Title: Best (I mean, least bad) Mario Party
Post by: BP on September 28, 2005, 09:20:43 PM

I've never played #1
#2 had a very limited character selection.
#3 had the board where you have the monsters to protect you.
#4 is the only one I own...
#5 looked to stupid for me to buy.
#6: same as 5.

Tie between 3 & 4. How about you?

I can talk English more better than you.

1 and 2 were awesome. 3-6 were good, but could have used other Mini-games. Ones that had nothing to do with cleaning.......

I've only played the first one.  It was good (as in not bad).  I liked the intro music, which is strange because I usually don't go for the programatic stuff.

MP1 is, in my mind, the best of the series. I mean, the later games made changes to the first game that I thought only orsened the games. That's just me, though. I've only seriously played the first three.

In my opinion, #4 was by far the best.  It had awesome items, lottery shop, and crazy-fun mini-games.  I loved it, and I'm still looking for it because I don't own it.

My order:
#4
#1
#2
#3
#5

(Haven't played 6 yet)

I've played them all. A LOT. And now I'm a seasoned, grizzled Mario Party veteran. People are too scared to play against me 'cause I pwn them. Anyway, I think they're all decent. Not spectacular, but definately not bad like many people think. The sixth is cool because of the microphone, but I like 4 the best.

And don't play multiplayer with me, 'cause I'll pwn you.

We'll see about that!  Everbody 'round here call me the Mario Party Pwner King!  Ha!  Ha!  Actually you probably would beat me.  But I bet we would tie in a lot of stuff.

I wish people would stop insulting MP because the games are very fun if you play them long enough (but of course everyone can have an opinion).  MP3 didn't seem to great at first until I played it long enough.  Then it got really fun.  Especially Tick Tock Hop where I used to controllers to get 2 characters all the way to 99 jumps (but I did use a turbo controller).

My thoughts-
MP3 (pro: can move faster, three items, duel boards and neat 2v2, Battle games and puzzle games, Con: Game Guy)
MP4 (pro: DK's last MP game, great mini-games, 1-player games, retro pipe sounds. Con: kind of slow movement
MP5 (pro: has some of my favorite music, pay to use items, put items where you want them, fight people in machine you build, realistic mini board game. Con: irritating duel boards with the "Koopa Kids")
MP2 (pro: no rotating control stick, a few really fun games like Shock, Drop, or Roll and Shell Shocked, old games made better, intro to using items, duel game intro, item game intro, last mini-game island. Con: old games made harder, chance time)
MP1 (pro: team work games, mini-game island, con: rotating control stick)

I have more cons but I can't think of them right now (because I'm an optimist!).  May never play 6 because it's not at my rental store.



And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Unfortunetly, I own and've played them all. The series kinda went downhill after Mario Party 4. I'd list pros and cons as well, but it might turn out too simaliar to yoshisaurus rex's. That wont stop me from getting Mario Party 7, though. I'm still hooked on Mario Party no matter what.

In my opinion both 3 and 4 are tied for best Mario Party game. 1,2, and 6 are ok but 5 totally sucked, due to the horrific story mode, and the loss of DK as a playable character.

Post by: NintendoExpert89 on October 03, 2005, 05:40:13 PM

Mario Party 4 was definately the best one. I saw it as a new, refreshing experience as it was the first MP on the Gamecube, with improved graphics and sounds. I loved its subquest to get all the presents. I think that MP5 was the worst because its story line and mode sucked, and there wasn't many really fun things to do in it. The Super-Duel mode was interesting at first, but became incredibly boring. I do not believe this is the one you should play by yourself. MP5 made me lose interest in the MP games following it, so I have no plans to buy 6 and 7.

Post by: Yoshisaurus Rex on November 04, 2005, 09:55:09 PM

Hey, guess what?  I went to a new friend's house and found out that he had Mario Party 6, and then when I played it a little bit and talked about it, he let me borrow it!  Yay!  I thought I would never get a chance to play that game.

When I first started playing, I was having the best time ever and laughing more than most Mario haters would find necessary.  Part of the reason I'm having so much fun is because I've been drowning in school work and had almost no time for video games.  But now that I have more time I can party with Mario again!  Woo-hoo!

Maybe I'm just going a little nuts here, but this is very fun.  Out of the few mini-games I got my hands on, they were a blast and actually felt different from most MP games.  Snow Whirled is a good one, but I'm finding some really cool 1-vs-3 games that are my favorites so far.

However, I can't help but feel ripped off because of confusing advertising.  The day and night feature sounded like a special thing that worked with real time (like in Animal Crossing, which I really need to play) but it was just a turn-based thing. (3 I>:O}I+(  And the fact that items were pretty much free now also hit a bad chord (H# I believe).

But you really gotta try the microphone games because they're funner den fun.  Especially the ones where you run and dodge obstacles.  Something about them just makes me feel like a kid who finds your everyday thing an adventure.  And something funny happened during one of the talking mini-games.  I was playing that one game with the machine that you drive and fire deadly weapons at 3 people.  When I had tried everything in the list I decided to be a little creative and experimented with my own words.  So with a grin I quietly said "poop!" and then got super freaked out when the top of the machine opened and these brown things came flying out. @_@ Thankfully they were just Goombas, and the "oo" must have triggered that.

Speaking of strange, it feels weird when I think of an idea for a MP mini-game and then see something much like it show up.  Like one time I thought of a 1-on-3 game that has the 1 standing on a giant fire-breathing statue of Bowser and 3 on a platform that surrounds it, and that guy has to try and burn everyone off.  Then something like it is in MP5.  And another time, I picture a 2-on-2 game where one person sits in a cannon while the other pumps it up with air (like your typical air-pumping game).  Then they get launched into the air, grab coins, and come back down to switch places.  In MP6, Cashapult looks somewhat like that.  Not too much but a little.

You know, what Mario Party really needs is a Chance option in the menu that lets you turn on and off certain games, items, etc that are more based on luck and then talent would actually benefit you all the way!  Think of that.  Or if not that, there should be a "Worst Luck" star awarded to most ripped off person at the end of a board.  I wouldn't even care if people laughed at me for that.

As a final note, I am beginning to wonder if MP5 wasn't that great after all.  It seemed like mmany of the games were bland and the boards have a weird feeling to them.  But I still like most of that game.

Final final note, when I lost a Bowser mini-game I just heard him say, "I've eaten Goomba jerky that tougher than you!"  Now I'm getting worried about Bowser's diets.

As an owner of MP6, I should warn you. If you play it too much, it sucks the fun out of the game. It's a blast at first, but it's easy to beat it. My recommendation:save it for some good times with other party animals.

Title: Re: Best (I mean, least bad) Mario Party
Post by: Mr. Wiggles on November 05, 2005, 10:24:21 PM

I still regard Mario Party 3 to be the best one in the series. I haven't played 1 or 2 yet so I can't comment on that. 4 sucked royally compared to 3. 5 was slightly better but still not close to the greatness of 3. 6 I can't remember too much so I put it inbetween 4 and 5. Advanced was very lackluster but it did have some good remixes.

Post by: Bigluigifan1.0 on November 05, 2005, 11:01:13 PM

What they needed in MPA is a Multi-player for the board, but it still came with the paper board so you can play some-what of the normal Mario Party.

Post by: Yoshisaurus Rex on December 10, 2005, 12:08:37 AM

My official results for Mario Party 6 after playing all of the mini-games... I love this game!  It has more action games and I love those.  One board is pretty unique because you start out with 5 stars and try to steal others (but Fair Square is my favorite!).  Block Star... the funnest puzzle game I have ever played (that will probably change if I get a chance to play Meteos).  Less chance games is good too.  I don't know where to put this game on my list but at least 2nd place.

Still, the 1-player mode is the worst I've seen so far.  I hope that I can unlock something cool that makes up for it (don't spoil anything for me if there is or isn't).  And the Miracle spaces have to go now before I shoot myself.  Or at least have the option to remove them from boards.  No, let's take out almost everything that has to do with luck so I can finally play fair and square without worrying about losing everything in a short amount of time.  I go for that.  Or at least a Bonus Star for the Unluckiest Player to make people feel better.

I may not ever play 7, but I look forward to the Revolution party and expect some great new things.  Like... a pizza eating mini-game!  Grab pieces as fast as you can by jerking the controller and then take drinks of Kerokero Cola when your mouth gets full.  Whoever wins gets to hear their character belch!  Man, I must be getting tired or something.

You all just don't like Mario Party.

It's a good series. Fun by yourself or with others.

It's overused too much? Look there are more Final Fantasy games than Mario Party. A lot of people like Final Fantasy. (Including Me.)

Post by: Tingrio on December 11, 2005, 01:12:07 PM

The best Mario Party I've played is number seven due to the two hidden characters, the eight player mode, more microphone games and those good old mini games. That's the new one though.
For the other Mario party picks, I'd pick numbers five and six. Number five becuase of the super duel mode which I played constantly. Number six because of the day and night modes and the start of the Gamecube microphone.

Post by: BP on December 11, 2005, 10:46:02 PM

Yeah... Most of the people who posted here said 3 & 4 were the best 2. It's like this: From Mario Party to Mario Party 3, the features got better. From MP3 to MP4, it sort of stayed the same. Then it's all downhill from there. (Actually, I'm sure I'd like MP5-7, but I'd rather spend my money and Christmas List space on DS games)

What do you guys think would make the perfect Mario Party game?  Like items, mini-games, boards, etc.?  I konw Nintendo could really spice it up a lot but it seems like they're holding back sometimes.

Speaking of Mario Party, I have a surprise for you.  Very soon I plan to host a Mario Party board game at TMK and whoever wants to join it can!  But only the first 6 people can play for awhile so get ready.  I already typed the rules on Word for quick copy-paste and just need to quickly draw a board on paper, scan it, and then upload it to the site and we'll be ready to party.  Does anyone have any ideas for boards and spaces? 

Now that I revealed this to you I would appreciate it if no one tried to steal my idea because I worked pretty hard on this plan.  And I do have a method for rolling dice (but not mini-games or items yet) so it should work!

Alright, there's one person!  You can't really choose characters in this version, Aarom11, but you can imagine that if you want.  Or... you can make some kind of flash animation for every turn you do. ;)

I'm trying to get a blueprint idea for a board and it's very difficult to find one I'm happy with.  Anyone feel free to try for yourselves.  Just make sure that if you fill in the spaces that you only have red, blue, ?, and Bowser spaces (because that's all I'm working on right now).  Rats, this is harder than I thought!

If you're referring to my TMK Mario Party game, I agree that's a good idea and that I also would like to do.  I do plan on having some items in the game but right now I don't know about orbs you throw on the board.  The fun little things like that require me to keep track of more and more details and I don't how if I can handle too much.  But we'll see what happens.  I might send a scan of my board draft tomorrow so you can tell me what you think.

Post by: Yoshisaurus Rex on December 22, 2005, 04:13:25 PM

Okay!  You guys ready to see my draft of the board?  I finally scanned it so now you can tell me how ugly it is.  And don't mind all the faint marks behind it because that's just stuff I erased when I didn't like it.  The board has no spaces on it now--just the paths for the spaces-- but if enough people like the draft I can quickly and painlessly trace the board, add the spaces, and then scan it and upload it here.  Otherwise I'll add/subtract things and try again.  But I would just like to start the game so we have something to improve later. 

Few more final notes.  The left oval will have an item store that is farther away from the exit of the oval.  The right circle makes you go around forever until you land on a ? space and go somewhere else (but there's enough of them to get you out soon).  Now behold... the monstrosity that is my board!

1 was OK, but it was amost impossible to play without shedding some of your skin. 2 was really fun. 3 ticked me off because Millennium Star kept laughing at me. 4 was OK, too. 5 was pretty good, it probably would place silver next to MP2.

Yes to both.  I won't force you to play if you don't want to (how could I in the first place?) and I want to see all ideas before I choose the right board and start the game (but, like I always say, only show the board if you want to).  I just hope that enough people will want to play and that I can start it in time before my Christmas break is over.  But if it doesn't happen... there's always summer.  Or never.  I can live with that.

Every time I see the words Y_Rex I can't help but see some kind of strange face in the Y_R.

It's kind of funny, instead of Bowser, for my Peanuts board, since no one in that universe is truly evil, I used Dogkiller, a crazy character that my brother created.  if I ever get a scanner or something, I will place that picture on here.
