The Racetrack one was convoluted Trash and the Mall one was annoying it looked like a pastel nightmare. Half of the mini games you either have to have ADHD to understand or be on Adderall or some other type of Speed to follow. The useless mini games that popped up or battles or dules made the game feel like Chinese water torture. Other than that C-.
I’m seriously blown away how good this game is. All the boards are amazing and like you said they are no bad ones. My ranking slightly differs from yours but in agreement that rainbow galleria is my favourite one,then bowsers keep and goomba lagoon are in my top 3 just can’t decide at the moment the order.The rest I need to play a few more times to decide. The whole game overall is soo good. I’m finding myself spending more time than I usually do playing all the other modes which are so much fun. It’s definitely a game you can come back to again and again and enjoy😊😊
My favorite boards in this game are Rainbow Galleria and Western Land. Western Land has always been one of my favorite boards, and it’s just as good in this game as it was in Mario Party 2 imo. Rainbow Galleria is great too imo. I always have a blast playing on it
Here is how I rank all of the Boards from Best to Worst in my Opinion: 1. Rainbow Galleria 2. King Bowser’s Keep 3. Western Land 4. Goomba Lagoon 5. Mario’s Rainbow Castle 6. Roll ‘em Raceway 7. Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party
My personal ranking: 7. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party 6. Roll 'em Raceway 5. Goomba Lagoon 4. Mario's Rainbow Castle 3. King Bowser's Keep 2. Western Land 1. Rainbow Galleria But there is not a bad board in this game, it's amazing
Of the 4 I’ve played so far: Goomba Lagoon disappointed me. Was interested in the layout change, but all it does is get you stuck and waste your turn, *for half the game*. 4th place. Rolling Raceway surprised me. Thought it would be too boring and basic, but having a straightforward approach meant you could focus on strategizing dice items. Actually really fun. 3rd place. Rainbow Galleria was even better than I expected. Fun to navigate, a ton of stuff to do. You’ll find yourself planning a route that criss crosses the map. 2nd place. Western Land is still goated. A perfect remake of a top tier board. 1st place.
Goomba Lagoon is an underrated chaos board, the emphasis on warping and traversal is super fun when paired with a buddy like DK, and you can make some great and funny power plays with it. It’s super RNG heavy, which probably turns off a lot of the more serious players, but again it’s a fun chaotic experience. Also, the aesthetics are unmatched, it just *feels* like a good time whenever I play it. Lots of lively characters and animation going on in the background. Objectively I have to say Rainbow is one of the best MP maps ever created. It’s intricate, layered, aesthetically pleasing and has banging music. It’s a real triumph in blending casual and strategic elements without sacrificing the appeal of either playstyle, which is a balance only the top 10% of MP boards have been able to strike well. And depending on the rules chosen I would say it’s just a perfect board.
Good list! Rather similar to mine except I really don’t like the linear boards 🥴 7) Mario’s Rainbow’s Castle 6) Roll ‘em Raceway 5) Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party 4) King Bowser’s Keep 3) Goomba Lagoon 2) Western Land 1) Rainbow Galleria (even though that map despises me)
Great ranking, while I wonder if I'd rank these boards slightly differently after playing on them myself (currently busy with Jamboree's story mode along with all the other games I'm playing) based on everything I've seen and heard about them including watching others playing on them I overall agree with your reasoning!
My personal ranking (haven't played King Bowser's Keep yet) 1. Rainbow Galleria 2. Western Land 3. Roll'em Raceway (King Bowser's Keep might end up here in 4th later) 4. Goomba Lagoon 5. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party 6. Mario's Rainbow Castle
3:45 - On Mega Wiggler's Tree Party, the Piranha Plants didn't need a whole bunch of text saying what's happening. A little speech/thought bubble next to them, with the number of coins they'll steal next, would have been plenty clear and a lot faster to simply have tick up when the Plant gets watered. The Mega Wiggler also looks like they could bridge the two leaves along the southern edge of their nest, as a third position (players would walk in reverse along their back to get off in the southeast). I'm not sure why this possibility wasn't included. 6:00 - On Mario's Rainbow Castle, the rotation of the tower and shop could have been made a lot quicker and snappier, especially since the shop rotates a lot and its animation can't be fast-forwarded. No need to slowly spin it around. There's no physics to mess up. Wing that thing! Have the Koopa Troopa or Kamek yelp in surprise/panic when it flips. 8:10 - My primary issue with Roll 'Em Raceway is the clash between a raceway and Mario Party's propensity to dole out 1s and 2s like Scrooge McDuck leaving a tip. Movement dice can be shockingly hard to come by, especially when you keep getting yeeted past the shop. When you keep rolling low, it feels more like you're riding a floor buffer than a drag racer. 8:30 - Roll 'Em Raceway does not use a car mechanic. It uses a car aesthetic. Apart from the look of your character sitting with their hands locked at 10 and 2, there's nothing here that's actually different gameplay-wise because of the cars. This could have been a track-and-field theme and kept the characters on foot, with Stopwatch Dice Blocks instead of Turbo Dice Blocks. That's not to say I don't like the theme; it's just not a mechanic. 11:00 - I haven't unlocked King Bowser's Keep yet, so I don't have any comments on it. 14:20 - On Goomba Lagoon, the tides were incredibly frustrating to me. For two turns at a time, everyone would be completely isolated in small areas, with no way to position ourselves to be unleashed at the star. In particular, getting stuck on the Lucky Space island in the center is an exercise in infuriation. Yeah, you're getting coins and items, but you're basically not moving. 14:50 - The ziplines are shockingly slow and could have been sped up by a factor of 3 without losing anything. No need for the fast-forward feature if the animation is already short, snappy, and clear. Also, it's strange to me that the spaces at the ends of the ziplines even exist, since there's no way you can land on them (unless there's a way to roll a 0 that I'm not aware of). 16:40 - On Western Land, I don't really have any complaints. Skeleton Keys could be a little more common (my 30-turn game saw only three get awarded and two get used), but that's pretty minor. 19:00 - Rainbow Galleria is a bit of a maze, but as long as you thoroughly inspect your map, it's not bad. The escalators, however, didn't need to take nearly so long. My only other complaint here is also a minor one, in that the Super Dueling Glove can only be found at one shop (which you must land on to visit) and costs 40 coins, just to duel for a star. It's nowhere near guaranteed, so paying nearly the cost of a guaranteed steal for it is very high. I would lower the price from 40 coins to 20-25, especially since buying and using this item could additionally cost you a star. In general, while I do like the pacing of this game much more than _Super_ or _Superstars_ , I would have appreciated each occurrence of the same board event to be sped up by 10% (+20% if you fast-forwarded it last time). Watching Bowser standing on an escalator is funny the first and second times, but it quickly wears out its welcome. This speed-up would be in addition to any fast-forwarding. Other than that, my complaints so far are also pretty minor and confined to the roster. I would always prefer named characters over faceless mooks (Goombella instead of some random Goomba, for instance), and while it's great to have Pauline join the party, I don't see why it had to come with the exclusion of Diddy. If anything, I'd like to see a little _more_ Kong representation. Dixie, Tiny, and Funky would be great partygoers!
So real about goomba lagoon. First (and the last time I played it) time I played it I was literally stuck on an island for the last 7 turns of the whole game because ppl kept landing on the event spaces which kept making the high tide come in.
My personal ranking: 7: Western land Im not a huge fan of desert themes and i’ve only ever played the 3 newest Mario parties so the nostalgia doesn’t work for me. 6: Goomba lagoon I thought the volcano gimmick was a bit too generic and the rising tide is sometimes annoying ESPECIALLY when you get trapped on that tiny lucky space island 5: Wiggler tree party Honestly nothing much I really like this board. My only complaint is that wiggler INSTANTLY calms down after he moves, theres no fade or anything his colors just immediately change. 4: Mario’s rainbow castle Same reasons of Western land apply here but I like the theming a lot more 3: Rainbow galleria I love this board! From the shops to the atmosphere and many npcs keeping the place lively this is up there in my all time favourites! My only complaint is that the flash sale gimmick is too short and rare and a bit underwhelming. 2: Roll em raceway I really really like this board because it has a great atmosphere and some great exclusive items! I have no real complaints about this one to be honest (Except that one dorrie minigame in the story mode that one was horrid) its just really well built! And the runaway space cars are a nice touch. 1: King Bowsers keep This board is almost PERFECT. Its well worth the grind becuase the gimmicks and atmosphere are amazing! From bowsers secret vault to the key gates and changing routed, theres barely anything not to love! Personally however i think it should be more of a 4 star ranking because it’s not that hard to avoid the traps. The one and only thing I don’t like is the Rosalina minigame in the story mode that took nearly an HOUR😭
Best Mario Party Game all-time! (haven't played them all yet) Favourite: Mega Wiggler's Tree Party 2nd: Goomba Lagoon 3rd: Rainbow Galleria 4th: King Bowser's Keep 5th: Roll'em Raceway 6th: Mario's Rainbow Castle 7th: Western Land
1:40 to be fair, that is a VERY low bar to set 😂 Here is how I’d rank them: 1. Western Land (LOVE the overhaul and music remix) 2. Rainbow Galleria (it’s close, but I do slightly enjoy Western Land more) 3. Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party (this one could also make a case for my favourite) 4. Goomba Lagoon 5. King Bowser’s Keep 6. Mario’s Rainbow Castle (honestly this one disappointed me) 7. Roll ‘Em Raceway (this board is just too linear for my liking, even though it looked really cool before playing it)
Ironic how Western Land wasn’t even close to my favourite board in MP2, and both of the original versions of the MP2 boards in Superstars easily cleared it for me, yet I enjoy Jamboree’s version of Western Land more than I do the Superstars version of both Space Land and Horror Land.
I still need to play Mario’s Rainbow Castle and King Bowser’s Keep before I can rank all the boards, and when I was watching this, I took a dinner break while playing Rainbow Galleria, lol. But yeah, all these boards have been great so far. I particularly have enjoyed Western Land’s remake since the new mechanics with Steamer feel super well done.
my list is pretty similar. Rainbow Galleria is at the top, and one of my favourite boards in ANY Mario Party. also love Goomba Lagoon and Western Land. those are my top 3, but all the boards are solid.
Homie is ranking all the boards when I haven’t even unlocked them all yet! Lololol, amazing video Swift!! Can’t wait to challenge you again in the future 😈
My personal ranking based on limited play: 1. King Bowser's Keep 2. Rainbow Galleria 3. Western Land 4. Roll 'em Raceway 5. Mario's Rainbow Castle 6. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party 7. Goomba Lagoon Fully agree with you that the only real sins the lower-ranked boards have is easy access to Golden Pipes in the back half. I do wish they either made Golden Pipes more expensive or just not accessible in easy-to-reach shops.
My Board Top List: 7. Roll 'em Raceway - The board is basically just a loop without many options to go around on. The star only switches between two places and the board specific Item feels more like a disadvantage most of the time as you just cant interact with boo, buy something from the shop or let alone the star itself, it just feels dumb to pass by these events. The split path with the starting line also feels unneccessary to use when you can go up top and just get 3 really good dice items for the price of just 10 coins... 6. Mario's Rainbow Castle - The fact that there's just one single star space was always not appealing to me in any game, be it Mario Party 8's Goomba's Booty Boardwalk or others, just having one star at the end of a pretty linear path is just not a good decision in map design in my opinion. The fact that the star isnt even there half of the time and you just lose 20 Coins when its turned to Bowser's side doesnt enhance the experience, plus the fact that the tower rotate item only has a chance to switch the tower and isnt guaranteed... 5. Goomba Lagoon - I'm just gonna be honest, the tide system and how easy it is to just get a tide shell and change the tide is really annoying. This board is just heavily focused of warp item usage and the tide shell, if you dont have any of those and are stuck on an island you're basically done for if you oponents have tide shells to change the tide before its even your turn. Other than that, I do really like the volcano event and how the board feels in any other aspect... 4. King Bowser's Keep - Never ever play a 30 round match of this board... I did and got stuck in bowser space hell in the middle loop around imposter Bowser for over 10 hours to the point I lost all my stars, was in last place and someone else snatched my entire 8 star earnings by guessing the passcode on the safe... Played a 20 round game the day later and had a much better time on this map. I really like how you can get back to the start from 3 spots on the map and dont have to do some kind of loop that would just be extra unnecessary distance and the fact that everything Bowser steals from the Players gets transported into the safe that you can open when you're really lucky... 3. Western Land - You can never go wrong with a classic board. My only real complaint is how cheap the train rides are and how many spaces of the map are on the train tracks so you'll get run over almost every 5 turns. The keys also feel useful here unlike on most boards of Mario Party Superstars. Nothing else to say about this one... 2. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party - For a beginner map, this map is awesome! The gimmick with Wiggler being walkable and that he can change positions is a small but very effective thing, it can save a lot of space to use him to cross some sections, especially when the top right of the map is plastered with star trap spots in the later rounds. Just an incredibly well crafted map for my liking... 1. Rainbow Galleria - It's just the best board, what else do I have to say. This map is the peak of Mario Party Boards, there was never a better board in any Mario Party in my opinion. The many different path ways, the many gimmicks and events, the different shops; it just fits perfectly and is so much fun. The strategic plays you can use on this map are basically endless, on one round you could take turns at the start of the map just getting an item from the 1-coin shop over and over again to be able to get more balls at the lottery for a golden pipe later... First I thought the coin economy in this map would be way too over the top but with the 200% sticker that just balances out and cause everyone mostly has a lot of money everyone will just be speeding around the mall, getting star after star which leads to incredibly high risk, high reward chance time plays later on etc... I could talk about this map for hours as its just so good, definetly 100%ly my favourite of the bunch! :3 (I definetly didnt write this before and just copied it)
The star not being at the end of the board half the time on Mario's Rainbow Castle is what makes that board good imo. For every other "star stays in the same spot" type of board the meta basically revolves around having better mobility than your opponents, while on this board there will be plenty of times where you're just praying that you low roll so that someone else loses the 20 coins and you get to have the star.
@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 Kind of weird considering Peach Birthday Cake, which is also from Mario Party 1 which was brought back in Superstars, only had one Star Spot as well. At least with their Remakes the Gold pipe is excluded out.
I would put Goomba Lagoon at last. Being stuck for two turns can really drag the game. If the high tide was just one turn or there were more ways to move from the islands (maybe it changes more paths rather than just removing them), then it would probably be higher for me.
I'll only rank the ones that I have played, which I did all 20 turns. From best to worst: 1) Western Land 2) Rainbow Galleria 3) Goomba Lagoon 4) Wiggler's Tree Party 5) Roll'em Raceway
Roll em raceway is real neat imo, contrary to what seems like the popular opinion about it online. The straightforward part with bits of options for a lap is the charm of it that not just adds diversity to the board variety, not just being simple to relax and introduce game mechanics, but also means you don't have to look at the map as much for routing but instead on item play, especially the traps. I wouldn't call it my favorite but I welcome it a lot xD.
I agree. I hope I gave it justice despite my ranking. I really, really like it. After I played it, I thought it could have gone #1.. And then I played the rest which were just as good.
Haven't played them all but here's my list so far: 1. Western Land (SS) 2. Goomba Lagoon (SS) 3. Rainbow Galleria (SS) 4. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party (B) This game's board selection is so much better than Superstars. So far, my only complaint about the game is how many repeat minigames me and my sister get, we usually play the same ones over and over with the random minigame option selected.
My board ranking: 1. Rainbow Galleria (probably the most dynamic board in the series) 2. King Bowser’s Keep (Really fun Bowser board) 3. Western Land (Beautiful remake) 4. Roll em Raceway (honestly enjoyed this map a lot more than i expected) 5. Mega Wigglers Tree Party (Pretty fun beginner board) 6. Goomba Lagoon (Cool idea and looks great, but not the most fun to play in comparison to the other boards. 7. Mario's Rainbow Castle (Honestly a pretty mediocre board imo. Just not that fun to play)
I started with Rainbow galaria and that's going to bring me so much joy in the future! 🤎🤎🤎 On my way home after a weekend away. And we can't wait to play the other boards!!
Am I the only one who prefers the aesthetic style of the N64 MP games? In the n64 games, the characters and the boards actually look like handcrafted boards, and the characters are like the player pieces. In the games from MP4 and onwards, they try to make the boards seem like actual worlds with the Mario characters in them. I'm probably in the minority but there's a reason I always prefer to go back to the N64 style games.
I swear if Jamboree doesn't have DLC in gonna be livid, we've been begging since Superstars to bring back old Boards. I seriously do think Mario Party 1 board need the remake treatment more. Such as DK Jungle, Luigi's Engine Room, Bowser Magma mountain and Eternal star. Magma mountain and Eternal star would dope because of the Music, and adding the Koopalings on Eternal Star would work very well. Magma Mountain would also fix the broken economy system in Jamboree. I definitely do say Mario Party 3 boards needs a comeback too after only have one in Superstars. Also, am i the only one that finds it rather strange that we done have like a Space theme board in Jamboree.
At the moment, I still don’t know how I would rank them. Wiggler’s Tree party is at the bottom of the list, but I honestly don’t know about the rest. I’ve only got 1 out the 7 pegged down lol
Here are my rankings so far: 1. Western Land (fantastic) 2. Rainbow Galleria (generally great) 3. Roll Em Raceway (plain good) 4. Mario’s Rainbow Castle (better than the original) 5. Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party (decent) Haven’t played the other two yet so that’s why they’re not on the list.
Also, if you ask me. I think Mario’s Rainbow Castle should have a 3 star difficulty, not a one star. I don’t find it THAT easy compared to Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party.
1st and second are rainbow galleria and roll em raceway 3rd goomba lagoon. People need to quit whining about the tide and just buy teleport items 4th is the wiggler forest board, then western, then the bowser board, then stupid rainbow sky board
Mario Party could do the same as Mario Kart. A bunch of new boards and a bunch of old Classics that are great. I don't want to see any boards from the last games tho.
Legit! Every game they should choose 2/3 retro boards and make 5 new ones. I would be beyond satisfied with that.. They need a Mario Party 3 board next.
Another copy!? You're certainly feeling generous (◍^ω^◍) PS I don't have the game, but I love how Rainbow Galleria looks! Certainly my favorite board in the game!
All these boards are fantastic and here is how I rank them: 7: Mario’s Rainbow Castle 6:. Goomba Lagoon 5: Mega Wigglers Tree Party 4: Roll em Raceway 3: King Bowsers Keep 2: Western Land 1: Rainbow Galleria
Na with how annoying the convaier belts in the bowser stage I have to rank it last as I played a game on that board and basically went nowhere as I was stuck on the belts all game but there's still probably boards in past games that are worse

What are your thoughts on Kevin Afghani voicing Waluigi?
@@MrYee-xf6zeI think he nailed it
I like the Mall board and Rainbow Castle
The Racetrack one was convoluted Trash and the Mall one was annoying it looked like a pastel nightmare. Half of the mini games you either have to have ADHD to understand or be on Adderall or some other type of Speed to follow. The useless mini games that popped up or battles or dules made the game feel like Chinese water torture. Other than that C-.
Very nice list! Lots of disagreements, but we can at least agree on the resembleance for Roll'em Raceway lol!
We meet again
Thanks mate! Now I can put your video on during my way to work tomorrow! I knew if I listened to yours my opinions might get skewed 😂😅
I’m seriously blown away how good this game is. All the boards are amazing and like you said they are no bad ones.

Completely agree! We almost have the same top 3 minus one!
Phenomenal game.
My favorite boards in this game are Rainbow Galleria and Western Land. Western Land has always been one of my favorite boards, and it’s just as good in this game as it was in Mario Party 2 imo. Rainbow Galleria is great too imo. I always have a blast playing on it

Rainbow galleria is now my favorite map in all of Mario party! It’s so cool and just truly hit the aesthetic out of the park! Fantastic game
High regards!!! I agree. It’s phenomenal. Not sure where it would rank on my overall board placement

Western Land is still goated. A perfect remake of a top tier board. 1st place.
Heavy agree on rollem raceway, it's straightforwardness encourage not looking at the map as much but pure item play, especially the traps xD
Very fair reasons!!!
Very good video, love the pacing, the sound. Keep up the good work and this channel will grow.
Goomba Lagoon is an underrated chaos board, the emphasis on warping and traversal is super fun when paired with a buddy like DK, and you can make some great and funny power plays with it. It’s super RNG heavy, which probably turns off a lot of the more serious players, but again it’s a fun chaotic experience.

Objectively I have to say Rainbow is one of the best MP maps ever created. It’s intricate, layered, aesthetically pleasing and has banging music. It’s a real triumph in blending casual and strategic elements without sacrificing the appeal of either playstyle, which is a balance only the top 10% of MP boards have been able to strike well. And depending on the rules chosen I would say it’s just a perfect board.
Another banger by swiftjar. Keep up the great work ❤
You’re a legend! I’ll have another video or two before I go on holiday!
Good list! Rather similar to mine except I really don’t like the linear boards 🥴
7) Mario’s Rainbow’s Castle
6) Roll ‘em Raceway
5) Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party
4) King Bowser’s Keep
3) Goomba Lagoon
2) Western Land
1) Rainbow Galleria (even though that map despises me)
@@IAmHaydenn
Rainbow Galleria sometimes despises me to, gives to many CPUs 10's in rolls
I agree with your list!
Great ranking, while I wonder if I'd rank these boards slightly differently after playing on them myself (currently busy with Jamboree's story mode along with all the other games I'm playing) based on everything I've seen and heard about them including watching others playing on them I overall agree with your reasoning!
My personal ranking (haven't played King Bowser's Keep yet)
1. Rainbow Galleria
2. Western Land
3. Roll'em Raceway
(King Bowser's Keep might end up here in 4th later)
4. Goomba Lagoon
5. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party
6. Mario's Rainbow Castle
Great selection!
King Bowsers Keep has exceeded my expectations!! Usually i'm not a fan of the 'bowser/villain' board but this board is incredible
3:45 - On Mega Wiggler's Tree Party, the Piranha Plants didn't need a whole bunch of text saying what's happening. A little speech/thought bubble next to them, with the number of coins they'll steal next, would have been plenty clear and a lot faster to simply have tick up when the Plant gets watered.
The Mega Wiggler also looks like they could bridge the two leaves along the southern edge of their nest, as a third position (players would walk in reverse along their back to get off in the southeast). I'm not sure why this possibility wasn't included.
6:00 - On Mario's Rainbow Castle, the rotation of the tower and shop could have been made a lot quicker and snappier, especially since the shop rotates a lot and its animation can't be fast-forwarded. No need to slowly spin it around. There's no physics to mess up. Wing that thing! Have the Koopa Troopa or Kamek yelp in surprise/panic when it flips.
8:10 - My primary issue with Roll 'Em Raceway is the clash between a raceway and Mario Party's propensity to dole out 1s and 2s like Scrooge McDuck leaving a tip. Movement dice can be shockingly hard to come by, especially when you keep getting yeeted past the shop. When you keep rolling low, it feels more like you're riding a floor buffer than a drag racer.
8:30 - Roll 'Em Raceway does not use a car mechanic. It uses a car aesthetic. Apart from the look of your character sitting with their hands locked at 10 and 2, there's nothing here that's actually different gameplay-wise because of the cars. This could have been a track-and-field theme and kept the characters on foot, with Stopwatch Dice Blocks instead of Turbo Dice Blocks. That's not to say I don't like the theme; it's just not a mechanic.
11:00 - I haven't unlocked King Bowser's Keep yet, so I don't have any comments on it.
14:20 - On Goomba Lagoon, the tides were incredibly frustrating to me. For two turns at a time, everyone would be completely isolated in small areas, with no way to position ourselves to be unleashed at the star. In particular, getting stuck on the Lucky Space island in the center is an exercise in infuriation. Yeah, you're getting coins and items, but you're basically not moving.
14:50 - The ziplines are shockingly slow and could have been sped up by a factor of 3 without losing anything. No need for the fast-forward feature if the animation is already short, snappy, and clear. Also, it's strange to me that the spaces at the ends of the ziplines even exist, since there's no way you can land on them (unless there's a way to roll a 0 that I'm not aware of).
16:40 - On Western Land, I don't really have any complaints. Skeleton Keys could be a little more common (my 30-turn game saw only three get awarded and two get used), but that's pretty minor.

My only other complaint here is also a minor one, in that the Super Dueling Glove can only be found at one shop (which you must land on to visit) and costs 40 coins, just to duel for a star.

I would lower the price from 40 coins to 20-25, especially since buying and using this item could additionally cost you a star.

Watching Bowser standing on an escalator is funny the first and second times, but it quickly wears out its welcome. This speed-up would be in addition to any fast-forwarding.
Other than that, my complaints so far are also pretty minor and confined to the roster. I would always prefer named characters over faceless mooks (Goombella instead of some random Goomba, for instance), and while it's great to have Pauline join the party, I don't see why it had to come with the exclusion of Diddy. If anything, I'd like to see a little _more_ Kong representation. Dixie, Tiny, and Funky would be great partygoers!
So real about goomba lagoon. First (and the last time I played it) time I played it I was literally stuck on an island for the last 7 turns of the whole game because ppl kept landing on the event spaces which kept making the high tide come in.
you must be fun at parties
@@marc_8o0 Yep, that's one of the big differences between us.
My personal ranking:
7: Western land
Im not a huge fan of desert themes and i’ve only ever played the 3 newest Mario parties so the nostalgia doesn’t work for me.
6: Goomba lagoon
I thought the volcano gimmick was a bit too generic and the rising tide is sometimes annoying ESPECIALLY when you get trapped on that tiny lucky space island
5: Wiggler tree party
Honestly nothing much I really like this board. My only complaint is that wiggler INSTANTLY calms down after he moves, theres no fade or anything his colors just immediately change.
4: Mario’s rainbow castle
Same reasons of Western land apply here but I like the theming a lot more
3: Rainbow galleria
I love this board! From the shops to the atmosphere and many npcs keeping the place lively this is up there in my all time favourites! My only complaint is that the flash sale gimmick is too short and rare and a bit underwhelming.
2: Roll em raceway
I really really like this board because it has a great atmosphere and some great exclusive items! I have no real complaints about this one to be honest (Except that one dorrie minigame in the story mode that one was horrid) its just really well built! And the runaway space cars are a nice touch.
1: King Bowsers keep
This board is almost PERFECT. Its well worth the grind becuase the gimmicks and atmosphere are amazing! From bowsers secret vault to the key gates and changing routed, theres barely anything not to love! Personally however i think it should be more of a 4 star ranking because it’s not that hard to avoid the traps.
The one and only thing I don’t like is the Rosalina minigame in the story mode that took nearly an HOUR😭
I'm midway through the video.. amazing for now!!! I wish I could win this game, it's my birthday in a few days but I don't have money :(
Fantastic! You've got to let me know if you agree by the end. :)
Hopefully you're lucky to win the giveaway
@@Swiftjar Oh thx! Also I meant my bff's birthday, but the thoughts remain the same!
Great vid! New to the channel but it would be nice if you did a vid ranking ALL the mario party boards throughout the series!
Great video. Goomba lagoon is my favourite
@@ameliabarbara4722 it’s fantastic
Best Mario Party Game all-time!
(haven't played them all yet)
Favourite: Mega Wiggler's Tree Party
2nd: Goomba Lagoon
3rd: Rainbow Galleria
4th: King Bowser's Keep
5th: Roll'em Raceway
6th: Mario's Rainbow Castle
7th: Western Land
1:40 to be fair, that is a VERY low bar to set 😂
Here is how I’d rank them:
1. Western Land (LOVE the overhaul and music remix)
2. Rainbow Galleria (it’s close, but I do slightly enjoy Western Land more)
3. Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party (this one could also make a case for my favourite)
4. Goomba Lagoon
5. King Bowser’s Keep
6. Mario’s Rainbow Castle (honestly this one disappointed me)
7. Roll ‘Em Raceway (this board is just too linear for my liking, even though it looked really cool before playing it)
Ironic how Western Land wasn’t even close to my favourite board in MP2, and both of the original versions of the MP2 boards in Superstars easily cleared it for me, yet I enjoy Jamboree’s version of Western Land more than I do the Superstars version of both Space Land and Horror Land.
Hahah elgit. Great ranking to!! and nice reasons
Nothing ain't a Party like a Mario Party
You know it! Absolutely haha.
Great video! That’s awesome you’re doing a giveaway too. Very nice of you. Good luck to everyone in the giveaway 😃
You're a legend! Thanks for watching
I still need to play Mario’s Rainbow Castle and King Bowser’s Keep before I can rank all the boards, and when I was watching this, I took a dinner break while playing Rainbow Galleria, lol.
But yeah, all these boards have been great so far. I particularly have enjoyed Western Land’s remake since the new mechanics with Steamer feel super well done.
my list is pretty similar. Rainbow Galleria is at the top, and one of my favourite boards in ANY Mario Party. also love Goomba Lagoon and Western Land. those are my top 3, but all the boards are solid.
Homie is ranking all the boards when I haven’t even unlocked them all yet! Lololol, amazing video Swift!! Can’t wait to challenge you again in the future 😈
Haha, less time replying from me and more recording hahaha! Thanks for commenting mate, let's play again soon when I'm back from holiday!!
My personal ranking based on limited play:
1. King Bowser's Keep
2. Rainbow Galleria
3. Western Land
4. Roll 'em Raceway
5. Mario's Rainbow Castle
6. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party
7. Goomba Lagoon
Fully agree with you that the only real sins the lower-ranked boards have is easy access to Golden Pipes in the back half. I do wish they either made Golden Pipes more expensive or just not accessible in easy-to-reach shops.
My Board Top List:
7. Roll 'em Raceway - The board is basically just a loop without many options to go around on. The star only switches between two places and the board specific Item feels more like a disadvantage most of the time as you just cant interact with boo, buy something from the shop or let alone the star itself, it just feels dumb to pass by these events. The split path with the starting line also feels unneccessary to use when you can go up top and just get 3 really good dice items for the price of just 10 coins...
6. Mario's Rainbow Castle - The fact that there's just one single star space was always not appealing to me in any game, be it Mario Party 8's Goomba's Booty Boardwalk or others, just having one star at the end of a pretty linear path is just not a good decision in map design in my opinion. The fact that the star isnt even there half of the time and you just lose 20 Coins when its turned to Bowser's side doesnt enhance the experience, plus the fact that the tower rotate item only has a chance to switch the tower and isnt guaranteed...
5. Goomba Lagoon - I'm just gonna be honest, the tide system and how easy it is to just get a tide shell and change the tide is really annoying. This board is just heavily focused of warp item usage and the tide shell, if you dont have any of those and are stuck on an island you're basically done for if you oponents have tide shells to change the tide before its even your turn. Other than that, I do really like the volcano event and how the board feels in any other aspect...
4. King Bowser's Keep - Never ever play a 30 round match of this board... I did and got stuck in bowser space hell in the middle loop around imposter Bowser for over 10 hours to the point I lost all my stars, was in last place and someone else snatched my entire 8 star earnings by guessing the passcode on the safe... Played a 20 round game the day later and had a much better time on this map. I really like how you can get back to the start from 3 spots on the map and dont have to do some kind of loop that would just be extra unnecessary distance and the fact that everything Bowser steals from the Players gets transported into the safe that you can open when you're really lucky...
3. Western Land - You can never go wrong with a classic board. My only real complaint is how cheap the train rides are and how many spaces of the map are on the train tracks so you'll get run over almost every 5 turns. The keys also feel useful here unlike on most boards of Mario Party Superstars. Nothing else to say about this one...
2. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party - For a beginner map, this map is awesome! The gimmick with Wiggler being walkable and that he can change positions is a small but very effective thing, it can save a lot of space to use him to cross some sections, especially when the top right of the map is plastered with star trap spots in the later rounds. Just an incredibly well crafted map for my liking...
1. Rainbow Galleria - It's just the best board, what else do I have to say. This map is the peak of Mario Party Boards, there was never a better board in any Mario Party in my opinion. The many different path ways, the many gimmicks and events, the different shops; it just fits perfectly and is so much fun. The strategic plays you can use on this map are basically endless, on one round you could take turns at the start of the map just getting an item from the 1-coin shop over and over again to be able to get more balls at the lottery for a golden pipe later... First I thought the coin economy in this map would be way too over the top but with the 200% sticker that just balances out and cause everyone mostly has a lot of money everyone will just be speeding around the mall, getting star after star which leads to incredibly high risk, high reward chance time plays later on etc... I could talk about this map for hours as its just so good, definetly 100%ly my favourite of the bunch! :3
(I definetly didnt write this before and just copied it)
Love it! Some really good explanations here.
The star not being at the end of the board half the time on Mario's Rainbow Castle is what makes that board good imo. For every other "star stays in the same spot" type of board the meta basically revolves around having better mobility than your opponents, while on this board there will be plenty of times where you're just praying that you low roll so that someone else loses the 20 coins and you get to have the star.
@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 Kind of weird considering Peach Birthday Cake, which is also from Mario Party 1 which was brought back in Superstars, only had one Star Spot as well. At least with their Remakes the Gold pipe is excluded out.
Hell yeah, a fellow Rainbow Galleria enjoyer! My friends don't like it, and I can't figure out why. My favorite board in the entire series.
I would put Goomba Lagoon at last. Being stuck for two turns can really drag the game. If the high tide was just one turn or there were more ways to move from the islands (maybe it changes more paths rather than just removing them), then it would probably be higher for me.
Rainbow Galleria was rhe first board i played on and it's my absolute favourite board in this game and possibly my favorite in the whole series
Using the "Congrats!" sticker after getting Ztars is really, really funny.
I'll only rank the ones that I have played, which I did all 20 turns. From best to worst:
1) Western Land
2) Rainbow Galleria
3) Goomba Lagoon
4) Wiggler's Tree Party
5) Roll'em Raceway
My ranking as of right now (Haven't played all)
1. Rainbow Galleria
2. Western Land
3. Goomba Lagoon
4. Mega Wiggler's Treetop Party
I need to try Bowsers keep on 30 turns
Yes!!
Roll em raceway is real neat imo, contrary to what seems like the popular opinion about it online.
The straightforward part with bits of options for a lap is the charm of it that not just adds diversity to the board variety, not just being simple to relax and introduce game mechanics, but also means you don't have to look at the map as much for routing but instead on item play, especially the traps. I wouldn't call it my favorite but I welcome it a lot xD.
I agree. I hope I gave it justice despite my ranking. I really, really like it. After I played it, I thought it could have gone #1.. And then I played the rest which were just as good.
@@Swiftjar No hate on your ranking, I'm happy it's not at the bottom and you did say how each board is just good too xD
14:20 we hate goomba lagoon we gave it a second chance and the tide keeps us stuck on the one island for 75% of the game
9:52 hey everyone, I’m Albert Boris
Alberto!
The Mall bro… ALL DAY!! I really think it’s the best map all-time
13:41 I was playing a thirty turn game with my friend on Bowser’s Keep and ended up getting 9 stars and over 400 coins on the last turn
Haven't played them all but here's my list so far:
1. Western Land (SS)
2. Goomba Lagoon (SS)
3. Rainbow Galleria (SS)
4. Mega Wiggler's Tree Party (B)
This game's board selection is so much better than Superstars. So far, my only complaint about the game is how many repeat minigames me and my sister get, we usually play the same ones over and over with the random minigame option selected.
Great choice!
My board ranking:
1. Rainbow Galleria (probably the most dynamic board in the series)
2. King Bowser’s Keep (Really fun Bowser board)
3. Western Land (Beautiful remake)
4. Roll em Raceway (honestly enjoyed this map a lot more than i expected)
5. Mega Wigglers Tree Party (Pretty fun beginner board)
6. Goomba Lagoon (Cool idea and looks great, but not the most fun to play in comparison to the other boards.
7. Mario's Rainbow Castle (Honestly a pretty mediocre board imo. Just not that fun to play)
Great ranking and fair choices!
I started with Rainbow galaria and that's going to bring me so much joy in the future! 🤎🤎🤎
On my way home after a weekend away. And we can't wait to play the other boards!!
Yes!!! It genuinely is fantastic.
Nice. I’m going away this weekend. It’ll be good.
For me rainbow galleria is number 1 with roll'em raceway and mario's rainbow castle as close 2nds
Love that we all agree the mall is the best one! Love me a shopping spree 🤑
Am I the only one who prefers the aesthetic style of the N64 MP games? In the n64 games, the characters and the boards actually look like handcrafted boards, and the characters are like the player pieces. In the games from MP4 and onwards, they try to make the boards seem like actual worlds with the Mario characters in them. I'm probably in the minority but there's a reason I always prefer to go back to the N64 style games.
That's understandable. The OG games are extremely good and the style has lasted over the years.
I LOVE ALL THE MODES AND BOARDS ABSOLUTELY CONTENT WISE THE BEST MARIO PARTY GAME
@@crimsonstormsurge it’s freaking awesome!!
I swear if Jamboree doesn't have DLC in gonna be livid, we've been begging since Superstars to bring back old Boards. I seriously do think Mario Party 1 board need the remake treatment more. Such as DK Jungle, Luigi's Engine Room, Bowser Magma mountain and Eternal star. Magma mountain and Eternal star would dope because of the Music, and adding the Koopalings on Eternal Star would work very well. Magma Mountain would also fix the broken economy system in Jamboree. I definitely do say Mario Party 3 boards needs a comeback too after only have one in Superstars.
Also, am i the only one that finds it rather strange that we done have like a Space theme board in Jamboree.
I've been saying this, it's too good of a game not to have DLC, more boards from previous and new ones as well
Glad at least someone likes Goomba Lagoon
At the moment, I still don’t know how I would rank them. Wiggler’s Tree party is at the bottom of the list, but I honestly don’t know about the rest. I’ve only got 1 out the 7 pegged down lol
Mario's Rainbow Castle and Goomba Lagoon should be lower.
Here are my rankings so far:
1. Western Land (fantastic)
2. Rainbow Galleria (generally great)
3. Roll Em Raceway (plain good)
4. Mario’s Rainbow Castle (better than the original)
5. Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party (decent)
Haven’t played the other two yet so that’s why they’re not on the list.
Also, if you ask me. I think Mario’s Rainbow Castle should have a 3 star difficulty, not a one star. I don’t find it THAT easy compared to Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party.
Great ranking!
Galleria number 1 for me and then goomba lagoon
@@KingGoldFinch great pick!!
1:59 I want that boo drink and I don’t even drink coffee
12:41 ben jij Nederlands???
nice vid
The game is so slow & we need more board mini games
It is slower, but it's still great. Choose 15 turns, perfect amount.
I love that the boards are unlockable
Yes! I agree. It's great.
I hope we will get Zakpak, TenDou, and ConnorCondria to do something like they did with Super Stars
I would love to. I've played with ZakPak so far. The other two I keep in contact with and I hope I get to.
1st and second are rainbow galleria and roll em raceway
3rd goomba lagoon. People need to quit whining about the tide and just buy teleport items
4th is the wiggler forest board, then western, then the bowser board, then stupid rainbow sky board
I agree this might be the one Mario Party that doesn’t have a single bad or undesirable board imo.
Legit.
Haven't unlocked all the boards but I really like western land
You will enjoy it!
Westland, it’s my favorite beat me back
Only one I've not played is bowser one cos I haven't unlocked it yet but the other 6 are good
I really miss the outfits of the legacy boards! 🤠👻👨🚀
Yes!!! I agree
that guarenteed gold pipe in the shop 1/2 way thru
- poor wigglers board. it literally broke the board
It's in need of house rules. A great board though
Thanks
LEGEND
Mario Party could do the same as Mario Kart. A bunch of new boards and a bunch of old Classics that are great. I don't want to see any boards from the last games tho.
Legit! Every game they should choose 2/3 retro boards and make 5 new ones. I would be beyond satisfied with that.. They need a Mario Party 3 board next.
Another copy!? You're certainly feeling generous (◍^ω^◍)
PS I don't have the game, but I love how Rainbow Galleria looks! Certainly my favorite board in the game!
Have to support the people who support me. I wish I was in a situation I can hand out hundreds lol. Hopefully one day.
Hello Swiftjar how are you doing today?
Im doing well! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
i really want this game😭
It's very good!
Yaaas
Rainbow galleria!
Yes!
Am I entered for the Mario party jamboree
Yes!
i miss my star :(
I'd give it back if I could :') Sorry Clark!!
Let's go swift!
Legend!
I want to c remake of dk64 on the switch
I agree N64 boards much better I've played jamboree and only give it 5 out of ten the boards are way to big u have no idea where u r on any of them
Hi!
You're very early! I hope you enjoy.
@@Swiftjar I did, your videos are very well made!
All these boards are fantastic and here is how I rank them:
7: Mario’s Rainbow Castle
6:. Goomba Lagoon
5: Mega Wigglers Tree Party
4: Roll em Raceway
3: King Bowsers Keep
2: Western Land
1: Rainbow Galleria
The car is not the issue in mp 9 and 10, is pretty much everything else, the boards being linear with an end goal for example
Na with how annoying the convaier belts in the bowser stage I have to rank it last as I played a game on that board and basically went nowhere as I was stuck on the belts all game but there's still probably boards in past games that are worse
