There's something unique about the very first Mario Party game. You get the feeling that the game hates everyone who plays it. So many weird bullshit decisions were made with this one. Why are there singleplayer minigames? Why are there 1v3 minigames, where the team of 3 can't win anything? Why does Wario's Battlecanyon even exist?

But all of that gives Mario Party its weird own quirks. It provides a sense of stupidity and enjoyment unlike any other Mario Party game. As long as you can play it with friends, you can be mad at everyone. Your friends, the CPU players, heck, even the game. But that's exactly what makes Mario Party fun.
