Mario Party 2 is the second board game in the Mario Party series as party video games for Nintendo 64 console. The game was released on January 24, 2000 in North America more than a month after its inaugural release in Japan on December 17, 1999. Europe saw its release much later on October 12, 2000.

There are six playable characters named Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong who all keep changing their costumes as the new boards keep coming in the play. Bowser and Koopa Troopa never appear on the board though they have other roles to play.

There are many mini-games categorized as four-player, one vs. three, two vs. two, and battle games that come under play depending on the number of characters either gaining or else losing the coins and the stars. If all the four players are either gaining or losing coins, four-player is played. If three are gaining and one is losing or vice versa, one vs. three is played and so on. In all 43 new mini-games are introduced in the second version of the party keeping the old ones intact and some of them renamed. Three new types of mini-games are also introduced named as the Battle mini-game, the Item mini-game, and the Duel mini-game.

New buildings - the Item Shop and the Koopa Bank - as well as new spaces - the Battle Space, the Item Space, and the Bank Space - have been introduced in the game too. They mostly deal with initiating mini-games, depositing and disbursing coins in/on them.

Mario Party 2 - the second board game in the Mario Party series as party video games for Nintendo 64 console - has been welcomed all over with its new features that it has come up with.
