Fun fact about shell soccer:
There's an additional layer of strategy in that you can hit multiple goombas at once if you get close enough to them and aim at a specific angle.
Well yeah, that's kinda obvious. This is the main thing that makes it more interisting than regular soccer.
@@ely4555 Well guess Im just an idiot then
You can even get rid of all 7 of them in one kick
@@Grane1234 Maximum is 3
Duh
To be fair to Tug'o'War, just the fact that we have normal rubber capped joysticks instead of the N64's ridged, hard plastic sticks already vastly diminishes the potential for hand trauma. It's still boring though
Be unfortunate if people played on joy con's though. Seems like such a joy con drift creator.
It still wears out the controller super quickly while being kind of a snore fest. And even if you use your thumb, I'm sure the rapid circling can't be good for your joints either.
I don't get why Nintendo put these games in after they were sued about em and sent out protective gloves for free afterwards.
I guess they'll sell more joycons this way
Holy crap, that minigame mode rant was absolutely golden.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was wrong, then yes.
They did not sloppily make it. It was a good idea to add those modes.
@@jaxsterminator8634 how is it wrong lmao it’s so scuffed
@@iidoughnutholes3087 Not really. I’ve played it and I don’t have any problems with it.
@@jaxsterminator8634no opinion is wrong.
@@jaxsterminator8634 opinions aren’t facts stupid
I feel like the mushroom mix up should also get some points due to making the game accessible to colour blind people. A lot of the remixed games do that well, making it more accessible for all players.
I didn't know that! That's great, usually Nintendo isn't too fantastic for accessibility
Why did they make the wii then
@@tonymold because a company changes in like 17 years
8:50 A better way to name them is a stacker. Both the competitive Puyo and Tetris communities refer to them as such.
The main focus of the game is to stack efficiently to get Tetris' and T-Spins for Tetris, and chains and power clears for Puyo. Downstacking and Upstacking are both terms used for clearing downwards and upwards respectively in both games. The same goes for Puzzle Fighter.
Games where you add blocks or objects onto a board, or stacking, fit this category. Games like Dr. Mario and Puyo Puyo go into the matching genre, which overlaps with games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled. Zumba is an example of an action matching stacker.
Calling them Tetris games does a disservice to the games involved, like calling all platformers Mario-likes or all FPS games Doom clones.
Tetris Game examples are Tritris, where you clear lines of right triangles, and pentris, Tetris but with 5 blocked pieces instead of 4.
Source: I'm a top 3% Tetris player and suck at all the other games I mentioned.
that could refer to any puzzle game that stacks objects, while Tetris-like games, involve the matching of blocks. But stacker puzzles can work. Although I feel like tetris games are still a better name.
@American Mapping! I don't think you match objects in Tetris at all. You clear lines by stacking with them. Puyo is a stacker game because you stack up chains. Puzzle Fighter is a stacker because if you stack elements together to deal damage. There's also match type games like Bejeweled and Candy Crush, which aren't stacking games but still encompasses your definition. I think any game where things come from the top and you have to put them together in a certain way stacking games.
Also I am incredibly biased since I'm part of the competitive Tetris community full of people calling them stackers.
@@TheVeryGenericUsername What i meant by “matching” blocks, is that you need the blocks to be arranged in a certain way by color, or in Tetris’s case you need to arrange blocks so they fit in a line.
@@idkwhatnametochoose6197 Not what matching means
Hey guys how about arcade puzzle game?
Since you usually try racking up as much of a score as possible in those games I think it'd fit.
I am so glad I am not the only one who got frustrated with superstar’s dungeon duos. The original is perfect but the jumping in the new game ruined it for me. I could deal with everything else but my brother and I kept missing the jumps.
I've never played the original but I knew there was a reason why I can't beat that game to save my life
The jumping was just as bad as the original bc of depth perception
I liked it cause it added some difficulty
Correction in Hide and Sneak- The characters run randomly even in the original so you can't actually use that to gauge where a player goes.
I probably wouldnt mind SOME of the 3v1's being "unfair" on one side if there was a mechanic that skewed their odds of appearing towards helping the losers. For example, if the 1 was losing the board, they are more likely to get a game that favours the 1, and if the 1 is winning the board, they get a minigame that is stacked against them. Basically, acting as a minor comeback mechanic that actually still requires some skill.
The payout should be different. 5 coins each for the team or 15 coins for the winner. Also, in coin minigames everybody should have their own pockets
@@leonpaelinck used to, not anymore
In terms of "LOOK AWAY", I disagree. The original version of the game allowed players to rotate the character head really fast, which would make it difficult to try and track them. In the remake of this, your character head moves much much slower.
The fact that winner or dinner has the best minigame ending in the game should at least bump it up to 95th place. I don't mind the game too much honestly, it has a lot more going on than most coin minigames.
Oh my Lakitu, THANK YOU. Someone else who understands Slot Car Derby, that is in my top 10 favorites of all time and I thought it was really simple. But every time I explain how I’m getting faster than my friends it’s always “Ohhhhhh that makes sense” I don’t know why it’s so difficult to get.
Paint Kirby
It's not hard at all, it's just boring with zero interaction
As a counter argument for booksquirm, I think the change makes it goofier and that's a good thing. This whistling sound as of a bomb is falling out of the sky, only to be followed by a tiny fwip as the page lands is exactly the kind of silliness I'd expect
4:31 - Hide-and-Sneak It has always been random where your character move to before they hide.
I feel like Cut From The Team was WAYYY more stressful than Bowser's big blast because it didn't reset how many options you have.
Same
Mario party 8 reins supreme
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 100%
That is why cut from the team is better than bowser’s big blast.
4:06 Actually, they changed it from 'Spin the stick as fast as you can' to 'Try and rotate the stick in rhythm to the other players on your team'
Wait really? That's new
Will that still shatter a Joy-Con stick?
Of course!
4:06 As pointed out by Skawo when he played through Mario Party Superstars, the Switch joystick has less travel than the N64 one, so realistically the optimal rotating method _here_ is with your index finger.
"Block puzzle game." It's one extra syllable, but infinitely more accurate.
Thank goodness somebody mentioned the lack of modes. I thought I was the only one who cared about wanting more stuff to do. Also, I'm pretty sure that this is the only game without some kind of single player mode. I mean there's 10, _but we don't talk about that one._
I'm surprised how some games I hated scored pretty high and others scored really low. It's fascinating to see how opinions can differ that much.
Also, I never played Shell Soccer but it looks amazing! WHY DOES THIS MINIGAME NOT APPEAR IN THE MAIN MODE?
I never got why either! Maybe they thought it's too long or something? Even then they could just lower the number of goombas when the game gets picked in the main modes.
It's not in the main mode in 9 either. At least Goomba Bowling is in the party mode
The final challenge in MP1's Mini Game Island is pretty much the game's way of forcing you to learn how to properly play Slot Car Derby.
Mario Party seems to be improving step by step. If things keep going the route of Superstars, I'm sure we'll get a game even better than the originals
They won’t
@@obamahunter4238 they will ;)
OH BOY 60 COIN GAMES
Sucks that it had to get worse before it got better, but hey, I'm ready for good Mario Parties again.
@@dreamtraveler6135 the next mario party will be coin themed. Al minigames are now coin minigames. You can even try to collect a million coins in total and get a totally worth reward.
That fucking clock duel mini game where you have to jump over the clock's hands is the worst because it's rigged in favor of the person farther from the middle.
how is ur comment from 3 hours ago when this premiered less than 2 hours ago
Can't believe that specific game won. And from the most unexpected Mario Party, too. In fact, I sank more hours into that specific Mario Party than any of the others when I was a kid (DS aside)
Although I much prefer Goomba Bowling
8:57 ive often refered to these types of games as "puzzle block" games
I was so happy to see Shell Soccer at #1. Before Superstars I only owned MP 9 and I played the hell out of that mini game.
Nah I’m sorry it’s not my favorite minigame
The final countdown is underrated
perfect pacing (no waiting, no instant death, intenser lategame),
best mobility minigame in the game,
no rng,
Great mix between focusing on the tiles and enemy players,
short wait after death,
me and my siblings played it 30+ times on repeat, no one was frustrated and everybody won quite a bit. (second most was haunted mansion with 10 ish becouse of rage rematches)
Best mini game in MP7. That and Fun Run.
For the "bugged" hits on Chip Shot Challenge, it most likely comes from the fact that they hide the trajectory the cpu's do after some time. No idea why.
Although not all the minigames slap as hard as the others, Superstars is some of the most fun I've had with a Mario Party in a good while. Excited to see your ranking's!
I liked how you actually decided to see if the minigame got nerfed in comparison of the original version, making some of this points more fair that it should be
Also I would substract 5 places in each minigame that deleted the clouds and mountains with eyes in change of some generic landscape
“You better make that game suspenseful as all hell”
Then proceeds to complain about how long the bomb takes to explode.
If you want to be driven you insane again, you should try ranking all of the Mario and Sonic Olympic Events. As someone who loves that series way more than it deserves and actively participates in online leaderboards for them, there is a lot of crappy luck based games hiding in skill based clothing.
Smaller video would be just the London Party missions, but considering the Mario wiki doesn't even have a section for that mode (seriously not even a section on the full article of Mario and Sonic London, even though that was the big thing of that game) I don't think anyone cares about it. Those missions sucked too.
I’d enjoy a video on the DS version of Winter Olympics, honestly, ranking or no ranking. The story mode is actually really fun: you start with just Mario and Sonic, and recruit characters as you go along. Some characters are needed to take certain challenges for their own personal skills and quirks. For example, you need Waluigi to use reverse psychology to get a shy guy to spill the beans in one area, and in an earlier area, King Boo refuses to race anyone in Slalom except Luigi because he enjoys how much it creeps Luigi out
I just found out that TETRIS is now its own game genre
42:30 Luckily they actually did make a good change, they offset your starting angle so you weren't facing directly towards the player opposite you.
8:50 I would call such a game an "action puzzler": essentially, a puzzle game in which there is some time constraint by something happening without input so thinking fast is a requirement, contrasting a "calm puzzler" where you can (often) take as long as you need to think. And portal 2 would be a platformer-puzzler, which are often calm puzzlers.
Question is if a calm puzzler with a timer mechanic would become an action puzzler, which I personally disagree with.
Given your critique of Cake Factory's music, I'm surprised that as much as you nitpicked Mushroom Mixup, you never mentioned its music. The original's was so full of life, but the remake was just like "lol fast drums". It might be more "cool", but come on, the original sounds way more like a battle at the sea.
Happy birthday silok hawk!! Recently been catching up on recent videos and I've loved every minute of them,especially the mario kart track rankings. Keep up the good work.
For the mini game snow whirled, if you have a GameCube controller, it is easier to win since you can mash every button on the controller with ease. (Tip: Mash in a similar way you would do if you were playing in smash bros)
I thought the best way to mash in a gcc was just rolling the sticks
Happy Birthday Silok. I know a lot of people have been wishing you this, but I just want to mention that since I found your channel with your Top 10 Kirby Abilities, I’ve been addicted to the humor you’ve put out. You have a distinct charm you put into your videos and I couldn’t ask for much more. Here’s hoping to another year of content.
Finally someone understands how fun shell soccer is
The issue with Roll Call isn't that it just counting. The issue with it is that you can see your opponents' count. That means you actually don't have to count, but copy your opponents score. And if everyone has the same score, everyone wins, removing the point of even trying. That's why Goomba Spotting is so much better of a counting minigame because you can't see anyone's score or even count backwards. And since the counting is reactionary, you not only have to be sure you count right, but also be sure to press the button a correct amount of times.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SILOK!!
Also I want to erase Rockin' Raceway and Cast Aways from existance.
Characters without shoes will instead nail ice skates to their bare feet in the ice scating mini game
Your rant at 50:57 was pure genius. I am glad I am not the only one that ignores the lack of content in this game. I know people really praise this game for how the classic style of Mario Party has returned faithfully, but Nintendo's attempt at making like this game has a decent amount of content outside of the Party Mode by having varied minigame modes baffles me. A tournament minigame mode has been a staple throughout most of the games and just doing different minigame modes with slightly different objectives seems very tacky and is misleading to anyone who believes there's plenty of ways to play your favorite minigames in Mt. Minigames when really it is not. Between you and me, I feel like even Super Mario Party had more mode variation when it came to how you played minigames. While I do like Mario Party Superstars a lot, this game is not perfect like everyone says it is. I put over 140 hours in the game and that was mostly because the achievements were my main drive to play the game after I had my fill of playing the boards and Mt. Minigames since the lack of modes don't offer much for me. Now that I have completed pretty much all of the achievements, I am less motivated to come back to the game, even when I have friends that are available to join me. What would fix my complaints is definitely some extra content. Perhaps some more boards and more varied minigame modes.
THANK YOU. As someone who put in literal 400 hours into the game(I’m not kidding), Mt Minigame is without a doubt the worst mode out of any MP. It tries to look out extra content, but in reality it’s completely tacky, boring, and pretty soulless of it ask me. Sports and Puzzles is clearly the worst one as clarified by the amazing rant in the video, Tag Battle, and 2-v-2 match are Bascially the “tournament” mode, but not really that at all, and Coin Battle is the most disappointing mode of all.
Superstars is by no means bad, but after putting so much hours into the game and noticing the lack of content, I think the game is just okay in retrospective; definitely better than the modern MP before this, but saying it’s better than the N64 and GameCube entires is really, REALLY stretching too much.
3:49 Groundskeeper Willie: "That should do it"
and here I was thinking "there's no way Booksquirm is not number one". Pleasantly surprised, even introduced me to a mini game I wasn't aware was even in the game
Great job on the video man, really appreciate the work.
The best thing about Shell Soccer is that you can hit multiple Goombas at once if you're close to the goal zone. It's risky but sooooo satisfying
Happy Birthday Silok! Hope ur having a nice day off
Thank you! I actually haven't slept yet since I've been getting this video ready. Imma do that now lol
I love Goomba Spotting and Slot Car Derby and so glad you understand why they are so good!
I feel like Mario party 8 had plenty of good minigames to choose from. A lot of them could have motion controls easily swapped out for stick controls like in Paint Misbehavin’.
Each Mario party game should have has at LEAST 5-6 minigames representing it. The fact that 8, regarded by many as the last good one, got only 2 is a travesty.
Mario party 10 didn't do much better with only 3 minigames. That game has even less of an excuse, because there are far more games that use button controls. I think the fact that both mario party 8 minigames are 2 vs 2 doesn't help, as that's probably the least common minigame type of the three main ones.
I wished the Soda can minigame returned. :(
Did DS get any minigames? I don't remember seeing any. It's weird how they keep ignoring it, despite being one of the best Mario Party's all around. Sure, a lot of them have touch controls or other DS exclusive stuff, but definitely not all of them.
@@moralle4090 not canon/numbered.
8 has the worst minigames in the main series deal with it
Silohawk: this game doesn't work, but I hate these other games so much more even when they work
Everyone I play with hates Puzzle Party, but I love it. I feel so justified!
shell shocked is a reference to the PTSD-esque condition suffered by a lot of WWI/WWII soldiers, shell shock. sucks that they changed it but it's completely understandable.
That one makes sense but I don’t get why toadstool Titan was changed
@@motorwayt-s628 yeah, beats me. it was changed in Top 100.
@@KodaLynnGAME Perhaps to eliminate the reference to Toadstool, which was Peach's old name? I dunno, they should've called it Mega Mushroom Master in any case
@@fixedfunshow she's always been called peach, the name was never a reference to her
@@KodaLynnGAME Then I don't know, unless Titan is a copyrighted word
Hey, I like the name Tread Carefully! I might be a little biased though.
If both players cross the line at the same time in Mass Meteor, they tie rather than randomly picking someone.
And I can't believe you didn't mention that in Shell Soccer, you can hit multiple goombas with a single kick, which makes for some incredible high-scoring plays!
Ok I love these ranking videos and this video just gained my sub, Can't wait for more!
I’m absolutely loving the new avatar sprites!
I remembered really enjoying Shell Soccer on MP9, I actually found out that if you angle your kicks right you could actually take out multiple goombas in a single goal
As someone who plays with 3 other competent human beings and NEVER CPU's, I would have a vastly different ranking. But I wont insult you or say your wrong because of the different mindset and its your opinion and all. At least we both agree that Pirahna Pursuit sucks and Slot Car Derby is godlike. Continue making bomb ass content my good man.
Been watching since your worst kirby abilities countdown. Happy birthday man, so happy to see you grow and watch all the shit uve been doing.
if both players hug the right wall of mass meteor, they both win. the MP6 version uses port priority i believe
9:09 We call those falling block puzzle games
But they're not all blocks...
And they don't all fall...
10:55 I'm pretty sure this is because it's how close you are to the center, as well as how much you're facing the center. From the videos I've watched (I don't own the game) that seems to be the rule.
Hope you sleep well or that you have slept well. Btw great job with this video as always, this was a real fun one. 👍
Thanks for making me laugh, feels like I barley do that anymore.
With Flash Forward you also should be facing the camera. Luigi was facing the camera (even though his face was down his body was still facing the camera)
Always thought Mario's Puzzle Party was like a minigame-sized Columns.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one passionate about sound design (in video games)! This was a banger of a vid. I ate dinner while watching - time well spent.
49:40 thanks for telling how the game works. I couldn't figure this out by myself because the game was too hard for me to understand.
Good list, I really enjoyed it. I agree about shell soccer. I was surprised by how much fun it was.
I’m really hoping that Nintendo makes a Mario Party game that isn’t a remake of something else but is instead original with new maps and mini games (and feature older ones as well. Also maybe show some love to Mario Party DS)
I mean... They already did that on Switch with Super Mario Party.
@@jowysw Super Mario Party is not Mario Party!! Despite how similar it functions it is just the one distant cousin nobody likes to talk about but still includes in their family reunions
Super mario party was like a prototype for this game.
The only thing Im afraid of when it comes to a new mario party is that it wont live up to any of the older ones (or god forbid they bring back the car for some ingodly reason).
Also I agree, we need some more mario party ds rep (Also advance because that had fantastic minigames imo)
@@MrFancyDragon it has new maps and minigames (as you said it should) and it has "Mario Party" in the name. It's a Mario Party.
@@MrFancyDragon Similar? It is identical to other Mario Parties.
I'm glad you appreciate Goomba Spotting and Role Call.
Thank you for using the best Mario Party music, MP8
1V3 Minigames are inherently unfair because it usually boils down to the one player having the advantage or the three players having the advantage.
Yeah 1v3s are hard to balance
14:17 This one is really fun but its indeed too short. They should make it like 3 points. So when the 3 team catches him they get a point, when he scores he gets point. Whoever gets 3 points first wins. That way would make it longer and overall more fun because it wouldnt be over in just 5 seconds.
18:07 funnily enough when me and a my buddies played super star, one of them was using a game cube controller and when we got to this game he dominated all us cause he was godlike at that strat you did. Mario Party brings the weird out of us
Mario Party 9 actually had some pretty great minigames, but other then that, well…you know….
Fun fact about Messy Memory
There is a small chance that the toads steal an item from the player in first place, if that player has a significant lead.
I speak from experience :,(
Great video! One problem I have with Superstars is the fact that the graphic design seems to be all over the place.
Like, some of them (Like 23:36 ) look like a better looking, remade MP9 or a more vibrant SMP.
Yet, some of them (Like 6:25 ) look UHD, 4K, and MODERN! Well, what I mean by that is they're trying to be almost realistic.
Which, in this case, almost makes them look... Worse. It's all dull. I prefer something like 0:49 back in the Wii Era when it was sort of realistic but was clean and wasn't distracting. Though that might just be my nostalgia. That kind of Wii-Era wilderness just looks good to me. Maybe it's just the fact that I was in denial that I needed glasses when I was around 10-12 and saw everything somewhat blurry. (And also, they didn't have the technology to make the water look like oil)
"do YOU have a better name for Tetris games??" yeah, falling block games, i thought that was the norm?
Happy birthday chief, keep up the good content. Also make a update vid on that Dono, showed my friends it and they clowned on me 😂
I like how I suck at all the minigames where Silok claims I'd have an unfair advantage.
So, Match 3 games? That mostly fits the 'tetris' games more, as they do not use tetrimo, which are spefically shapes made of four pieces. Match-3 Games such as Bejeweled and Candy Crush are much more similar to the puzzle games here.
In the 3 "tetris" games they brought back here, you don't match 3 though
@@silokhawk Ive honestly always just called them match games. Which I think works for most of them, the 3 isn’t necessary.
Loved every hour ty
18:55 such a good critique man, good shit
What's crazy is that I found it way more easier to do the balloon part in dungeon duos in superstars and this is my favorite minigame too. There was really no rhythm on the old version to my discrepancy and I play this all the time
Games nowadays don't get playtested enough before they release & it shows every single time.
What does that have to do with this game tho?
To be fair, the new switch controller designs are a lot softer than the wavy sharp plastic the n64 had, so I could rotate my palm on a switch controller at top speed for hours and see only slight redness
Pretty sure the thing with other people’s aim bar thing disappearing in Chip-Shot Challenge is so you can’t cheat and base your shot off someone else’s
But it only happens with AI players, so what's the point?
Thanks for spending a month to make this video!!!! Great stuff
52:47 The solo player score attack versions of Block Star and Stick and Spin can only be accessed through the sports and puzzles section, which is why they were added there
4:00 well if they didn’t put that there, they could be open to another lawsuit (if someone got hurt) which could also include negligence for not including a warning the second time.
Another issue with Dizzy Dancing. It's possible to get softlocked because of how everyone needs to move to the center so if someone is bouncing on your head when the timer hits 0 the ai that takes over when the game ends has their pathfinding break and they'll never jump onto the record making it so the game softlocks. Happened day 1 to me.
In regards to Rocky Road, if I recall correctly from playing it, in 6 it was actually faster to jump kick as it did much more damage than just punching (I believe I tested it to make sure), and it was pretty fun as you could just beat the shit out of your teammate while breaking the rocks. If jump kicking really got nerfed for Superstars, that's a pretty big shame, but personally I found the original pretty fun.
I've learned to really look forward to Mecha Marathon after learning a technique for mashing A+B at the same time, I've managed to reach the maximum distance of 70m with it. So now my goal every game is to reach that 70 - only done it once so far, usually get 60+ every game now.
3:50 "To avoid winning, do not rotate the control stick with the palm of your hand."
God I love how Yoshi almost syncs up with the music at 0:32
AN HOUR???
Great to see another video haha
The first time I played number one was with a full party and I have never had so much fun in Mario Party before. We were all yelling and screaming and having a great time
HOW did they miss the opportunity to name Monty's Revenge "Mole-a-whack"
Bc monty is getting revenge for you running him over in flatiator
I feel like a lot of these criticisms are a bit misplaced? Like, the one for Shy Guy Says, about the pauses...you literally said yourself that they're meant to trip you up. That's the point of them, to fuck you over. If you don't like the slowness then fine but it's very clearly not JUST there to slow you down more.
About tug-of-war's stick rotation, I think it's dumb they're mentioning the irritation, because there's a huge difference between the rough rigid plastic stick from the N64, and the smooth plastic stick of the Switch.
Also as flimsy as the N64 joystick was, at least it still worked and didn't get defective within a month after purchase.
