You can play with 1-4 players in Mario Party mode, where the computer fills in the gaps, so if you have 3 players, you'd play against one computer opponent. There's also a separate 2 vs. 2 team mode that uses the same maps as the main party game, but it plays very differently. In this mode, rather than moving in a set path like you do in classic Mario Party, you can move wherever you want like in a grid-based strategy game. Your dice rolls are added to your partner's rolls and you team up to play 2 vs. 2 minigames after each turn. Me and my wife have played a couple rounds of this and its a nice addition to the classic formula.
