Favorite Mario Party game

[Sweetley]

Which is your favorite Mario Party game and why? And which character(s) did you
choosed most of the time?

I only played the Game Cube ones and for a few minutes Mario Party 8 for the Wii. My
favorites would be Mario Party 4 and 5. I spent a lot of time playing them, especially
with 5 when I got as a present back then and had lots of fun playing them. I mostly
choosed either Daisy, Peach, Luigi or Waluigi since they are my favorite characters
and I like them a lot.

Whichever one had the genie, there was a spooky level and everyone dresses up like witches.
I'd always play as Peach.

I think 6, or just 4-6 in general. They defo had the best mini games and the Gamecubes one were great.

Mario Party 1 and 8 are my favorite ones!! I have very fond memories of playing both, especially the first one. My friend and I have spent hours playing DK Jungle Adventure and Peach's Birthday Cake. We also liked putting the CPU characters on easy so they would just act like idiots the whole game lol

I own the first game (it's in the original box too), but I really need to get MP8. I never actually owned that one; I think I borrowed it from an old friend years ago. But I definitely remember how hilarious it was to play as Waluigi and shake the controller constantly when it wasn't my turn, so I could hear him say funny taunts n stuff.


I really want to try out the ones on the Gamecube. That console's library is rather inaccessible to me since the games are kinda pricey, but someday hopefully Ill get to play them.

Lmao had to admit the first one was "fun" too. Ninty where's my special gloves?

Also as for characters, in pretty much every game my friend and I play like that (MK64, Smash bros, etc.) I always play as Wario and my friend plays as Luigi. We're the unstoppable duo

When I'm alone I play as my wah boi ♡

 

[Alienfish]

Wa-luigi duo lmao.

I can't say I like the latest Switch one much though. I mean playing as that mole is fun but the games are kinda meh

I'm gonna go with 6. The day/night cycle was pretty interesting, and seeing it translate over to the minigames and sometimes changing how they played depending on the time was even better! I also had the mic and playing through the microphone minigames and the quiz show thing was always hilarious.
8 is a close second. My ONLY complaint with 8 is that it doesn't have support for modern widescreen TV's, so you have to deal with these ugly borders on the sides. But that doesn't really relate to how the game itself is

 

[Alienfish]

I never cared for mic but hell yeah 6 had some of the best stages. E. Gadd's garage ftw.

And games.. Mowtown and Cannonball fun ftw(camping hell yeahhh). And the dust/clean ones yaeaaaaea boi.

I always really loved that dusting game too, not really sure why tho

Mario Party 7 is indisputably the best Mario Party on the Gamecube. The day/night cycle from 6 is a huge gimmick and only draws the attention of the lowest skill Mario Party players. MP7 combines skill, luck, and fun in such a way that it is impossible to get bored. Stages like Pagoda Peak and Windmillville are some of the best in the entire MP game. Now join me, old bean, and we shall party with Mario.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic because we people like 6 here or if you're just being elitist. Personally I thought the day/night cycle was fun and yeah it definitely had the best mini games. Also I'm a proud "low skill" game player, I play it for fun or collecting(if Pok?mon) and if anything I don't like elitist stuff.

On the other hand Mario kart 8, to stray a bit off topic, is absolutely baby levels and that I don't like. Also they basically ruined all the old tracks bc "lol update graphics and make it easy".

Never a fan of the Wii games really, the controlling and Wii console were never my things... Except for MKWii maybe.

My favorite Mario Party is Mario Party 5 because I could play as Koopa Kid.

My favourite is Mario Party 7, followed closely by Mario Party 6. Both games had great maps and amazing minigames. A couple of years ago we hosted a MP7 night and played the eight player mode and it was an absolute blast.

I've been disappointed by the more recent entries in the MP series, but Super Mario Party is also really good. It may not have as much variety in maps and minigames, but all of the different modes make the game worth it for me.

This one was always my favourite too! The little house is just so cute. If only dusting was that fun in real life.

BUT BUT BUT DIDN'T WE HAVE FUN TRUNDLE DIDN'T WE!? ;-;

5 is my favourite! It is the one I played the most as a kid and it reminds me of the best times of my childhood. Also, I loved the kart building gamemode! I would always play as Daisy.

 

[Daydream]

Mario Party 7 by far! I've just got so many memories of playing that game with my family when I was still a kid.

Mario Party 2 on the N64. Ruined so many N64 sticks lol

 

[amazonevan19]

Mario Party 3 was the pinnacle of the series IMHO. Fantastic battle mode actually gave some fun single player content outside the usually underwhelming single player mode, and I loved the boards, items, games, and mechanics.

Mario Party Star Rush is criminally underrated imo: people hate on it for changing things up or just plain forget about it, but it was far superior to the dumb cart and being able to move on your own, all at the same time with other players, was a very interesting mechanic change.

Super Mario Party would probably be in the top half of Mario Party games if it actually had content.

 

[lunaboog]

Mario Party DS is my favorite by far!I haven't really played much games from the series, but DS is so nostalgic to me.

 

[Cure Whip]

Mario Party 5 is definitely my favorite one within the franchise!

The soundtrack is just glamorous, and stacking ice cream was so much fun.

My favorite map was the Sweet Dream. The best event space was definitely "throwing a party" for the player who landed at the top. The lucky player would receive a capsule, star or coins from every single player!

Anyways, my favorite Nintendo character was and will always be: Princess Peach! She's the only character I enjoy playing as whole heatedly!
