Story

As the player arrives in Party World, Bowser suddenly appears and attacks, scattering all of the minigames and Gaddgets across Shroom City. The player must travel across Shroom City to collect the missing Gaddgets and minigames and defeat Bowser.

Gameplay

Mario Party Advance focuses primarily on the single-player Shroom City mode, in which players travel across a game board-structured map to complete quests for various characters. The game features four playable characters, each of which start at different points on the map. Players travel across the board by rolling dice, which they have a limited stock of in the form of mushrooms; running out of mushrooms will result in a game over. Every three rolls, the player must partake in a "Mushroom Challenge" and complete a randomly-selected to earn extra mushrooms. In addition to standard spaces, the board also features Dice Spaces, which allow the player to move again without using a mushroom; Minus Spaces, which cause the player to lose a mushroom; and Minigame Spaces, which allow the player a chance to earn an extra mushroom by completing a minigame.
