The Hardest and Most UNFAIR Mini-games in Every Mario Party Game 

I instantly liked when you acknowledged the existance of Mario Party DS.

I’m sorry but the stupidest mini game in 1 was the crane game, impossible for humans and the ai just always gets 1/3 of your coins

“Platform pearl”

My personal picks: *Mario Party 2:* *Abandon Ship (4P):* A race to the top of a sinking pirate ship. Except it's quite a broken minigame that was clearly never tested properly and it shows. Cheep Cheeps jump out at you which are pretty much impossible to avoid, and at the end for some reason you can lose speed (unless you really button mash) allowing another player to swipe in and steal the win from you. *Roll Call (4P):* Count how many Toads, Boos, or Bob-ombs are on the field. Except this can be quite a difficult task as they run around everywhere (there's a few fakes sometimes but still), essentially making it pretty much random. This is one of those minigames that I can pretty much count on losing for exactly this reason. *Archer-ival (1-vs-3):* The team of three are picture panel targets that slide around, and the solo player has to shoot at them. The NPC Toad, Boo and Baby Bowser targets (as well as fellow teammates) can easily back the three players onto a side of the target board to where they are unable to get out, giving the solo player a guaranteed step to victory. The targets also move slowly meaning the solo player is overall guaranteed to win. *Mecha-Marathon (4P):* Wind up a Mecha Fly Guy and send it as far as you can. Except the required input of mashing A and B at the same time is not intuitive meaning you're likely to lose unless you have serious two-button mashing skills. *Mario Party 3:* *Tidal Toss (1-vs-3):* The solo player stands in a boat and makes waves, which the team of three has to jump over to survive. The solo player has an extra mechanic which allows them to ground pound to make larger waves that are mostly unavoidable. Because of this the solo player is pretty much guaranteed to win unless the team of three all has uber reflexes. *M.P.I.Q. (4P):* Answer quiz questions about the game correctly 3 times to win. Except most of the questions are random and not stuff you would remember off the top of your head (such as what time you currently have in a certain minigame). If you get this one, pretty much expect to lose. *Curtain Call (4P):* Memorize the order of Goombas, Koopas, and Boos on the stage and answer the question Toad asks correctly. The questions Toad asks can tend to trip up your memory quite a bit (such as "Who was the fourth one from the right?" in a lineup of five characters). In a nutshell, more brain use than you would think is required on this one. *Stacked Deck (Battle):* Another luck-based minigame. Flip a card and hope it's right. *Game Guy minigames:* Land on a Game Guy space and you're forced to gamble all your coins and play one of these. Should you lose, all your coins will be gone and you'll have to start from scratch again. *Mario Party DS:* *Trace Cadets (4P/Duel):* Draw every shape on the grid to win. Except it's quite finicky in that it won't recognize even the most accurate of shape drawings half of the time. Your lines need to be absolutely perfect in order for the minigame to recognize the shape and count it. I eventually got this one down and didn't find it too hard after a while but seeing as this is not the only comment talking about it I had to mention it. *Power Washers (1-vs-3):* The solo player controls two hoses which the team of three must run and jump around on a plate to avoid. The solo player can easily mix up their directions at any time throwing the three players off. After the second hose comes on, it can be quite difficult for the three players to survive meaning the solo player is likely to win. *Short Fuse (Battle):* Avoid blowing up the giant Bowser bomb to win. There is some degree of skill in that players can deliberately blow on the fuse harder to ensure it's just tiny enough that their opponent gets eliminated, but otherwise it's pretty much luck.

Someone hasn’t seen ZoomZike’s Identifying Luck: Mario Party series

Something tells me this was kind of half-assed. The multiple misnamings of minigames helps back this up.

Bowser's big blast was the hot shit tho. 10/10 would blow up again.

I always lost Flip the Chimp from 8 to even the easier computer players because the motion controls on that particular minigame were so finicky, it was so frustrating

50%Of the video:Hardest Mario mini-games 50%History

It's extremely difficult to win Bowser Party as not Bowser in Mario Party 10.

Copycat: Shock Drop and Roll is really hard Me: Yeah, the 1 player has it so roug- Copycat: Specifically hard when on the team of 3 Me: wat

I’d rather see the actual hardest minigames in each game than every random minigame in each game

Another rage inducing random game from Mario Party 5 is the duel game ‘Get A Rope’. Ah, yes. The computer won my star because it... picked a rope correctly. Got it. FABULOUS.

The 8 player hot potato game must have been their attempt to stop people from hanging onto the bob-omb until the last second. It was just executed poorly

I swear, all these minigames have such weird names. References to pandemics, Biblical iconography, and well-known horror media.

For Shock Drop and Roll, as the Runaway Guys showed us, all you have to do is spam jump in place and you as the three people win every time. Also, for Mario Party 3, I'd will 100% put The Beat Goes On over Messy Memory.

4:28 Computers never die in that minigame

Bruh, winning as the three in shock drop and roll is more than just easy, it's almost guaranteed if you're even halfway decent.

4:02 No. It's hard for the ONE player because the team of 3 can just jump spam to avoid falling off.

What about that scissor game in mario party 8 that was completely random???

Heat stroke. How isn’t anyone talking about fecking heat stroke

I'd have to disagree with your assessment involving shock, drop, and roll. I never win as the 1 against humans, because all my friends do is jump constantly.

I love how everyone else's opinions are completely different from this list lol. If I made a list like this, it would be filled with mostly luck based mini games... but there's also the rocket launch one from 9 and the tug of war one from super.

I wish there was A super smash bros party including miis MINIGAMES AND ACTUALL SMASH CHARACTERS

For bowsers big blast, theres a technique as simple as three words: “Always go green”

0:59 Mario Party - Platform Peril (difficult) Pipe Maze (Luck) 2:09 Mario Party 2 Honeycomb Havok (Luck & Skill) Bowsers Big Blast (Luck) A Day at The Races (Luck) Sneak and Snore Shock drop 4:30 Mario Party 3 Messy Memory (Challenging) Merry Go Chomp (Luck) End of the links (Choose wisely) Boulder ball (3 vs 1) 6:05 Mario Party 4 Booksquirm (fun and challenging) Hide and Go Boom 💥 Chain Chomp Fever (tough) 7:18 Mario Party 5 Vicious Vending (random) Random ride (random) Squared away (team of 3 easier) 8:33 Mario Party 6 Draft Rafts (difficult) Pitfall (duel) 9:42 Mario Party Advance Shell Stack 10:31 Mario Party 7 Take me Ohm Bomb-Bombic Plague La Bomba 11:40 Mario Party 8 12:40 Mario Party DS

Hearing the words "Slip Knot" in a Mario game wasn't something i thought would or could ever happen

For the shock, drop and roll one some people have figured out for the 3 man team is if you constantly jump at the top of the roller you can mitigate a lot of the player one's influence and you have enough time in the jump animation to react to the changes so just jump a lot on that game.

You forgot Roll Call, Bob-omb Barrage, Coconut Conk, Blame it on the Crane, Big Top Drop, Curvy Curbs, Beam Team, Ray of Fright, Conveyor Bolt, Spray Anything, Battery Ram, Cut from the Team, Trace Cadets and Smash and Crab.

there was this mario party 8 minigame called "cut from the team" that was completely luck-based and used to give me so much anxiety while playing it

The drumming 1 v 3 in Mario Party 10 is literally impossible to lose as the controller

the HARDEST one for Super Mario Party is definitely the stupid tennis one, the 1 player has the biggest racket and the 3 others have such small ones, i’ve never won on the team of 3

Shock, Drop and Roll is winnable if you are the group of 3. In fact, if you play close to perfectly, the "1" can't do anything about it. I'd say it's one of the best balanced 1v3 minigames for this reason.

Copycat: Shock Drop or Roll, which is specifically hard for the team of three. That's because the solo player is in control of a giant turbine, and all they have to do is to mix the speeds effectively, knocking the other team off. ZoomZike: Sadly this minigame is not in the solo player's favour if any of the three player's knows this trick. The trick is to stay in the air as much as possible, so you aren't effected by the turbine nearly as much.

I hated Get the Led Out from Mario Party DS I could never beat the expert bots

I'm surprised they Cut From the Team from 8 wasn't mentioned. It's completely luck based.

Excellent video! Would love to see more like this!

I’m surprised Bash n’ Cash isn’t mentioned for Mario Party 1. If you want to see unfairness for the solo player, Bash n’ Cash is the most scary for any solo player. Being held tight in a circular arena as a massive bowser avoiding being beaten into bankruptcy by the trio’s mallets has been one of the most scariest of things. The only way of defense you have other than running is a jump, which has a cooldown after being used. This minigame can legit bring your coin count from 100 to 0. And by the way, a well timed mallet swing can hit you while in the middle of jumping or landing.

Disagree with Boulder Ball in MP3. It’s very easy for the 3 players. If you run behind a player that got hit, it will prevent them from moving back. Once you get halfway up, it’s all but a guaranteed victory. Credit to ZoomZike for this tip btw.

I'm disappointed rotisserie rampage from Ds wasn't even mentioned. It's literally a remake of shock, drop, and roll!

While I didn’t grow up with the older Mario Party games, I played Mario Party 8 a lot as a kid and from my experience “Flip the Chimp!” is the hardest and most unfair.

1:08 technically it was released in December 18, 1998 but only in Japan. It was later released in North America on February 8, 1999

Here's a tip on how to win Messy Memory: If you relate the objects to an auditory cue, you'll remember it better. I know this because in a show I used to watch called Brain Games, they had a game that's very similar in idea to it.

Feels nice to be early for the video repost!!

Whenever I played Shock Drop and Roll with my friends, they'd usually win as the team of three no matter what I did as the one.

Oh come on Everyone knows that the hardest and most unfair minigame in mario party 1 and 2 is chance time

I'm surprised you missed all four of the most unfair 1 vs. 3 games: Big Top Drop and Curvy Curbs from MP5 and Ray of Fright and Crate & Peril from MP6.

On Mario Party DS, the game Get The Lead out is basically impossible if the computers are on expert mode

I used to be good at the pipe maze one as a kid. Today I would have to train my mind to MAYBE be able to know which pipe it is.

Bowser's Big Blast is just so stressful and makes me anxious for no reason.

I found impossible to win the swimming mini-game in Mario Party Advance. You have to reboost the little fish's motivation. An other one on Mario Party 3 a 2 vs 2 one player must to pump and one player must to spray water. I never won this mini-game.

Yay! Another upload!

In Shock Drop or Roll, you can win easily as one of the 3 by constantly jumping. You're not affected when you're jumping and you can jump immediately as you land. It takes pacing, but I've won it every time that way, including on the Mini-game Coaster.

Thank you for making this game link.

You should have said Heat stroke mp5 that minigame toooootally favors the solo player!!!

The most difficult mini game for me, I will forever remember having been in Mario Party 1. It was that minigame where you have to fish coins and treasure chests from the ocean, which were moving. I remember it so vividly because it was in Minigame Island. I think you had to get more coins than any other player and I just couldn't get the game right... it was so hard to aim right and even when I managed to aim, to get the coin or treasure chest to your character, you had to rotate the analog stick! That was impossible to do fast enough with three NPCs set on hard without using your palm, so I played this minigame so much that I burned my palm... just because of the dumb rotating. I know why they got rid of the rotating starting Mario Party 2, my palm probably wasn't the only one getting hurt because of a stupid hard minigame that used that feature.

u gonna get a play button soon! gcongrats

i just noticed that mario party is full of puns lol

I loved 10 to win!!!! You could follow the high value cards by keeping your eyes on them when they move around. This was not random! Love your videos btw

I see the trend... 1 v 3 minigames are constantly unbalanced Also, you didn't mention that the Star Rush minigame Shooting Stars sometime just decides to give a player like 40 auto balls and it is hilariously unfair lol

Pfff Platform Peril is one of the easiest of MP1...

Mario Party DS had this one FFA minigame where you had to draw shapes to fill a big square. This was really wonky and I could almost never beat it.

I really liked this video :) thank yoy

Arent we gonna talk about the Boo escape in MP1? Twirling the joystick gave me a big blister in my palm.

I forget the name, but there is a free for all game on Mario Party DS where you spin on the touch screen to throw a cherry. You can almost never beat the computer, even when they are on easy. Same with the one where you slide down the rail on a leaf

You mentioned Merry-go-Chomp due to pure luck, can't forget to comment Cut From the Team (8) and Stacked Deck (3).

I remember gusty blizzard and fast food frenzy on the ds being the banes of my existence

Shock drop and roll is hard for the player on the control panel. In that minigam, no one can make me fall from the platform.

Whenever I'd just get to trash shoot I'd just press a and drop in the ground because it was rng. Also have you ever thought on doing a video just on Mario party ds minigames?

I’m surprised for SMP section, he didn’t even at least mention the name of Drop Quiz. This is almost an guarantee easy win for solo player as it’s hard to keep track of fast toads and koopas that are holding fruits and memorize it. To add insult to injury, the questions get harder so you have to pretty lucky to get all questions right.

World 7 in Mini-Game Coaster in Mario Party 2 is hard, and Abandon Ship is hard to pull off a win. Shock, Drop or Roll is easy in my opinion as the team of three when you can just keep jumping on the cyclinder through the mini-game. The solo part of that game is difficult though. Each of us have our own opinions of our own experiences playing these mini-games through the series and while a mini-game or two is hard for one person or more, it can be easy for others.

Messy Memory from MP3 is one of my favorite! I have a great visual memory so I always won that minigame! ✨

I love your videos keep it up

Mario Party 1: Running of The bulb IS still The hardest for Me. Especially when You have The bulb and The 3 Others are ghosts

Drop Shot is team of 3 advantage. Because if you go in an oval it's very rare that the solo player hits you.

Mario Party 6 is my favorite. I grew up playing that. 6, 8, 9, DS and The switch are the only Mario Party games I’ve played.

I like this channel. 👍 I am ace at grab bag and cast aways. Haha

Have you never played the jump rope minigame in Mario Party 8? All you have to do at the solo player is spin the remote as fast as you can and you win!

Mario party 9 was my childhood even tough i never played it

Rail riders Get the lead out Trash landing That minigame with the cherries Short Fuse That 1v3 minigame with the rubber ducks Dust buddies

Bash N Cash is the most unfair EVER

Mario Party DS, let's go! Also you should use proper punctuation and capitalization in the description.

Great video

14:18 In the beginning you can remember where are the high ones and look where they will be moved, it's hard to do, but I was able to do so with one card at the beginning

I don't feel like including luck based games as they are more frustrating than hard. And if there wasn't a "hardest" standout I skipped it. Anyway... MP1: Pipe maze and the claw machine game vs. computers (yes pipe maze is part luck but someone does get a "skill" chance... it's near impossible to track the path tho) MP2: Sneak and Snore, and Shock drop and roll MP3: Boulder Ball as team of 3, and Hand, Line and Sinker as solo player (found that hard to control) MP5: I always found Chomp Romp hard when I was younger. Also Big Top Drop. MP7: the multiplayer Bowser games and Battery Ram MP8: Flip the Chimp (uuggh controls), and Sick and Twisted (we had a lot of near misses where it looked like we should've made the platform) MPAdvance ... I found a lot of these hard when I was younger and it took me a while to master. But I remember Switch Way prob taking the longest MPDS: Trace Cadets (feels like it often didn't read the traces properly) Super MP: Tow the Line MP Superstars: Sneak and Snore (again)

The pipe maze minigame from Mario Party 1 isn't even luck based. It's unfair because if you're good at pathing and you're the 1, you basically choose to win. Otherwise you're at the mercy of the 1.

Mario "Hope I don't die today, in a minigame" Party

Abandon Ship in Mario Party 2 is brutal. As is Crane Game.

All the random mini games do have something to tell you if you're right or wrong. It's called anxiety.

I don't know why but I honestly love slip knot :0 Well... maybe because I always winn ;)

Well Mario party should have categories to its minigames such as: *Luck-based/Guessing and *Strategy Anyway future mario party games should have many playable characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario and Waluigi are obvious) the other character being: *Koopa *Dry Bones *Pom Pom *Boom Boom *Monty mole * Boo (depending on minigames) * Birdo *shy guy *Bros (hammer, fire, ice and boomerang) * Koopanings

Chump Rope. I survived Power Trip, but never Chump Rope. This game is *HEAVILLY* advantageous towards the solo player. Not only you can make speeds insanely high for the three players to struggle to keep on with, but you can mix up the speeds to trick them. For the three player advantage, Gun the Runner is easy for the three players, and it requires the solo player to try to trick the three players, while also complying to the time limit.

I'm surprised u didn't put the hide and sneak minigame down for MP3. While u sometimes can determine where a player went due to the movements before the curtain drops it usually changes character's positions last second. I think it's a lot worse than boulder ball. Tbh I don't think I've ever lost a game of boulder ball as a team, and I've only lost as the rock thrower a couple times. Still rlly love this list though haha

Dunno if anyone would count it as a minigame. But the one where you have to cycle to get a light on to defeat the boo. I remember never being able to win it due to how fast you had to rotate the stick.

Half the list made it into party Allstars 😀 and most were favorites of mine anyway

The Mario Party 6 mini game is actually called PITIFALL, with an I. Like a combination of Pitiful and Pitfall.

From MP7- One game I ALWAYS lost was DK's Vine Country. I pride myself on my button mashing skills, but for some reason, my char hardly climbs fast at all in that game and most of the time it's DK who wins.

Excuse me??? Where is In The Nick Of Time?? Where is Flip The Chimp???

Wait- For a Mario Party 5 minigame, of all the 1-vs-3 games that exist... Squared Away over stuff like Heat Stroke and Curvy Curbs?? Interesting I guess
