== Duel Mode ==
The duel mode of Mario Party 3 features six duel modes, one of which is unlocked upon completion of the story mode. In this mode, the player is given a partner that must aid them in defense against the opposing attacks, and attack the opponent. The players start with five hearts, and upon losing these hearts, they lose. The game plays in either a twenty turn match in which the players must last out each other's onslaughts with their partners or until one of the player's health drops down to zero. The other mode is an infinite turn game that ends when one of the players is defeated in combat.
