Mario Party: Team Race

Mario Party: Team Race is a spin-off of the Mario Party series released for the Wii in 2009. The game was developed by Hudson Soft, and was their last Mario Party game before Nd Cube took over.
The main mode is Team Race where each teams' goal is to collect the most stars. Additionally, there is a Minigame Tournament mode, where 4 players try to win the most minigames.
==Story==
It was peaceful in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi were relaxing with the Princess, until Wario crashed the party! Wario challenged Mario to bring 3 of his friends to compete in a Mario Party to see which team can get the most stars!
Mario asked Toadsworth to host the Mario Party, to keep things fair for both teams, Toadsworth presented 8 pipes leading to different boards, each he placed multiple stars and coins in. Unknown to Mario and friends, Bowser caught wind of the Mario Party, and ordered his minions to sabotage it!
Toadsworth and the Princess got their Toads to set up shops for Mario and friends to make the party more interesting. And at last, the Mario Party began.
==Gameplay==
===Team Race===
This mode has a unique formula compared to the mainline games, there are 2 teams comprised of 4 players each, up to 2 real players and 2 computer players can be on each team, or you can play solo, and have the rest of the players be computer controlled.
Both teams' goal is to collect the most stars, when 1 player collects a star, all team members get a star, meaning you get up to 4 stars per star you collect. If 2 players, (both from a different team) collide, then a 1v1 minigame will start, the loser gets completely eliminated from the board.
Another way to prevent a team from getting stars, or getting close to you, is purchasing sabotages from Toad Houses scattered around the board with the coins you collect from board spaces and minigames.
After every player rolls, a 4v4 or Free-For-All minigame will start.
The stars you collect throughout the board are all regular stars, except for the one the winning team gets, that would be the Grand Star.
===Minigame Tournament===
The additional mode Minigame Tournament has 4 players compete to win the most minigames, the minigames have been edited to accommodate for only 4 players. each player is placed on a podium. that moves up if they win a minigame.
==Multiplayer==
===Teams===
You can make your own team with 3 other people, or join a team that needs spots filled. Teams will have the amount of Grand Stars they've won displayed on their profile.
===Tournament===
Teams can participate in a tournament, and winning grants you 10 Grand Stars. The tournament is split into Start, Semi Finals, and Final 
8 teams in total can participate, 4 in Group A, 4 in Group B. The Tournament starts with the 4 teams from Group A battling, and the 4 teams from Group B battling. The winner moves onto the Semi-Finals, in which they will battle the other team that won. Finally, the semi-final Group A winner, and the semi-final Group B winner will compete to see who gets the 10 Grand Stars!
