Ranking Every Mario Party Game 

8 is the best

8 is goated no doubt. Nothing comes close

Yeah 8 is fun. But I’ve also never played some of the ones he put above it.. so they might be better than 8. All I know is 1-3 are definitely the best.

But anyone saying 8 is the BEST one? Definitely didn’t play 1-3. Probably started with Mario party 8.

I grew up with 9

As somebody who played the three mario parties, i completely got what he was saying with that comment.

Pirate Doge, I actually get what foreal1992 means. He means the story is actually shown in the game instead of being forgotten like Super Mario Party.

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

@@IUseRandomPfps with your help, we can stop this.

It was actually pretty funny watching Jon over at Runawayguys playing this. Mostly because I think Jon would consider DS one of the worst at what happened and how much heavier the RNG is for the game. I honestly loved it when I was younger but now I see the flaws the game has and consider some of the RNG to the level of Mario Party 9 or 10. But not as terrible as those games.

I played it in my childhot alot. And you could share it to other players without them having the game. Me and my best friend played it all night long. Really miss those times.

Honestly it’s the best one

People talking about Mario Party DS should focus on the gameplay and content, not the fake anti-piracy thing

I think my copy got stolen from me in high school 😢

MP8 is trash

Fax

@@generaljf7233 ok MP1 fan

@@legendarywiimaster MP1 is my 3rd least favorite Mario Party from 1 to 10 lol. 8 has the worst minigames (with MP1 haha) and the boards are recycled concepts from MP6s and MP7s done worse

A few people

He said 4 is the one he grew up with

@@Greenglower2012 I doubt that lmao, his nostalgia for the N64 era is clear in every video

@@JoeDan54 oh yea my mistake. He said he played 4 first but that doesnt imply he grew up with it

@@lol-ih1tl Well I feel like the reason NB brought it up here is that it's especially apparent with Mario Party, considering the design philosophies of the games.

I grew up with 1-5 I grew up in the N64/GameCube era but MP3 was always my favorite lol

I never played any of the Mario Party games growing up

Mario party 10 was my first and yes, it is my favorite

I grew up with Mario Party 9 so it's my personal fave

DS is ma boy. Love it

Mine was Island Tour. Why do people hate it, the boards are great!

To me Mario Party 8 is the best polished from the Wii - Switch Era. I've only played 4, 8, 9, & Super mario Party so far in that order so I might be bias asf. If I had to base it on first glance off this review + xp + interest They don't exist to me = 10 & 9 + handhelds versions I won't go out of my way to buy a N64 = 1, 2, 3 Still better than 10 & 9 = Super Mario Party I'd definitely buy it to try it = 5, 6, 7, superstars Nostalgia trip = 4 & 8

I'm really glad

Agreed

Legit. Make MP8 for switch. Better graphics. Polish the boards a bit. Maybe give them a few new fields. And much more minigames. Dont need to develop a whole new game. Just remake the old games but make them better with the new technology we have (I mean graphics and minigames etc.). Maybe throw in 2 new Boards just for fun and lets go. Perfect MP in my eyes

Or just remake the DS Boards. I almost forgot how much I loved the game. And the board were great.

Amazing in which game? Super or game cube?

@@7Kazi7 cube

And 7 is actually the slowest game of all of the GCN games. Which is saying something of Super

lol

True

ik mario party 8 is my fav

Mario Party DS is #1

You mean linear.

It’s definitely one of the least flawed in the series. With that being said, as great as the minigames are, the 1v3 minigames for the most part are dogwater. Half of them are unfair for 1 side. Block and Roll is a pain if you’re the solo player

Same logic for me and MP10

I also played Mario Party 9 :P

​@@lemonquackloloh god that is depressing

Same

I grew up with both Mario Party 8 and 9. I prefer 8, but 9 isn't that bad.

mario party ds is mine

Not the case for me, my favorite is Super Mario Party but my first game was DS

My favorite is star rush, even if it is *objectively* bad

Agreed.

Agreed. I think Mario Party 9 and Super Mario Party are the best.

Yes...even super mario party 10 and 9 but they still are terrible game

@@puzzledhypnoshroom1004 yes super mario party is great but...mario party 9...? Yes thats your opinion but its weird for me that some like mario party 9 10 and 11 THAT CAR THING SUCKS UP THE WHOLE STRATEGY THE ONLY ITEMS ARE DICE BLOCKS AND BOWSER IS NOT EVEN A THREAD

Bandy's letting his French sophistication show

*linéaire

*b a g u e t t e*

I agree. 3 followed by Mario party 2

Honestly MP3 doesn’t get enough credit. It’s always being overshadowed by MP2 even though I would say that MP3 is not only objectively better than MP2, but also objectively the best game in the series. It hands down had the best board and item mechanics in the entire series. You had so many different movement options like gate manipulation to land on a different space, action time which could be both detrimental but also useful to reposition to a different location, and probably my favorite thing of all in MP3 the reverse mushroom. The only game in the series that let you move in reverse. Honestly MP3 has not been topped when it came to mechanics.

The fact that they still haven't added 3 to NSO is ridiculous

​@@dankaroos6055About that.

Same 7 is def my favorite

The sad thing that 7 came out at the end of the GameCube’s lifespan in 2005, and the DS was the new thing people was into, so 7 was forgotten quicker than expected. It’s basically like Mega Man Zero 4, which came out at the end of the GBA’s lifespan, when the DS was already out. It hurts

It’s the best Mario party game

I grew up with 8 😎

7 is the most refined, has the best collection of maps, a great collection of mini games, and has the most content besides 8. People who rank it lower likely have never played it much because having played all of the mario partys starting with 2, I think it's arguably the objective best of the bunch nostalgia aside.

my eyes twitched a lot throughout this vid but at this point i'm used to nathaniel saying linear like that

At first, I thought I was the only one that got slightly annoyed by that.

No

I live in San Antonio where we have a Lanier high school, said just like that. It keeps messing with my mind.

I thought that’s how you pronounce it? I mean, others where I live say the same thing like this. How do you pronounce it?

God, that would be worse for him than the Mario Kart tracks

Logan Moreau You got a point.

lol

I believe that someone already did that. If that person could do it, then Nathaniel Bandy can as well.

Ranking all Mario Party Boards would be a better idea

I’m interested in these ranking vids because I don’t have nostalgia bias. I didn’t play these games growing up. I’ve played both for the Switch, I just played 9 for the first time with my girlfriend last night and we had such a great time! I like moving your character by themselves but the group thing wasn’t so bad fr.

Agreed

My favorite Mario party is 8 because the music is nostalgic and the minigames are fun

i can't believe that island tour is above 10 and 9

@@reesedub9 for me mp8 is nostalgic

1 does not deserve to be there and neither does MP2. MP7, 6, and 9 are all easily better. And Superstars is better than 1

​​@@legendarywiimastersuperstars didn't exist when this list was made. Also 2 is the best one. 9 is poooooooor

@@lpnp9477 6 and 7 are better than 2. Also, 9 is not poor. 9 has MUCH better and FAR more side modes and minigames than 2. 9 has seven boards, 2 has six. Also, the cars aren’t that bad, it’s you being pissed that it’s not what you’re used to

@@darthnerd4432 I play both! I prefer to play Island Tour on my own and Mario Party DS with friends.

For me Mario party ds is the best because I grew up with all the ds

@The Lost One that’s why the ds was epic

Couldn't say it better myself

I guess that's his schtick like the "Striving for Originality" - like come on, Mario Party 1 after what all he said was high, should've just gone all the way and said he won't care about bias, hehe.

Literally when he puts Mario Party 1 over 3, 5, 6, and 7 I knew this was a biased video.

Don’t blame him he’s an N64 nut lmao

When he puts Advance after star rush, you know thats pure bias. When he puts MP1 at second place, you know thats bs. Cmon we know it was the first game but it was also full of flaws (hem hem BLISTERS???)

9 for me.

-_- I really like 6 and 8

The DS one is the objective best. Graphics aside, it has some of the most unique and balanced mini games. Unlike some of the other mario party games, the mic minigames in mario party ds actually work super good.

​@@cool_ib8 is underrated. Way better than some of the ones this guy tanked above it

I think 6 is the best one as well

@Pepo Play yup, I don’t care if it’s not mechanically the best or if it was stale formula by the time it came out. I love it because of the memories I have of it, you can have your own favourite Mario Party but 7 will always be mine.

Same dude it had the best boards and minigames imo.

@@ThatOneDude1509 Honestly, I can't believe people are still arguing that 7 specifically is bad because "the formula got stale". Like, it's been over 15 years, and it's aged better than most of the games following it. Even then, does it really matter? At the time, it didn't matter to us. Mario Party doesn't need to change it's formula to be good, or else it's not Mario Party. I really miss those times when we just liked a game because it's enjoyable.

It's the most fun with 6 tho

very much satisfied.. now i want to play

That’s so true my favorite is Mario party 10 And it was the first one I played

Also dont hate on me but I don’t like the get to the star gimmic it’s boring

Im not a big f an of mp10 but its your opinion and i respect it

@@BetterNicholas I actually like Mario Party 10 more than most people, but that’s really only because I’m just not as big a fan of the old formula as most people. It’s still one of the weaker ones, but I actually enjoyed it, and that’s all I really care about when it comes to Mario Party

Mario party 9 my time has come

Yeah I agree. Especially hearing how he views 7 and 4, 8 should definitely be above those 2.

Exactly. To be open about it, I have not played every Mario Party, but of the ones I have played(3,5,6,7,8, Top 100, 9, Star Rush), it is easily and by far the most unique and enjoyable experience imo

I agree, Mario party 8 gave me my permanent hatred of toadette.. she beat me on the king boo board 11 times

agreeddd, 8 was so unique and creative, especially the boards like sure some might be linear but they have really interesting concepts and events (then there's boards that are non-linear AND have cool events and concepts like Koopa's Tycoon Town and the DK one) loads of extra modes that were really fun, huge character selection, i remember 8 having the unique team names too, heck even the menus are super creative. Plus the minigames were really good and had total classics like shake it up. The only thing was the controls weren't very intuitive on some of them.

My favorite boards are the king boo one and koopas tycoon town. I would play against my sister and 2 AIs in boo, and with my sister in Koopa. You always dominate in 2 player with that one. You halve the amount of hotels and give a player half. You only invest in your half (and the secret one if you get it) and it's so haywire once coins are everywhere. We boosted our hotels out of the AIs reach. So good. And we were the same 2 characters. I was birdo and she was Todette.

...hehehehe... HEHEHEHE...

Run Run There is nothing you can do Nothing

What if piracy was a party?

I hope this dosen't get milked and becomes annoying overtime

I mean, he said it at the beginning, everyone's favourite is the one they grew up with, while he said Mario party 4 was his first Mario party but we all know Nathaniel is biased towards the N64, and it's safe to assume he played them after Mario party 4, while I played Mario party 1 recently and I admit it, it's hilarious because of how brutal it sometimes is and then when i played super Mario party directly afterwards and me and my friend were so bored we turned it off after a few turns, but I also played other Mario party Games and out of all of them, I'd say Mario party 6 is the best one, but I personally grew up with Mario party 9 and only played 6 like 1 year ago. and in fact, I don't hate Mario party 9. So.. yeah, it's really what Nathaniel said, everyone is biased to the one they grew up with

I grew up with the n64, to the point where I distinctly remember the commercials. Still would never pick an n64 game over gamecube series, besides 5 over 2 and 3. Mario Party 1 is objectively the worst game until like maybe 9 or 10, containing ludicrously unbalanced coin collecting games, some of the most poorly designed 1 vs 3 minigames, rather uninspired stages (outside of eternal star), and of course, the infamous control stick minigames, that both destroy controllers and your hands.

My all time favorite is mario party 6 and i grew up with the n64 one ..im 30

Mp 1 just can’t bro, the one good board imo is yoshi’s and MAYBE Mario’s, the mini games are doodoo butter, but ig bowser is king in this game

@@gabthefisherman5030 As someone whose favorite is 5. You picked the objectively best Mario Party as your favorite. (I understand 5's flaws, it's still my favorite.)

I grew up with mp9 and haven’t played any of the GameCube but I have played the n64 and mp8 mp10 and all the ones on 3ds and I love mp9

Mario party 9 & Island Tour are the 2 Mario Party games I grew up with, both of which are criminally underrated, great mini games & music by far imo

I did play both MP9 and MP10. MP10 I was pretty hyped and excited when I first got it. But when I got MP9 I was extremely excited. Sure it wasn’t the best thing but I grew up with the mechanics and even the kart mode was very fun. This is my honest opinion and I’ve even completed a solo mode. I really hope this gets a spotlight for Nintendo Wii Online for Switch. If we even get one of course.
