## Description

*Wii Party U* is a multiplayer video game consisting of a standard board game with mini-games, similar to *Mario Party*. Over 80 different new mini-games are available. Multiple people can play mini-games using the Wii U GamePad. Wii Party U also includes a new accessory, a stand for the Wii U GamePad to allow support for the tabletop games. "House Party" games also return from *Wii Party*, and focus on various implementations of the Wii U GamePad and Wii Remotes among a group of people.

There are four different types of party modes. The first is the TV Party, which can include up to 4 players that use the Wii Motion Remotes and the Wii U GamePad on the television. This mode is a board-game with each tile having some effect upon the players. The host of the game's name is Party Phil (as he was on the previous Wii Party game) and he controls and announces what happens in the game.

**Highway Rollers**: Players get to roll many dice to land on spaces and go far and do some challenges.

**GamePad Island**: Players move the number of spaces you earn in mini-games that involve you to roll the die. Challenges start after getting some balloons.

**Mii Fashion Plaza**: Players now have the ability to earn "Specialty Rolls" and may wear costumes to show the "Center Stage" to earn points. They start the game off with choosing costumes from the roulette. then the also start by giving them a "Specialty Roll": The "Roll x2".

**The Balldozer**: Players drop balls in the "Balldozer" machine. Depending on the ranks, first player gets 4 balls (max), second 3, third 2 and last player only gets 1. The colours that represent the players are in Blue, Red, Green and Yellow. They will give you 1 point but the golden ball is worth 10 points, and a skull ball is minus 5 points. And starting in the 3 round, the hoops will come up and if one ball drops in, you get 'Bonus time'.

**Team Building** (also known as **Teammate Madness** in Europe): Match Mii characters to create the perfect team.

The second mode is the House Party where players use the Wii U GamePad as the screen instead of the television with the inclusion of the Wii Remotes. The third type is the GamePad Party, which allows up to two players to use the Wii U GamePad to play in tabletop minigames. The final mode is the Minigame mode. This is where players can challenge each other in all the different minigames from the previous modes.

**Minigame Collection**: One to four players can play all the minigames that is available on Wii Party U.

**Freeplay Challenge**: One player can play the minigames in order to challenge themselves by attempting to break the records of each minigame. The only freeplay challenge game that can be played with more than one player is 'Big Bang Blasters'.

**Bridge Burners**: Players (2-4 players) team up with each other to play minigames and "knock down bridges" in order to beat the other team.

**Dojo Domination**: This is a single player mode in which the player challenges 30 CPU Miis (either custom made or official) to the minigames and attempts to last as long as they can. You have to defeat all 30 Miis, with the goal of not trying not to get below first place.

**Battle of the Minigames**: Two to four players face off in minigames to see who will reach the top of the stage to get first place.

**Tabletop Tournament**: Players use the Wii U GamePad to face off in "single-elimination or round-robin tabletop tournament."
