Every year you can always rely on the following things occuring: A new Woody Allen film, Flag Day, and a new Mario Party game. This year is obviously no different, so here are a few details for the upcoming party of Marios:
Play with motion control: Players row their way through a river race, punch a statue to pieces, steer race cars, mopeds and go-karts and handle a balancing pole while walking a tightrope.
Play using the Pointer: Shoot at Boos in a haunted house, rag and drop toppings in a cake-decorating competition, select the correct answers in game show challenges.
Play using the Wii Remote’s buttons: Players jump and pummel their way through a football brawl, hop and run across a field of spinning platforms
Mario Party 8 also includes dozens of new minigames, six new party boards and many new game modes. In a series first, players can transform their characters into many forms, such as player-smashing boulders and coin-sucking vampires. Mario Party 8 also includes “extra-large” minigames like Star Carnival Bowling and Table Menace. One to four players can play Mario Party 8, each with a Wii Remote.
Players can transform their character using candy power-ups. Examples: When Peach eats Bowlo Candy, she’ll turn into a Peach-faced ball and bowl over characters to get their coins. When Wario eats Vampire Candy, he’ll sprout wings and fly off to suck the coins from all other players.
A more engaging view of the action puts the player “on the board” with his traveling character, no longer far above the whole board looking down.
…groundbreaking.
