Mario Party DS is the eleventh installment in the Mario Party series, and the thirteenth in Japan. It is the second game released in a portable console; with the first game, Mario Party Advance.

Gameplay

Gameplay remains unchanged prior to the Mario Party series. During gameboard gameplay, the game has two types of items: Normal items that can be used on themselves, and a new type of item called Hexes, where players can set a trap by placing one on a nearby space in the board.

As players ascend into the game more, players can unlock collectibles such as character figurines, board features, boss trophies, and badges by gaining Mario Party Points, winning mini-games, and exploring a variety of ways to play the game. These items can be examined in Gallery Mode.

In Puzzle Mode, there are six mini-games that originated from previous Mario Party series; with five including Mario's Puzzle Party (Mario Party 3), Bob-omb Breakers (Mario Party 4), Piece Out (Mario Party 5), Block Star (Mario Party 6), and Stick and Spin (Mario Party 7), and a new puzzle mini-game called Triangle Twisters, which can be unlocked after beating the final boss of the game.
