Mario Party Advance[a] is a 2005 party video game developed by Hudson Soft and A.I and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. It is the first handheld game in the Mario Party series and the seventh entry in the series overall. The game was re-released on the Virtual Console for the Wii U in 2014.
Mario Party Advance differs from other titles in the Mario Party series in its focus on one single-player mode rather than several multiplayer modes. However, traditional Mario Party gameplay is present in players choosing a character from the Mario franchise, moving around an interactive game board, and playing various minigames.
Upon release, the game received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom panned its single-player focus. Retrospectively, Mario Party Advance is widely considered to be one of the worst games in the Mario Party series, if not the worst, as well as one of the worst Mario games of all time. The game was succeeded by Mario Party 7 for the GameCube the same year of its release.
