@@cultreader9751 I actually hate Koopa's Tycoon Town and think it's one of th worst Mario Party Boards of all time. Worse than the Mario Party Boards that came from 9 to even Star Rush)
I think the people who hate on 8 are just really bad at the motion controls and frantically flail the wiimote around instead of making gentle movements so the motion stays on point. (I grew up on MP8 so my view may be rose tinted.)
Excellent video! I noticed that a lot of the boards that SlimKirby likes are boards that you hate. And yes, I agree that Mario Party 3 had some of the best boards in the series, it's my favorite game as well. I'll edit this comment in just a little bit to mathematically rank those games that you listed boards from. I'll add the positions of each board in the rankings to their respective game, then divide them by the number of boards to ascertain the mean average. I'll then finally rank these 10 games based on their average board score. After crunching the numbers, I was quite surprised. 10th: 1 - 47.375 9th: Super - 45.5 8th: 5 - 34.43 7th: 4 - 34.17 6th: 7 - 31.17 5th: 2 - 30 4th: 8 - 25.33 3rd: DS - 24.6 2nd: 6 - 19.83 1st: 3 - 10.33 I'm not surprised that Mario party 1 and super would be at the bottom, because their boards definitely are pretty soulless compared to later games and more boards does not necessarily mean a better game (Mario Party 1) nor does the phrase "less is more" make the difference (Super Mario Party) Mario Party 5 being in eighth place shocked me a bit, because I didn't expect the game to go so low, but there are way more in the bottom half of the rankings than the top half, so a 13 and 12 don't save it. Mario Party 2 is proof that the boards were inconsistent in quality to say the least - its best and worst boards were 46 spaces apart! Mario Party 6 could have made a much better run for the top if it's worst board wasn't so far down at 53rd. The 50 place gap between last and first for that game's respective boards really hurt. Mario Party 8's case is that one amazing board doesn't necessarily mean it's the best game in terms of how well the boards were designed; the consistency in quality is not the best. DS being in third place makes it surprisingly underrated, but that's the opinion everyone holds about that game in general!
For anyone curious I ranked them based on the median rather than the average: 10th - MP1 - 49.5 9th - SMP - 46 8th - MP5 - 39 7th - MP2 - 32.5 6th - MP7 - 30 5th - MP8 - 27.5 4th - MP4 - 26.5 3rd - MPDS - 21 2nd - MP6 - 12 1st - MP3 - 9 *When there's an even number of boards (i.e. for all of them but 5 and DS) so that there isn't a single central value, the median is defined as the average between the two central values.

It was really fun gathering the info, did this as a service for myself mostly but hope my info helps to anyone!
My point being, Mario Party is pretty much all about who you play with. I tend to put much more stock into the minigames than the boards themselves, though.
King Boo’s Haunted Hideaway is ranked too low. The concept of a randomly generated map is one of the coolest concepts ever and makes the board super replayable. It is spiced up even more with the events like the mirror which teleports another player to your space or the roulette letting you steal candy, coins, or stars from a random player. Koopa’s Tycoon Town is still the best MP8 board but King Boo’s a close second.
@@jaspercoggins3590 That's the whole point of the board. You have to think on your feet, and plan your moves accordingly. Take risks. I feel like Koopa's Tycoon town is Mario Party 8's worst board and should have been way lower.
Wow #53 for castaway bay 😮 that is my personal #1 I love the chaos of it and there are many ways to mitigate when you arrive at the island. Also this is the best board for the klepto orb, I love playing high rounds and littering them around the item shop.
Castaway bay is unironically my favorite board lol. The items change the gameplay drastically due to slow shroom being in the game. You basically either have to bet big that you will be able to make it to the star space, or manipulate your movement to prevent you from getting there quickly. I've had so many hype moments of people swapping between DK and Bowser. It's a shame to see it's placement :( but I understand where you're coming from lol.
Glad to see the only Mario Party for home consoles that I own happens to have many of the best boards in the series, makes me glad that it was bundled in with my N64 back when I got it at a used electronics reseller store, also makes me think back to how much the price of used N64's has increased in the past decade since then.
The transitions can either be ear bleeding youtube poop levels of loud or so quiet I cant even tell whats going on. They are very funny, and definitely need to be there, but mabye a little bit if audio balancing? (I have no idea how to do that, just saying lmao)
I respect everything in this list except Bowser Land and Toad's Midway Madness. For Toad's, one player is always going to be pissed after looping around the starting platform 3 times, wasting at least 6 turns or so. For Bowser Land, I'm just biased.
I think that's maybe the only flaw of that board, maybe if there were some event you could land on or maybe a mini mushroom minigame, at least then you could benefit somehow.
While I agree with some of these picks, some like Bowser Land I can’t. The design of the board doesn’t matter. Also you can strategize around the parade. Do you try to get a star? Or run away to make sure you don’t get caught in the parade. Also Bowser’s Warped Orbit is one of the worst boards. Sure its a star stealing board like Snowflake Lake and Pyramid Park which were great boards. This is a linear board where everyone gets 5 stars like usual. But the board’s layout doesn’t work for it. The board is completely linear, and its just a circle. The happening spaces aren’t good either, one sends you to the other side of the board giving you some coins. One has Kamek switch up everyones candy’s which doesn’t really matter because everyones gonna have a Bowser of Bullet Candy, and the Lucky Spaces just give you coins and free candy. Which you’ll always have. Also, don’t get me started on the DK and Bowser spaces. They give and take a star respectively, WHICH RUINS THE WHOLE MECHANIC! HAVING A FINITE AMOUNT OF STARS IS WHAT MAKES THESE STYLED BOARDS SO COOL AND UNIQUE! NOW THERES LESS VALUE TO THEM WHICH DEFEATS THE WHOLE POINT! Also because the board is just a circle, JUST ROLL HIGH AND YOU WILL GET EVERYONES STARS! THIS BOARD IS HORRIBLE
Yeah, Bowser land ranked below Battle Canyon, Midway Madnesss, and like any board from 5 is just nuts lmao. I'd argue it's the best bowser themed level in the whole series.
Kamek's Library has been giving me hell with my replay of MPDS' story mode lately, I have had like 4 attempts go wrong just cause a roll didn't go the way I needed it to (for instance I had a duel space roulette just barely pass the "1 star" option when I was going up against the AI who was a star ahead of me on the last turn) Also loosely related but as someone who actually kinda liked Island Tour when I was younger... yeah it was bad Replaying it some after picking up a copy second-hand from a retro game store, I think the mini-games Island Tour has are actually decent overall, it's just the boards that're bad cause of being either way too luck-reliant or feeling like there's no in-between on how fast a game on them goes
Haven't finished the video yet (I'm planning on falling asleep to it), but for some reason I feel compelled to immediately state that E. Gadd's Garage is dope.
9 is incredibly underrated. No one can tell me this is growing up bias. I got a Wii about a year ago with both 8 and 9 on it. I played 8 first and after a couple months I decided to try out 9. To this day I like that one more.
There was a time my friends and I played Toad's Midway Madness and I was stuck in that tiny fucking loop for the entirety of that damn game. It's funny hearing you say "it's not that bad," and "it's a small loop" because that is the only thing I experienced of that game And by that game, I mean the entire game, not just the board
I prefer the Mario Parties made by Hudson Soft over the ones made by NDCube too. And I always thought that Bowser's Warped Orbit in Mario Party 8 was pretty much the worst game board of them all because it's just so very luck-based and you can't really influence anything. And I like Koopa's Tycoon Town but only if you don't play it for too many turns. Over time the hotels will all become 3-Star hotels and the Bonus Stars will become pretty much useless.
What if you were to rank Mario party 9,10, and and the 3ds titles in a separate video, could that be possible? (Especially since Mario party 9 is a guilty pleasure for me, because kamek never returned as a playable character since)
I’ll end up doing that at some point. I don’t know when, but I’ll do it eventually. I have other rankings planned right now it will be a while before I get to it.
He opened with Thwomp ruins being last and I knew he was extra Based --- Finally someone talking about the boards which are the main vessels of the Mario party experience. I always see people saying mechs or items or aspects of minigames are the main good parts of games but it always comes back to boards for me. Especially when so many of the titles and SO MANY boards have night and day experiences within the same game. Why can't Nintendo do it right all the way thru for once.
SPOILERS BTW: you have no idea how much joy seeing my favorite board from one of the only two actual mario party games i played being at number 1. I watched this video specifically to see how high it would get placed, as it is my favorite board. Thank you for doing this masterpiece justice. Koopa Tycoon town is without a doubt the best board ever cuz it is super cool and stuff
0:12 Why couldn't you say ,,essential Nintendo multipalyer franctiness(es)''? 32:10 But DK's stone statue is in one of 3ds(means: three deck shop) games.
lol Yoshi's island is consider best board but it's not all for people. Funny about Mario Rainbow castle board, they are bring it back in the next mario party game. lol Woody Wood is definitely 1st place unless there's a board that can beat Woody Wood. My complain about all the boards, they are all small like they should make it little bit more big for more fun.
I disagree with all of my soul that Koopa Seaside Soiree uis the best board in Mario Party 4, is it by far the worst in the game and in my top 3 worst MP boards of all time. I hate this board so much.
Idk man, i grew up with star rush and every mode outside the main one and coinathlon is not worth playing, and i'm not a fan of the boards of that game, minigames are decent i guess, better than island tour And i guess top 100 is not awful considering the context of being a mario party game released on a dying handheld.
I swear... EVERYONE freaking loves Koopa's Tycoon Town... I actually hate that board with a passion and it's the worst board of Mario Party 8. I really do not see the appeal of the board, and no doubt about it, I'll always critize it more than any other mario party board. And that includes all of 9, 10, Island Tour, and Star Rushes Boards as even if they are not "exceptional" they have something good that I can honestly praise about it. Why does you, or to be more precise everyone who talks about this board always praise it to death. What makes this board so great? I'm probably gonna get a chance to play this board with friends directly, and see if my opinion changes.... and if it doesn't it's gonna be my EASIEST 1-star rated board that I'll ever give. Especially since there is a broken strategy that forces the other players to fight and try and choose someone to dominate, and yet you can EASILY use that to your advantage. The 2 Lucky Spaces, get 100 coins for each Lucky space (200 coins) Slowgo-dice onto those spaces, snag both Lucky Hotels, then all's you need is to grab 1 more hotel, and you basically have an easy win, if you get 2.... It's Impossible to lose. The true best board of Mario Party 8 and one that is way too freaking low, is King Boo's Haunted Hideaway. That board is perfection.
You talk like 200 coins and slow go candies are easy to farm, the only bad thing is if you play so long that all the hotels have reached max money then you can't do much anymore.
@@mrpiccionedivino5598 that's the thing. In short games (10-20 turns) it's fine. But when you go to 25-50 turns, And it's a long game... That's when it becomes a major problem. If you are skilled enough of efficient enough, and get lucky, you can snag both lucky hotels, have no way for anyone else to get it, and it completely puts you at a massive advantage since the other 5 are fought by all 4 of you. Take control of 1 of those 5, And you are guaranteed winning. Your opponents are forced to decide if they have one person hold all the hotels so you don't win. Leading to two high scores and 2 low scores. But since everyone probably won't want to team up... It's gonna have them fighting over the hotels and you can just sit pretty and make sure you keep that one hotel that it yours safe. If they had just eliminated the 100 coin hotel limit, that would have made this board better.
@@goldenyoshistar1I think it’s very boring against CPU’s, even on very hard difficulty I still win with all 7 hotels at 3 stars. I do think it’s the best board with real players
@corn1zgud4u42 even then... it's awful. My friends and I just played that board last night and 3 of them left after 23 of the 35 turns and it basically resulted in my sweeping the entire game. (Punishment for them leaving as 8's CPU's are total shit) the one person who stayed, ended up in second place. Overall, our rankings averaged out a 1 star. Yeah, that board is not as great as everyone says it is. And it's massively flawed beyond hell.
@@goldenyoshistar1 I think I enjoy it a lot because me and my friends our pretty equally skilled at the game which makes it a lot more competitive. Also we also just really like the setting of the board and music
I highly recommend mixing your audio better. You kept the main audio low and raspy but then the countdown ones REALLY loud. It made it extremely uncomfortable to watch, I had to stop about 15 mins in cause it was very frustrating. Sorry.
@@ryanhindley174 yeah i agree if he was not going to rank the mp 9 and 10 boards then he should have changed the title becase he is not ranking all the mario party boards only 1-8 + ds

You literally can't strategise on that board because of the RNG, it's ass.

I wouldn’t say it’s all that bad. Though if you want him to sound more enthusiastic, put it on 1.25x speed.

Kamek's Library has been giving me hell with my replay of MPDS' story mode lately, I have had like 4 attempts go wrong just cause a roll didn't go the way I needed it to (for instance I had a duel space roulette just barely pass the "1 star" option when I was going up against the AI who was a star ahead of me on the last turn)
Also loosely related but as someone who actually kinda liked Island Tour when I was younger... yeah it was bad
Replaying it some after picking up a copy second-hand from a retro game store, I think the mini-games Island Tour has are actually decent overall, it's just the boards that're bad cause of being either way too luck-reliant or feeling like there's no in-between on how fast a game on them goes
Liked purely for the Creepy Cavern praise. It always gets slept on but It's just so fun strategically with the minecarts and the big thwomp.
Castaway bay did not deserve that. The strategy and risk v reward of that board is so good. To play the board is very sluggish dependent though

I had the same experience but the only thing about 9 i prefer are the minigames and the side modes
Thats literal growing up bias tho
@@lucatriunfo8023 no?
There was a time my friends and I played Toad's Midway Madness and I was stuck in that tiny fucking loop for the entirety of that damn game. It's funny hearing you say "it's not that bad," and "it's a small loop" because that is the only thing I experienced of that game
And by that game, I mean the entire game, not just the board
Im just happy someone gave ds the respect it deserved.
So happy a Mario party 8 board won! My favourite board is shy guys perplex express from that game
finaly! this video exists!
Warios Battle Canyon is my least favorite. I played the board 3 times and was only able to buy one total star in 60 turns. It’s a miserable experience
I thought the max was 50?
@@NickMario1 played it 3 times. 20 x 3 = 60
I LOVE WARIO'S BATTLE CANYON BEST BOARD EVER
ALSO I HAVE ONLY PLAYED SUPER MARIO PARTY
Good video!!
Bowsers pinball will always be my #1
I’ve had a lot of fun on Pagoda Peak and Windmillville.
I also do like the part where Donkey Kong punches Bowser in the face.
When he said "except for John" onto hrs pinball map I had to rewind to make sure, That's my name and I DREADED bowsers pinball machine
“I adore Wario’s Battle canyon” (places it at 46)
Finally TH-cam recommends the content I deserve
Neon Heights deserved better
16:54 don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it
So what I'm hearing is that I'm correct in believing in MP8 supremacy
AMAZING
The ghost tree is pretty good
You should get more credit for the effort you put into this video
Great video, I like it a lot!
Wow this needs more views!
28:28
The Leaning Tower of Pisa isn't in Venice.
It's in Pisa.
Faire Square is no doubt top 3 at least
So its nobody going to talk about how morshu from zelda cdi games in the thumbnail
If rules land is not number one, then we riot
Dawg are you ok
Toad’s midway madness is way too high on this list
I prefer the Mario Parties made by Hudson Soft over the ones made by NDCube too. And I always thought that Bowser's Warped Orbit in Mario Party 8 was pretty much the worst game board of them all because it's just so very luck-based and you can't really influence anything. And I like Koopa's Tycoon Town but only if you don't play it for too many turns. Over time the hotels will all become 3-Star hotels and the Bonus Stars will become pretty much useless.
Mario Party but we take out 1/3 of the games
Maromaster 56. I think the ranking sequences kinda reminds of Schaffrillas
Here are the boards that I disagree about the placements:
Whomps Domino Ruins
Boos Haunted Bash
Peaches Birthday Cake
Bowserland
Neon Heights
King Boos Haunted Hideaway
Pagoda Peak
Koopas Seaside Soiree
Bowser Nightmare
Woody Woods
Chilly Waters
Clockwork Castle
Creepy Cavern
Pagoda peak needs to be wayyyyyyy higher
What if you were to rank Mario party 9,10, and and the 3ds titles in a separate video, could that be possible? (Especially since Mario party 9 is a guilty pleasure for me, because kamek never returned as a playable character since)
I’ll end up doing that at some point. I don’t know when, but I’ll do it eventually. I have other rankings planned right now it will be a while before I get to it.
He opened with Thwomp ruins being last and I knew he was extra Based --- Finally someone talking about the boards which are the main vessels of the Mario party experience. I always see people saying mechs or items or aspects of minigames are the main good parts of games but it always comes back to boards for me. Especially when so many of the titles and SO MANY boards have night and day experiences within the same game. Why can't Nintendo do it right all the way thru for once.
"with an explanation mark" i see why you are a youtuber
Did you just use the YeeHaw from the Bungie Zombie from Plants vs Zombies?
SPOILERS BTW:
you have no idea how much joy seeing my favorite board from one of the only two actual mario party games i played being at number 1. I watched this video specifically to see how high it would get placed, as it is my favorite board. Thank you for doing this masterpiece justice. Koopa Tycoon town is without a doubt the best board ever cuz it is super cool and stuff
Couldn't disagree more about Peach's Birthday Cake. That board with 50 turns is peak Mario Party.
0:12 Why couldn't you say ,,essential Nintendo multipalyer franctiness(es)''?
32:10 But DK's stone statue is in one of 3ds(means: three deck shop) games.
honestly i am just wondering why space land is at number 9
I'd take Windmillville over Tycoon Town anyday
lol Yoshi's island is consider best board but it's not all for people. Funny about Mario Rainbow castle board, they are bring it back in the next mario party game. lol Woody Wood is definitely 1st place unless there's a board that can beat Woody Wood. My complain about all the boards, they are all small like they should make it little bit more big for more fun.
Good video, but also liking clockwork castle and wario's battle canyon? Now that's something I gotta disagree with.
Well I mean, the latter opinion is based on irony alone.
Clockwork Castle is my least fave unlockable board, yuck
WALUIGI HAVE A BEST MAP !
I disagree with all of my soul that Koopa Seaside Soiree uis the best board in Mario Party 4, is it by far the worst in the game and in my top 3 worst MP boards of all time. I hate this board so much.
mfw 60 is not bowsers magma mountain
Mario Party: Star Rush and the Top 100 were solid entries though.
Idk man, i grew up with star rush and every mode outside the main one and coinathlon is not worth playing, and i'm not a fan of the boards of that game, minigames are decent i guess, better than island tour
And i guess top 100 is not awful considering the context of being a mario party game released on a dying handheld.
Hate me, but Koopa's Tycoon Town is overrated
I swear... EVERYONE freaking loves Koopa's Tycoon Town... I actually hate that board with a passion and it's the worst board of Mario Party 8. I really do not see the appeal of the board, and no doubt about it, I'll always critize it more than any other mario party board. And that includes all of 9, 10, Island Tour, and Star Rushes Boards as even if they are not "exceptional" they have something good that I can honestly praise about it. Why does you, or to be more precise everyone who talks about this board always praise it to death. What makes this board so great? I'm probably gonna get a chance to play this board with friends directly, and see if my opinion changes.... and if it doesn't it's gonna be my EASIEST 1-star rated board that I'll ever give. Especially since there is a broken strategy that forces the other players to fight and try and choose someone to dominate, and yet you can EASILY use that to your advantage. The 2 Lucky Spaces, get 100 coins for each Lucky space (200 coins) Slowgo-dice onto those spaces, snag both Lucky Hotels, then all's you need is to grab 1 more hotel, and you basically have an easy win, if you get 2.... It's Impossible to lose.
The true best board of Mario Party 8 and one that is way too freaking low, is King Boo's Haunted Hideaway. That board is perfection.
You talk like 200 coins and slow go candies are easy to farm, the only bad thing is if you play so long that all the hotels have reached max money then you can't do much anymore.
@@mrpiccionedivino5598 that's the thing. In short games (10-20 turns) it's fine. But when you go to 25-50 turns, And it's a long game... That's when it becomes a major problem. If you are skilled enough of efficient enough, and get lucky, you can snag both lucky hotels, have no way for anyone else to get it, and it completely puts you at a massive advantage since the other 5 are fought by all 4 of you. Take control of 1 of those 5, And you are guaranteed winning. Your opponents are forced to decide if they have one person hold all the hotels so you don't win. Leading to two high scores and 2 low scores. But since everyone probably won't want to team up... It's gonna have them fighting over the hotels and you can just sit pretty and make sure you keep that one hotel that it yours safe.
If they had just eliminated the 100 coin hotel limit, that would have made this board better.
@@goldenyoshistar1I think it’s very boring against CPU’s, even on very hard difficulty I still win with all 7 hotels at 3 stars. I do think it’s the best board with real players
@corn1zgud4u42 even then... it's awful. My friends and I just played that board last night and 3 of them left after 23 of the 35 turns and it basically resulted in my sweeping the entire game. (Punishment for them leaving as 8's CPU's are total shit) the one person who stayed, ended up in second place. Overall, our rankings averaged out a 1 star. Yeah, that board is not as great as everyone says it is. And it's massively flawed beyond hell.
@@goldenyoshistar1 I think I enjoy it a lot because me and my friends our pretty equally skilled at the game which makes it a lot more competitive. Also we also just really like the setting of the board and music
I highly recommend mixing your audio better. You kept the main audio low and raspy but then the countdown ones REALLY loud. It made it extremely uncomfortable to watch, I had to stop about 15 mins in cause it was very frustrating. Sorry.
You're right but I still finished the video.
that was 50 minutes to get through all that lmao says the bad games are stupid yet likes most easy and not fun and punishing mechanics
Not counting 9 and 10 is dumb but decent video
Bro he said they're completely different from the first 8 + ds tracks so the ranking would be complicated(especially the star rush boards)
@@mrpiccionedivino5598 then he should change the title
@@ryanhindley174 yeah i agree if he was not going to rank the mp 9 and 10 boards then he should have changed the title becase he is not ranking all the mario party boards only 1-8 + ds
thats not dumb
not counting island tour is like not counting 8
So dumb i never understand this
@@evolutioner8573 just rank every board or separate the games. Anything else is so arbitrary
