Mario Party 7

Mario Party 7 is a party game developed by Hudson Soft that was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. 
== Gameplay ==
Mario Party 7 doesn't chance much from the original Mario Party games, featuring board game-like characteristics in which Mario series characters collect as many stars and coins as they can until the game ends. This is the second Mario Party game to utilize the GameCube's Microphone peripheral, the first being Mario Party 6. Similar to other late GameCube games, Mario Party 7 offers a mode in which up-to eight players can play at once. In these minigames, players share the controllers, playing each controller with two people at once.
The game sports all of the playable characters that were featured in Mario Party 6, however, the game adds two more characters to the roster. These two characters are Birdo and Dry Bones, the former's Mario Party debut. Both of these characters can be obtained by purchasing them from the Duty-Free Shop in the game; both have a price of 1000 points as well.
== Items ==
The items in this Mario Party game are the same as those from Mario Party 6 — the orbs. In addition to being the orbs, there are also some new orbs offered in this game. Some orb's abilities have been chanced as well.
