Haven't received your invite yet? Well, it may be time to beg, as the exclusive party hosted by Nintendo is definitely the place to be seen this year. Mushroom Kingdom is a scorcher of a venue to be at, and a great place to rub shoulders with the stars.

Mario Party 4 promises to be the best fun yet with up to 50 all-new mini-games to throw yourself and your friends into. With awesome graphics and fun-filled gameplay, this game will have you on the edge of your seat as you pitch to win to be party king. As you make your way around a giant boardgame, you'll find yourself frantically competing in basketball challenges, a drawing race, dodging a shower of oversized books, and winning lots of crazy competitions.

In what promises to be multi-player pandemonium, up to four people can choose their favourite Nintendo characters, hit the controller, and give it their best. Whether you're a seasoned Mario Party veteran, or it's your first invitation, you'll have a blast racing against your friends to grab every last star you can.

It's time to battle it out in a series of exciting contests and prove your 'passion to party'. Feeling down on your luck? Well, the newly introduced Tag Battle means you can now pair up into two-man teams; bump, whack and bang your way to glory.

What's more, throughout Mario Party 4, you can dash through a huge array of different challenges that'll pit one player against three, two against two, four against one or all the players against each other. If it's a little practice you need before the big night, then switch onto the story mode that will give you a sneaky opportunity to get ready for victory.
