Earning Mario Party Points in Mario Party DS
Party Points (also known as Mario Party Points and MP Points) are points that players can gain in Mario Party DS, Mario Party 9, Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party 10, Super Mario Party, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. They are similar to Cruise Mileage Points from Mario Party 7 and Carnival Cards from Mario Party 8. There are many ways to gain Party Points, and they are rewarded for almost every aspect of the game. For example, the player may gain Party Points by moving through spaces. Party Points are used to achieve badges and Character Figures seen at the Gallery in Mario Party DS. When reaching a certain amount of points, the player may win one of these prizes.
