6:47 - In this mini-game, do not look at individual ghosts but at your character standing in the middle - this way you will see all at once and you should easily recognize which of them moved first. At least that's what I did when I was still playing it and guessing every time.

[@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

I love how he knew aboit the lawsuit and still chose to play without a patented Mario Party Glove™

[@bachilles3285]

Actually, the cuts, blisters, and lacerations were due to the N64's defective stick being made of plastic. The grooves would often rub against the players' palms and thumbs after frequent use and scrape some of the skin off. This is why every console that used an analog stick since the PlayStation released the Dual Analog controller (and later the DualShock) would use hard rubber instead.

I definitely feel like they've changed Slot Car Derby for Superstars. I remember my strat way back in MP1 was to just regularly tap the stick on the curves, and that avoided all spinouts because the game's like 'oh, you're not at max speed, okay then', but in Superstars that doesn't seem to work anymore. But I guess that's to be expected with remastering, really.

[@NulienTia]

My method in the original was just to have a Rumble Pak in my controller, hold the stick all the way in whatever direction, and every time I felt a rumble I'd let go of the stick for just an instant, then immediately hold it all the way again.

The last time I played Mario Party 1 was way back in 2007 on an emulator. Soon after trying it, I was not into the rotation minigames. I got some "experience" in recent time through Mario Party Superstars; Yoshi's Tropical Island is one of my favorite boards, although Peach's Birthday Cake isn't shabby. There are also several remastered minigames. I fear that neither will prepare me for the _real_ test in Mario Party 1 itself. Whenever I can renew the Nintendo Switch Online, I'll step up to the challenge of playing the very first Mario Party. It will be my 101st Mario game. Entertaining stuff, Alpharad.
