50 free Mario Party trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Mario Party has been testing friendships since 1998. What began on the Nintendo 64 as a virtual tabletop contest stitched together with frantic minigames has become one of Nintendo's longest-running series, with entries on nearly every console and handheld since. This quiz covers the whole run: the hosts and stories of the numbered entries, the minigames players still argue about, and the items and spaces that can flip a match on the final turn. It gives extra room to Mario Party 3 and its duels, to the single-player oddity Mario Party Advance, and to Birdo, from her playable debut to the questions she asks in Super Mario Party. It is written for anyone who has ever lost a lead on the last roll, with easier questions up front and a few deep cuts for players who know every corner of the series.
