i always forget that this is one of the good ones lmao

Metro boomin make it boom

I have never wanted to kill my friend more than after losing a star to them after getting utterly classed in an incited Duelo Candy minigame.

I'm so blessed whenever I play mario party I win. I lose every once in a while but even if I'm in 4th the whole game I always clutch up in the most bullshit way possible. I think mario knows how much money I've given to nintendo and so he rewards me with good tidings. Bless him


secretly hate this game dont tell anyone

Gosh if it wasn't for the motion controls this game would be so peak. Some of the best boards in the series in my opinion, great mini games that I kinda wish didn't force motion at times, amazing roster to choose from. This game is close to perfection if not for the motion controls.

With the success of the Wii, a Mario Party installment on the system was pretty much an inevitability. And although I haven't played it in a long time, I remember it being another fun entry for the series. The board variety kept up strongly too ---- racing to buy up hotels in Koopa's Tycoon Town & hurrying to the end of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk stand out in my mind for sure.

My favorite Mario Party game, not only because it was my childhood, but for all the good things the Wii gave to this saga.

I played the hotel map and it's easily the best part of this game :)

probably ass but idc this was my shit back then

in the tycoon town. straight up "jorking it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. My wii remote

definitely not my favorite mario party

They made a Mario Party on the Wii, so of course they had to heavily feature motion controls. I personally never found the controls frustrating, but I certainly know plenty of people who did. Definitely past the point at which MP had exhausted itself, the boards are mostly retreads of ideas from the previous game, although it undoes some of the bad ideas from the late GC era. Doesn't achieve the heights of the N64 games, but is probably the MP I've played the most since its on a newer console.

Le hubiera puesto 4 si no lo hubiese tenido que jugar con mi hermana

Mon Mario Party préféré, sans compétition. Le mutli aide beaucoup pour le coup, on peut faire du multi et still avancer dans les nécessités pour compléter le jeu. Et ça c'est très cool !

This game looks pretty bad, but hey it was the Wii. I love Shy Guy Express and Koopa Tycoon, but I cannot say this game is as good as 5 or 6. It did have playable Blooper tho, not even Super Mario Party had that!

The end fight goes so hard.

This game has such a unique aesthetic to it and idk why. Maybe if it relied less on motion controls this would be the best Mario Party


Nostalgia for this game! Forced motion controls were not it though!

Mario Party 8 is a weird one. It has the shiny new graphics of the Wii and some decently cool visuals undercut by this weird semi-realistic artstyle and the game being forced into 4:3 as a result of being rushed onto the Wii last-minute (even though Mario Strikers ran at 16:9 on GameCube). The orb system is replaced with candies that are basically worse versions of the items from 2 through 4 but the transformations are charming. There are some really good minigames with the most obnoxious forced motion controls a Wii game released in 2007 can have. Koopa's Tycoon Town is a top 5 board in the series and the rest of the boards are either straight lines or bad.

I kinda like it. It certainly has its charm, but it clearly had a lot of troubles in development and is a major step down from 6 and 7.

Maybe remember what widescreen is? Boards are awesome but the minigames are almost all exactly the same thanks to the motion control pandemic of the late-2000s.

Despite it feeling more like a gamecube entry, this is a very serviceable Mario Party game.
