Best mario Party?

[Waluigi]

So, which mario party is best? Not counting the portable ones, only console.

Here are my opinions:

N64
1: Has fun to it, but horribly unbalanced at times and some weird minigames (that you need to buy to play)
2: Very good, boo was very broken though, but fun and the selection screen has epic music. Shame it had some bad battle games.
3: My favourite n64 mario party, Fun, duel mode was awesome and i loved a lot of maps (boo was fixed as well)

Gamecube
4: Easily best gamecube, close to, if not the best of them all. Perfectly balanced 1v3 minigames, Fun minigames (excluding bowsers bigger blast) and apart from those teacups on toads midway madness very good maps. Fun extra room as well.
5: Fun, very well done. All the extra modes are good and the boards are not half bad. Minigames are good. I loved the car game. Donkey kong was ok, but not being able to play as him sucked. That is made up for by the awesome new characters.
6: While decent, the minigames were dodgy at times and solo mode was way too short to warrant lots of playings. The day night aspect was interesting, but the boards were not.
7: Only mario party i have not played. From what i can see, it is ok, but i dont know

Wii
8: Everyone hates 8. Its ok, but the boards were boring. Solo mode sucked. The train board was okay. The typhoon board was the best, but felt unfufilling. Bowser board was too luck based, Even when you get to mario party. Pretty bad.
9: Everyone hates 9 and so do i. Changing an already stable formula was dumb. The minigames however may be the best in the series. not recommended unless you plan on playing minigames.

So, whats your opinion?

Out of console only... I'd have to say 7.

 

[Hyoshido]

Mario Party 2.

Platform Peril, I miss it so much ;~;

mmmm, Mario Party 7. It's such a good Mario Party, very well balanced, fun mini games. Just a great game overall. <3

I would say have to say Mario Party 8. They had a very good roster of characters to choose from and I liked many of the boards for that game. I also think that the motion controls were well done for the first Wii installment.

But I love all the Mario Party games. Except the Game Boy Advance one. I think the DS Mario Party was done nicely as well.

In my opinion Mario Party 7 has the best boards and has the best orb system. While I think Mario Party 6 has better minigames and is a close second, I only replay 2 of the boards in that game. While in Mario Party 7 I play all but 1 (Pyrmaid Park sucks.)

I absolutely loved Mario Party 3! The maps were so enjoyable, I love the selection of items and the minigames were great too! think I like Mario Party 2's minigames because it doesn't have memory games like Mario Party 3 lol!

Mario Party 4. Every now and then I'd start up my GameCube just to play a round of it. Fun games, boards, overall a well put together Mario Party game. My friends would come over to play, and end up spending the night. Mario Party 7 came in close second.

 

[Alienfish]

4 or 6.. cant really decide. whichever had that fun minigame where you could camp like **** when shooting each other lol

3 is the best one out of all for me.

But 9 is just nearly as good as 3 is. I really enjoyed the new board concept they used for 9, but I hate how they took out some of the characters out of their rosters. Blooper, Dry Bones, and Hammer Bros is understandable... but why Toadette and Boo?

8 is terrible and Advanced is great.

mario party 8 was my favorite, but i also hate it with a burning passion at the same time. i played it just last night with my mom and brother, and because we played the king boo map a lot of it was left to luck. you dont know whether youre headed to a pitfall or a star, and that pickpocket pinball can easily steal a star from you (and thats exactly what my mom did to me). i also like that the concept is easy enough to grasp. I also love the koopa map because i personally loved the whole buying hotels, real estate idea. it's a little too much for my mom to wrap her head around though. and while i do like mario party 9, i've found its not as exciting to play with my family/friends as 8 is. i dont get as involved in 9 as i do 8

I actually think that Mario Party 9 has the most amusing mini games out of the whole bunch. There is a large variation of them to select from, and the little "bosses" that you would fight every now and again was quite fun as well. However, the outcome is too often decided by sheer luck - Especially when moving around on the boards - And therefore there is no guarantee whatsoever that the best player will actually end up winning. I truly hope that they will move the series towards more of a "Fun-but-skill-based" future.

 

[Alienfish]

Because Toadette and Boo are too OP? lol

 

[Waluigi]

Wait. People like 8 and 9 more than the epic 3 and 4?

Wat wat wat wat wat 65 watts

 

[Hyoshido]

I remember when I get Mario Party 4 on my Birthday, Such a good day for messing around on.

I still prefer 2 Ofcourse.

 

[Gandalf]

Mario Party 2.

Platform Peril, I miss it so much ;~;

Still gives me nightmares :S

Hot rope jump was another old favourite in my childhood.

Whichever number the GameCube version was. I enjoyed that one the most out of all Mario Party games I've owned. c:

3 is my favorite, and 9 is my second.

But I find 8 to be crap, due to their mini-games but Mario Party 8 have the best character roster. Haha.

I do hate the mini-games that requires you to move your wiimote, and point your wiimote at the screen. Gimmicky as hell. (good examples of mini-games I'm referring to in MP9 is Speeding Bullets, Twist Ending, or Goomba Bowling)

4, 5, 6, and 7 is for GameCube version.

4, 5, 6, and 7 is for GameCube version.

Well then The one I'm thinking of is where each character has their own special orb power thing. Mario party 7? I think
