Mario Party 7 is a party game where Mario and his friends take a break from fighting evil and saving the world by going on a cruise. However, their fun is ruined when Bowser shows up and starts causing trouble.
The goal of the game is to collect as many stars as possible while navigating around the board game board. After each turn, players compete in one of 86 mini games, with the winner earning coins that can be used to purchase stars. Mini games can be played individually or in teams, and some spaces on the board offer bonus items, special challenges, or opportunities to slow down opponents.
The game features a unique combination of board game-style gameplay and mini games, all controlled using the GameCube controller and sometimes with the included microphone for voice-activated mini games. In addition to the standard single-player and multi-player modes, Mario Party 7 also introduces a new mode that allows up to eight players to compete simultaneously.

Story
Story
Oh, I say! Hello there! It's me, Toadsworth! Yes, yes, let me tell you about what happened recently. Mario and his friends are always busy fighting evil and saving the world and so forth, so I offered him a chance to come on a cruise around the world! Oh ho! Splendid!
But in doing so, I apparently made that rogue Bowser somewhat angry. Let me tell you what he said...
"This makes me MAAAAD! GRRRAAAA!!! They're going on vacation... AND NOT TAKING ME! They want a fun vacation? I'll give them a fun vacation! And by that, I mean NO FUN AT ALL! I'll find those chumps and wreck their good time! Bwa ha ha ha!"
Great Kippers! That King Koopa has never been this angry! Who knows what he'll do? But chin up, old bean! We won't let him ruin our good times, right? Right!
