What You Need

  • Mario Party

While many people may never engage with it, Mario Party does actually have a single-player experience of sorts. You could obviously play the normal game against AI opponents, but there is something to be gained from exploring the solo experiences too. The most interesting thing you can unlock only by playing by yourself is the three Bumper Ball mazes. These are unique challenges based on the Bumper Ball mini-game that you can take on. If you're planning a party of one, here's how to unlock Bumper Ball Maze 1,2, and 3 in Mario Party.
