Mario Party 8 is a Wii Game and the ninth Mario Party in the Mario Party series. It is the first out of two Wii Mario Party games (other being Mario Party 9). The host of this party is a ringmaster named MC Ballyhoo and Top Hat. There are 6 courses in this game (5 starting: 1 unlockable). The main item in this game is candy.


Story[]

The ringmaster and host of the party, MC Ballyhoo and Top Hat decide to host a Star Carnival and invite Mario and his friends. The prize for defeating other contestants is a huge pack of candies. Then, Mario and the crew battle on party boards to determine who the grand prize winner is.

After defeating the fifth contestant, MC Ballyhoo changes his mind about giving candies but gives a star rod to the lucky winner. However, Bowser steals the Star Rod and flies to his party board where the lucky winner must go to defeat Hammer Bro. or Blooper. Defeating one of them will unlock the defeated minion. Redoing the arena using the defeated minion as the lucky winner will unlock the other minion. After defeating the minion, Bowser will challenge the lucky winner and the player must use the star rod to defeat Bowser. After defeating him, he will fall into a hole and the lucky winner will return to the carnival where they return the star rod.
