Well if the game is saved every turn it isn't so bad. I know I'd reset each time at Faire Square in MP6 so that the game would give a star for only 5 coins when playing solo. (You have to use the mic in order to influence the number, but it "only" has a chance of doing the one you want about 80% of the time)

For some reason, I really like Mario Party 3, 4, 1, 8, and 7.

I want to try to get a vote or a decision on the best qualities of each game and overall.
The best minigame selection, best item selection, best boards, best character handing out stars, best side-options, best music, and MOOOOORE!!

 

[Feocart]

Wow, this is kind of dead.

Anyways, I find Mario Party 5 the best, one of the few that had Koopa Kid in it.

☆ I just love E.Gadd Garage. =3 ☆

On E. Gadd's Garage, I always got a ton of yellow orbs. I owned the entire bottom row before, it was funny.

I MP9 comes, they need more 1 vs 3. There's only about 9 in MP8. IDK about everyone else, but I know I wouldn't mind seeing rehashes of old minigames. Some of them were really fun.

^E. Gadd's Garage
Transporters FTW

I find Mario Party 5 the worst in terms of the main "party mode" section. I enjoyed the Super-Duel-Mode and mini-games, but the maps, item system, and non-playable DK made this game hard for me to accept.

I find that Mario Party 3 has the best item selection and use of happening spaces. Mario Party 4 has the best boards (including board secrets). Character selection goes to Mario Party 8, obviously. Best mini-games? That's up to debate. I didn't mind shredding the skin on my hand in the original Mario Party, that's where it gets intense!

 

[Segtendo]

1 + 2 for best mini-games.

 

[rockem7]

Has there been any word if they're going to create a Mario Party 9?

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

No word as of right now, which is kind of irritating.

 

[rockem7]

I'm kind of thinking that they might not make another one. Of course, I have no source or anything but it's been quite a while since MP8 came out. Hasn't it been about two years?

 

[Lord Viper]

★ As long as people is currently thinking that the next Mario Party is just to milk money, I don't think it's going last very long. I guess that's why there hasn't been a Mario Party for a while. ♛

 

[Sage1400]

I really liked all of the mario parties, except 8 on the wii kinda brought basic games back. I never really played the gba and ds ones either.

 

[The Fail Tracer]

Mario Party for GBA? What?

I liked all the N64 Mario Parties, plus MP4... Just like OP.

*Goes to check out MPGBA*

 

[Sage1400]

If they make mp9, it's a necessity that it has wifi. Although playing a 50turn board without someone d/cing would be kinda difficult.

They better have like 200 of each category of games lol

 

[SuperMetroid44]

Wi-Fi just might be too hard. Mario Party is especially known by kids, I can just imagine some would rage-quit or something similar. It would be nice, but it always goes back to that when I think of Wi-Fi. But otherwise, it would be great to play with other people in the world.

I love the Mario Party series, been a big fan since I was a kid, my favorite is Mario Party 3; packed with nostalgia and great boards/mini-games. Of course, I didn't love all the mini-games (Bowser Toss FTL lol ) but it's still a great game. I hope they put it on the Virtual Console soon.

 

[Sage1400]

its just that sadly, games need multiplayer/wifi to be good these days, so making MP go online would help it out lots

 

[yoshi8984]

I love the Mario Party series as well. Mario Party 6 was the best one in my opinion. It had great music, great mini-games, great boards and I liked the concept of the item system. I loved the day and night system. I didn't like how Mario Party 7 downgraded some of the orbs(like the Zap Orb and Warp Pipe) and I hated the Bowser Time thing. I liked Mario Party 3 as well. Wi-fi could work with friends, but worldwide; maybe only mini-games because people would just ragequit... Mario Party 8 and Mario Party Advance were the worst...

Not trying to advertise, but news about Mario Party 9 is here. I saw it on the live E3 coverage.

 

[Lord Viper]

From the trailer, Shy Guy, Koopa, and I think Bowser Jr. will be playable. The mini games look fun this time. =D ★

 

[Ganon444]

I've only played the gamecube gMes,8 and 2, along with DS...6 was the best, 5 was the worst

 

[Yink]

So about MP1 having really unfair 1v3 games. I mean, I know 1v3 is pretty unfair in general but, let's just think about MP1 here.

 

[Patinator]

Wait... there's gonna be a Mario Party 9? Well JEEZ it's about time! Mario Party 8 was like four years ago, and it wasn't very good.

 

[DMG]

To be fair, a lot of Mario parties have those mini games that one side is basically guaranteed to win.

Mario Party 1: Pirahna Skamper (or whatever it's called, where you skateboard away). The single person should always win because the Pirahna can never catch up to you regardless how hard they try.

Mario Party 2: Shock Drop Roll. The single person should always lose. Just keep jumping and you can reset your position regardless which direction he rolls you.

As far as BS awards and penalties, hands down Mario Party 1 takes the cake though. Don't get me started on the crane game, or how losing most 1 v 3 games means you pay out 15 coins rofl

 

[Mr. Doom]

Dunno if you guys already heard, but Mr. Doom and some of the Wichita folks are doing "Let's Play"s of pretty much all the Mario Party boards. You can check that out here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9EC8CEEF89301963

Remember, the players are real! The salt wounds are real! The results are final. Mario Party T.V.

 

[pidgezero_one]

I've only played 1, 4, and 8

so far 1 is my favourite, probably because of the nostalgia but it was thoroughly a ridiculous game

 

[Lord Viper]

6 is still my favorite, the day and night gimmick makes me play MP6 more. I would like MP7 but over half of the boards I really hate. )=< ★

My favorites of the series is 2,3,4,6, and somewhat 7. ★

 

[Mr. Doom]

Here's my tier list for Mario Party.

High Tier
1. 3 (Strategically the best one)
2. 7 (Disregarding my magical BS on this game...)
3. 6 (Disregarding my magical BS on this game...)

Mid Tier
4. 8 (The minigames are great, but the controls for them suck.)
5. 2 (A copy of 1, but without Bowser's BS)

Low Tier
6. 4 (Ultimate Randomness.)
7. 5 (Bad mini-games and boards. It would be bottom tier if it weren't for something in MP1.)
8. 1 (There's a board on this map that directly counters me. Not to mention Bowser's BS and the minigames that require the rotation of the control stick.)

 

[Wizzrobe]

I loved the first 3 and I also enjoy some of the GC ones. I loved the platforming minigames.

 

[Orboknown]

the n64 ones were cool.

Eh, 3 is debatable. It really REALLY depends on the map, because there are certain maps that are endgame hell. The desert and the Snowland for example can be extremely dumb because they have looping access to the item shop. Other maps don't have that problem, and they tend to be fine. Although I'm not a fan of the Cavern either cause I feel they didn't make it varied enough. Just made it two sides with limited access to either way.

As far as Minigames go though, 3 has some of the fairest minigames out there. I think the start of real minigame balance happened in 3 compared to the previous two.

6 and 7 were fine. Not a great fan of them, but mostly because MP3 exists. I ****in love that one.

4 was GARBAGE lmfao. Thank you. 8 was a little janky I agree, kinda hard though using Wiimote for ****.

2 was pretty solid. I like that one the most after 3, if only for the costumes and for Haunted Land/Space Map. However, the hidden block ratio in this game can be incredibly ********. I've seen way too many games get early hidden blocks and just steamroll the rest of the game. Where as MP3 evens this out by adding items to hidden blocks, making later blocks not as guaranteed of coins and stars. However, this one also has some of the MP1 minigames but just tweaked. A few of them are auto lose/auto win by the right side, which is pretty gay but a part of the game. Without the minuses of MP1.

MP1 was fun but it's also very dominating. If you are a player that grinds out an advantage, you tend to dominate this game. The maps are also fairly small, something they remedied in later games.

Was MP5 the Mario Party that came up with the Mic mini games? Cause I remember that stupid ****.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I do believe MP6 was the first to come with those Mic mini-games, but I highly doubt this one was stupid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TVC2fRPoSQ&t=12m4s

MP5 introduced the orbs, but during the last five turns of the game, Bowser could possibly turn every space into an orb-fest, so it gets really random.

 

[DMG]

Ok yeah you're right. I remember the orbs, lanching them forward and backward and ****.

 

[yoshi8984]

I f***ing love Mario Party 6 to death MP5 introduced Capsules, not orbs. They are different things, y'know =P I'm such a MP6 nerd that I know the set star locations on E.Gadd's Garage and Towering Treetop and the orbs available on each board. For me, it'd go like this: 6, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5&7, 8 (5&7 are tied for that position, I'm not too fond of them)

 

[Horizont]

Mario Party 3 ftw! Snowball Summit and MPIQ are my favorites!

 

[Mr. Doom]

Orbs. Capsules. Same difference, right? >_>

Mario Party 3 ftw! Snowball Summit and MPIQ are my favorites!

MPIQ got real lame when I first LP'd it with my friends. It's like one of those "Agree to draw" games.

 

[yani_]

I'm shockingly excited for mario party 9, it's been awhile.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I've liked all the Mario Party games I've played until 7 (never played Advance, DS or even 8)

But the first five have to be the best, in my opinion

 

[Jakor]

I used to really like the games, but I kinda got bored after the 4th... But I still keep a look on each new entry.

 

[Yoshi]

I like Mario Party, a lot, and cool to hear MP9 is coming out. But I really want to see a revamped version of Super Duel Mode from MP5, that was very unique!
