Mario Party 5

Mario Party 5 is the fifth installment in the Mario Party series. The game is set in the fictional world of the Dream Depot, consisting of seven game boards. The single-player "Story" mode involves the player winning multiple games against the Koopa Kids to prevent Bowser from conquering the Dream Depot. The main multiplayer game mode consists of four characters from Mario series playing a board game, with each board having a set theme. The game also features several minigames, which are played after every set of turns. Mario Party 5 introduces the "Super Duel" mode to the franchise, which requires players to assemble and control custom made battle vehicles which can be used in combat against other machines. The game features ten playable characters, with playable debuts to the series from Toad, Boo, and Koopa Kid.

Sprite Alignment Issues
Minor sprite alignment issues occur if either Force Texture Filtering or Anisotropic Filtering are enabled. OpenGL at 1x Native Internal Resolution can also exhibit similar problems, but even more minor. Avoid these and it will be fine.

Pushy Penguins Flicker
With XFB set to anything but Real, the Pushy Penguins minigame will have flickering issues.

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix
The built-in Widescreen Hack causes board clipping and buggy reflections. The following Gecko code works as a replacement, causing less issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using this code.
