'''''Mario Party 9''''' is the ninth home console installment of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] and the second and final installment for the [[Wii]]. The game was the first in the series to be developed by [[NDcube]] instead of [[Hudson Soft]], as a result of the latter's acquisition by [[Konami]]. It is also the sixteenth in the series overall. The game was released on March 2, 2012 in Europe, in Australia on March 8, 2012, in North America on March 11, 2012, and in Japan on April 26, 2012. The host of the game is a yellow [[Toad (species)|Toad]] for the boards while a blue Toad is the host for minigames, and a green Toad appears near the end of boards to initiate an event similar to the [[Last Five Turns Event]] from past ''Mario Party'' games. This is also the twenty-fifth and final installment of the ''Super Mario'' franchise overall to be released for the Wii console. Unlike ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the game features widescreen support. | '''''Mario Party 9''''' is the ninth home console installment of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] and the second and final installment for the [[Wii]].

The game's story mode, Solo Mode, involves the players traveling across all six boards to defeat Bowser, Bowser Jr., Magikoopa, and Shy Guy and save the Mini Stars. Completing Solo Mode awards the player 500 Party Points, and the Mini Star grand total is also be added onto the player's Party Point amount; for example, finishing Solo Mode with a grand total of 500 Mini Stars awards the player 1000 Party Points. Shy Guy and Magikoopa or both appear in all six boards as CPU players competing against the player. | The game's story mode, Solo Mode, involves the players traveling across all six boards to defeat Bowser, Bowser Jr., Magikoopa, and Shy Guy and save the Mini Stars.

Also, instead of always playing against three other computer players in a four-player match on each board, sometimes, the player plays a three-player match against two computers, or a two-player duel match against one computer (either Magikoopa or Shy Guy). The minigames for the three-player matches are Free-for-all minigames and 1 vs 2 minigames, and all minigames in two-player matches are Free-for-all minigames, adapted for duels. The award system for minigames in a three-player match is five stars for first place, three stars for second place, and one star for third place, and the award system for minigames in a two-player duel match is five stars for first place and one star for second place. The player often has at least one ally on four boards; if they win instead of the player, then they can still continue to the next board regardless of their final position. If Magikoopa or Shy Guy wins, then they take all the Mini Stars from the other players and the player must replay the board. If Magikoopa or Shy Guy ties with the player or an ally, the player still continues to the next stage. | Also, instead of always playing against three other computer players in a four-player match on each board, sometimes, the player plays a three-player match against two computers, or a two-player duel match against one computer (either Magikoopa or Shy Guy).
