Title: Mario Party 5
Post by: Super Mario on December 28, 2003, 05:59:45 PM
Is it just me, or does it have a feel like the original Mario Party? Seems like the games are simpler... a lot of button mashing ones.

Also, for those who own it, what's your Pump n' Jump yard record?

Yay!  SM is back!  I agree on Mario Party5, it's a lot better than I would've expected.  Unfortuantely, I don't own it, or remember my record.

I''m the "trick" in "eccentric".

I have... some sort of fan...? Or.. someone that likes me? I feel so special and warm.

By the way, my Pump n' Jump record is 571. Beat that, aye! (I have this trick I do where my arm spasms and I can press the A button at incredible rates)

I rented it I can do 321 yards, but I have a friend who came over and did 743, seriously. In paper mario he would always get 100% on the attacks where you have to push a button repeatedly. Its crazy.

Or is it... *shifts eyes suspiciously*

I agree about MP5.  I'm a Mario Party addict so it doesn't take much to make me happy, but I was disappointed in MP4 and then was a bit suspicious when they came out with another one in what felt like record time.  But MP5 definitely rules.

Mm, I don't remember my record.  The game's on right now in my room, let me go check.

(1 minute later) 370.  Well, that kinda sucks.  Let's go see if I can do better--in party/story mode I only press as fast as I have to to win.

(6 minutes later)  439 now.  Better but still not great--I'm not very good at the A-pushing games.

How about Leaf Leap?  My record there is 150.  My favorite mini-game is 5-minute Piece Out, though--I have 115710 there.  Need to work on that.

That's quite a Piece Out record. What about Domination from MP4? I think my record was 111.

I have a 127 in Domination.  But I have yet to play the MP5 equivalent.

No, Todd Begin: Mario Party 4 <------- WORST MARIO GAME NEXT TO MARIO IS MISSING

I haven't played MP5 yet, but are there alot of button-mashing games? I hate those; not good at them and their not really entertaining.
Title: Re: Mario Party 5
Post by: Super Mario on December 31, 2003, 11:42:39 AM
Mm, not really. There is actually a game called "Button Mashers," where you have to mash multiple buttons in a random order or risk being crushed under some rocks; I had a hillarious time with it once I started using my chin to mash one of the buttons. XD


I honestly reccomend it. It's much better than Mario Party 4. The only drawback I see is that Luigi's voice is still sub-par, a mon avis.


Buy it, or... rent it. Just... play it.

I for one could care less how many MariO Party games they make. I enjoy the mini-games greatly. The mini-games in this one are incredible but the other modes are awesome too. The Ice Hockey and Beach Ball games are really fun, and Super Duel Mode? Spectacular!!! THis game is by far the best in the series yet. I think they should make a GCN Game called like "Mario Party: Mini-game Collection" or something and just make it a collection of all the mini-games from all the Mario Party games. That would be awesome.

I despise ignorant people.

That's a superb idea, Meowrik. They could carry over the Mini-Game decathalon, too, or Mini-Game wars. But it would be great even with just Mini-Games to choose from. Perhaps they could group them... button mashing games, memory games, marathon games, etc.


I also wish they would make like, "Super Mario Bros. Cubed," because... it's been too long since Mario and Luigi have been in a platform/adventure game on a major system (not discounting the GBA, of course) together. But that's been a fantasy for a while...

Who got defensive? You voiced your opinion, that MP5 was disappointing to you, and someone disagreed. How was that an attack on anyone's character? =/

I know MP4 was better than MP5 and I can use stats to prove that.  I see the label "BEST SELLER" on MP4!  Oh look at the label on MP5...wait, there isn't one!! HA!

Mario Party 4 really had the minigames goin' for it.  Almost every one was just super-fun, and there were even some beyond that.  Even the Bowser games were fantastic!  Plus, it had pretty good music.
...However, the item system was nothing remarkable, nor were the boards, and it was just plain stupid to take out the duels.

Mario Party 5 really excells in the items.  I mean, the capsule system was just what Mario Party needed:  now, the longer you play on a board, the more "interesting" things get.  The minigames can't compare with 4's, however; the maps are quite nice; the music's pretty unextraordinary; Super Duel mode could have been executed a whole lot better...

Every Mario Party game just has its pluses and its minuses...  Though I do think Mario Party 5 is up to snuff, just for the capsule system.

Go Moon!

If only Donkey Kong was playable it would be perfect.
Title: Re: Mario Party 5
Post by: Forest Guy on January 15, 2004, 08:58:10 PM
Yes. It has too many stupid mini-games like "Vicious Venders" Inn the next game I want the button mashing games limited to like one, and no random chance games like Vicious Venders. Oh, and DK is a playable character. Well, he is in Duel Mode.

I kind of like it better having Donkey Kong not playable. Nothing against him, it's just... he isn't, really, a "Mario" character, is he? Rare isn't even with Nintendo any longer.

DK is and always has been a Mario character. Just because he took on his own adventures doesn't exclude him from the Mario gang. Rare sold the DK Franchise and all its rights to Nintendo, so that should completely officialize DK as a Mario character.

I have to disagree. Judging by the storylines of the Mario platform/RPG games, Donkey Kong doesn't live in the Mushroom Kingdom and technically couldn't be there... but... they've swapped things around so much and combined so many separate 'worlds,' I can't ever win this argument, if it was an argument.


Thank you for pointing that out to me, Meowrik. I can look forward to DK games on the 'Cube in the future, hopefully.



So I guess I don't disagree. Whateva'.

leave DK alone, he was Mario's very first enemy!  And now he's forgottin
Title: Re: Mario Party 5
Post by: Super Mario on January 20, 2004, 07:18:56 PM
He isn't forgotten. He's in all their most recent games, they even got Diddy in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!


And Mario's first enemy wasn't DK, it was a lack of funding for that little card company, Nintendo. = D

"That's quite a Piece Out record. What about Domination from MP4? I think my record was 111."

Super Mario, check my "'Domination' Records for MP4" thread to see a lot of peoples' records. Revive it for me so I can add you. It's in General Mario Chat somewhere.

My record is officially 132 taps.

"Mario Party 5 <----HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT"

No, you mean HUGE IMPROVEMENT over Mario Party 4. The game just came out so it wouldn't have a best seller label. How could it be a big seller ir it didn't even come out yet?

That's right. Mario and company are in a place called "Dream Depot," hosted by the Star Spirits from Paper Mario, and so the boards are named "(inster topic) dream," as in, Toy Dream, Pirate Dream, etc.
