I love this idea and the execution was pretty fun. Making Mario Party minigames into bonus stars is so clever, and the Mario Party 1 boards are fairly diverse so you don't really feel like you're retreading ground in terms of level types.

However, and I'm not sure if this is my computer or settings or what, I kept having minigames crash on me. I couldn't do the one in DK's Jungle Adventure because it wouldn't load, a few of the ones you buy in shops wouldn't load, and probably more I'm forgetting, so I just can't finish this fully. Hell, even the final boss fight with Bowser I couldn't finish because it chose a minigame that wouldn't load.

The palm tree fight was incredible.

this was fun and very cute. the mario party maps are fun to explore and there were some cute stars and the mini games were really fun and creative. there was a big of a weird/not as fun difficulty spike in the last world and the final boss fight. but the boss was cool and unique, i liked the gimmick! i just think maybe there needed to be like 3 lives on it or something before full reset. fun little rom hack though, i got all 70 stars (you only need 40) and it took me like 3 and a half hours. would recommend! this review is also gonna be my vehicle to say parallel launcher and romhacking.net is amazing and i'm so glad it exists. makes romhacks so much more simple and fun to play.
