i struggle to find things objectively WRONG with this one compared to the other gamecube mario parties but honestly? it’s just kinda ugly

My first Mario Party game, and it is probably one of the best ones in the entire series. Most of the mini-games are the best in the entire series, like booksquirm. I love the music and all the unique boards that change up the game. I always played this one with my brother and sister, had a lot of fun.

Also with the game itself, it is one of the most fair Mario Party games. If you are good at the mini games and good at the strategies of the board, then you can win. But also if you don't win, you can still come back with Genie Lamps or chance time. It is really balanced and fun.

If I ever have to play Toad’s Midway Madness again, I might just end it all

I want to like this game but I always find myself playing any other Mario Party I own.
The mini games are great! But it has some of the most boring maps in the entire series. I also don't like the abundance of mini and mega mushrooms you get compared to Mario Party 3's fantastic item selection.

I know it's a good game but I perfer most other Mario Party's.


There's regular video game padding and then there's "you have to beat Story Mode eight times in order to get all the items for your special treasure room" Mario Party 4 padding. Why this Mario Party put such a focus on making sure you played with just the CPUs that many times is beyond me.

Decent Mario Party otherwise. Love Booksquirm. Hate the mega/minishrooms. Also I was very impressed with the water graphics in this game as a kid.

Win or lose this was fun for nobody. I now realize how good Mario Party 3 really was.

For a first appearance on the Gamecube it's not the greatest one. They managed to screw up the pace and any game takes hours. Not great.

a good mario party game in general

I've only ever played even numbered Mario Parties

Um bom Mario Party no geral (especialmente os minigames e modos extras), mas a mecânica do Mega e Mini Mushroom não me agradaram muito

Never my first pick for a Mario Party but not bad.

aayyyy another 4 for another great Mario Party. I probably played this one the second most of any MP game. Good times.

Tiene muy buenos y variados minijuegos (aunque si que hay unos de machacar el boton bastante jodidillos) y le sienta bien a los personajes la potencia que supuso la gamecube en su momento.

Pero mi principal queja viene de los mapas, se sienten todos muy parecidos entre si, literalmente todos son, algo de fondillo que nisiquiera se aprecia del todo bien, mientras vamos en casillas en una especia de pizo flotante que tiene el mismo color en todos los mapas, solo cambiando ciertas mecanicas (una ruleta, una especie de vagoneta de ataudes, etc, siendo la unica diferencia notable).

Indiferentemente de eso, pues, me gusto, en general, tiene buen equilibrio en general, pero si los mapas fueran mas como los de 64, mas unicos, seria posiblemente el mejor mario party a mi parecer, cosa que el 3 sigue, posicionandoce como el mejor de la saga bajo mi criterio (aunque el 1 tiene un sentimiento onirico en sus mapas que es el mas ambiental) en fin.

PD: ¿Porque coño reciclan bowser big blast? TODOS ODIAN BIG BLAST!!!

Formerly my favorite in the series. I just haven't played this in so long that I don't feel right putting it up any higher, but I do know it's deserving of this score at least. This game is in that awkward phase between the N64 Mario aesthetic and GameCube aesthetic which gives this one such a unique feel that I really like. Also gave us Dungeon Duos. Hell, that might be four stars on its own.

A festa sem graça do Mario

was fun, my brothers and i used to play this together and when i won they would get sooooo mad

receive an earnest desire to slay your friends with a meat cleaver

pretty good

I could technically mark this abandoned because there's absolutely zero shot I get all of the character items for full board set completion, but I seriously doubt anyone would blame me for that lol

I don't remember as many mini games as I do with MP6 but I always liked the one where you rapid smash A to break through all the stone guys

Look, I played one round of this and it ended being the worst board on top of the most middling so-so minigames I've ever played in the series. Maybe one or two good minigames, the rest being mediocre or just terrible. That was enough for me.

But that opening movie is definitely something to behold.

I wish this game got a re-release, this is my favorite Mario Party ever

The shittiest Mario Party I've ever played.
It's slow, the boards look like shit, they dropped a tonne of items, the board gimmics scks, the mushroom concept is the worst idea they ever had

I hate Mario Party 4. I rly like Mario Party, but 4 is the one, you can scare me away. F
ck this game.

I feel this discord between the large crowd, who like this GAME and me.

Why? Just tell me why?

The only positive I see is that they have some of the greatest mini games ever & DK is playable. That's all.

If you like the old N64 Mario Party formula, then this is the last game to follow that, really. This game is basically an N64 Mario Party game but on the Gamecube, so that is honestly pretty cool. While this game upgrades a lot of things from 3, they added a new game mechanic with the mega/mini mushroom system that drastically changes board design and what items to use, so I'd day its slightly worse than 3 at worst, and on par with 3 at best. The battle boards from 3 are also completely gone, seems like that stuff was a one-off thing. Anyways, it's Mario Party. If you think that the newer Mario Party games have too many gimmicks and only own a GameCube for some reason, then hey, you can't go wrong. This mario party game definitely has its own unique vibe compared to the other games in the series for sure.


Great time, one of the absolute best Mario Party games.

Mario Party 4 is the start of what I consider the best era of Mario Party; the Gamecube era. The n64 games are decent, but I feel the GameCube ones are significantly more fun. Mario Party 4 has pretty decent maps, but the best part of this game is definitely the minigames, they're really fun in this one, not too many bs luck minigames and lots of fun creative games. After only playing the n64 Mario Partys for a little while, this was the first time I considered myself a fan of the Mario Party series

this game made me a gambling addict after playing goombas greedy gala

This series was a staple of group gatherings for a significant portion of my young life all the way up through college. Every entry I've played has been a blast to play with others and complete crap to play alone.
