Players now travel around the board in one vehicle. Minigames have more focus then previous titles. A player can play in solo mode to unlock the final stage and two additional characters. There are a total of 12 playable characters in the game after unlocking the additional 2. There are 82 minigames in Mario Party 9, divided into five categories: Free-for-all, 1-vs.-Rivals, Bowser Jr., Boss Battle, and Extra. At the end of each stage, the number of Mini Stars (bananas in "DK's Jungle Ruins") the player collects is converted into Party Points, which can be used to buy new stages, constellations, vehicles, difficulties, and sounds in the museum. Many critics complained about the lack of originality and the lack of online multiplayer in the game. Despite this, the game as sold 2.41 million copies since its release.
