If you really can't beat the story mode, try this tip:
For example, if you need to roll a 6 and you roll a 3, press start and stop the Mario Party 5 party. Go back to party mode and continue with this party. (The game saved the party before you rolled, after each minigame) Roll again. If you roll well, continue; if you roll poorly, do this again. Don't do this in the 1st round of the party. Then you have to set everything up again!

After completing all the game boards in story mode, you will have to face Bowser: How do you defeat him?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
After completing all the game boards in the story mode of Mario Party 5, you have to face off against Bowser.
First, you have to battle fire-spitting birds that you can defeat by jumping on them. If you get hit by the fire or jump on the bird while it's overheated, you lose a life (heart). Once you've defeated them all, Bowser sends 3 moving fire hoops that you must dodge by jumping over them or moving in the same direction as the hoops, but BEWARE! Hoops can overlap and trap you. If you touch the fire, you also lose a life (heart).
If you survive the hoops, Bowser himself comes to fight you. He jumps on you, headbutts you, or spits fire. The only way to defeat him is by making him land on the same stone 3 times, causing him to fall through it.
If Bowser hits you, you lose another life.
When Bowser falls through the floor, the floor disappears, and you fall down too.
You land on a new platform. Bowser drinks a potion that makes him grow and he sinks because he's too heavy for the floor.
Now he throws balls that you have to dodge. The balls stay on the ground.
Then he spits fire, and the balls turn into white balls that are dangerous for him. After that, he throws a ball that emits a glow, making the other balls disappear. So, you need to pick up a ball and jump over the glow.
Next, you move to the circle in front of Bowser's head, jump, and throw the ball in Bowser's face.
Repeat this until all of Bowser's lives are gone. Be careful, if the balls touch the fire or the glow, you lose a life, and if you run out of lives, it's game over.
