when we were young, playing mario party 5, my brother and i once lied to our neighbor that it'd be better to skip buying the star so that she could have more money next time
Look, Mario Party had some friends about to go to war, especially that one with the windmills where you could buy out their star for like 1 coin more than they paid.
This is so true. It wouldn’t be a good Mario Party game without wanting to both have fun with your friends and hate them with all your heart at the same time.
i find when it’s getting to the end of a particularly long run with a few people that’s where i cut off, it feels like being held hostage on the second to most recent (jamboree i believe?) 😭
reminds me of the time i and a few friends played mario party 8 at a sleepover
only 3 of us total were awake so we had a cpu as the fourth player, we played mario party 8 on koopa's tycoon town for 5 hours only to end up teaming on the cpu toad (it won anyway)
"Looks like your strategy was coming on top in minigames!" The amount of times I've seen Toad say that with a straight face and yet I somehow lose against a Waluigi with luck on his side :(
Its incredibly fun until you start losing ;3 stole my partners star the other day. She hasn't played with me since and says I cheated when I bring it up
Love when you’re winning, so then all three other players just nickel and dime away at you and suddenly you’re in last, then you get the bonus stars and finish 2nd. Such a lovely feeling.
On Christmas 2004, my cousin and I decided to attempt a 50 round game of Mario party three on the Nintendo 64 at 1 AM… We made it 37 rounds and he didn’t speak to me for a year until we attempted to play again, I beat him, he moved to Florida, 10/10 great game! 0/10 for not pissing family off
One of the most painful experience I've had wasn't even mine, it was when my boyfriend couldn't get off the starting island on megafruit cause he either kept rolling 0s as Diddy or if he did get moving, something forced him back. Of course, the rest of us only laughed at his suffering😌
This is why I do my part to make Mario Party as excruciating as possible. Is that purely for other people? Yes. Is it my problem after that point? Not particularly.
I just learned eventually to never assume I'm winning at Mario Party and never get my hopes up for winning because it always feels like something inevitably goes wrong lmao
Once, i spent the whole game tied with my brother-in-law with 3 stars. the game was about to end when my partner gets her second star. Toadette floated away and landed right in front of my bro. He gets his 4th. Game finished. I was dumbstruck.
I play it with incredible friends so it's always fun, but I can imagine it being he'll if played with people who take it too seriously, or not seriously enough
I feel like I should be playing pretty casually, but then a button mashing mini game comes up and I’m suddenly the most competitive person in existence
Nah Mario Kart is a threat to human existence. The moment the wrong person gets hit with a blue shell after being in first the whole race, we're all cooked
So true, @thechaosspirit.bsky.social! I played Mario Party 1 for the first time in years a while ago this year on my Nintendo Switch OLED and I won and it was so much fun!

i then bought it when it was my turn
she moved away after that
only 3 of us total were awake so we had a cpu as the fourth player, we played mario party 8 on koopa's tycoon town for 5 hours only to end up teaming on the cpu toad (it won anyway)
we all hated each other by the end
"Can we please play Smash Brothers or Mario Kart"
