Jon’s Descent into Madness Volume 1: Wiggler’s Garden. What started off as another LP of another Mario Party, little did anyone realize at the time, it would be chronicled as Jon’s Descent into Madness.

[@joeytaylor1021]

The word is 'descent', one of the most commonly misspelled words. But all of us knew what you meant. Descent into Madness indeed, starting in a garden and ending in an infernal pinball machine.

I thought it would be fun to track Jon's anger for this. Here we begin with Wigglers Garden, everything is going as you expected, minigames, shopping, and hexes. After some time Emile landed on a star hex space and gained 3 more stars. However Jons anger soon began to boil as emile gained more stars and even even skipped one. Jons anger has only begun.

TRG's journey begins in Wiggler's Garden, where the crew finds out just how ridiculous this game can be with its game changing hexes and events such as the almighty Star Block. Their next destination is an area full of musical madness.

[@MarioBrosFan]

This project further solidifies Emile's years-long characterization as the Gladstone Gander of TRG, blessed with insane luck and getting to look smug as he declines a star on the first board (his saving grace is that he's putting effort into winning minigames, so he's not a layabout like Gladstone). Meanwhile, Jon's feeling as ill-tempered as Donald Duck, getting screwed over at every turn and feeling extremely envious of Emile's success. And as usual, Tim's just going through the motions and being his whimsical self, much like Fethry Duck. Now I'm wondering how TRG's guests and friends fit into this scenario as stand-ins for the McDuck clan. Any Webby kinnies out there who want to volunteer?

33:26 The funny thing is, even if that did happen, Emile still would have won this game due to getting all but one of the bonus stars. He really was destined to fulfill his dream!

[@lucasknox4871]

The ending to that board really should have announced the colour for the entire project. But all the same, all the boards caught me off-guard.

[@Vaithegamingwarrior]

Okay. So one thing I wanna clear up about Emile's little thing about the opening, because a few things are wrong: 5 Sky Crystals fall from the sky and Bowser was wanting them for a reason explained at the end of the Story Mode (I won't spoil it for those who want to find out themselves) One of these crystals falls near Mario, who tells his friends (and Wario and Waluigi, for some reason) about it the next day Afterward (or at least, I assume it's afterward), Bowser says invites Mario and co. to his castle for a party, also inviting DK (you see his fate at a later board, but that's when we get to it) Mario and friends go and get captured, where Bowser uses his Mario Party DS exclusive item and the REAL reason the crew's tiny, the Minimizer, to shrink everyone down After THAT fiasco, Kamek takes everyone to a faraway area, where Mario and co. awaken and go on a journey to get back to normal size, collecting all the other Crystals along the way by beating the bosses of each board So yeah, Emile's whole bit about eating food that shrinks you being the reason for why you're tiny is full of shit. I 100%-ed this (for no other reason than having nothing better to do with my time when I had this game, I don't know where the cart is now), and it was absolutely MISERABLE when doing so (though I still come back every now and then if a friend has it) Just wanted to clear it up for those who might not REALLY know and just take Emile's explanation at face value

[@GuyYouMetOnline]

I do have this game, but it's been a long time since I played it, and before this LP, I'd forgotten just how much the game was essentially just pure distilled Mario Party. It takes all the craziness and chaos of other Mario Parties and just runs with it, and that plus TRG was sure to be a hell of a ride. I just didn't QUITE know where the ride would be going.

The story behind this let's play is so wholesome, but also topical as it was the last time the three got together before COVID happened. So many events, so many stars and coins, so many nostalgic memories of Mario Parties 1 - 8 past, only three friendships rekindled though (unless you count all the watchers out in KZbin land; then it's in the hundreds and thousands).

Thank you lots Amber for gifting us a funny Time with TRG, and especially Jon's Luck.

[@yokai59loi36]

I wished they dappled a bit more into the story. Emile managed to not only misexplain why the bosses exist, but the actual plot of the story. Summary: Crystal has fallen from the sky and split into 5. Mario got 1, a random koopa got 1, toadette got 1, wiggler got 1, and DK got 1. Bowser sent invites, as Emile said. Bowser sends troops for everyone else who didn't get them. DK runs into Dry bones and get petrified. Kamek turns the grand pappy of the koopa into a book. Everyone else is self explanatory. When the gang arrives at Bowser's, they are trapped and shrunken immediately. Then thrown very far away. Along the way, you encounter the other 4 who got crystals, fix their dilemmas, and get their shards in the process. DK did get a ticket to the buffet and when you free him, he goes charging anyways. When the bowser boss fight occurs, you are still tiny until DK and Diddy bust in and destroy the staff Bowser used to shrink you. So his boss fight occurs and he is tied up with JR. You then put all shards together and get and glass DS and you let the Bowsers have the first turn. The End

Fun fact:Since Emile had a 5 star gap on Jon, the 3 stars he could have gotten from the star blocks wouldn’t have mattered.
