Mario Party 7

Mario Party 7 is a 2005 party video game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. It is the seventh main installment in the Mario Party series, as well as the fourth and final game in the series to be released for the GameCube. The game was released in North America on November 7, 2005; in Japan on November 10, 2005; in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2006; and in Europe on February 10, 2006. Like most installments in the Mario Party series, Mario Party 7 features characters from the Mario franchise, controlled by human players or artificial intelligence, competing in an interactive board game with a variety of minigames. Many of the minigames make use of the GameCube microphone peripheral introduced in Mario Party 6 (2004). Mario Party 7 also introduces game modes and minigames that involve up to eight players competing simultaneously. The game features twelve playable characters (two of whom are unlockable), six game boards, and more than eighty minigames. Mario Party 7 received mixed reviews from critics, who generally praised its minigames and eight-player mechanics, though criticized its single-player mode and lack of new content overall. The game has sold more than two million copies worldwide, making it the 11th-best-selling game for the GameCube. Mario Party 7 was succeeded by Mario Party 8 for the Wii in 2007.
