Honestly if I go and think about it the best Mario game is Mario 3D world, I’m not just saying that because you like it I’m just saying it because it is, it is close but there is a gap in there that’s very visible between great and amazing, honestly I did not like Mario odyssey to the amazing+ extent that everyone does I think that super Mario wii is the best 2D Mario ever and I stay true to that

Pleas pleas don't start making a lot of them pleas!

[@HoddemannNor]

Hmm..... I highly disagree Super Mario Party is the worst Mario Party game. Actually, I flat out refuse to accept your reasoning. By all means, SMP was not a shining diamond, but it did some correct steps to become closer to MP 1-8. The car was a disaster, while SMP corrected many of its mistakes like remove the car and having minigames after each round. In addition, the thing that each character actually have a specific dice is just wonderful. You like too talk about control, and here we have a prime example of excactly getting that. Yet you overshadow it completely with this "rant" over SMP. And when it comes to map, that is complete bullorcks. We all know that every map in the MP 1-8 + SMP were built around going in a circle. I can see your argue about the lack of options (that i agree you with), but going around the map is just following the MP formula. Your solutions, allthough interesting, are just too much of a sidestep for MP-franchise. I hope too never see Nintendo reintroduce the car.

What makes Mario party 1 stand out is its treatment towards loss. When you lose, the game lets you know it. That harsh music-sting, the loss-state animations, the cutscenes that play when you place in 4th, losing your coins to your opponent. Mario Party 1 was a friendship-killer because when you lost, the game straight-up rubs your face in it.

[@bluetoon1499]

It's a fine balance. The og Mario Party was a little TOO ruthless IMO. For example, the character who comes in last place will cry and end up dying or something in the ending cutscene, just to add insult to injury. There's a lot of BS like how losing certain mini games will take coins AWAY from players. Imagine you get to a star space with over 20 coins, but at the last second you lose a mini game and can't afford one anymore. Keep in mind some mini games are entirely luck based, require you to risk hurting your palm and busting your control stick to win, and are objectively rigged in favor of one team. Sure, this is pretty hilarious with the right group of people, but I can see why it ended friendships. I think MP2 struck a better balance. Yes, there's still lots of luck involved and players can swap places at the drop of a hat, but they don't rub it in as much when you lose. It feels more like Mario Kart, like sure you can get hit by a blue shell, and go from first to last place, but you have plenty of chances to grab an item and do the same to the jerks in front of you before speeding by them. It's all part of the game. That kind of back and forth can keep everyone invested no matter how insane it gets when it's balanced properly IMO.

[@mattjackson2799]

My idea of mario party "ultimate" (getting the best of all games): - Themed boards and costumes based on the theme (like in mario party 2) - orb based item system like in mario party 5-7 where you could put traps on board spaces - day and night system like in mario party 6 which would slightly change routes and/or gimmicks/traps of the board depending on day or night. - gold pipes would be like magic lamps in older games.They cost more than the actual star and appear very rarely.Which means you cant always just get them whenever you go to the item shop. - full board online multiplayer both with friends and randoms.And if you play with randoms and someone leaves mid session he will get penalty (like not being able to play online for certain amount of time) and will be replaced by a bot. - 8 player multiplayer option (both online and offline).Offline could still be possible since there are already games on switch with 8 player local multiplayer (smash bros,luigis mansion) making it the ultimate party game if you have a lot of people over.Some minigames would be exclusive to 4 players and some to 8 players but most of them could work both in 4 player and 8 player modes.2v2 could work as 4v4 or 4 teams of 2 and 1v3 could work as 2v6 in 8 player mode - 200 minigames.100 minigames would be "retro" minigames from previous games and 100 would be new ones - at least 6 boards - big and complex boards like in older mario party games.Dice blocks would also go up to 10 instead of 6.However characters can still have their unique dice blocks if you want better chance of getting specific number.Also make them fast paced like in older mario party games.The newer ones (especiallly SMP) are painfully slow. - Future DLC support for extra content.One DLC could add one board,1 or 2 new characters and 10-20 new minigames - The car gimmick can actually be in the game as long as its a seperate mode.It could work as singleplayer mode or coop mode but the main board play should be like classics - Bowser should be a villain of the game rather than playable character.As much as I like having more playable characters I prefer bowser being the one who screws you over in the game instead of kamek.So he would have his spaces where he screws you over and have bowser minigames - Boss battle minigames.They could be either part of bowser minigames or they could be after the last turn - Also duel minigames,battle minigames and bowser minigames definitely need return. - Cutscene by the end of the board where winner defeats bowser (like in mario party 2) - Stars cost 20 coins (like in classics) unless the board has specific gimmick that changes their prices.

[@Medachod]

Do not forget about returning rotation mini-games.

[@bluetoon1499]

I'm with you for most of these, it sounds SUPER fun. A few nitpicks though... 1. I think orbs should only be able to override blue and red spaces, not the unique spaces. Most of the spaces on a board are going to be valid targets, so orbs will still be useful, but this way they're not as game breaking. 2. I don't mind magic lamps being available in item shops, but they should be VERY expensive, like 40 coins (the price of two stars). Boo charges 50 to steal a star, so that's not unreasonable. If you manage to get filthy rich through mini games or luck and you have 40 coins to burn, then you should be able to buy a lamp if you desire. Maybe items should go on sale for the player in last place and on the last five turns, to give people chances to make a big comeback. 3. I'm torn on the idea of 8 players. You could do it, but if you just ported over retro mini games, they wouldn't translate very well to 8 players, because they were designed with 4 players in mind. Furthermore, there would be far more time spend waiting for other players to take their turns and make little choices like viewing the map before taking a fork in the road or deciding what item to buy. It has a lot of potential, but it would have to be built from the ground up as a game designed for 8 players in every regard, from the boards to the mini games. 4. I think the unique dice Super introduced are a spicy idea with a lot of potential, but as we have seen they can be abused easily when they aren't balanced properly. I would be very careful with something like that. I suggest there's an item you have to buy at an item shop or win in an item mini game called the "Super Dice" that allows you to roll your character's unique dice instead of the normal dice FOR ONE TURN ONLY. That means the unique dice are a factor in the game, but they don't completely dominate the whole experience. They should be an exciting bonus that are much harder to abuse. Otherwise, your ideas are pure gold. Let's call it Super Mario Party 2, and it will kick ass.

[@CatGamerstudios]

“Proper online mode”

[@kymera7088]

I found what you’re saying about Mario party very interesting , specifically where you mention having fun with the game itself and not just the people you’re with. I haven’t played 1-8, but one of the games that defined my childhood was Mario party DS. Mostly by myself, because I didn’t get together with friends often as a kid, and no one else in my family had a DS. But oh man, even by myself that was my favorite game ever. I sunk so many hours into it, it was practically all I’d play on the DS. Road trips, rainy days, on the school bus, that’s usually what I’d play. The most recent Mario party game I played was Mario party 10. Sure it was kinda fun with family, but I never found enjoyment in playing by myself or really much in the game itself. I’m glad I watched this before purchasing super Mario party because from the way you described it, it definitely isn’t the same as the originals. Great video!!

[@ShaunDreclin]

I wouldn't let this video put you off buying the game, IMHO. Is it as good as some of the previous titles? Big no. Is it still a good game? Yes! Especially if you have a good group of people to play it with. The fun might be coming from those people, but it's a vehicle for that fun to happen in the first place. If you're like me and struggle to find new games for your friend group to make sure nobody gets too bored of any of your regular titles, this is one to add to the library. That said if you do own a gamecube or one of the wiis with backwards compatibility, you should absolutely pick up 4-7. Best titles in the series!

[@mac1bc]

Well I'm torn. I recently got Mario Party 8 to play with my daughter, but just after a few minutes she became bored with it. I think we were both just expecting to play mini-games together not having to unlock them first playing on the board. I wonder if we would enjoy the simpler Mario Party 9 more 🤔

[@will_of_europa]

Right? I've stopped buying new Nintendo titles altogether because they have just all been disappointing. Last one I bought was Mario Maker 2. Boy was that a waste of money. (Not because it was bad, but because you have to be involved in the online community to get it's full worth.) Pretty much everything they've released since has looked very disappointing. Luigi's Mansion 3. Zelda Dynasty Warriors. Pokemon SW/SH (do not get me started on this piece of garbage). I don't know what happened to Nintendo, or why they can't keep making games at Odyssey/BotW quality, but man, it's sure sad.

@@will_of_europa It’s a shame. The switch has so much potential with games like Odyssey, Botw, and smash ultimate. Honestly even Mario kart 8 is a really good game. Most of the others are disappointing tho

All that magic thrown away. It got even worse with 10. Then, I opened up super mario party. That magic came back a little bit, but faded away eventually. The game felt like mario party for babies. I liked the unique dice mechanic that opened up strategy, but you got so many coins that it felt pointless. The minigames felt awful as well. People say super is good, but its just not.

What is the point of this meme

[@SpicyRiceyCake]

At first I disliked Super Mario Party for the same reasons-cheap star, small map, and reduced dice size. But the game is better because of the changes. Generally what will happen in the old games is that stars spawn so far apart that if someone has 2 or 3 star leads, that person will likely win. Because everyone knows this, they kind give up halfway thru the game. Having smaller map where you can reach stars easier and with right rolls can even get 2 stars at once, and the fact stars are cheaper now with 2nd and 3rd places getting partial coins, keep the game competitive a lot longer than the original versions. My only complaint is 4 maps are too little.

[@jo-lethal2792]

I actually really like the latest entry. It’s way better than 9 and 10 that’s for sure. It can get strategic with the character dice rolls even tho it’s RNG. Me and my girl would play it after work all the time and get super competitive. Although I think online play should be a thing by now and it needs more boards.

Mario Party 10 is actually my favorite. Full disclosure, it was the first Mario Party I ever played, so it does have that unfair advantage. I now have that, all three for the 3DS and Super Mario Party for Switch. I think Super is kind of lame. If they make another one for Switch, I'd love to see them base it on the Star Rush model. I loved that style and it also speeds up the game.

I got my nintendo switch about 3 months ago with the goal of having a family console. first thing I looked for was a family game and I came across super mario party (last mparty i played was mparty 8 and ds) but after reading the reviews, I saw how bad it is and decided to get mario kart 8. after 2 days I experienced exactly what you were saying. I was winning every game and my family was far behind me. so I returned it. few days ago mario party superstars released and I finally experienced a good family game. we've been playing it non stop. I like how you explained the 'perfect random' because thats exactly what it provided. so luck based and it evens the playing field, yet I feel like my skills are still rewarded. The way you describe this 'perfect random' is perfect and I'm actually happy I saw this video, because now im able to put into words why I enjoy this game so much more than for example mario kart 8.

[@twiddle10000]

I actually really liked Super Mario Party when I was just playing it with my brother and 2 CPUs but once we played all the maps, we lost interest and stopped playing it. I actually want to play it more but it’s held to such a low standard that my brother acts like it would be a disgrace to play it and I don’t know why. Edit: Actually the only part I really liked was the partner play, I feel like that’s a really good idea for a new mode. I’m glad you didn’t mention it in this video.

[@zgamer200]

I was with you on just about everything up until you said MP8 was your Mario Party of choice, but I also recognize that I'm someone who really doesn't like motion controls, so the blatant shoehorning of them into every minigame made MP8 my 2nd least favorite MP of the ones I've played(4-8 and DS). Anyway I agree that MP has a sort of "perfect randomness" to it. I'm good at MP in the sense that if I play a game of MP, I will usually win. But everyone else still has a chance because of all the random luck factors outside of your control, and that makes it a lot more fun(albeit kinda frustrating at times).

I’m so glad I found you. Most people on the internet talking about these things didn’t grow up with the Wii, they’re much older. I grew up on Mario Party 8 and was disappointed with both 10 and super. My favourite Mario game is 3D world and my favourite Wii U game is Nintendoland

I hope the next installment will be better.

If Nintendo really wants to earn some brownie points they could totally re-release Mario Party 1 through 10 in a bundle for the Switch, or at the very least release them in separate bundles, like 1-4 and 5-8.

[@Chun-believable]

I didn’t find Super’s roster all that great, it was actually boring. I’ve BEEN over them throwing in random baddies that nobody cares about. Toad, Toadette, Birdo, DK, and Jr. should be staples. And if DK is a staple, why not Diddy too? Pauline can be unlockable or a main cast too. As for the baddies they love adding, Koopa, Paratroopa, Bowser, and Boo/King Boo should be unlockable. Maybe the Koopalings too if it’s not too much. -Big boards, free movement -1-10 dice blocks -Stars cost at least 20 coins. -Battle Spaces, Minigame spaces, Happening Spaces. -Team option, with unique team names again based on the two characters (I thought that touch was really cute). Not completely necessary, but if they can add guests for Mario Kart, why can’t Link and Zelda join the party too? A team of Ganon and Bowser. Samus, Fox, and Kirby would be great too.

[@Foreverstudio0192]

I think the biggest problem with super Mario party is the fact that not only the boards are much smaller, but the dies have been reduced to 6. I find it incredibly frustrating when I have multiple turns land on 1-3 and I feel like I get nowhere the entire game. The old Mario parties did not have this problem because the chances of getting these low rolls were smaller.

[@michael.l9637]

Imo Super mario party was amazing , maybe not the best in the series but for sure a way better direction then the last handful of games yes the maps need to be worked and online play is horrible but it comes togther in a nice way to have single player and a safe but nice way to play mario party with friends

[@MarcAway]

These points do make a lot of sense, but think about it: The time together with family is really fun, but you need the game to obtain this fun. You can't make fun out of nothing, you have to make fun out of something. Sometimes the thing you make fun out of isn't even fun. Personally, i don't even care what the mario party games are, i just love to play them. I still enjoyed Mario party 9, 10 and super, but i couldn't play them often cause no one wanted to play it with me. That's why i really want story mode. Just like in mario party 3 and 4. Whenever you beat something in story mode, a collectable unlocks. For mario party 3 it was the stone statues and for mario party 4 it was personalized objects. I really want to see that again. I do understand that being inside a car removes the freedom and strategy of the game, but bowser party was one of my fav things with the car. Bowser may be op, but that's basically so he can catch up with the players more often, so more minigames are played. Most minigames are still pretty skill based (except for the bingo one, but that's still a fun one), so it isn't really overpowered i would say. Having lives instead of stars and cooperative mode instead of ffa is a cool catch, really hope to see that again. The mobile things, i'm not sure about that. When i play jackbox, the game is sometimes laggy, especially when i join someone who lives like at the other side of the world. So in my opinion, I would love to see more story AND more online, so i don't have to wait for my family to play with me, as they don't really want to ;( but the rest, i don't really mind, as long as i can enjoy myself with the games, i'm satisfied. Btw, a new top 100 sorta mario party game is coming out, it's not really what we seem, but it is going slightly in the right direction (for most people), so let's hope the games can go back to mario party 3 (my favorite) gameplay but still good design.

Super mario party is not That bad❤️

[@mattbarker97]

You bring up an interesting point with the whole "do you have fun with the game, or with people" argument. Some of my favorite mario party moments have been playing SMP with my wife, largely due to how we handle the cpus. We usually put one on a higher difficulty and one on a lower difficulty, and my favorite game we ever played was one where the low difficulty cpu made all the wrong choices through the entire game, but similar to your experience with MP8 in this video, somehow ended up winning out of nowhere while we were all floundering around stealing stars from each other. But would that have been as fun with only myself playing with three cpus? Honestly I can't say. All I can say is thank goodness for Mario Party Superstars and its ACTUAL return to form, since that game is waaaaay more fun

I also loved how everything could have happened in the old games, you turn into a ball, stuck into a Bowser custume, getting squished, literally fall into the sun, get sucked by a black hole, captured by a hungry dog, getting pushed from high places. Often you end up doing bad things to your friends for your own sake and there was no limit to that could happen. The modern Mario Parties rather feel like a sandbox for children under age 3. Sorry

[@caseyhernly1963]

What I want most out of a Mario Party game would be "Super Mario Party Maker"! Where the players can create their own boards and put coins or "vs" on each path spot. Upload your boards online for others to download and use! How fun would that be! The one thing I would want to return would be the character dice and friend phone. So I'd want that back! Maybe they could even do what they did in Mario Maker and you choose the style of how you want the characters to look from previous versions. Could have the 3D look or a super low poly look like in 64.

[@UltimateTS64]

I relate to that intro so much accept that both my sisters are older than me. We used to love playing Mario Kart together until I got too good for my oldest sister, but my other sister and I used to battle it out in Mario Kart Wii for awhile. Then when Mario Kart 8 came out, we tried that, we didn't like it as much, but I played it more, so she lost all her skill. I tried getting them to play Smash too, but they felt it was too complicated. Luckily we always had Mario Party DS to hold us together. We all had to share a room in the summer since the only air conditioner in the house was in my sister's room, so we'd all stay up all night playing Mario Party DS and New Super Mario Bros. Minigames. Even after they moved out, on our last family vacation we started a game, but stopped at a restaurant and all three of us played in the restaurant while waiting on our food 😂. I think Mario Party is like the perfect bridge in the skill gap. We also used to play a lot of Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, one of my favorite party games hands down.

I feel like big twists can still happen in Mario Party 9 and 10. Towards the end of a game bowser summons bowser spaces. There is a chance bowser can take half of everyone’s mini stars and you have to fight for them. You can get like over 60 by winning just one mini game. It is a big twist especially since it’s towards the end of the game. I played Mario party 8,9,10 and some 3ds ones. I enjoyed all of them
