Pump Cart Panic is my least favorite of the Wii Party minigames.

Tropical Jump and Back Attack were the joy of my family. I miss our Wii.

[@GrantsGaming]

14:33 another detail I like about this game is when you do get exactly the right amount the other miis look at you surprised, that's what makes counting worth it haha

[@josephaversa2494]

You can actually juke the three players in Poserobics into making a choice, then switching it at the last second. It's a lot more fun that way, so I'd put it in B. Lumber Whacks also has some strategy, where you can throw your log faster than normal to try and make the one player fall off balance, allowing you to actually hit them. Overall, also a B.

When I was a kid I used to play Wii Party by myself by connecting four wii remotes and trying to control all of them at the same time. Going through this list I can't help but categorize it into "games that sort of work while holding four different wii remotes" and "games that would be better if child-me had friends". Ah, good times.

All RNG minigames are an automatic F-tier in my opinion. Words cannot describe how much they have pissed me off.

[@FlamezOfGamez]

RNG (or RNG-heavy) minigames are still good to have in party games, as a catch up mechanism to lessen the impact of skill. This is especially nice for modes where the player in 4th place can choose the minigame, and they can pick one that leaves things up to chance instead of a battle of skill. Jumbo Jump actually has an RNG element to the game, which makes players jump different distances even if they swing at the same time. This is to prevent ties from happening in the game itself, which is more elegant and diegetic than doing a tiebreaker roll afterwards. Dicey Descent at least allows a little bit of player agency, namely in how you can pick if you’re on the same side as certain other players, which can be important in how it can guarantee wins for players in an advantage state. Strategy Steps is a push-your-luck Prisoner’s Dilemma game, rather than a pure RNG game, especially if all players are human. Prisoner’s Dilemma, although still ultimately very random, is preferable to pure RNG. Risky Railroad once again allows you to decide if you take the path as certain other players, which can once again be an important decision to make. It’s pure luck once it’s down to 2 players, though. Lucky Launch is pure RNG. Hide-and-Peek is pure luck, but most players don’t actually realize that the ideal strategy is to have one (human) player intentionally hide behind the horses, which leads to a higher chance of winning for the hiders, which is unintuitive to think about, seeing as the seeker can literally see you hiding there. This turns this minigame into a secret statistics test, which is, well, something, at least? Meet and Greet also technically tests your button mashing skills (since the faster you can pick a door, the faster you’ll complete the minigame), as well as coordination between players to not pick duplicate doors once they’re each just 1 door away, but that’s a very small part of the minigame. And then obviously RNG appears throughout tons of other minigames as well (order of obstacles in Flap Hurdles, puzzles in Puzzle Pick-Up, asteroids in Moon Landing, Mii behavior in Smile Snap, etc.), but that’s not the type of RNG you object to. Smile Snap is actually a good example of a partial RNG game, since in addition to being a push-your-luck game of deciding how many smiling Miis you want to photograph at once, it also tests your reaction speed to even act on the situation. And as my final note, obviously, even amongst RNG minigames, there can still be ways to present them that make them more engaging. There’s a reason that across the Mario Party series, Bowser’s Big Blast is basically universally recognized as the best RNG minigame, and it purely comes down to presentation.

[@jessiesalerno3545]

While it might seem silly and possibly stupid that one of the hiding spots you can see the mii from the seeker screen, sacrificing a single player to force the seeker to "find" that player actually increases the team of 3's probability of winning.

Ain't no way it took you an hour to beat the CPU (what difficulty I didn't pay attention) on Delivery Duel I can consistently beat the Master CPUs on that game

I don't know why it never connected with me that you would be playing Wii Party with your miis, and I felt like I was seeing famous people out in the while like the Stoke-on-Trent Steamers getting off the train! Like, I could imagine your mii counting the people on the train and then seeing the some of the team getting out and rushing for autographs! My favorite, including my sister's, was the back attack one and teamwork temple. We loved the temple one so much for some reason XD.

I swear to god, any of those minigames (even the “underwhelming” ones) could get tense as fuck in the context of the bigger game it takes place in. Face flip gets real very quickly when you’re one away from a 2 X 3 in Swap Meet and there’s a wild mii on the table.

[@RelativtUkendt]

This video is S tier for sure! 👍 Would you ever consider doing some sort of video on the miitopia game? 😊

[@BogBoyOfficial]

maybe yeh!! I’ve played through the game and loved it so

[@RelativtUkendt]

@BogBoy I think it could be really fun if it is something you could be interested in. I really enjoyed the game as well, and I know of no one on KZbin who makes better Mii content 😁 Keep up the good work, man 👍

[@FlamezOfGamez]

Funny thing about Hide and Peek, is that it’s actually a better strategy to have one player hide behind the horses in the center. If you assume the hiders can’t coordinate to all hide in different spots, (they’re CPUs, or the seeker could hear human players talking), then if nobody hides behind the horses, the hiders only have a 91/216 (42.13%) chance of winning after the seeker can prove that nobody’s behind the horse. But if one player chooses to hide behind the horses (and they can guarantee that they’re the only one, because CPUs don’t hide there, and you can say it out loud to the seeker, since they’d just be able to see you anyway), then the seeker only has 4 guesses to finding the remaining two players, leading to a 5/9 (55.56%) chance of the hiders winning. Hiding in plain sight is literally a good thing, because it wastes a guess on a spot that the seeker can normally automatically eliminate. If the hiders can coordinate with one another (3 humans all hide in different spots versus 1 CPU), then the odds of winning in each case are 1/2 (50%) and 3/5 (60%) instead. And just to be complete, the odds of winning for the hiders with 2 humans who can coordinate, and 1 CPU that can’t are 4/9 (44.44%) and 5/9 (55.56%) for each strategy, respectively.

181 is the farthest you can go. Also, one time me and my mom both got 281 in the same round, so 181 literally happened twice in a row. I once tried to get 181 twice in a row by myself for like 30 minutes but couldn’t do it. I got 181 and then 180 several times though. I have gotten 180 probably 250+ times, and 181 probably 25+ times total
