This may have been done back in the day, but I'm starting it up nonetheless. The title is pretty self-explanatory. Out of all Mario Party games, which mini-game is your undisputed favorite?

I have quite a hard time deciding most of the time, so I choose Bumper Balls. Bumper Balls is a great mini-game that I think was only in the first two MP games.

I've only played the first, and I have to say... Bumper Balls, actually. I think there was another one that I liked more, but I can't recall it at the moment.

It's an awful feeling, getting knocked out early in Bumper Balls, don'tcha think?

Hmm, I don't remember any mini games from any MP game but MP4, but let's see... I really enjoy the explosion effect from Bowser's Bigger Blast, it cracks me and my friends up. You see them fly off, and then down in the foreground...
But in regular mini games, like the ones you play once a round, Dungeon Duos is the best. Especially if you have a turbo button.

Mushroom Mix Up / Hexagon Heat. It's hectic, and fun, and unlike Bumper Balls, it can't end in a draw: While I do enjoy Bumper Balls, I don't like how it ends in a draw about half the time.

I have only played the first three Mario Parties.

Honeycomb Havoc is best played with 4 people who understand the mathematics behind it. Ah hahaha.
Ya, I liked the concept to it quite a bit, but hated the way it was presented, aesthetically.

I know what you mean. I always count the number of different fruits and coins to see how many I have to take to eliminate someone else with the honeycomb. If you're not paying attention (or even if you are most of the time), you'll get the honeycomb and enjoy (or not) being chased by the bees after it falls in your basket.

I like, wow, I haven't play the game in about a month but I like the Cannon from Mario Party 5 where you shoot characters off their cannons! It's hilarious!

Skateboard Scamper for MP2 was awesome! I liked it because it was really the only button-tapping game I was ever good at. (I normally suck.) Long Claw of the Law in MP4 was pretty cool too.

Mario's Puzzle Party(MP3)
Whack-a-Plant(MP1)
I'll think of more later.

Now Mario Party 3 had some of my all-time classics!

Mario's Puzzle Party

Aces High

Snowball Summit

Pump, Pump and Away (my brother and his friend set the record on this one. Something like 440 yards.)

Thing I didn't like about Mario's Puzzle Party was that it was... too easy to make clears?

I did an experiment once. My friend played normally, I had two CPUs playing, and I set my controller down, left for the bathroom, and essentially let my blocks fall as they did when no one was playing. I won. It was kind of funny, really.

Well you lose only if the whole board is filled.
