Mario Party 6

Mario Party 6 is the a party game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo that was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004. As the name suggests, it is the sixth installment of the Mario Party series.
== Gameplay ==
Mario Party 6 plays similarly to its predecessor Mario Party games, featuring board game like qualities. The object is still the same: collect as many stars as you can. This game, however, does possess a new gimmick for the Mario Party series: the Microphone for the Nintendo GameCube. This game was bundled with this peripheral as well. The Microphone is used in various minigames featured in the game known as "Mic Minigames."
The characters featured in Mario Party 6 are the same overall as Mario Party 5, however, a new unlockable character, Toadette, can be purchased at the store for 1000 points as well.
The game, in addition to the Microphone gimmick, features a Day & Night gimmick in which every five turns on the board, it turns to night or day in a cycle until the game is over. The board changes drastically upon its change of day to night and vice-versa. 
== Items ==
The items in this game are known as "orbs," similar to that of the "capsules" in Mario Party 5. Each orb features a unique ability that can make or break a player on the board. A list of orbs can be found below:
