Alright folks. Mario Party 9 is all upons. So I decided I would take a look back at all the previous Mario Parties and ask the nice people of the Fungi Forums their favorite mini-games from each game in the series. I'll start with the 4-player games, move through each game (1-8 and DS) and then move onto the other categories such as 2-vs.-2 and 1-vs.3. Once the poll sorta dies down I'll open up the next one. So go forth and vote my lovelies.
Note:
The following mini-games re-appeared in Mario Party 2 with expanded or altered rules...
Bombs Away - Adds Bullet Bills into the mix along with one final Bowser missile.
Bumper Balls - Has three different arenas, including a slippery ice stage.
Mushroom Mix-Up - Renamed "Hexagon Heat".
Hot Rope Jump - Due to the "losers pay winners" rule being removed, the game lasts until all but one player are eliminated.
Platform Peril - Introduced a number of new types of platforms.
