MC Ballyhoo needs to be purged from existence.

I second that statement.

Best: Yoshi's Island

Worst: Yoshi's Story. Am I the only person who really liked SMS?

Best: No vote. Too many good ones, and I could never decide between SMB3 and SMW.

Worst: Mario Is Missing!. Why are you people saying SMS is worse than this piece of garbage? (I liked SMS.)

I honestly don't think that the spin-offs or half-games like Mario is Missing should be legit options. I mean, EVERYONE would vote for those. For everything.

Except they all qualify because they're on a console. Not all the spin-offs are that terrible. Some Mario Parties are better than others, and Mario Kart always has good staying power, but they shouldn't all be thrown at the bottom because of their status. Despite the flaws in SMS, I would say it is at least an order of magnitude better than something like Hotel Mario or Yoshi.

They should qualify, but you can't judge them all by the exact same standard. Personally, I think Mario is Missing does a better job of being interesting and educational than Sunshine does of living up to and expanding on SM64's legacy.

Well, I liked it. I just found that having to wash paint off of everything detracted from the awesome platforming challenge and gigantic worlds.

Since no one's mentioned it: Yoshi Topsy-Turvy. I never played it, but I've heard it was... yeah.

YTT wasn't a console game, was it? And MC Ballyhoo, IMO, is not quite as annoying as Brighton/Twila, the MP4 hosts, or even Toadsworth in MP7, for that matter.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2009, 03:16:49 PM »

Oh yeah, Brighton and Twila are godawful hosts. Pretty much every host besides Toad sucks.

I liked Tumble and the Millennium Star. The Star Spirits and Toadsworth deserve props for actually being from other Mario games. Brighton and Twila were more original and a lot less grating than Ballyhoo, by far. At least they didn't have poorly-acted voices.

I kind of like the day-night mechanic, but MP6's alleged "plot" eats brain cells for breakfast.

"Brighton and Twila, the sun and the moon, have always hosted the party."

First of all, if Brighton is the sun, why is Mario helping him out? Didn't the sun, like, wanna kill him in SMB3?

Second of all, no they haven't. Hudson apparently forgot about Toad, The Star Spirits, Millennium Star/Tumble, and the generic enemies.

"I know, let's play Mario Party to solve their feud!"

How will that solve anything? What they need is some anger management or counseling. ANYTHING would've been better than playing a board game. Talk about extremely awkward.

And board games usually induce anger.

Best:SMW

Worst: Super Mario Sunshine. Like the others, I believe that the NPCs stunk.
