-= 2. Introduction -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Mario Party 3 is the newly-released game in the series of the highly popular
party game for the Nintendo 64. It was recently released in the US, and it is
by all means MUCH better than the first two games of this series! There are
new characters and options, plus there are 70 BRAND NEW mini-games to try! If
you liked the previous two games in the series, then you should definitely
pick up a copy of this game soon!

*****************************************************************************

-= 3. Story -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

In the center of the vast universe, a remarkably bright star was born. It was
a star that is born only once in a thousand years, the Millenium Star.
According to legend, whoever possessed this mystical star was destined to
become the Superstar of the universe. However, since the Millenium Star was
but a newborn, it fell from the starry sky.

Around that time, Mario and his friends were all happily relaxing when
suddenly the Millenium Star came crashing down. Mario and his friends soon
began arguing about who should keep the Millenium Star.

Suddenly, the Millenium Star gave off a brilliantly bright flash of light.
And with that bright flash, Mario and his friends were transported inside a
toy box!

"Greetings. I am the Millenium Star. You must pass my test to prove yourself
worthy of possessing me. You must journey across many lands and collect the
Star Stamps. If you can collect all seven, I shall accept you as the top
Superstar in the universe."

Game Board Spaces

In Mario Party 3, there are 2 different types of boards: the regular 4-player

=====================
Game Mode Information
=====================

Mario Party is divided into two different modes this time around: Story Mode
and Party Mode. In the Story Mode, there is some sort of story you're
following which involves playing on many game boards and trying to collect
the most Stars. After you go through the movie sequences that tell the story,
you'll be brought to the main game area. In Party Mode, you automatically get
brought to the main area. There are a few things you can do at that point:

Mushroom Castle: Here, you can enter either of the side rooms to listen to
sound tests. You can enter the middle room and talk to the
red or green Koopas to view some game records.

Party Map/Blue Star: Here, you play the regular 4-player boards. You must
play each one in order in Story Mode, but you can select
any one you want in Party Mode.

Mini-Game Room/Yellow Star: You cannot access this area while playing in
Story Mode. However, in Party Mode, you can go
here and play any mini-games you already revealed
in the game itself.

Duel Map/Red Star: Here, you and another character will play on a special
battle map, where you must use helpers to defeat the other
person and win.

Millenium Star: In Story Mode, select this silver star to hear about how
you're being graded when completing the boards, in the form
of Star Levels. Below, I'll list the 4 ranks and the
requirements for each Star Level in each game mode.

===========
Star Levels
===========

In Story Mode, you are given a rank in the form of a Star Level after
completing each Battle Royal or Duel Maps. The four ranks are S, A, B, and C;
each one is gained according to your performance in the board maps. If you
manage to beat Story Mode with high ranks, there will be hidden areas
unlocked in the game (check the Secrets section of this guide for more
detailed information). Here, I'll list those requirements for each rank:

S Rank
------

Battle Royal: Win the board and have at least 2 more Stars than the 2nd place
winner (after the bonus stars are given out).

Duel: Win the board and have at least 3 more pieces of the heart than your
opponent.

A Rank
------

Battle Royal: Win the board and have at least 1 more Star than the 2nd place
winner (after the bonus stars are given out).

Duel: Win the board and have at least 2 more pieces of the heart than your
opponent.

B Rank
------

Battle Royal: Have the same amount of Stars as the 2nd place winner, but win
the board by having more Coins.

Duel: Win the board and have at least 1 more piece of the heart than your
opponent.

C Rank
------

Battle Royal: Have the same amount of Stars and Coins as the 2nd place
winner, but win by rolling a higher number on the dice block.

Duel: Have the same amount of pieces of heart as your opponent, but win by
having more Coins.

Pre-Game Settings
-----------------

Before you start Story Mode for the first time, there are a few settings you
must adjust before you play, including the player you wish to use (Waluigi
and Daisy are NOT accessible in Story Mode), the difficulty setting of the
game, and if you want all mini-games or just the easy ones. Those settings
are kept until you complete Story Mode or if you start a new file. Also, you
play for 15 turns on each board in this mode.

Game Order
----------

Story Mode is a little different than the rest of the game because of the set
order you do things in. Here is the order in which you take on the regular
(also known as Battle Royal Maps), the Duel Maps, and which Star Stamp you
win and where:

Battle Royal Map 1 - Chilly Waters
Duel Map 1 - Gate Guy (Wit Star Stamp)
Battle Royal Map 2 - Deep Bloober Sea
Duel Map 2 - Arrowhead (Kindness Star Stamp)
Battle Royal Map 3 - Spiny Desert
Duel Map 3 - Pipesqueak (Strength Star Stamp)
Battle Royal Map 4 - Woody Woods
Duel Map 4 - Blowhard (Love Star Stamp)
Battle Royal Map 5 - Creepy Cavern
Duel Map 5 - Mr. Mover (Courage Star Stamp)
Daisy Duel Map - Backtrack (Beauty Star Stamp)
Waluigi Battle Royal Map - Waluigi's Island (Mischief Star Stamp)
VS. Millennium Star (Stardust Battle)

After you beat the first 5 regular/Duel boards, Daisy will appear and you'll
have to play her on the Backtrack Duel board. When you beat that, you will
then be challenged by Waluigi, and you'll play him on his regular game board,
known as Waluigi's Island. After you beat his board, the Millennium Star will
be floating in the air in the main area. Select it and you'll have to play
against it in a mini-game where you must defeat Millennium Star. Information
on this game will be at the end of the Mini-Games section of the guide. When
you beat that, you will have completed the entire Story Mode and the credits
will show.

*****************************************************************************

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-= 7. Items -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

There is a wide variety of items that you can obtain throughout the levels to
help you and/or harm others. You can buy most of these items from the Item
Shops run by Toad or Baby Bowser, get them as prizes in Item Games, or have
them given to you randomly when landing on an Item Space. Here, I'll list all
the items along with their prices if bought, who you can buy them from, and
what they do.

Regular Items
-------------

Mushroom

an amount of Coins and play a Duel game to decide who wins
them.

of Millennium Star to change, meaning that the star location
on the board will change to a random place.

on each will combine and that's how far you move.

suit. After they hit the dice block, whoever's in their path
gives you 20 Coins.

that you have 20 Coins to spare before using this, or you'll
just be wasting this item.

Buy From: Toad or Baby Bowser
Information: When you buy this item, you can get random items from it by
hitting it.

Rare Items

from Hidden Blocks, or from within Item Bags.

Koopa Card

all the Coins out of a Koopa Bank when you pass it on the

your items for another player's items.

=================
Battle Royal Maps
=================

Chilly Waters
-------------

Blue Spaces: 52
Red Spaces: 12
Bowser Spaces: 6
"!" Spaces: 3
Battle Spaces: 6
Happening Spaces: 9
Item Spaces: 11
Koopa Bank Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: If a character is on a space along the upper, left or right
sides of the board, and someone steps on a "?" Space, an Action
Event will start. A giant snowball will start rolling along the
north path and any characters in its way must jump or they'll
be pushed to the right side. The snowball will then roll along
a side path, and anyone who gets in its way will be sent to the
end of the path. However, this Action Event may not occur if
the snowman does not wake up after you land on a Happening
Space. If that's the case, then consider yourself lucky!

Hazards: In the middle area of the board, it is very icy. From the center,
you will see several paths branching out with small hills dividing
that area from the rest of the board. If you get to that middle area
and choose a path, you'll have to go up the small hill to proceed.
Most of the time you do, but if you don't, you're stuck on the space
before the hill until your next turn.

Deep Bloober Sea
----------------

Blue Spaces: 44
Red Spaces: 4
Bowser Spaces: 5
"!" Spaces: 3
Battle Spaces: 5
Happening Spaces: 16
Item Spaces: 12
Koopa Bank Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: At the upper-left section of the map, there are several
Happening Spaces lined up. There is a giant vacuum-type
creature sitting alongside that area. If you step on one of
those spaces, it'll start to suck you in, so press A repeatedly
to avoid being sucked in. If you can't escape, you'll be shot
in whatever direction the arrow on top of it was pointing
towards.

Hazards: There is an intersection between two paths at the left side of the
board. When you try to pass, a shark will let you pass only if you
push a button on a panel. If you push the wrong button and pass, a
Bullet Bill will shoot you so you end up going down the opposite
path. If you aren't shot, then you just continue on the path you
want. Also, in between the two parallel middle paths sits a giant
Bloober. If you step on a Happening Space on either of those paths,
the Bloober will pull you to the other path, and vice versa.

Spiny Desert
------------

Blue Spaces: 56
Red Spaces: 6
Bowser Spaces: 5
"!" Spaces: 3
Battle Spaces: 6
Happening Spaces: 9
Item Spaces: 11
Koopa Bank Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: Near the middle of this board, there is an intersection where
you can choose to either continue along the path, or go through
the desert. Going through the desert requires you to press A to
jump over the catcus in the way. If you don't jump, you'll be
sent all the way to the side of the board.

Hazards: There are 2 sections of the board where the path goes in a circle
around a sand pit. There are also many Happening Spaces around it as
well. If you step on one, whoever is standing around that center
area will be sucked in and brought to the other circular area on the
board.

Woody Woods
-----------

Blue Spaces: 48
Red Spaces: 7
Bowser Spaces: 4
"!" Spaces: 2
Battle Spaces: 5
Happening Spaces: 9
Item Spaces: 13
Koopa Bank Spaces: 1
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: At one intersection in the upper-left area of this board,
there's a giant tree. It'll tell you about two types of fruit
within its branches, then offer you the chance to pick one of
them. You must pick either the left or the right fruit, then
after you pick one, you find out what you'll get (either you
get to roll again, or you get some Coins).

Hazards: When you come to some intersections, you'll see a large hole next to
a signpost with an arrow on it. If you land on a Happening Space
before that, you'll cause the mole inside the hole to come out and
change the direction the sign's pointing, making it so you can only
pass in whatever direction it's pointing at.

Creepy Cavern
-------------

Blue Spaces: 50
Red Spaces: 6
Bowser Spaces: 4
"!" Spaces: 2
Battle Spaces: 5
Happening Spaces: 14
Item Spaces: 10
Koopa Bank Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: There are two sets of train tracks that travel from the left
side of the board to the right side. If you move along the
spaces on the tracks and the train is at the station, you'll be
given the option to jump on the train by the Thwomp onboard for
5 Coins. After you pay, the Action Event starts; you must press
A at the right time to jump onto the train, or else you'll be
stuck on that side of the board and will have to continue
normally.

Hazards: In the two middle paths going up and down, there's a giant Whomp
that's lying across one side of the path. If you have a Skeleton
Key, you can use it to make the Whomp fall back across the other
side, giving you access. If you land on a Happening Space near this
blockade in the path, it'll make the Whomp switch sides so it blocks
the opposite path instead. If you land on a Happening Space on the
train tracks, the train will come and make you run down the track to
a safe spot at the end.

Waluigi's Island
----------------

Blue Spaces: 45
Red Spaces: 19
Bowser Spaces: 4
"!" Spaces: 2
Battle Spaces: 5
Happening Spaces: 10
Item Spaces: 9
Koopa Bank Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Item Shops: 2

Action Event: At the north end of the circular path, you have the option to
jump across the water to an intersection. A light will spin
around the 3 arrows at the other side, and the Action Event is
to jump so you'll land when it's pointing in the direction you
wish to go.

Hazards: At the south area of the map, there's a circular path with a few
Happening Spaces on it. If you land on one of the Happening Spaces,
the timer in the middle counts down from 5. If it reaches zero (by
landing on Happening Spaces several times), the dynamite will go off
and all players on the surrounding path lose all their Coins! In the
upper-left area of the map, there's an island you can only access by
crossing one of two drawbridges connected to it. If you land on a
Happening Space near one of those bridges, one bridge will lower
while the other one will raise. Also, on that island, the spaces
change with each turn, so be careful if you go there!

=========
Duel Maps
=========

Gate Guy
--------

Basic Spaces: 15
Mini-Game Spaces: 2
Power-Up Spaces: 1
Backwards Spaces: 4
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Happening Spaces: 3

Information: There is a path going down through the middle of this board.
Both ends of it are guarded by gates, and you must pay 5 Coins
if you want to go down that path. Alongside that middle path
sits a Belltop, and each time you pass him, he'll count down
from 5. Once it reaches zero, both characters will play a Duel
Game and whoever wins will get 20 Coins.

Arrowhead
---------

Basic Spaces: 17
Mini-Game Spaces: 3
Power-Up Spaces: 2
Backwards Spaces: 2
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Happening Spaces: 2

Information: There's nothing of real importance in this level. It's just a
basic and very straightforward board. In the middle area, the
Belltop is there and when he counts down to 0, you enter a Duel
Game with the opponent for a chance to win 20 Coins.

Pipesqueak
----------

Basic Spaces: 13
Mini-Game Spaces: 1
Power-Up Spaces: 1
Backwards Spaces: 4
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Happening Spaces: 2

Information: At each of the 4 corners of this board, you are given the option
to continue on the path or jump into the pipe to get across to
another point on the board. Also, the Belltop is at the halfway
point on the bottom path, and you should know the drill on him
by now.

Blowhard
--------

Basic Spaces: 12
Mini-Game Spaces: 2
Power-Up Spaces: 2
Backwards Spaces: 0
Game Guy Spaces: 6
Happening Spaces: 3

Information: At the middle intersection of this board, there is a giant fan
in the floor. When you pass over it, it switches the position of
your partner(s), which can be to your advantage if you're lucky.
Also, the Belltop counts down each time you pass through this
middle intersection.

Mr. Mover
---------

Basic Spaces: 18
Mini-Game Spaces: 2
Power-Up Spaces: 3
Backwards Spaces: 1
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Happening Spaces: 3

Information: Along the south end of the board, there's a conveyor belt that
moves in one direction. After each turn, it changes direction
from moving left to right, or vice versa.

Backtrack
---------

Basic Spaces: 8
Mini-Game Spaces: 2
Power-Up Spaces: 2
Backwards Spaces: 5
Game Guy Spaces: 2
Happening Spaces: 2

Information: In each of the 5 corners of this star-shaped map, there is a
Backwards Space. If you land on one, it'll switch the direction
that the sign nearby is pointing, causing you to move in the
opposite direction for your next turn. It also switches the
position of your partner(s) in the process.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-= 9. Duel Map Helpers Guide -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

In the special Duel Maps, you and one other player must battle each other
using helpers. Each character comes with a helper when you pick them, and
each one has its advantages and disadvantages. The only way to win in these
Duel Maps is to attack the other player with your helper characters. Each
helper can perform a certain amount of damage from the opponent, and they
have a certain amount of damage they can take before being defeated. If an
attack does more damage than required to knock out your partner, the left
over is carried on to you. For example, if I attacked the opponent with
Snifit as my partner, and they had Toad behind them, the Toad would only
absorb the 1 damage needed to kill it, and your opponent would take the 1
damage left over. Here, I'll list information on each helper along with
information on each one.

Koopa Troopa
Comes with: Mario
Attack: 1
Stamina: 2
Salary: 1 Coin per turn

Goomba
Comes with: Luigi
Attack: 2
Stamina: 1
Salary: 2 Coins per turn

Toad
Comes with: Peach
Attack: 1
Stamina: 1
Salary: 1 Coin per turn
Advantages: When you land on a space with the opponent's mark on it, you
won't have to pay any Coins.

Bob-omb
Comes with: Wario
Attack: 1
Stamina: 1
Salary: 2 Coins per turn
Disadvantages: When it attacks, it'll self-destruct after attacking. It
also avoids your opponent's partners and attacks them
directly.

Boo
Comes with: Yoshi
Attack: 2
Stamina: 1
Salary: 3 Coins per turn
Advantages: When attacked, the attacks go right through it, so it can't
get hurt by attacks. Also, when an opponent's partner
attacks, Boo will attack your opponent for the same amount of
damage that they took from you.
Disadvantages: When attacked, the attack will go right through Big Boo
and hurt your character.

Whomp
Comes with: Donkey Kong
Attack: 0
Stamina: 4
Salary: 3 Coins per turn
Disadvantages: Since it has no attack power, it can't attack the
opponent, but its high defense makes up for that.

Snifit
Comes with: Daisy
Attack: 2
Stamina: 2
Salary: 5 Coins per turn
Advantages: At the beginning of each turn, it'll give your character a
few extra Coins.

Piranha Plant
Comes With: Waluigi
Attack: 3
Stamina: 1
Salary: 5 Coins per turn
Advantages: It sometimes makes an extra die appear, allowing you to roll
to move even more spaces in one turn.

Chomp
Comes with: N/A
Attack: 1
Stamina: 2
Salary: 6 Coins per turn
Advantages: When it attacks, it attacks both the helper between it and
the opponent, as well as the opponent, taking the same amount
of power from each.

Thwomp

-= 16. Game Guy Mini-Games -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Throughout the different boards, you'll most likely land on a Game Guy Space
sooner or later. When you do, Game Guy will appear and take all your Coins,
then whisk you away to a randomly selected Game Guy mini-game, where you can
either come back with more Coins than you started with, or none at all! It's
the ultimate game of chance and luck! The four random mini-games are listed
below for your convenience.

Game Guy's Lucky 7
------------------

In this mini-game, there are 7 steps; you advance up them according to the
number you hit on the dice block. First Game Guy will go, then you will go
afterward. The objective is to get to the highest step without falling off at
the top, and to get higher than Game Guy. You have the option to hit the dice
block a second time, but you should only do that if you're on a really low
step. If you're still lower than Game Guy, you lose; end up on the same block
as or higher than Game Guy, you win.

Game Guy's Magic Boxes
----------------------

There are two chests; Toad sits inside one, and Baby Bowser in the other. The
curtain will hide the chests as they move around, then you have to guess
which chest Toad is in. If you get the one with Toad, you'll win 2x the
amount of Coins you bet, then have the option to continue guessing (you can
play this up to 3 times in one round) in hopes of winning more money.

Game Guy's Roulette
-------------------

You place a bet on which space the shell will stop at. If the shell stops
where you placed your bet, you win however many Coins that space was worth
(consult the list on the right side of the screen for more details). Of
course, the smaller the space you bet on, the more Coins you'll win!

Game Guy's Sweet Surprise
-------------------------

Here, you'll see a large Bow-Wow and a small Bow-Wow sitting in front of 2
cakes. The objective here is to bet on which one will finish their cake
first. The larger one almost always wins, although I've never seen it lose,
so that's your best bet on winning here.
