Mario Party 2

&nbsp Mario Party 2 is the second game in the series and was released on the Nintendo 64 on December 17, 1999 in Japan and was last released in Australia in October 2000. There are still the six main characters butthey dress up depending on what board you select.
 * Horror Land - The characters dress as wizards while exploring a spooky and magical land that alternates between day and night, full of ghosts, tombstones, magic eyeballs, and disembodied laughter.
 * Mystery Land - The characters dress up as archaeologists to explore ancient ruins.
 * Pirate Land - The characters dress up as pirates as they search for treasure, facing sharks and the sword blades of their opponents.
 * Western Land - The characters journey to the stereotypical "Old West" of the USA, where they face cactus, quicksand, and gun-slinging duels at high noon.
 * Space Land - The characters blast off to outer space.
 * Bowser Land - This board is only unlocked after the player has played each of the other boards at least once. The characters face off against Bowser on his own turf.
 * There are 65 mini-games in Mario Party 2. They are divided into four-player, one vs. three, two vs. two, and battle games. The type of mini game is determined by the color of the spaces players land on. If all 4 players have the same color panel, whether it's red or blue, a four player mini game begins. If 2 players have a blue panel, and the other 2 have a red panel, then it's a two versus two mini game. If one player has a blue panel, and the others have a red panel, or vice versa, then a one versus 3 mini game begins. If a player lands on a battle space, a battle mini game begins.

The mini games have varied objectives. For example, the objective of "Mecha Marathon" is to get your wind up toy the furthest distance by repeatedly tapping A+B at the same time. Some mini games (such as "Face Lift" using the main characters instead of Bowser) have been edited and transferred and/or also retitled from the first Mario Party. Although many are identical, some have different objectives and/or change appearance in some way. An example is slot car derby, which has a new background. Mini-games that involve rotating the control stick, which were in the original Mario Party, are not present in this installment due to potential injuries, such as blisters, from rotating the stick too quickly; this was the subject of a lawsuit in the case of the first game.
