I have been going through the library and playing as many different Mario Party's as i can. I have to say 3 and 6 are pretty awesome. I don't like 7 or 10 that much at all since they changed so much about the game. What's your favorite Mario Party games?

Yeah, 8 was the last one I remember enjoying. I think I tried one of the switch versions, but the boards were really boring. The fun things I liked in 8 was that the board events changed the map/pathways a fair amount.

    I forgot about the different pathways in that game. Now that I’m thinking about it, I remember enjoying that quite a bit! Couldn’t tell you what boards were there. I think one had a hotel if I remember correctly, but that’s all I recall.

    Yeah, the switch versions are…interesting. Super Mario Party I felt catered too much to what I would refer to as a “casual” crowd. Which is basically the group that wouldn’t be playing games in the first place. Mini-games were decent. Boards were ok, but not very memorable; I’d label them as basic. Definitely not a bad game but pretty far down on my list of what I would play from the series.

    Mario Party Superstars in comparison was “better” but while playing it just felt hollow to me. Seeing the classic boards reimagined was cool, but for the MP2 boards, it felt like some of their charm didn’t make it over. Still fun, don’t get me wrong, just feels like something is missing.

    Haven’t played any version of Jamboree and probably won’t any time soon.
