there’s one completely uncontrollable factor always in the forefront: luck. There is an extremely irritating stage, Kamek’s Library, that requires the player to blindly teleport around in the board in desperate hopes of landing a star, but otherwise I find the variety well planned and entertaining.Ī big part of collecting stars is having enough coins to do so, and winning minigames is a big part of collecting coins.
The miniature theme is kept intact throughout, and ties the game together better than many other examples from the series. There are only 5 different game boards, but this isn’t so bad for a portable. Sometimes the stars are changing price other times a player may buy as many as they wish when they reach the correct spot. Like Mario Party 8(the direct predecessor to DS), this game keeps things interesting by using a different approach to star-gathering on each game board. The teleportation madness is beyond frustrating. All of this is Mario Party 101, and most anyone who’s played will know exactly what’s in store. Facilitating and hindering this process are coins, specialized board spaces, and items that can be bought or found by the players. The gang takes turns moving around a game board with the intention of collecting stars. In most respects Mario Party DS follows other recent games in the series. It’s not all that important, but the miniaturized theme sets the stage for the visuals.
The flimsy storyline has the crew shrunk down to miniature size and in search of pieces of a Sky Crystal in order to stop Bowser from doing…something or another. Released just after Mario Party 8and just before 9, DS marks Hudson Soft’s final involvement with the series. Sitting on solid middle ground, we’ve got a marginally unique entry in the Mario Party canon that does its best to suit the capabilities of the Nintendo DS. Mario Party DS isn’t one of the strongest in the series, but it isn’t one of the weakest either.

This review might be a little lighter on comparisons than my previous articles on the series since I don’t have so many other games rattling around in my head. But the other day, I set aside a couple of hours to refamiliarize myself with this installment. I'm moderately confident that the console is setup correctly, but it's possible I missed something along the way.For whatever reason, I never got around to reviewing Mario Party DS back when I was on my major Mario Party binge.
The feedback I get elsewhere is that this SHOULD work, but it's pretty clear to me that something is wrong. I'd be happy to post logs, or otherwise provide anything I can to support this. I'm confident that the roms are good, they work fine on the DSi. Neither seems to make a difference, the outcome is the same. I've tried installing from Universal Updater and from GitHub as well. Zelda Legend of the 4 Swords Anniversary Edition never brings up the multiplayer menu, effectively freezing like MKDS does. Mario Kart DS hangs as soon as I start up the multiplayer with audio stalled and making noise. I never see the little spinning red fireball that I see on my DSi. In the case of New SMB, I'm able to go to the multiplayer and it eventually cancels out saying that the connection was interrupted. I've tried using forwarders, and I've tried the setting the mentioned above. Wifi is on on my 3DS, and I'm sure it's on in TWLMenu++. I've asked about this on reddit and the standard advice is to make sure that WiFi is turned on. Can we re-open this? I'm seeing the same problem.
