The first portable incarnation of Mario Party Advance , released on 2005-01-13 , shakes things up quite a bit on the Game Boy Advance. With the focus on single-player, there are all kinds of single-player mini-games, one giant single-player board to traverse instead of multiple ones (Shroom City), and all kinds of different Gaddgets and gameplay modes to indulge in.
The main single-player experience involves traveling across "Shroom City," which is a major departure from the standard set-up in past Mario Party titles. You have the choice to be Mario , Luigi , Peach , or Yoshi , and depending on who you choose, you'll start at a different spot on the board, which is quite large.
You're given die rolls to navigate the board and, when you reach special sections of the map, complete special quests, which often involve helping residents of Shroom City and/or participating in special challenges. Most quests involve collecting some sort of object elsewhere or a mini-game. By completing these quests, you'll collect stars, which eventually allow for special boss bouts with Bowser , and you'll unlock mini-games and Gaddets, which are simple, toy-like contraptions that you can play with.
The game ends when you complete your allotted number of turns, although additional turns and die rolls can be earned during the game by completing the "Mushroom Challenges" that occur rather often. After completing your session, your rewards are saved, and you can play with your mini-games and Gaddets in Play Mode.
There are also two additional modes available, "Party Land," where you can play special duel mini-games with a friend, and "Challenge Land," where you play through special modes that test your mini-game skills to earn coins, which can be used to purchase additional unlockables in a shop.
Finally, there is also a feature called the "Bonus Board." You can play with a board that is included with the game using the Game Boy Advance. The GBA takes care of die rolls, mini-games, and end-of-the-game events.

STARTING A NEW GAME
Ensure the Game Boy Advance is turned off before inserting the Game Pak. During the opening cinema, press START to reach the title screen. The first time you play, you will need to create a passport.
PARTY WORLD & BONUS BOARD
Once you have created a passport, select Party World to start playing. You can also access the Bonus Board to play a Mario Party board game with friends (see Page 27 for details). Access your passport from the title screen to trade it or change your secret (see Page 24 for details).
SHROOM CITY
Start!
Choose your character and begin exploring Shroom City. You will ride around in a Mushroom Car, starting with five mushrooms. Each mushroom allows you one roll of the dice.
Rolling the Dice and Moving
Roll the dice to determine how many spaces you can move. If you pass a building without entering, it does not count against your roll. However, you must stop at buildings if you wish to receive quests and important information.
Turn End
Your turn ends automatically after moving the rolled number of spaces, or if you enter a building before moving all spaces. Repeat these steps until you run out of mushrooms. You earn more mushrooms after every three turns (see Page 13 for more information).
Game Over
If you run out of mushrooms or quit, the game ends. The results screen displays the mini-games and Gaddgets you earned. See Page 13 for details.
Quests and Microgames
Quests are challenges, such as errands, crimes, or mini-games, that you must complete to win. Microgames are short games played to earn rewards. Instructions appear before you play a microgame.
More Mushrooms
After every three turns, a mini-game wheel determines which mini-game you play. Winning grants three more mushrooms. If you run out of mushrooms, your game is over.
Result Screen
The result screen shows all earned Gaddgets and mini-games. It only appears when quitting or upon game over. In other modes, you can replay mini-games from the wheel or by stopping on a Mini-game Space.
