Mario Party 6 is a brilliant party game. It combines a lot of the series’s best ideas with new, interesting innovations to create a cohesive and fun game that is sure to provide a fun experience. So, Mario Party 7 has the tough task of following Mario Party 6 up, while also being the fourth and final Mario Party game on the Gamecube. Is Mario Party 7 a continuation of those brilliant ideas in Mario Party 6, or does it fall flat? Well, welcome back to Mark’s Rec Room, where today we’re talking about Mario Party 7 - the one that tries new things. Thanks so much for watching and supporting this series. This one took longer since it's a good 10 minutes longer than all the other Mario Party videos, so I really hope you enjoy it. If you've read this far, comment your favorite Mario Party 7 minigame. :)

Thanks so much for watching this long video about Mario Party 7! What’s your favorite Mario Party 7 minigame?

@ivanzoneBR24 Год назад

Fun Run of course. I love it so much

@mlghardcolt9865 Год назад

Track n yield

@cbgplays1777 Год назад

Fun run, the final countdown and shock absorbers

@tobekontinued7090 Год назад

Battery Ram or Monte’s Revenge

@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 4 месяца назад

Fun Run. I remember it being the very first minigame we unlocked in this game.

@brandon112400 Год назад

Lmao, you can’t be doing Florida dirty like that😭 23:12

@SpeedStar1642 3 месяца назад

To be honest, I'd consider that the 8-Player minigames to fill those other 4-Player slots up too. As I always play the 8-Player mode in Mario Party 7, these felt like extra free additions you actually unlock at the start.

@TheThirdDaySH Год назад

Me and my bud played sooo much 8-player MP7. We'd each play two characters and play it like a standard 1v1v1v1. Having control over two seperate charcters on a board made for a really cool twist on the game. Legit excited to see what you have to say about my personal favorite, MP8. A lot of people don't like that one...

@marksrecroom Год назад

that’s super fun haha - i do think 8-player mode is really cool because it gives players opportunities to create unique experiences that no other Mario Party could really offer. Thanks for watching!! I hope to not make the wait for the Mario Party 8 video very long haha - i hope you enjoy it when it does come out!

@TheSourMelon_ Год назад

I just finished binge-watching all of your Mario Party reviews and I have to say they are incredibly well done. Not enough people are doing long form in-depth analysis, and I was surprised to see you only had 1000 subscribers. Keep up the great videos, you're going to be really big one day!

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching!! i’m so glad you enjoyed these retrospectives, I really like making them! I should have a new Mario Party one out soon hopefully

@Nzcade Год назад

You should review Oops! Prank Party, it is the last ever party game ever made by Hudson Soft before they went defunct, and it is Mario-Party inspired and has 100 minigames and it is by the same developers of Mario Party. I hope the creator sees this because Oops! Prank Party never got a review and it is underrated!

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks for watching!! That might be something to consider… 👀

@bea_chan 25 дней назад

A year late, but can you also review the Wii Party games? They're a couple of Mii party games that NDCube developed before they initiated the trash age of Mario Party.

@Froglad_714 10 месяцев назад

It's so funny that with the battle minigames, you have Monty's revenge and the final countdown, some of the best minigames in the series, and then... deck hands. Great video, man.

@TheJiljo Год назад

YES, been waiting for this and love how long it is. Really looking forward to your MP8 analysis, that one was a massive part of my childhood

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much!! i’m so glad to hear that you liked it!!

@ivanzoneBR24 Год назад

Mario Party 7 is currently my favorite Mario Party game (despite I love MP 3, 8 and 9 almost as much as 7) The reason why is mainly because I love all the boards of this game and there are amazing minigames in this game like Catchy Tunes, Fun Run, Target Tag and plenty more. I also love the game shop and all the interesting collectibles. Its funny because all the other games I mention has pretty great extras and a story narrative that I enjoy, and yet 7 is so consistently good and so I prefer it.

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching!! Mario Party 7 definitely has some great minigames and some well designed boards for sure. even if i might not rank this game as my favorite in the series and have a fair amount of critiques with it, I do think that there’s a lot of ideas and content here to appreciate!

@eclipses3131 Месяц назад

That Peach and Daisy art work is 😮‍💨 god damn they are so badass. I wish we got more peach and daisy games where they can work together. Something like Mario Wonder where they can kick ass together ❤

@codyssmith73 Год назад

You made a lot of good arguments about 7 that left me surprised & understanding. This was the first Mario Party game I owned, so I mastered these mini games & learned to love these boards despite their flaws. I honestly think there’s a lot 7 offered that the dev team for Mario Party should try to implement in a new game, but you made a lot of great arguments regarding the flaws that exist. Also, does me picking Boo every time I play 7 make me a cheater given it’s S-Tier player orb?

@marksrecroom Год назад

i’m glad that you found the thoughts in this video to be interesting and understandable, even if you may not agree. I also can totally see how Mario Party 7 could be a favorite for some people, as I do think there is a good amount of things to appreciate despite my critiques. Thanks so much for watching!! also, nah it doesn’t make you a cheater LOL but it does give you a good competitive edge, picking the character that has (in my opinion) the best character item in the game!

@elius1548 2 месяца назад

Tbh I like having semi-predictable bonus stars like in MP7/8. I think 5/6 is a good number so that you can keep them in mind while still not being totally sure of the results till the end. Do wish there was no shopping Star tho.

@dimanthehedghog 5 месяцев назад

It's honestly wild how accurate your rankings are, literally the only difference I have is 5 slightly above 4

@bemiatto67 Год назад

This is such an underrated channel. Liking in hopes of the algorithm bless your channel. Looking forward to more videos. Any other series you were thinking of looking at?

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching, I greatly appreciate it!! i’m definitely looking forward to putting out some more stuff, some in this style for games like wii party, sonic shuffle, etc. but i do have some videos in the works that are a bit different too! i hope you enjoy them!

@jacanaable Год назад

Koopas tycoon town board from Mario party 8 is the better version of windnuvill, and one of the best boards in the Mario party series.

@thehussiteking Год назад

I'll never prefer this game to 6 because the character orbs are super busted for some of the characters, the duals are terrible since you can't choose what you lose/gain beforehand, and the mic spaces suck. I also don't like the koopa kid spaces, but it's not that bad. I think the boards aren't that great, except for Pagoda Peak and Pyramid Park. My favorite minigame is either Fun Run or really any of the dual and 8 player minigames. They're all really fun. Great video Mark, keep up the fantastic videos !

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks for watching!! Yeah while there is a lot to appreciate about Mario Party 7, for me there’s an equal amount of things to critique. Your minigame choices are absolutely on point though for sure!

@CrazyWario16 Год назад

Cool video. Fun fact mario party 7 was going to be port to Wii but unfortunately they couldn't do that because of leak of time because of the realease mario party 8.

@Giran_0 Год назад

Mario party 7 will always be the best one, it's literally the last Mario game i bought

@goldenyoshistar1 2 месяца назад

Imagine if they did 8 Player Mario Party in a future game. 8-player Mario Party 7 was a test, for when the future Mario Party game releases with this gimmick back.

@blueocten Месяц назад

As someone with a lot of nostalgia for MP7, I feel like you did a really good job giving an objective review of the game. I love this game, but a handful of things really hold it back a bit. I think if they ever bring back 8-player mode (which they really should in my opinion) they should give the player the option to choose between 4 teams with individual controllers and independent movement for each character, or staying together as a pair with or without separate controllers. (I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one to think that fun run is peak Mario Party)

@Imirui 5 месяцев назад

I believe the duel system was made worse in 7. You determine what is for stake after it happens, and one of the options on the random wheel includes *absolutely nothing!!* Mario Party DS somehow has it even worse than 7 despite having it happen before the duel game, since the stakes can be set so that the player in a lower place has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. The player in a lower place can have a star be at stake even if they don’t have one, so it becomes a duel minigame for a star steal. If they defend their star, they get jack shit for it.

Amazing Mario Party reviews man

@johnnymind4151 Год назад

Finally caught up on all your previous Mario Party videos (which were all fantastic by the way)! I didn't get 7 when it came out for some reason (couldn't find it and/or didn't have the money), but luckily I eventually found a copy at a convention. I'm so glad I bought it because it's such a unique if sometimes flawed experience thanks to its exclusive mechanics and modes while keeping a lot of great elements from Mario Party 6 and accompanied by a quite strong selection of minigames (made even stonger by turning off the awful mic minigames), couldn't agree more with your ranking of it (and of the other games so far)!

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching!! I'm so glad to hear that you've enjoyed the Mario Party series thus far, I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series with the subsequent games!

Top 6 Boards: 6- Bowser's Enchanted Inferno 5- Pyramid Park 4- Windmillville 3- Pagoda Peak 2- Grand Canal 1- Neon Heights

@femgramnya 8 месяцев назад

i love your mario party videos, ive had a big interest in the game basically my whole life and ive learned a ton from all of them, even though i already knew a lot i somehow learned a lot more too which i love to do and personally, i think that if bowser time was implemented better on neon heights, maybe he would double the amount of the effects in the chests (not sure abt the back to start one tho, maybe theres a dupe added), or add more chests to have more confusion, or maybe the chests move a bit every turn (like a 1-5 die is rolled and all of them move whatever they roll), i think thatd be pretty neat and on windmill ville i think it would be a lot more interesting and fun if he swapped the places of windmills (esp if the board layout was better) although, i think it wouldve been better if these are possible effects of bowser spaces as opposed to a *bowser time*, though its also fine on bowser's enchanted inferno so idk

@GretchenGoebel 7 месяцев назад

You can actually skip cpu minigames via an option in the options menu

@starman1270 Год назад

I do agree that Mario Party 7 is weaker than Mario Party 6, with the thing that hinders it the most being that it uses a similar formula to 6, but adds more randomness to it for the sake of randomness. For example: Bowser Time, how duels operate compared to previously, how bonus stars became more unpredictable, etc. I also feel like the day/night system of 6 not only added to the boards, but the mini games as well which 7 lacks. With that all said, I still really like 7 with its great mini-game selection (though I do personally prefer 6 and 4’s selection), great modes (though I do prefer the solo mode in 4 and 6), theming, and board gimmicks. I also liked how they expanded the amount of unlockables in 7 compared to 6 as well as keeping the orb system (character specific orbs aside). Overall I feel as though 7 is a great Mario Party game, though if I were to rank the Gamecube Mario Parties it would be this: 4, 6, 7, and lastly 5. With that out of the way, fantastic video and I can’t wait to see your video about 8 as I’ve heard very polarizing things about it!

@ivanzoneBR24 Год назад

Why do you like Mario Party 4 the best? The vast majority of the boards of that game truly sucks, the Mega and Mini Mushroom system isnt good at all and having to play the Story Mode 8 times to complete the game is super frustrating. The only enjoyment I had was the minigames and thats it, I gave up playing that game because how bad it was comparing to the other ones.

Fun Fact: According to ZoomZike, the pedestals in Bowser’s Enchanted Inferno are predetermined. Meaning it doesn’t matter which one you pick , either you get to the end or you don’t.

I never realized how few 4-player mini games MP7 has. I love a lot of the mini games on this game. It felt like there were more. 23:12 Florida?! 🤣

@marksrecroom Год назад

yeah that’s aomething that i’ve always found to be weird about Mario Party 7 - its minigames are great but i do not understand how they decided to split them up by genre. Thanks for watching!! PS - I’m glad you liked that joke hahaha

Are you also going to do retrospectives of Mario Party 8, DS, Super Mario Party, and Superstars? It would be truly awesome if you’re able to do retrospectives on those titles as well! Keep it up man! Very underrated channel to be honest!

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching, I greatly appreciate that!! Yes, my plan is to do a retrospective for every Mario Party game, including the games you mentioned above, the 3DS games, and maybe even Mario Party E hahaha. I look forward to making those videos and i hope that you enjoy them when they come out!!

@Nawaf-KFC_94 Год назад

@@marksrecroom Btw, what’s your nintendo switch friend code, psn, and xbox gamertag so I can add you? 😊

@MatthewSmart Год назад

I'm gonna be more brief with my opinions on this one since I'm making videos on the GameCube Mario Party games myself and would rather not give a concrete statement purely from memory like I have previously, especially since my views on Mario Party 4 have changed ever so slightly. What I can say is that I felt 7 was similar to 6 in being nothing bad but nothing exceptional either, though that's likely my nostalgia being stronger for 4 and 5 than it is for 6 and 7. There are some solid minigames here with my favorite being either Fun Run or Spider Stomp, but the lack of 4-player minigames does dampen things when there's even less than 4, which already had a small pool of minigames. I'm excited to revisit the rest of these games in due time.

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching, your mini game choices are phenomenal here for sure. It’s cool to hear that you’re doing videos on the mario party games as well - hopefully you have a lot of fun getting to revisit those games, I know that I have haha. Thanks again!!

@monopolyrubix1875 Год назад

@MarcusTheFunnell Год назад

Great video! Out of interest if you remove the mic mini games would the mini game mean score be the highest in the series so far? Seems like the mic mini games are dragging the average down a bit especially the 4 player mic games.

@marksrecroom Год назад

Thanks so much for watching! Good question - removing the Mic minigames brings the mean score to 6.01. so still not quite as high as Mario Party 4's 6.44 but if you play without the Mic turned on, you are getting a better set of minigames (in my humble opinion)

@cowboyluigi5275 10 месяцев назад

I’ve been loving this series so far, and besides waiting to hear your overall thoughts on Mario Party 6 (my favorite one), I was also looking forward to your opinion on the 8-player tag team! I’m glad we’re both on the same page about loving the concept in theory, but expecting more from it in practice. I admired your idea about having 4v4 and 2v6 minigames; how do you think the board gameplay could’ve been improved? Although it would be nice if each partner could move independently from each other, having 8 players take a turn would double the length of an already slow game. I guess each partner _could_ take their turn at the same, but that would break one of the biggest fundamentals that makes up Mario Party. I really hope Nintendo revisits this mechanic someday. For 25 years, Mario Party has stuck with the max 4 player limit, whereas Mario Kart and Smash only continue to get larger and more inclusive. As much as I prefer Mario Party, I gotta say I often end up playing the other two with friends simply because there’s more than 4 of us.

@callinater6133 Год назад

The triple shroom orb also lasts one turn longer than the magic orb. I think an argument could be made that it’s even better than the magic orb as roadblocks in general aren’t an issue that often. As long as you’re not hitting a thwomp orb or a zap orb I think the triple shroom is better all around. In a Tag Team match I think there’s no debate that the triple Shroom is stronger since you only have one team to worry about when it comes to roadblocks.

@Wario_Guy 10 месяцев назад

I feel like on the GameCube they just made too many Mario Party’s and they all look the same. I know they’re all radically different, but they pumped them out. 2 years without a Mario Party was not an occasion to miss

@MorphBaller388 4 месяца назад

I feel like you’re ranked most of these mini games, way too low, and a lot of your reasoning for why your rank them alone either doesn’t make sense or is just a very odd opinion. Like I said, balloon busters was like that was respect blast but worse, there’s no luck involved, it’s all skill. There are very few mini games in this game. That would be below five I think.

@MegiDolaDyne 20 дней назад

Mario Party 7 is a mostly great game that just has no respect for your time. Whose bright idea was it to bring back single player minigames for the 8 player game? Why do the board events take so long? Why do the mic minigames take so long that you're better off just leaving the damn thing unplugged? I feel like this game (as well as 8 which keeps some of this game's issues) was in many ways partially responsible for the move to 9 and 10's terrible car. Because while the board game mechanics are good, people would just lose interest during other players' turns, so hey, how about we make turns faster, and also make it so that your opponents' turns matter a whole lot more? Sounds good in theory, right? Besides the whole thing where it led to 9 and 10.

@mallow2902 Год назад

I disagree that Windmillville should just let you choose your path, because then players would just constantly chase their opponents to the three star windmill without much variation. The map already has a problem with players going behind grabbing what people in front just bought.

@JimmyFantage 6 месяцев назад

I'm sorry...is 7 better than 6? Or it's worse than 6 but not by much?

@lightninja4795 Год назад

Also i am confused on why its a bad thing to have 6 bonus stars because watch this Minigame star you get by winning minigames which you want to win for star and orbs Shopping star and orb stars. You are going to buy and use orbs too so these can be easily worked towards. Lastly the running star. Just buy some mushrooms here and their in the shop and worked towards it that way. As you can see the minigame shopping and orbs stars are connected to each other Win minigames, buy orbs, use them. Just buy mushrooms sometimes plus mushrooms are items you will want. When you given a chance of a happening or red space take the opportunity. As you can see the minigame, shopping, and orb stars are connected to each other and can be easily worked towards and same with the running star by buying mushrooms. Yeah the happening and red space are luck depedent but the happening star has always existed before 7 so whats wrong with having a 2nd bonus star for a space.
