Mario Universe Mario Party

[Segtendo]

I hate any of the Bowser games in MP4 except Fruits of Doom. Bowser is so lazy haha, I don't think it really matters what fruit you give him on the first like, 4 turns.

I almost always hit the Bowser logo in Darts of Doom, and I just hate Balloon of Doom because I would always get nervous and accidentally blow it up too much and then it'd blow up.

I did however enjoy most of MP4's mini-games. I think my favorite was and still is Trace Race.

Bowser games were fun in MP4. The Fruit one was awesome. Trace Race was also awesome, but when my brother and I play Double Vision in MPDS, we draw random and sometimes inappropriate things. It's so funny.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I've always hated Bowser's Big Blast. They had to remake it in MP4 X_x

I hated it too, since it had no strategy whatsoever.

Anyway, Face away is called Look Away in my cart. Go Fig.
Anyway, Look away was pretty funny.

DK looked and danced funny in Move to the Music.

 

[UberMario]

It's called Look Away for me too.

☆ Opposite feeling for me. I always loved it when someone blows up in that mini game. XD ☆

☆ Bowser's Lovely Lift is strangely my favorite mini games. Mario Party 7 has a good amount of mini games I like, just that the boards I didn't like so much. x_x ☆

 

[Shök]

I think we could all agree that it would be perfect if Mario Party 9 had online capabilities.

 

[UberMario]

Only if dc'ing is punished and an ai gets subbed in when it does occur, plus a mini-game only mode.

 

[Segtendo]

I liked the 8-player games in MP7. Mic games=eww.

 

[Lord Viper]

I think we could all agree that it would be perfect if Mario Party 9 had online capabilities.

☆ Hmm, I think online for Mario Party would only fit for Mini games and not the board, it would take too long to complete while being online. ☆

Only if dc'ing is punished and an ai gets subbed in when it does occur, plus a mini-game only mode.

☆ I guess that could work to. =P ☆

I liked the 8-player games in MP7. Mic games=eww.

☆ I kind of liked the Mic mini games, just not the 4-player mini game but the 1 vs 3 one. ☆

Excuse me for being a noob, but what's dc'ing?

MP7 needed more boards, otherwise it'd be my favorite.

It means disconnecting. I also hope that MP9 includes online or at least has SOME upgrade instead of just new minigames.

 

[DMG]

Chance Time is **** and I LOVE IT actually naw screw chance time.

Sounds like a solid idea, but what I don't want to see is...well let's see what you guys think of this:

Okay I played MP the day it came out...and from then on it's still my favorite MP simply because, well...it's simple! You've got the obvious "blue is good, red is bad" "Oh no, chance time is luck" "What does this ? do?" ... it's pretty simple really. (8 different spaces, counting one for where the star would land IIRC)

MP2 upgraded a little with the worlds, the outfits, duel spaces/item spaces...there were 10 different spaces to land on in that game I think.

MP3 was still okay, getting a little more complicated.

But now let me just jump ahead to MP8... I don't know much about it either but I think there were 6 boards, 9 spaces and then a bunch of "candies" (14 of them I believe). That was a ridiculous rant but I felt like when I saw MP8 it was really complicated. I'm probably wrong though. (it had other problems too but, meh)

 

[Segtendo]

Original items are where it's at. Capsules/candy=no.
I didn't like MP8. I found it boring. MP2 is my fave because of the costumes and the fun mini-games.

 

[DMG]

Costumes were legit. Mario Party 3 had the shot of being super legit if they let the partners onto the bigger better maps like Waluigi's Island.

 

[Bowser King]

I actually liked the concept of shops over random items. I'm glad they brought them back in MPDS. Mainly because, as much as MP has to do with luck, it shouldn't become to dependent on luck. With stores, it rewards people who played well and allows for people to make decisions that will effect them later on.

 

[DMG]

Stores are OK, but they suck when you have really powerful items. There should never EVER be an item that allows you to teleport to a star, an item that destroys half the opponent's coins, an item that can take stars from opponents (besides stuff like Boo Bell)/if they land on that space they lose it, etc. If all you have is mushrooms/triple mushrooms/golden mushrooms, and maybe minor stuff like items that take 10-15 coins away or items that have you swap places with people or what not, then yeah shops are fine. Otherwise no.

I completely agree. Especially late game, when they get extremely annoying. With the correct fixes though, they would make a far more effective alternative to random items.

 

[Segtendo]

If MP9 exists, make it like the originals. I'd like to see stores, costumes, and some remastered mini-games.

Usually those items were 40/50/60+ coins IIRC? (not counting mystery bag and such). I don't think they screwed up/unbalance the game... that's what I remember from MP3. I really liked its items, especially the cellphones

 

[DMG]

No a lot of items you could get for like 30. Like spend 30 on the item, teleport to star. Spend 20-30, ruin half their coins. I can't recall an item that was more than 50. Actually not sure what was 50 coins either.

 

[Morrigan]

Yeah I kinda was doubting. *googles*

Yeah, things were mad cheap LOL.

 

[DMG]

Yeah Duel Glove. Being able to Duel someone on command for only 10 coins is kinda broken.

 

[Morrigan]

Yes but remember you're not the only one playing, as easy as you can get those items, so can the other players.

 

[UberMario]

Reverse Mushroom was awesome, you could abuse it in MP3 at Chilly Waters to use Boo 3 times in a row.

 

[Segtendo]

Yea, items are mad cheap in MP3.

 

[Nyr]

Mario party is too good.

Takes zero luck, only skill.

 

[DMG]

Ah, but Dekuu you also have to remember that only toad sells it. That and if you duel someone and win, they are gonna have to get some more coins to try and duel you again if they want to even think about breaking even.

 

[NathaN 17]

I liked Mario Party 5 the best. The minigames were crazy.

 

[Patinator]

I've played MP1, MP2, MP7, and MP8. ...I really prefer the first two. -.- MP8 is probably the least favorite game I own... I don't particularly know why, but I just don't like it. :/

 

[DMG]

MP8 has more duel minigames than 4 player minigames

That's why it blows balls

Honestly the best ones are probably 1, 2, and 3. Past 4 you had them take the game and warp it around to whatever they thought would be a good idea like the Mic, Dueling, 1 player story mode, etc

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ It's hard to find the duel mini games that's not from a 4 player mini game in MP8, there are at least 5 or 7 that I like, I'll name them later. I think I said MP 6 was my favorite, I just love E.Gadd Garage. =3 ☆

 

[UberMario]

My two favorite boards from MP6 are Faire Square and Clockwork Castle. The former you can use a microphone cheat to (almost) always get 5 coins per star (plus they let you get as many stars as you can buy for [I think] 100 coins, or was it a max of 5 stars per trip?) so if you do a 50-round game you can get something crazy like 40 stars or more. Clockwork Castle was just extremely random. The direction of the board reversed at night and Bowser and DK took turns (between night and day) to roll their own dice blocks.

 

[Greenstreet]

Just had a games night with some mates and we pulled out Mario Party.

Preeeetty sure bumber balls is the greatest mini game ever invented :D

 

[darksamus77]

I love MP5, the bonus/extra games were great...I haven't played a MP game in a while, MP8 lost my interest quickly

 

[#HBC | J]

Mario Party 4 was my fav because of the volleyball game that was fun and getting all the presents.

I still haven't till this day sadly and one day I am gonna get them all.

I think after 5 when they introduced the Mic and stopped having a legit story mode....the series died a bit for me T~T

 

[Segtendo]

I love getting the little toys in MP4. I believe that is why it has replay value.

BTW, mic started in 6 and only lasted another game.

 

[#HBC | J]

yea 5 had the stars from paper mario. I liked this one. *no mic*

6 was the day and night *mic*

7 was the cruise. *mic*

I am really hoping (if they release another) MP9 is gonna be back to their roots a bit more.

 

[A2ZOMG]

lol at DMG acting as if Mario Party is competitive.

The only thing I really wish that they wouldn't do is make mini-games ENTIRELY BASED ON RANDOM CHANCE. Like seriously...those are just no fun at all and all you need to do is hit the A button until it's over. =/

And I disagree about DMG's stance on items. Items and shops are one of the better elements of the game, since they allow more reliable options for players. Mario Party is already insanely broken and unfair due to the way Dice is in general, and if someone can get randomly screwed over for free when you land on a Happening space, I really can't say it's unfair to get a free trip to the next Star for 30 coins, especially since the (somewhat) random placement of the Star can get pretty gay since it screws over people who chase the Star through Dice rolls. And it's still really gay for the person who actually got the star to consistently maintain a lead if other smart players are aware that the next star is always placed in a position that is very difficult for that person to reach.

Those items are really only unfair when your "competition" consists of casual video gamers that have no technical skill, since if you're constantly winning 99% of the mini games, you're pretty much going to be the only player getting the items you want consistently AND still have money to afford stars. And no person with half a brain will want to challenge you to a duel if you're the best player in the house unless they have absolutely nothing to lose.

 

[eman]

These games are purely amazing. Mario Party (1) will remain the best game ever! Trying to get all the stars with all of your friends is a blast. Its the perfect game if you want to have a party, lol. Depends on how many turns you put the game on. Ahh, the days of Mario Party are behind me. I need to bring them back :D

 

[pitskeyblade]

Mine is a love/hate relationship. After MP5, I lost interest in the series. I remember ragequitting so many times because of cheating CPUs that would take all my stars in one turn.
