Title: Favorite Mario party Minigame.
Post by: Jman on February 18, 2006, 11:07:59 PM
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)

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.

Snowball Summit

I played that game at my Best-Buy a LOOOOOONG time ago.
The mini-game really rocked.

Mario Bandstand was a great minigame from the first one. All the best games come from the 1st and 2nd, mabey because they were new. Others I like include........

1. Running of the bulb.
2. Skateboard Scamper
3. Bash n' Cash
4. Bombsketball
5. Mushroom Mix-up
6. That floating island/ bomb minigame......


These games really bring back memories.

Now why were they stupid enough to make so many MPs ? One was completely enough

They should have stopped with three, because Mario Party 3's story mode was great.

I always liked Bobsled Run.
Title: Re: Favorite Mario party Minigame.
Post by: PaperMario on March 12, 2006, 12:43:49 PM
Let's see...I guess I'll choose some from each Mario Party game.
MP1: Bumper Balls/Bombs Away/Face Lift/ Bobsled Run
MP2: Skateboard Scamper/ Platform Peril/Hexagon Heat
MP3: Snowball Summit/ I forgot the title for this, but it's the one where you have to hit the blocks to find the Mushroom to knock everyone else off/ Another mini-game that I forgto the name of. In this one you run along these moving platforms while avoiding the fire.
MP4: The mini game where you go thru the book without getting sqished by the pages./ Avalanche!
MP5: Triple Jump/ Hotel Goomba
MP6: Lift Leapers/ Rocky Road/ Asteroad Rage/ Dunk Bros./Granite Getaway/ Verbal Assault ( Only if I'm the one in the battlecraft:) )
I could'nt come up with any for MP7....
Sorry for not remembering so many of these titles..I haven't played in a LONG time, so I'll probably edit these later with the real names.

I liked Running of the Bulb and Hexagon Heat.  Those were classics, and I ever got bored with them.

Post by: SushieBoy on July 10, 2006, 11:43:39 AM
the best minigames come from MP3, I loved snowball summit, toadstoll titan. But my favorite was the one in battle mode where you ahve to grab a key before anyone else and open a door to the next part. you could punch others and steal keys. I can't remember the name of it.(i lost my copy of MP3, but I belive it's still inside my house..)

You know, I can't remember the name of it either.  I haven't played any of my mario Party games in about a month.

That was called "Locked Out", and does in fact kick ass.

Others that do include "Countdown Pound" from 5, the one where you have to light 5 candles before your opponent from 6, and "Kart Wheeled" and "Jump, Man" in 7.
