'''Mario Party 5''' is the fifth installment of the ''Mario Party'' series and the second of the series to be released on the Gamecube.

=Story=

[[Mario]] and his friends have been invited to the "Dream Depot" by the [[Star Spirits|Star Guards]] due to being big dreamers. However, [[Bowser]] then invades with the aid of his [[Koopa Kid]] sidekick in order to make his own dreams come true. In the story mode the chosen character must compete with the Koopa Kids on each board to earn the right to thwart Bowser's ambitions.

=Gameplay=

''Mario Party 5'' builds on the gameplay of the previous installments. Once more the players compete on board game-like levels and in minigames to earn coins and stars. One of the new additions is the capsule system which replaces items, as the orbs are used to change spaces to give special effects to players who activate them. This also notably changes the playable roster by replacing [[Donkey Kong]] with  [[Toad]], [[Boo]] and a Koopa Kid. Donkey Kong remains as a non-playable character with his own event space similar to Bowser's, where he can grant favors and allow players to compete in his minigames.

The game also features a new Super-Duel Mode (unrelated to the Duel Mode of ''[[Mario Party 3]]'') in which players can purchase parts and build battle machines that can be used to compete in tournaments or against other players. There was additionally a Bonus Mode which contained special minigames
