Mario Party 9 was another problem with this series of polls as it has 7 boards so I tried my best to get the results accurate to the comments and the upvotes.
-
DK's Jungle Ruins (No one commented this board as their favorite so this might be the lowest ranked board from these)
-
Bob-omb Factory (The only reason why this is higher then DKJR is because it was mentioned in a comment as someones second favorite)
-
Bowser's Station (Only 1 comment for this board)
-
Boo's Horror Castle (1 comment with 5 upvotes)
-
Toad Road (1 comment with 7 upvotes)
-
Blooper Beach (3 comments with 16 upvotes)
-
Magma Mine (This easily won by a landslide with 9 comments and well over 150 upvotes)
Ok 9 wasnβt the best. I just said it to be a little funny but obviously it backfired and I canβt change the title so Iβm just going to have to live with that forever. So anyways about the other 2; 3, 6 and Superstars. Why were they top 3
I am still doing this despite it being over a month since I've made the last one of these posts lol. This game was kind of harder to rank because of the car mechanic making all of the interesting design choices somewhat luckbased. Also, after thinking about it, I decided I am putting the boss minigames into my rankings here because there are some boards where the boss minigames are required to be that board's bosses. There are also a lot of features in boards I'm not mentioning, because I just don't really care about them, a lot of these features don't change my opinions on the boards much because they are mostly luckbased.
7: DK's Jungle Ruins: This board even despite the mediocre board selection, still manages to be the clear loser. I'm just gonna get the obvious thing out of the way: THIS BOARD TAKES 15 MINUTES TO COMPLETE!! The boards in this game are already way too short with all of the others taking about 30 minutes each, but 15 minutes takes about as much time as the minigame modes in this game. The "boss minigames" are also literally just coin or in this case banana minigames with DK and Diddy. And you also loop around the board twice, meaning you loop around the same board, defeating the purpose of everybody traveling together. The captain event is a fun one but it is kind of easy tracking the barrel with the most bananas.
6: Blooper Beach: Eh I don't really hate this one compared to the others, it just feels the most luckbased out of the bunch imo. I don't like the ending section where the mini stars keep getting replaced with mini ztars (yes mini ztars are actually a thing, it's the minus mini stars) and vise versa. I'm also not huge on the beginning part where the Dolphins and Sushi are both there, switching each other's spots, dolphins give you mini stars, and sushi take your mini stars. I think it's neat but nothing more than that. The captain event is also mostly luckbased, as whether you get to the end of the section or not and get the mini stars is based off of your dice rolls, which are obviously luckbased.
5: Boo's Horror Castle: This one I just don't have much to say about. The Boos chasing you gimmick is mostly luckbased, but there is a slight bit of strategy with trying to sabotage your teammates from it. The ending section can be kind of annoying, because if you are the captain and do not roll high enough to get to the final boss space, then you have to circle around the entire ending part of the board again, and you will pro
... keep reading on reddit β‘Personally I think itβs a great addition to the series, even though that seems to be a very unpopular opinion. Iβm still curious on what other think today though.
As always with these kinds of posts, feel free to comment if a minigame you like isn't on the poll!
Mario Party 9 was done dirty in MPS... it has my favorite minigame selection of the mainline games and they didn't to a good job representing it! Only 4 minigames and 2 of them aren't even that good! Here's to hoping we get Logger Heads, Peak Precision, Skipping Class, Skyjinks, and Card Smarts as DLC.
What the title says, also they would all come with an alt charecter. Sonic would have shadow, Steve would have alex, pac man would have ms pac man,mega man would have a mega man varian, and ryu would have ken.
I feel like 9 was done so dirty with its selection. Like how can you not add Peak Precision it's iconic! I was excited to see 9's best minigames make way in a better Mario Party but I guess only 2 of the ones we got were good.
The minigame lineup actually utilized motion controls well, the soundtrack is fantastic, it actually had a lot of good ideas that could be expanded on, like reverse minigames and boss battles, good board ideas and themes, and the Dreaded Car isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, at least for me. There's alot of things to do in the game in general. Also you can play as Kamek in 9. Can you play as Kamek in Mario Party 5? No you cannot.
You could bring up 10, but everything that 9 did right doesn't exist in 10. The music isn't as good, the minigames are just... fine, the boards are lame, Bowser Party is a good idea executed HORRIBLY, and amiibo party is an insult. It's really really just lacking in content.
It was honestly a really good change of pace, and I like the car, I think it has tons of untapped potential that not even 10 reached (in many cases it made it worse, but that's for another day) and I feel like if it was fleshed out the right way, or was just made into a side mode, people would appreciate it more, even if it is still bad
What are your thoughts on 9?
Vroom vroom, here comes the dark age!
Today it's MP9. Thoughts on boards, minigames, characters, items (oh god), side modes and more?
Lol I actually quite like MP9 so this could be interesting.
Now itβs time for a little game of spot the difference! Get a question wrong and youβll get crushed. (Literally.)
Todayβs rejected minigame is Odd Card Out from Mario Party 6.
Last time we started with Mario party 10, the Mario party of car getaways for Bowser and amiibo party. Snake Block Party won, with Bob-Omb Bogey, Cliffside Crisis, and Murky Maze tying for second.
List 2 minigames you would like to see return as DLC for Superstars from Mario Party 9! I pick Smash Compactor and Hazard Hold.
Don't hate me but i like "Mario Party 9" because it haves good minigames, maps, Toad as a playable character. (I know you can play him in many games of the series but i love him so much, I like the system too., ...
Missed opportunity to make this a detective-themed board, but I can deal.
Howdy neighborino! Yesterday ended with Neon Heights beating Goomba's Greedy Gala 86-39. Today's poll is King Boo's Haunted Hideaway (MP8) VS E. Gadd's Garage (MP6).
Before you scream at me, itβs not a bad game. Just different.
