Mario Party: Difference between revisions

* ''Mario Party 9'' (2012).

 

* [[Abandon Ship]]: In ''Mario Party 2'', this is played straight in a mini-game of the same name.

* [[The All Seeing AI]]:

* [[Always Over the Shoulder]]: The tank games.

* [[Amusement Park]]: Toad's Midway Madness in 4.

{{quote| '''Koopa:''' This {{color|yellow|Star}} was broken up by {{color|red|Bowser}}, and he even wrote graffiti all over it! [[And That's Terrible|This cannot be permitted!]]}}

* [[Art Evolution]]: The first three games had simple, flat boards with simple 3D-ish models. The fourth game had a 3D background, but all the paths took place on the same metal walkway. The latest games now have the paths incorporated into the boards themselves.

** Hell, there's a video where Luigi wins six minigames in Mario Party 2 ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6PxRwgjzZw by doing absolutely nothing.]'' A youtube search for "wins by doing absolutely nothing" will result in plenty of videos with the same premise.

** In the minigame Ground Pound in the first game, the computer always ground pounds an incorrect pole after each one they get correct, no matter what difficulty they are set on.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Over the course of the games, Koopa, Boo, Toad, and now Shy Guy and Kamek have all gone from helpers to hosting the game to being playable characters.

* [[Aside Glance]]:

* [[Betting Minigame]]: The Battle mini-games. All the players has to forcibly bet a set number of money (if they have less, they lose it all) and have to play a minigame. The first place winner gets 70% of the jackpot, the second gets 30%, and a random player gets any coins that were lost in rounding.

** ''Mario Party 3'' featured Game Guy minigames, where you are forced to wager everything you have and you either [[All or Nothing|win a multiple of what you wagered or lose it all]].

** Horror Land from ''2''.

** Boo's Haunted Bash from ''4''.

** Boo got it worst of all. After becoming an [[Ascended Extra]] to playable character, he was knocked down to Board Hazard in ''9'', not even getting to be a boss or host. [[King Mook|King Boo]] got to be a boss, though.

* [[Did Not Do the Bloody Research]]: In ''Mario Party 8'', the line "Magikoopa magic! Turn the train spastic!" in the Shy Guy's Perplex Express board game initially caused the game to be recalled in the UK, where "spastic" is seen as an insulting term for the disabled. It was changed to "erratic" in later releases.

** That's not everything. It's probably [[Accidental Innuendo|unintentional]], but in ''Mario Party 3'', if you land on a Bowser Space, the screen will cut to Bowser doing his trademark merry dance. ''Most'' of the time. Some ''other'' times, you'll catch him lying on his side, his head on one hand, his other hand on his hip, with one leg stretched and the other raised. Think about that. It's [[Ready for Lovemaking|a familiar position]], and it's somehow both extremely uncomfortable and ''hilarious beyond description.''

* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Bowser's minigames in ''Mario Party 4'' are called Darts of Doom, Fruits of Doom, and Balloon of Doom.

** E. Gadd's Garage from ''6''.

** Bob-omb Factory from ''9''.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]:

** Toad and Bowser in the first game. Mario's and Yoshi's stages revolve around making sure you hit the right one.

* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Very Hard or Super Hard, depending on the game, and usually needs to be unlocked. The AI is clearly better at some minigames than others.

** Brutal Difficulty in later games.

* [[Hostile Show Takeover|Hostile]] '''[[Hostile Show Takeover|Level]]''' [[Hostile Show Takeover|Takeover]]: Waluigi's Island from ''3'' is implied to have belonged to Luigi. The board is even similar to Luigi's Engine Room from the original.

* [[House Rules]]: If you want to make this game even more chaotic than it already is, try the ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario]] [[Fan Nickname|Party]]'' option and [http://www.youtube.com/user/pokecapn#p/c/B1BDB829106343E1/0/qEeZnNweh0M turn the minigame tutorials off].
