make no mistake when i say I Am A Mario Party Expert And Yes I Have A Mental Illness. this is the closest the series ever got to having a perfect party game before feeling the need to bog down every sequel with sometimes good and sometimes incomprehensible changes.

if i knew how to program and could change a few things about this game (item mini-games, no repeating mini-games, quality of life changes, etc.) that i have been thinking about for twenty years of my life (oh god why am i like this), i would have the Definitive Mario Party that would still be played at EVO to this day
