                       Section 1: THE BASICS
                    Paragraph 1: HOW TO GET THERE 
   In Dream Depot, in order to get to Story Mode you have to go to the pink star. 
The words "Story Mode" will appear above her.
                      Paragraph 2: CHARACTERS
   Unlike other parts of the game, Toad, Boo and Koopa Kid are NOT available for 
playing in Story Mode. It is not because they are new to the Mario Party, but 
simply for two reasons. 1) Koopa Kid cannot be used because he is your rival, the 
one you are battling. 2) Toad cannot be used because he will help you in a problem. 
Example: You land on a VS. space and are against only two Koopa Kids, which would 
result in a 2-VS-2 minigame. Toad will be on your side in the minigame. So, you may 
choose Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Daisy or Waluigi.

                       Section 2: THE RULES
                     Paragraph 1: THE MAIN IDEA
   Your goal in Story Mode is to stop Bowser from ruining all of the dreams. You do 
so by dueling his Koopa Kids in an epic battle that will make you explode.
                     Paragraph 2: HOW TO DUEL
   You will all recieve 20 coins in the beginning. You will go first, and if you 
pass a Koopa Kid and/or land on one at any one time, you will both duel. Mecha Shy 
Guy appears. If YOU pass a Koopa Kid, you will lose only 5 coins if you lose the 
duel, and the Koopa Kid will lose 15 coins if he loses. But if a KOOPA KID passes 
you, you will lose 15 coins if you lose, and he will lose 5 coins if he loses. You 
will play a random duel minigame, 15 or 5 coins will be deducted from whoever lost 
the duel. If you tie, then no coins will be subtracted.
                     Paragraph 3: THE KOOPA KIDS
   There are 3 Koopa Kids: Red K.K., Green K.K., and Blue K.K. They all have 
separate coins . They are not exactly on a team, however, they are all part of The 
Real Koopa Kid. Once one has zero coins, he is out of the game for that board. If 
before 15 turns you can leave them all with no coins, then you win that board.
                     Paragraph 4: THE RANKINGS
   If you go to the Records Section for Story Mode, all the Story Mode characters 
will be displayed. There will be 5 stars above or under them, which will be green 
or black. A green star means that they completed part of Story Mode, and the more 
stars they have, the more complete they are. If you hit A on a character, you will 
see all the board names. There will be an A, B, C, D, or E above the board names. 
If there is no letter for a certain board, they have not yet completed that board. 
A is best, E is worst for ranks.
                     Paragraph 5: GAME ORDER
   First, you will have to complete four random-picked boards. After that, you will 
enter Bowser's board, which is the last board. Complete that board and you are 
ready for the ULTIMATE boss battle!
                Paragraph 6: THE ULTIMATE BOSS BATTLE
   When you first enter the stadium, little Bowser wind-ups will be tinkering 
around. You must jump on top of all of them before time runs out. Or you could 
throw them on the ground. But don't touch them when they are breathing fire, 
because you will lose a life and be stunned. After that, three heat rings in uproar 
swril around you. You must survive them by jumping in and out of them until the 
timer runs out. Then, Bowser loses his patience and pounds right into the stadium! 
Avoid running into him, and when he breathes fire stay far away. He will eventually 
jump and pound a tile (hopefully not you!) and put a crack in it. There must be 
three cracks in the SAME tile for him to fall. Then, he makes himself big, but 
falls through the floor! Unluckily, his arms and head are exposed! He will throw 
heated balls at you, which will cool when they land in the stadium. He will then 
breathe fire, which is when you need to jump over it! Pick up one of the now re-
heated balls and throw it at him! Do this five times to beat him.
                Paragraph 7: YOUR BATTLING REWARD!
   After all this hard work, what kind of idiot could expect nothing?! Your reward 
is the Bowser's Inferno Dream Board! (Which you had just played as your LAST 
board!)

                           DEDICATIONS!
   I would like to thank Nintendo for continuing to make the Mario Party games; I 
think they're great! Cheatcodes, you are an AMAZING website! I am sooooo glad I 
discovered you, not only for cheating, but for sharing my own cheats with those who 
don't understand. And thank YOU for reading this guide, which took about three 
years of researching to create!
