Mario Party-e is a Mario Party-themed board game that makes optional use of the Game Boy Advance's e-Reader. It was released on February 18, 2003, exclusively in North America. The cover art uses similar key artwork to Mario Party 4, the latest Mario Party game at the time of its release.
A significant departure from the series, Mario Party-e is a card game that involves trying to get three superstar clothes accessories, and getting a superstar to win. However, there are many cards that can stop the player from reaching this goal. Many of these cards contain "dot-codes" which, when scanned into the e-Reader allow players to play minigames similar to those found in the regular Mario Party series.
