What Happens When You Say No to the Star in Mario Party? (1998 - 2024)

[@CyrusBlack198]

I love how Toad in 1 & 2 is like, “Oh, you *don’t* want the thing that lets you win the game? The thing that is *my* entire life purpose to give you? oK gOOdbYE!!!1!!”

[@CyrusBlack198]

Btw any1 know how to italicize text in comments?

[@guestb8389]

⁠@@CyrusBlack198 Surround the text you want italicized with __Underscores.__

[@stupidvideogameclips]

*Maybe by putting one asterisk at the start and one at the end?*

[@stupidvideogameclips]

**Two, not one, it seems.**

[@stupidvideogameclips]

=Equals signs like how you would redtext on 8kun?=

[@Yoshiabel5555_xd]

"Well, good bye," is the best phrase anyone could say to me when refusing to buy a star. Toad in MP1 is like, "You don't want it? Well, I don't care." Xd

[@pundauoun]

Used to be along the lines of "Ok bye!" or "What?" now it's just guilt tripping lol then it went back to "ok".

[@Karson05]

If you say no to Koopa Kid in Neon Heights, he'll say "Don't want it, huh? Hey, who am I to argue? Come back whenever."

[@viniciusgmachado1204]

And, if you say “no” to Baby Bowser in Eternal Star, he’ll say, “Gutless _wimp!_ *Get lost!”*

[@MateoYouTube]

Loved Koopa Kid/Baby Bowser, would be great if he was brought back. He can coexist with Bowser, Bowser Jr. and everyone else.

[@alvaroperez2349]

I know someone who had an automatic victory in Mario Party, and achieved their dream of Saying no to the Star.

[@crashx9973]

Reference to Emile from TRG during the Mario Party DS let’s play?

[@SpaceWanderer03]

@@crashx9973Pretty sure. So glad he’s doing well now.

[@Tonatact]

The only other instance I can think of where it's viable to say no to the star, is when there's something in front of the star that lets you steal stars and you only have enough coins to only buy a star or steal a star.

[@palpatinerocks3260]

"Ok, no Star for you!" Mario Party DS insulting you has to be the best one.

[@bidule3988]

6:07 Toad speak like when you want to delete a save file in Kirby

[@realdelta4765]

I'm grateful that someone had the courage to make this video. I don't think I've ever turned down a star in my life, even if I didn't take the game seriously. You don't mess around with this stuff.

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

Mario Party: Well, Goodbye. Mario Party 2: Come visit me again! Goodbye! Mario Party 3: What?!? You don't need a star? Well, go figure. Mario Party 4 (Toad): Y-You mean you don't want a Star!? All right… Then come again… Mario Party 4 (Shy Guy): Oh, um, all right… I guess you don't want it. Well, see you later. Mario Party 4 (Goomba): Wha--? Do you want to win something or not? Well, suit yourself! Mario Party 4 (Koopa): Great then we'll-- What!? You don't want it!? Unheard of… Mario Party 4 (Boo): …Ee hee hee hee. So you just don't need it, eh? What a weirdo! Mario Party 4 (Koopa Kid): Huh?! Y-You don't need a Star? Are you afraid of me or something? Mario Party 5: Huh?!?! You say you don't need a star? That's the first! Mario Party 6 (Brighton): You don't want to buy a Star? That's cool. Come back if you change your mind! Mario Party 6 (Twila): You're quite sure you don't want a Star? If you insist! Come again soon. Mario Party 6 (Brighton of Star Splurge): You sure you don't want to buy a Star from me? Hey, good luck out there! Mario Party 6 (Twila of Star Splurge): Are you sure you don't want to buy a Star? Best of luck to all of you! Mario Party 6 (Brighton and DK): You don't need a Star? Well, that's weird! DK will take you back to the Start Space! Mario Party 6 (Twila and DK): Wow! It looks like you don't need a Star! Hang on tight! DK's going to take you back to the Start Space. Mario Party 6 (Brighton and DK chase): Hmmm, I guess you don't need a Star! Mario Party 7 (Toadsworth): Eh? You don't want a Star?! What rubbish! What balderdash! Come back if you reconsider! Mario Party 7 (The Master Koopa): I see. You do not want a Star. Young folly is ever the enemy of good deeds… But lessons must be learned. I will wait for you here if you change your mind. Mario Party 8 (MC Ballyhoo): Really?! You don't need a Star? Inconceivable! Imponderable! I hope you don't regret this… Mario Party 8 (King Boo): Oh!? So be it! Mario Party 8 (Conductor Shy Guy): [just lets you go] Mario Party DS: Okay, no Star for you! Mario Party 10 (amiibo Party): [just lets you go] Super Mario Party: Huh? You don't need one? Well if you say so… But why would you NOT want a Star? R-really? I hope you don't regret this! OK! Come back soon, I hope! (Is this some strange strategy of {insert name here}'s?) Mario Party Superstars: Whaaat? You mean you don't want a Star? Are… Are you sure? Like, really, really sure? Well, if you say so. I'm sure you've got something else in mind… Right? Super Mario Party Jamboree: Whaaat? You mean you don't want even a single Star?! Are…are you sure? Like, really, really sure? Well, if you say so. I'm sure you've got something else in mind… Right?

[@WindWerehog]

next game they'll put "ok, wait, you WILL buy a star, won't you? you! buy! star! yes?! you! buy! star! yes?!..." after the jamboree wall of text lmao

[@RockStoneLee19]

​@@WindWerehognemona. 😭

[@kirschcali]

1:24 what a king - he just laughs and insults you for that decision, haha. That's my Boo!

[@alexgibson781]

Whoa, I am genuinely shocked they only started making you say no multiple times in Super Mario Party.

[@MateoYouTube]

Saying No to the Star in Mario Party is quite an interesting experiment because there's literally no reason to do it (as you gain absolutely nothing from declining it) but it's a rather cool Easter Egg and the devs who had the foresight and put in the work to make all the many different interesting and funny messages for those of us curious about how the host will react deserve some kudos. The funniest ones are the ones from Super Mario Party onwards, the hosts (and the devs) really didn't want you to pass on those stars lol, but will still let you eventually decline it if you keep insisting 3/4 times and acknowledge it as a strange strategy, a different strategy, or a good reason. Mario Party 1's just as funny too for being just so straightforward. Just "Well, goodbye", or rather, "Well, whatever" lol

[@DisgustedDisgustingDude_DDD]

It could be a good strategy to save coins by declining the star and use it to steal a star from an opponent instead.

[@nintendoboy3605]

The thing involving the Super Mario Party games and onwards, I dont think that was just added for humor, I think it was also done in case someone accidentally said no to buying a star.

[@MateoYouTube]

@@DisgustedDisgustingDude_DDDTrue, Good Point, that's certainly a strategy to make them waste coins. But it should be noted that it's a very specific case that would only work if the opponent is close enough to the star to buy it right afterwards you decline to buy it and there's a Boo in the board (and you have to be able to reach it as well), without those 2 things you still gain absolutely nothing from declining it (but it still would be fun to decline it just for kicks if you have a large lead).

[@MateoYouTube]

​@@nintendoboy3605 Yeah, there's that too, it was done both for humor and avoid frustration by accidentally picking no. Asking 3/4 times specifically instead of only one additional confirmation is mostly humor though, no way you're doing that accidentally 3/4 times lol, unless you're blindfolded or something similar.

[@DreadDucky-vj9wq]

I would’ve cried if I accidentally pressed no

[@vincentfichtler7758]

Same here.

[@hAboyd]

I'm pretty sure it defaults you to the Yes option.

[@TheMail518]

if you play the current game, you will be relieved if you accidentally press no for 1st time lol

[@CandleCoveCast]

1:15 I love how Koopa Troopa reacted to the player refusing the star. Reminds me of something from Family Guy, when Chris and Meg said, "Whaaaaaat?!"

[@Nintendo_Wolf]

1:23 Boo is a savage 😂

[@doctorawesomeness6922]

That's like refuses to have a million dollars.

[@Twin138956Productions2019]

Honestly I wonder if CPUs could say no to the Star.

[@TheLordDyl11]

They don’t 😢

[@Globb]

had a game of jamboree where a master cpu had no stars, bought a star, and lost it same turn because they rolled onto a star steal trap

[@hAboyd]

They're smarter than that!

[@damswag4270]

In Mario Party 1 they refuse to steal a Star if theyre on the Way to Toad

[@solarflare9078]

@Globb The one time declining a star would’ve helped and they didn’t What an idiot, lol

[@superninja493]

0:39 Toad sounds so disappointed

[@AbelBello-zp1ql]

I love how the reactions from Mario party 6 are like oh you don’t need a star? Welp good luck on your aventure I guess

[@zjzr08]

It seems Jamboree didn't exactly add an additional dialogue but rather just put an option on one of the text boxes that previously didn't have one.

[@Alex-95-Gaming]

Ninji at the end like "Why, man?"

[@MediaWindowsMaker]

Well? Thats how mario party works, you have to get 20 coins or higher to get a star. Bam. Simple

[@Twin138956Productions2019]

But what if you accidentally say No? Then you won't get it sadly...

[@MediaWindowsMaker]

​@@Twin138956Productions2019Oh yeah about that, you're right, partner

[@MediaWindowsMaker]

​@@Twin138956Productions2019And people had to be careful by clicking no ofc

[@hAboyd]

Erm, actually, In Super Mario Party, Stars cost 10 coins each.

This is needed for easy miracle worker, and getting to the special item shops multiple times using pipes for item usage for achievements

[@MarioMiniGames]

Love the nostalgia! The sound effects and reactions capture the true spirit of Mario Party. It's hilarious to see what happens when you say 'no' to the star! 🎉😂

[@NintendOscar13]

Easiest Advice: Never decline a Star unless you going to be targeted and get stolen from boo

[@UmIHrum114]

❤my favorite: Mario Party 4, 6, 7, 8, DS, 9, Island Tour

[@themetagamer7862]

There is no better feeling in the world than refusing a star so your opponents don't target you with the boo, and winning because of it.

[@el-yerba-buena9678]

I hated that there was an option to say no (specifically MP4 and 7) since my Gamecube controllers were super busted up that sometimes the stick moved on its own making me choose "No" instead of ''Yes'' Edit: BTW perfectly cut moment 6:00

[@kassostvcorporation]

who the hell on earth says no to a star ? I've never seen in my whole life someone turning down a star

[@BrainSpyroTheDragoness]

Automatically buying a star (if you have at least 20 coins) should've been implemented since the beginning.

[@pierreyann1]

Not really, especially if you have 50-70 coins and boo is right next to the star.

[@drewlmao]

There are legitimate incentives to say no. They're very niche but the option needs to be there for those cases

[@WillTheRedPanda]

But what if you have exactly 20 coins & you would be broke if buying a star? lol

[@y4nqui]

I disagree, there are legitimate situations where you don't want to buy a star (like, maybe it's the last turn, you have 50 coins, and you're also going to pass by Boo) Also not buying a star and winning anyway is the ultimate own

[@hAboyd]

I would disagree!

[@QuinceDix3829]

I'm honestly questioning the existence of this feature. How the heck did the people at Nintendo come up with the idea? Why the heck should one choose whether or not to get that damn star? They should get it over and done with. This feature from Nintendo is vehemently futile if you ask me, if not the most futile one they added up until now.

[@JoeandLIV]

So that’s what toad says if we refuse to take a star lmao

[@PawprintsMaker]

I like it how with each modern game they add a confirmation note. It went straight from 3 times to 4 by the time we got to Jamboree lol.

[@mzmizz8226]

6:04 yeah, the possibility of buying the star but then losing it on bowser space up ahead is too big. Nice mind play lol

[@joshuwamckinsey5666]

The only time this Pass a Star Strat I think I viable is when your playing on Horror Land and you’re saving up to steal 3 stars.

[@ashmander3465]

Oh some achievements would actually benefit from this. Just need to not have cpus in the game so that there's no way for them to mess up getting them

[@FrostReach66]

I’m surprised they let little Timmy even have the ability to decline the star in the new games

[@viniciusgmachado1204]

Who? 🤨

[@n64gamefan]

Chuggaaconroy once declined a star and won a game of Mario Party DS.

[@jairog2787]

0:39 Elvis Blue: ohh too bad Geo Red: oh ok maybe another time Spike: ya don't want it, well too baad Maiden in pink: hmph well fine then

[@SuperRadiantPhoebe]

I actually once remember denying the star at King Boo's Haunted Hideaway, I think as Birdo, because DK was in the building and I really wanted Toadette to get a free star from him. I was surprised King Boo was just so submissive. I don't think what King Boo forsaw was for Birdo (or Toadette) to reenter the building THIS TIME to buy a star from the ghostly monarch

[@TrefleeFL]

I actually declined a star once, it was on Yoshi's Tropical Island, I had like 50ish coins and a high enough roll to reach the Boo, and in my case, stealing a star was way more valuable than buying one, because one of my opponents had the lead and I had to steal him so I could have a chance to win. Other than that, I guess it can be useful in games with a -1 star space like MPDS, MP7 or Jamboree if you are currently sitting at 0 stars. That way, you make sure it will not get stolen.

[@Tanbro99]

5:10 "Ok, No star for you!"

[@lightyoshiman]

(Says no to a star) Npc: what you don't like winning? Me: something tells me I'd just be wasting my coins (glare over to my opponent who's in front of boo)

[@hidmdhd2156]

Great video and happy Halloween everyone ^^

[@gamebrojoe]

I still have memories of Alpharad accidentally buying the Star when he meant to pass it in Super Mario Party. I believe that that was also the video where the legendary Hard DK made his debut.

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

You won't find this frequently if you playing in multi-player whenever local or online 😂. Saying no stars is tough choice

[@kholdkhaos64ray11]

I think after the first 2 games, they realized how silly the option was to ask the player so they made fun text for that option. Lol

[@flying7900]

I remember my friend was playing MP8 in the DK stage with me once, and he rejected the star once for the hell of it and I justs at there confused (keep in mind I was winning). He then went on to win the game.

[@TheLordDyl11]

“This game is so hard😭😭😭” And then it shows footage like this

[@Paperboy01234]

What’s the point of the “No” option of a star is your only chance of winning?

[@honeybee3483]

the only time picking "NO to Star" option is if you have 50 coins (30 in SMP) and you about to reach Boo (Lakitu in SMP) to steal a star instead.

[@CountMonsparkle]

Or if it's the last round and you know the star is going to be stolen.
