'''Mario Party Advance''' is a [[Game Boy Advance]] spin-off of the ''Mario Party'' games.

=Story=

[[Mario]] and his friends have just arrived in Party World to have a fun time when [[Bowser]] arrives and scatters all of the minigames and [[Gaddget]]s. Mario and the others must explore Shroom City to gather them all and restore peace to the Party World.

=Gameplay=

The game works quite differently from the console ''Mario Party'' games, being oriented more for single players. Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Princess Peach]] are the only playable characters. 

The main mode is called Shroom City and is represented as a board containing several different environments. The player's character rides a car while traversing the board, and their goal is to complete a total of 50 quests for the characters living on different spaces. Instead of having a set number of turns, the player has a limited number of mushrooms that are used up each time that a player has to roll a dice bock. If a player runs out of mushrooms, they get a game over and must restart. When this happens, the player will lose progress of any quests that have not been completed, but they will retain data of any completed quests and have the option to switch characters, as some quests are only available for certain characters. 

By completing quests, players could also earn different Gaddgets, which could be used to play short minigames in another mode. The content of the quests themselves vary from minigames to relaying messages between characters or solving puzzles or riddles for characters. Minigames are also played occasionally while traversing the board or by landing on M spaces and are completed to earn extra mushrooms. In this game, minigames primarily consist of challenges presented in a 2-D sidescrolling style, as opposed to the 3-D style of the other ''Mario Party'' games. The board also has Minus Spaces, through which players can lose mushrooms.

Other modes included Play Land (for playing or giving away minigames and Gaddgets), Party Land (for multuplayer minigames) and Challenge Land (where coins can be earned by playing minigames). Some minigames and Gaddgets can be played by four players, but otherwise only two players could compete in Duel Minigames. The original released of the game also came with a Bonus Board, a physical paper board that could be used to physically play a four-player game of ''Mario Party'', with the game being capable of being used for the dice and for playing minigames.
