Mario Party - The Thread

Anyone a fan of Mario Party? Of getting your friends together to play a nice game of any MP?

The first three are for Nintendo 64 and the next four are for Gamecube. They also have one that is not multiplayer for GBA.

Discuss your opinion on any one (1) or more Mario Party games, or share your memories with friends or of single player on any one (1) or more Mario Party games.

Living in a college dorm right now, I have met more than one group of people in a room that have played Mario Party this semester. I have seen a room all play MP1, a different room play MP5 and another room play MP6. I played MP7 this semester. I can't believe it's pretty well known. But it makes sense because the late one (mp7) gets into the top 20 sales all the time.

Mario Party 1 - First one I saw I had some friends of my family's kids bring over this game. I havent seen it before until they brought it over. I thought it was cool as I watched them play a full game. I mean, I am afterall a huge mario fan. Getting coins, stars. What a concept!
Eventually I bought it and played it with my brother and the friend I have that I have known for the very longest. The year was 2000.

Mario Party 2 - Barely played this at all. Moves much more slowly including most mini games.

Mario Party 3 - An extreme improvement and changed Mario Party games from then on. I mean, they added items. This game is a whole lot better than part 1 because of this. It even has more maps and many new gaming modes to play. Played this in late 2001 - 2002.

Mario Party 4 - Came out in late 2002, I played this more than even MP3. The reason why is that I got even more friends into MP games and the specific one i used for that was this. I played this for a solid year, and often.

Mario Party 5 - Came out in late 2003 and didn't feel that it was as good as the previous two, but it definitely had some great items and maps. The idea of putting an item on a space was excellent, except retardedly you can land on a space that you put down, thus adding insult to injury.

Mario Party 6 - Came out in late 2004 and had Mic Games! This is one of the best to me because of the night/day idea and using items on a space put your picture on it, thus, you cannot get screwed by your own space anymore.

Mario Party 7 - Came out in late 2005. Same ideas with using items on spaces and having new mic games. Took out dueling in the last 5 turns of the game though. It has many great new mini games though, so this is the one I play as of late.

Mario Party Advance - Wasn't too bad playing it alone and getting through very small mini games. A fun game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Interesting Kirby. I should honestly think about playing MP2 more as I'm kind of biased against it right now. Should give it another chance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yup. That 8 people mode is pretty fun.

I'm sure i left out plenty of stuff on each game. But I was just giving my opinion away as to what sticks out in memory.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
