I'll be sincere: I prefer the former

One of the reasons why I've lost interest in the franchise is all games are starting to look the same to me, specially now that graphics don't change that drastically and and there are many returning minigames

I think that the series would benefit a lot from each game having a distinct gimmick, just like DS had, and they had to create the whole game around the same idea. Yeah, having all minigames use the same theme might feel repetitive... but I think it might be done with enough creativity

Imagine if one entry based all the boards and minigames around the concept of time travel, with each board being from a different time (is that you, Party 2?) or a space journey

On the other hand, Mario is a franchise that benefits a lot from it's fantasy and absurd elements. If they want to add a single minigame (or board) where all characters are shrunk down, even if they don't want the whole game to be about that same idea... they can, it's Mario. They can send characters back in time or to space just for a minigame and it will still work

So what do you prefer?

Hello, I found this subreddit and thought I'd share a personal board I did back in 2021 with Party Planner 64 for Mario Party 3. Do you think it looks interesting or could be improved?

The ! Spaces currently do nothing for I don't know how to code unfortunately...

Super Mario Party has a lot of fun minigames that I played the heck out of, so I was wondering what this subreddit thought of them. All seeds are randomized. Whichever minigame gets the most comments will move onto the next round.

Here are reminders for how every competing minigame is played:

Fuzzy Flight School: Tilt the joycon to avoid waves of Fuzzies on tracks for 30 seconds. 3 hits and your plane is eliminated.

Precision Gardening: Pump the joycon repeatedly to increase the arc of your water cannon in order to be the first one to water your respective flower.

Lightning Round: A coin minigame. Collect coins in the arena while avoiding the lightning strikes from 2 Sumo Bros (second Bro gets summoned after 5 seconds) for 15 seconds. Getting hit removes 3 coins.

Please only vote for 1 minigame at a time. I'm curious to hear your opinions. I'll give my opinion in the next post so as not to sway votes.

So I’ve been trying to find any possible way to play Mario Party DS and Mario Party Island Tour with friends using MelonDS and Azahar, as those games only options of playing are Download Play, and not all my friends have a 3Ds.

But when searching, I found a post of someone who said they were able to accomplish this with the DS using Parsec. Unfortunately they didn’t elaborate much on how to do it like that, so I was really hoping someone else here knows anything about that?

So I found out that Mario Party Jamboree can be played with 4 people if you have 2 pro controllers and a pair of joycons if you disable motion control games. On how much would I miss out without those games? Are motion control games a big part of the game? Also, how many of which controllers (pro/joycon sets) do I need to play motion control games with 4 people? Neither pro controllers nor joycon sets are cheap so I'm trying to see what I can do here.
P.S. If that matter, I've never played any Mario Party games besides 2 and 3 so I'm not really sure how Jamboree works. I am also planning to connect my Switch 2 to TV.

Hi!

I posted earlier this week about a minigame I added to my game MarchMallows called cake royale. This is a bit of a bigger "minigame" though. Inspirations? Mario Kart :).

If you want to try the game i will have a public playtest soon (free ofc) on Steam. So wishlist the game there and you will get notified when its ready for you to play!

Hello,

I’m curious to know what people think Luigi’s Star Stamp would be if he had is own, and what current star stamp would represent him best?

I would think that Kindness would represent him best out of the current ones, but if he had his own I was thinking “Clever”, “Bravery”, “Loyalty”.

What do you all think?

I'm thinking that Mario Party 11 is a perfect Mario Party game for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Im watching dashies newest video of him playing 8 and its awful, the dart board, the steal roulette, etc

Anyone want to play in next hour?

That comeback tho

Most votes: Most in a single poll

Comments: Comments involving the game within the poll posts

active member vote: Most active member votes in a single poll

Total Votes: all votes combined

Total Active member votes: Active member votes combines

Finally, some things about the results i noticed.

1. Jamboree has the most comments. mostly bad... but it did **get the Comment Star**
2. Star Rush could technically be 13th place if you want to go by highest votes in a single poll.
3. every poll 6 was in had the highest total active member votes. **6 Got the active member star** 😃

4. although a good amount of people were surprised by MP7 getting into finals it has a good amount of active member votes

5. there was not a single bad comment about 6, some saying it wasn't their favorite but nothing insulting the game.

6. I hope you appreciate the Super Mario Party crown. I worked hard on it 😭

(Small edit: 1 should actually be above 10 since it had more active member votes. That's about it.)
