As usual, this new installment to the Mario Party series comes with new mini-games, characters, and maps. Toad, Boo, and Koopa Kid are the new playable characters. In this game, Donkey Kong is only a playable character in Super Duel Mode once you unlock him. In party mode, he now shows up on new Donkey Kong squares and either gives you coins/stars or starts a Donkey Kong mini-game which involve collecting bananas for a pre-determined amount of coins.
