Mario and his friends take a break from their usual adventures to enjoy a cruise, but Bowser crashes the party. To restore peace, they resort to playing Mario Party 7 , a game that combines board game and mini-game elements. The objective is to collect as many stars as possible by navigating through the game board, competing in one of 86 mini games after each turn. Players can earn coins to purchase stars, with options to play team-based or solo.
The gameplay features various spaces on the board that trigger special events, such as Bowser mini-games, hidden bonuses, or orb purchases to hinder opponents. Most mini-games are controlled using the GameCube controller, while a microphone is included for voice-activated games. The game includes standard single-player and multi-player modes, with a new eight-player variation where two players share each controller.

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!
