Mario Party 4 (マリオパーティ) is the fourth installment in the Mario Party series and the first to be released for Nintendo GameCube. The game features eight playable characters from the Mario series, who can be directed on six themed game boards in the game. The objective of the game is to earn as many stars as possible, which are obtained by purchase from predefined space on the game board, or by bonuses. Each character's movement is determined by a roll of a die, with a roll from each player forming a single turn. Each turn in Mario Party 4 is followed by a mini-game, which is competed to earn money for the character, used to buy items and stars.
Problems
Distorted Text Boxes
The texture for the text backdrop will become heavily distorted if anisotropic filtering or "Force Texture Filtering" are enabled. This affects both Direct3D and OpenGL.
Audio
The music doesn't play correctly with DSP HLE. Use DSP LLE instead. Fixed in unknown revision.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
