Story Mode is a mode in various games of the Mario franchise. They are usually single-player and involve a character trying to reach a certain goal.

Mario Party 3[]
In this game, the player must try and collect the Stamp Stars for the Millennium Star by playing the board games in order. However, after everytime they complete a board, another player comes back and says how much he/she deserves it and is forced to compete in boards of Duel Mode. Bowser and his underlings usually stop by and cause trouble but it doesn't hinder the player's quest that much. It is not until Waluigi steals the final Stamp Star and forces the player to try and earn it back at Waluigi's Island. After that, the Millennium Star announces that the player has one final challenge before truly earning the title of "Superstar" and the player defeats him. However, the Millennium Star then reveals he isn't the real one and flies off into the distance. The player is disappointed, but soon, the real Millennium Star appears and gives the title of "Superstar" to the player and then the credits roll.
