I love Mario Party 8 so much, definitely my favorite one. I actually found the motion controls to make the games more interactive and enjoyable, especially with friends and family. I also like Mario Party 7 and Super Mario Party a lot too.
Gotta say my favorite is Mario party 7, the board sizes were really good, the mini games were fun, and I like the concept of buying items to take over tiles to control the board in your favor. Plus unique orbs depending on character. I always wished the orbs were more expanded on for strategic gameplay
7 had a surprisingly great solo mode too. Not only did they completely change the way the board plays, but they even added leaderboards based on how many turns you took for each board. It's way more interesting than having you basically just play the game as normal like how 4 did with its solo mode.
@@kristendouglas3892 I just played it for the first time recently and I really enjoyed it! Sure it has no strategy but its fun to see your friends get bad luck and it actually matters to win every mini game.
Mario Party 3 seriously needs a re-release. It was pretty much the last game in the series that felt like a genuine step forward. 6 and 7 are superb, but they were more like iterations and tweaks on 5's ideas, whereas 3 not only expanded on 2's ideas but also made so many quality of life improvements. The biggest was being able to increase the speed of the board gameplay, which is a godsend especially in 50Hz. It's genuinely baffling that such a feature is exclusive to this entry only. By far its biggest flaw is how inaccessible it is. Thanks to it being a very late N64 release (it was literally the last N64 game released in the UK), it goes for insane prices nowadays. It cost me £75 to get my hands on a copy. It was certainly worth it in the end, but it would be even better if they just have it on Switch Online for roughly £7-10.

Mario Party games from 1 to 8 + handhelds are fun even when playing alone, but 9-10 are only playable with friends in my opinion. I think 10 is actually meant to be played with friends as it lacks a solo mode and could have been much better with online play Super Mario Party in the other hand is fun both with friends and alone thanks to online play and a mix of handheld and console (1-8) Mario Party games.
To me, I love all (except MP Advance) the MP games because they have 3 things in common 1. The characters stay the same although some new characters are included 2. The minigames are challenging yet creative with title puns and the boards are random with few surprises 3. I love the story modes with battling the bosses. All in all, I love watching people play and battle in these MP games because it's the coolest nintendo game series in history

The mini games are good, but there's no strategy to the boards which make playing boards less fun. Like why play the board since its not really competitive anymore?
Honestly, Mario Party DS is still my favourite. Also, Island Tour was kind of fun to me. Yes, it did have a lot of weird things going on, but some modes were really fun. I especially liked the final board.
I like to play Island Tour by myself more than with friends. The boards are very hit or miss. Star-Crossed Skyway, Bowser's Bizarre Volcano and Kamek's Carpet Ride are my favorites. Rocket Road is the absolute worst one and Perilous Palace Path is bland. Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain is meh, I play it sometimes. I wish I could play Shy Guy's Shuffle City though, the gameplay of it looked quite nice, even though it doesn't have many minigames in it. I would said that the highlight of Island Tour would be Bowser's Tower, I could play that mode endlessly.
Man Mario Party 4 is straight up nostalgia. Every time my sister travels home from New York, I'm always asking when we are gonna play Mario Party 4. Also stoked for you to rank the best 2D platformer series ever.
S tier 1. Mario Party 6 2. Mario Party 3 A tier 3. Mario Party 2 4. Mario Party DS 5. Mario Party 7 6. Mario Party Superstars B tier 7. Mario Party 4 8. Super Mario Party 9. Mario Party: Star Rush C tier 10. Mario Party 9 11. Mario Party 12. Mario Party 8 13. Mario Party 10 D tier 14. Mario Party 5 15. Mario Party: Island Tour 16. Mario Party Advance F tier 17. Mario Party: The Top 100
My list 1. Mario Party 8 - I really loved most of the minigames in this one, my favourite being the card game where you can summon different Mario characters in an Arena. The Story mode was also really cool and the boards were really unique and different. From going through the train and back again on the top to going through a randomized mansion. 2. Mario Party DS - The story mode was amazing again in this one. The Boss fights were all really cool and the theme of being tiny versions of the characters too. The minigames were charming, fun and really memorable. 3. Mario Party 4 - Literally just nostalgia lmao Super Mario Party was a big disappointment to me, the boards were boring and the minigames were few. I did like the characters and the new mechanic of having different strategic dices though.
Mario Party 5 will always be my favorite. The mini games were fun, it had interesting boards, I liked the capsule system and it had many interesting game modes such as the battle with cars you tune and have different weapons :D
I still like mario party 10 the most. Its a mix of working together and fun, with all the beautiful graphics and the bowser whos chasing u! Its just perfect!
When I first clicked on this video I thought it said 2.8M views for some reason. Then I watched it, found out that I made the right choice when I downloaded 6 for the Dolphin emulator, and now I'm only just realizing that the video only has 2.8K views. That's an even greater injustice than being forced into a car with other players for an entire game of Mario Party! (Side story: My first Mario Party experience was 8 on my old Wii when I was six years old. I thought it was fun but I also raged every single time. Then 9 came out and I got it around launch time... at the time I preferred it to 8 for some stupid reason, but in hindsight neither of them were very good. Now I play 3 and 6 on emulators all the time and they're both amazing, who cares about "m0dErN gRaPHiCs")
I loved Mario Party 3, it was the first Mario Party game I've ever played! The boards, the minigames, the soundtracks, Waluigi and Daisy, they're all amazing! 🥰💖
Today I just randomly thought to type in “Mario party games ranked from worst to best” and found this video that you posted an hour ago. Very well done man, nice to see a good analysis done on each of these games, and I’m sure this would have taken awhile. I liked and subscribed, cheers!
MP advance may not be a good Mario Party game, but I still enjoyed the laid-back gameplay of helping everyone in Shroom City, as well as playing some decent minigames here and there. Floor It is probably my favorite minigame in the series, in fact. It's a shame that MPA can only really be experienced alone, but I still prefer most parties over this one.
I couldnt agree more!! Everyone who talks about Mario Party praises Mario Party 2 too much....yes, its great but its not the best. And I am happy that the finale was between Mario Party 3 and Mario Party 6 as those are clearly the most complete and polished games in the series, not to mention the ones that I feel balanced skill and luck the best. I even loved that Mario Party 7 was 3rd as it is usually overlooked for being the next Mario Party to 6, and it didnt change that much, but the reality is that it kept the polish of that game and its objectively one of the best ones out there. I love Mario Party and I have played all the console iterations, except Mario Party 10 and I also played Mario Party DS and this is the first ranked list that i could get behind! Great job!!
Mario Party 2 is one of my favourite entries, but even I think some of the praise is unwarranted. It feels more like an expansion on the first game as opposed to a full blown sequel, which is understandable. The first game was very rough and unpolished, so instead of continuing to come up with experimental ideas, they decided to play it safe and simply polish up the gameplay to a more than satisfactory level while still bringing in a few new ideas. The end result is a solid game and is when Mario Party went from a novelty to an excellent multiplayer franchise. For all these reasons alongside the costumes, it's easy to see why it's so highly regarded. That said, it's still the second entry, so there are issues that were ironed out in the third entry. From a design perspective, the biggest issue is the pace breaking item and duel minigames. When particularly playing 35 and especially 50 turn games, it gets so boring having to play the same simplistic minigames over and over again just to win an item or steal coins. In retrospect, this makes the 'one item at a time' system more of a blessing than a curse. On top of that, the issue of changing cpus to player characters when playing on your own still hasn't been addressed, making it a game that is vastly preferable with friends just like the first game, a flaw that Mario Party 3 rightfully corrected with the Story Mode. Having said all of this, Mario Party 2 is still one of the best games on the Nintendo 64, and one of the best entries in the series.
Appreciate what MP5 was going for. Unlike in every other Mario Party where you have one guy just beating everyone else in minigames all the time and getting magic lamps (or whatever that MP uses as equivalent) left and right + stealing stars from other players once they manage to get one, in MP5 the noobs will be able to keep trying for a win cus items you get are randomized and there's no way to consistently screw over other players. Also like the incentive of just throwing out items on to a space cus you get them for free. Can even overlap opponent's spaces just to be safe. It's a risk reward where you might wanna use an orb for something but there's the risk of landing on enemy space that will take away your coins or orbs so you may wanna just overlap it with the one you wanted to use on yourself. Kinda sucks if you've paid for that orb like in 6 and 7 and gotta do the overlap. It's a gotta work with what you're given kind of game. Minigames seem top notch.
I spent 3 years of my childhood playing mp island tour, and loved it. It was that weird phase where the wii was kind of dead, but the next home console wasn't announced yet, soooooo...
You have a solid list, MP5 was my first one of the series I got it for Christmas when it came out so it’s probably my favorite but when it comes to overall gameplay and boards I agree with 3&6 being the best!
Fun fact: 4 has the honor of being the very first video game I ever played! My parents and I love the GameCube parties to bits and we still play them all to this very day, with 7 being my all time favorite!
I feel like anyone who has played the classic mario parties is gonna hate on 9 and 10, which are the ones that i enjoyed. I dont hate the classics but i remember having fun playing mario party 9 in the old days. Am i just stupid or...
In the short time I've been playing Mario Party 1 this past week after buying it at a game store, I gotta say I super love it. You can say what you want about 1v3s being unbalanced and coin loss for losing minigames being dumb, but I really enjoy playing a Mario Party game that's ruthless in its punishment. It has a good balance of fun minigames vs minigames that make you groan, and I find those frustrating ones to just be a part of the experience. Overall a really fun game if you see it with a certain mindset.
Geez, I only own Mario parties star rush, island tour, 9, 10, Super mario party, and top 100. There are freaking 16 of them. Welp, I know what I’m getting when I move out of my house.(also, didn’t expect Advance to be in last, also, to me, the worst is island tour, the best are 7, and 8 for sure) And hopefully next year we’ll get a new GREAT Mario party!
Finally someone that gives Mario Party 7 the respect it deserves!! It was very polished and it has possibly the best boards and the least amount of bad minigames in the series.
Great list, to me Mario Party 5 is one of my favourite because it has the best single player content and the best side mode : the battle tank mode ! (And I can already feel like we're gonna disagree on the DKC video >
@@DerNeik actually I did, I played the older ones and those are also great games, but mario party 9 is my first Mario party which holds a special place in me

@@thepenguinboi8679 He probably ranked 10 higher than 9 because of the Bowser mode. Well, I think he might also think 10’s mini games are better than 9’s and I also agree with that.
I had so many memories when I play Mario Party but every time I watch this video it makes me wanna play it again. But GREAT LIST!!! I enjoyed the video.
The ranking would look pretty much like that for me: xx.Advance- never played or watched, not ranked 15.Star Rush- weird and bad concept, bad minigames 14.Island Tour- terrible party mode, only saved from last by the tower mode 13.MP10- i do not automatically hate the concept, but the minigames where bad and the fact they brought a ,,chance time like'' space in that mode with only stars makes the game even worse 12.MP1- just to much based on luck and still boring 11.MP8- alright, but this moderator is freakin annoying 10.MP Top 100- funny and the minimgames are cool, but it gets boring pretty fast 9.Super MP- Good, would be better with bigger boards 8.MP7- very good, but i never used to have this game 7.MP 6- same here, but more innovative 6.MP 3- a great game 5.MP 9- ok party mode, but every other mode in this game is amazing and so are the minigames. It was also my first console mario party so kinda nostalgic 4.MP 5- all in all amazing and the chaotic chapsule system lifts the party mode up even more 3.MP DS- my first mario party game, i just love it 2.MP 2- pretty much perfection and epicness in every aspect 1.MP 4- same counts for this, but the graphics are massively better
@Red Yoshi187 6 and even 2 I understand, but not 4. The boards are dull, repetitive and uninspired, and the pacing is awful. Characters moving around the board slowly is a huge chore to sit through, especially after 3 allowing the player to increase character speed on the boards to cut down tremendously on wasted time.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I loved 4 man, idk if it was because I got it for Christmas with the GameCube, maybe it’s just my nostalgia when it comes to it, but it’s so hard for me to say out of those 3 I mentioned, in my opinion 2,4&6 went crazy, I’m not sleeping on 3 tho trust me it cracks my top 5, when that game was new I played Mario party 3 all the time with my friends and family
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 u kno wat man, I’ll give it to U, I’ll throw Mario party 3 in that same category I put 2,4&6 in, it’s hard af to choose man
Mario party 4 is the game that I had in my house growing up. So it brings up a lot of nostalgia. There was so much crap like the beginning of the toad board where you just get stuck in a loop,so frustrating. So the strategy in my household was just win all the mini games get a lot of coins and just keep on buying magic lamps and Boos to try to get stars. Still had a lot of fun with this title and cherish it. Great video!
Might be controversial but I’ve always found Mario party 9 my favourite. Yes the car mechanic might not be good but I love it. I find it more rewarding to go through mini stars or to land on a good space as it suggests its high level of skill involved
Mario Party 1 and 2 are childhood for sure! Especially 2, I loved the outfits and boards! Crazy thing is, I didn’t even have a N64, my brothers didn’t really play Nintendo anymore at that point, they had PlayStations. But I played this game so much with my cousins and friends! I think I also played the first Wii Mario party, but I don’t really remember it. When I got my switch a few years ago, super Mario party was the first game I bought. I was so excited to play it with my nieces and share some of the fun I used to have. I really like the new modes in it, like the team mode, but the boards were a little underwhelming when my memory of the game boards were 1 and 2.
my opinion: 🥇 Mario Party 6 🥈 Mario Party 7 🥉 Mario Party 8 4. Mario Party 10 5. Mario Party 2 6. Super Mario Party 7. Mario Party Superstars 8. Mario Party 3 9. Mario Party 5 10. Mario Party Star Rush 11. Mario Party 4 12. Mario Party DS 13. Mario Party Island Tour 14. Mario Party 9 15. Mario Party 1 16. Mario Party the top 100 17. Mario Party Advance
I am not sure if it is the best as that is subjective but MP3 was my favorite as well. Not only did they fix most of the balancing issues from the previous 2 games but the introduction of the duel mode having partners and managing resources was an excellent decision, probably inspired from tabletop games. Also having a final boss in story mode was a really cool concept at the time.
I personally think Mario Party 10 is worse than 9, because at least 9 pulled off what they tried to do with the "everyone moves together" thing better, with better boards and a better character roster. I feel like as for minigames, they're tied, I believe they both actually have amazing minigames and can't decide who wins there, but either way I think 9 is better
I can't believe you said 'there definitely still are fun ones' for Mario Party 8 minigames then showed the absolute bane of my existence, sick and twisted (maybe I'm just salty because I was always terrible at it)
Mario Party 10 is one of the best of the games, nothings changing my mind it was one of my first mario party's, and just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad
My number one is Mario Party 4, because it is on GC but without any Gimmicks, best Items, Shops and the ghost crystals. The Single Player Mode is nice as well. And like you said: The best Mini Games. I like the special fields "Reversal of fortune" and the special events. That game feels so fucking well balanced between luck and skill.
Mario party Ds is my favorite and childhood. I love the variety it has, as well as choosing how to party. Duel(1vs1), battle royale(all vs each other), and tag battle (2vs2).
to be completely honest, the top 4 games honestly deserve the titles of top Mario Party games. Mario Party 2, 3, 6, and 7 deserve to be highly placed games. Heck, my personal favorite Mario Party game is Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7 is a close second only due to nostalgia.

The mini games are good, but there's no strategy to the boards which make playing boards less fun. Like why play the board since its not really competitive anymore?

@@InfiniteBits Your welcome, I know you put so much time into your video!
I agree! This guys works super hard on his video and doesn’t have that much subs
@@InfiniteBits idiot
@@donatocapuzzi06 shut up!
My list
1. Mario Party 8 - I really loved most of the minigames in this one, my favourite being the card game where you can summon different Mario characters in an Arena. The Story mode was also really cool and the boards were really unique and different. From going through the train and back again on the top to going through a randomized mansion.
2. Mario Party DS - The story mode was amazing again in this one. The Boss fights were all really cool and the theme of being tiny versions of the characters too. The minigames were charming, fun and really memorable.
3. Mario Party 4 - Literally just nostalgia lmao
Super Mario Party was a big disappointment to me, the boards were boring and the minigames were few. I did like the characters and the new mechanic of having different strategic dices though.
Mario Party 5 will always be my favorite. The mini games were fun, it had interesting boards, I liked the capsule system and it had many interesting game modes such as the battle with cars you tune and have different weapons :D
Yeah. Mario Party 4,5 and 8 (and the DS one) are he top ones for me
I still like mario party 10 the most. Its a mix of working together and fun, with all the beautiful graphics and the bowser whos chasing u! Its just perfect!
When I first clicked on this video I thought it said 2.8M views for some reason. Then I watched it, found out that I made the right choice when I downloaded 6 for the Dolphin emulator, and now I'm only just realizing that the video only has 2.8K views. That's an even greater injustice than being forced into a car with other players for an entire game of Mario Party!
(Side story: My first Mario Party experience was 8 on my old Wii when I was six years old. I thought it was fun but I also raged every single time. Then 9 came out and I got it around launch time... at the time I preferred it to 8 for some stupid reason, but in hindsight neither of them were very good. Now I play 3 and 6 on emulators all the time and they're both amazing, who cares about "m0dErN gRaPHiCs")
Nice ranking. For me it is Mario Party 1. I remember playing that game every day after school with my neighbor friends. Ah the memories
I loved Mario Party 3, it was the first Mario Party game I've ever played! The boards, the minigames, the soundtracks, Waluigi and Daisy, they're all amazing! 🥰💖
Today I just randomly thought to type in “Mario party games ranked from worst to best” and found this video that you posted an hour ago. Very well done man, nice to see a good analysis done on each of these games, and I’m sure this would have taken awhile. I liked and subscribed, cheers!
That is awesome to hear man! Thank you, glad you were able to find the channel!
MP advance may not be a good Mario Party game, but I still enjoyed the laid-back gameplay of helping everyone in Shroom City, as well as playing some decent minigames here and there. Floor It is probably my favorite minigame in the series, in fact. It's a shame that MPA can only really be experienced alone, but I still prefer most parties over this one.
They should have named it differently.
If it was named Mario: Shroom City you would all eat it up EVERY ONE OF YOU
Tbh now I dont think it's as good as I remember
I couldnt agree more!! Everyone who talks about Mario Party praises Mario Party 2 too much....yes, its great but its not the best. And I am happy that the finale was between Mario Party 3 and Mario Party 6 as those are clearly the most complete and polished games in the series, not to mention the ones that I feel balanced skill and luck the best. I even loved that Mario Party 7 was 3rd as it is usually overlooked for being the next Mario Party to 6, and it didnt change that much, but the reality is that it kept the polish of that game and its objectively one of the best ones out there. I love Mario Party and I have played all the console iterations, except Mario Party 10 and I also played Mario Party DS and this is the first ranked list that i could get behind! Great job!!
Mario Party 2 is one of my favourite entries, but even I think some of the praise is unwarranted. It feels more like an expansion on the first game as opposed to a full blown sequel, which is understandable. The first game was very rough and unpolished, so instead of continuing to come up with experimental ideas, they decided to play it safe and simply polish up the gameplay to a more than satisfactory level while still bringing in a few new ideas. The end result is a solid game and is when Mario Party went from a novelty to an excellent multiplayer franchise. For all these reasons alongside the costumes, it's easy to see why it's so highly regarded.
That said, it's still the second entry, so there are issues that were ironed out in the third entry. From a design perspective, the biggest issue is the pace breaking item and duel minigames. When particularly playing 35 and especially 50 turn games, it gets so boring having to play the same simplistic minigames over and over again just to win an item or steal coins. In retrospect, this makes the 'one item at a time' system more of a blessing than a curse. On top of that, the issue of changing cpus to player characters when playing on your own still hasn't been addressed, making it a game that is vastly preferable with friends just like the first game, a flaw that Mario Party 3 rightfully corrected with the Story Mode. Having said all of this, Mario Party 2 is still one of the best games on the Nintendo 64, and one of the best entries in the series.
Yeah mario party 2 is kinda overrated. It had some games directly brought back from the first one. 3 and 6 were better
man i am so happy someone is ranking dk country it is such a underrated series just like this channel.
Thank you dude, it's gonna be a great video, I love those games
as soon as I saw mario party nine below THE BEST 100 I knew this was innaccurate
Mario Party 9 has the best minigame selection I've ever seen
Appreciate what MP5 was going for. Unlike in every other Mario Party where you have one guy just beating everyone else in minigames all the time and getting magic lamps (or whatever that MP uses as equivalent) left and right + stealing stars from other players once they manage to get one, in MP5 the noobs will be able to keep trying for a win cus items you get are randomized and there's no way to consistently screw over other players. Also like the incentive of just throwing out items on to a space cus you get them for free. Can even overlap opponent's spaces just to be safe. It's a risk reward where you might wanna use an orb for something but there's the risk of landing on enemy space that will take away your coins or orbs so you may wanna just overlap it with the one you wanted to use on yourself. Kinda sucks if you've paid for that orb like in 6 and 7 and gotta do the overlap. It's a gotta work with what you're given kind of game. Minigames seem top notch.

Thanks man! Appreciate all the likes!
I spent 3 years of my childhood playing mp island tour, and loved it. It was that weird phase where the wii was kind of dead, but the next home console wasn't announced yet, soooooo...
Same
You have a solid list, MP5 was my first one of the series I got it for Christmas when it came out so it’s probably my favorite but when it comes to overall gameplay and boards I agree with 3&6 being the best!
Mario Party 5 actually is my favorite one, because Boo appears first time as a playable character.
Fun fact: 4 has the honor of being the very first video game I ever played! My parents and I love the GameCube parties to bits and we still play them all to this very day, with 7 being my all time favorite!
Getting some SpaceHamster vibes from this guy and I'm here for it
Thank you bro, I love that guy!
I think my favourite Mario Parties are: 7, 4 and DS.
I feel like anyone who has played the classic mario parties is gonna hate on 9 and 10, which are the ones that i enjoyed. I dont hate the classics but i remember having fun playing mario party 9 in the old days. Am i just stupid or...
No you're based that means you don't follow the loud crowd ,i think mp9 is great , I didn't play mp10 but i don't think it's that bad too
I’ve always said that Mario Party 9 turned Mario Party from Monopoly into Candy Land. You see it too, right?

In the short time I've been playing Mario Party 1 this past week after buying it at a game store, I gotta say I super love it. You can say what you want about 1v3s being unbalanced and coin loss for losing minigames being dumb, but I really enjoy playing a Mario Party game that's ruthless in its punishment. It has a good balance of fun minigames vs minigames that make you groan, and I find those frustrating ones to just be a part of the experience. Overall a really fun game if you see it with a certain mindset.
Geez, I only own Mario parties star rush, island tour, 9, 10, Super mario party, and top 100. There are freaking 16 of them. Welp, I know what I’m getting when I move out of my house.(also, didn’t expect Advance to be in last, also, to me, the worst is island tour, the best are 7, and 8 for sure) And hopefully next year we’ll get a new GREAT Mario party!
Haha I know, when did they make so many of them
I have the same ones except instead of star rush I have top 100 and 8
Finally someone that gives Mario Party 7 the respect it deserves!! It was very polished and it has possibly the best boards and the least amount of bad minigames in the series.
lets go mario party 7 is the best mario party in my opinion
@@dagoatwurmple9910 I think it probably is too. 3 and 7 are the top 2 overall. You have rankings?
Mario Party 9 and 10 are super underrated
I am fully for this man having like 9 midroll ads on this video. The editing and effort is so good it deserves the extra revenue
I take back what I said. Mario party 8 and DS are by far the best 2 and it’s not even close. Very disappointed 😂
Wow thank you man! That is nice to hear! Didn't even know there were 9 of them tbh haha so I think I'll tone down the amount for future videos
@@InfiniteBits nah theres probably a few less but dont worry about it, its quality content
Great list, to me Mario Party 5 is one of my favourite because it has the best single player content and the best side mode : the battle tank mode ! (And I can already feel like we're gonna disagree on the DKC video >
Thank you man and we'll seee it'll be interesting seeing your response on that vid
I'll defend the masterpiece known as Mario party 9 forever and ever
You haven't played the older ones, have you?
I have played the other Mario Parties but for some reason Mario Party 9 is my favorite
@@DerNeik actually I did, I played the older ones and those are also great games, but mario party 9 is my first Mario party which holds a special place in me
@@Camde667dotcom Yeah, okay, well I can't counterargue that :D Nostalgia can't be beaten I guess :)
even when it came out i thought the minigames were fun but the actual board game was trash
I’ll give you 5 reasons Mario Party 9 is good.
1. Good music
2. Story mode
3. New characters
4. Luigi
5. Boss Battles
Luigi is in all mario party games
@Volvoman that’s the joke
Hey congrats on 3k
Hope to see u at 4K soon
Great to hear man! Thank you!
I-I liked Mario Party 9…
Me too😊
My fav.
I-I like Mario Party Island Tour
@UltraMarioBrothers I did too, in my opinion, best 3ds mario party (mario party ds doesn't count cuz it was on ds.)
@@NuggetMasterGuy tbh there’s not really any Mario Party I hate, I really only hate Top 100 and I dislike Mario Party Advance.
“All 16”
Mario party E: am I joke to u?
The Japanese Arcade Mario Party’s: Am I a Joke to u?
8 was one of the best in my opinion the boards were super in depth and interactive and it had some of the best mini games to date

Thank you man! Nice ranking as well
I disagree with 10 completely but I respect your opinion
@@thepenguinboi8679 He probably ranked 10 higher than 9 because of the Bowser mode. Well, I think he might also think 10’s mini games are better than 9’s and I also agree with that.
@@cutiefriendsadventures7129 I dislike both honestly
@@cutiefriendsadventures7129 Tbh I overlooked the flaws of 10. I like the game, but it has its problems
I had so many memories when I play Mario Party but every time I watch this video it makes me wanna play it again. But GREAT LIST!!! I enjoyed the video.
Technically speaking you're missing Mario Party e, but that's kinda a hybrid game and board game.
Yeah mario party e is very forgotten
Mario party e sucks
@@cesarmed. no, it doesn't
@@AlextheHomo in my opinion
FINALLY, someone who doesn’t look at MP2 with Nostalgia-tinted Glasses!
Infinite Bits' fanbase is good nobody is saying that "you forget my favorite Mario Party game, Mario Party E"
Thanks! Yes we have the best fanbase here!!
The ranking would look pretty much like that for me:
xx.Advance- never played or watched, not ranked
15.Star Rush- weird and bad concept, bad minigames
14.Island Tour- terrible party mode, only saved from last by the tower mode
13.MP10- i do not automatically hate the concept, but the minigames where bad and the fact they brought a ,,chance time like'' space in that mode with only stars makes the game even worse
12.MP1- just to much based on luck and still boring
11.MP8- alright, but this moderator is freakin annoying
10.MP Top 100- funny and the minimgames are cool, but it gets boring pretty fast
9.Super MP- Good, would be better with bigger boards
8.MP7- very good, but i never used to have this game
7.MP 6- same here, but more innovative
6.MP 3- a great game
5.MP 9- ok party mode, but every other mode in this game is amazing and so are the minigames. It was also my first console mario party so kinda nostalgic
4.MP 5- all in all amazing and the chaotic chapsule system lifts the party mode up even more
3.MP DS- my first mario party game, i just love it
2.MP 2- pretty much perfection and epicness in every aspect
1.MP 4- same counts for this, but the graphics are massively better
MP4 isn't great.
You know somebody is speaking facts when Mario Party 3 ranks number one
Damnnnnn right thanks man!
Sorry buddy Mario party 3 is not the best one, it’s either 2 4 or 6
@Red Yoshi187
6 and even 2 I understand, but not 4. The boards are dull, repetitive and uninspired, and the pacing is awful. Characters moving around the board slowly is a huge chore to sit through, especially after 3 allowing the player to increase character speed on the boards to cut down tremendously on wasted time.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I loved 4 man, idk if it was because I got it for Christmas with the GameCube, maybe it’s just my nostalgia when it comes to it, but it’s so hard for me to say out of those 3 I mentioned, in my opinion 2,4&6 went crazy, I’m not sleeping on 3 tho trust me it cracks my top 5, when that game was new I played Mario party 3 all the time with my friends and family
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 u kno wat man, I’ll give it to U, I’ll throw Mario party 3 in that same category I put 2,4&6 in, it’s hard af to choose man
Mario party 4 is the game that I had in my house growing up. So it brings up a lot of nostalgia. There was so much crap like the beginning of the toad board where you just get stuck in a loop,so frustrating. So the strategy in my household was just win all the mini games get a lot of coins and just keep on buying magic lamps and Boos to try to get stars. Still had a lot of fun with this title and cherish it. Great video!
Might be controversial but I’ve always found Mario party 9 my favourite. Yes the car mechanic might not be good but I love it. I find it more rewarding to go through mini stars or to land on a good space as it suggests its high level of skill involved
W
Thank you for agreeing. I like mario party superstars more, but if i just have 2 friends over, we will play mario party 9. We don't wanna play CPU's
Oh man! I can't wait to see the DK rankings!
Thank you man! It'll be a good one!
@@InfiniteBits super excited 👍👍
Mario Party 1 and 2 are childhood for sure! Especially 2, I loved the outfits and boards! Crazy thing is, I didn’t even have a N64, my brothers didn’t really play Nintendo anymore at that point, they had PlayStations. But I played this game so much with my cousins and friends! I think I also played the first Wii Mario party, but I don’t really remember it.
When I got my switch a few years ago, super Mario party was the first game I bought. I was so excited to play it with my nieces and share some of the fun I used to have. I really like the new modes in it, like the team mode, but the boards were a little underwhelming when my memory of the game boards were 1 and 2.
my opinion:
🥇 Mario Party 6
🥈 Mario Party 7
🥉 Mario Party 8

Thanks bro, appreciate hearing that
I’ll say I loved Mario Party 9 and the 3ds and DS Mario games, so nostagic, especially Mario Party 9
Great video excited for the Donkey Kong Country ranking
Awesome to hear man! It'll be good! Thank you

That's great to hear that! Out of curiosity, where have you seem my videos recommended?
@@InfiniteBits
It appeared in my recommendeds in one Mario Maker video I was watching, then I saw it recommended again in the main page.
The First Mario Party I Played Was Mario Party 10
You could have just done the console ones, but props for doing all the ones that nobody really remembers.
Thank bro! Ya I would've felt odd leaving some out, so I said screw it were doing everything!
:)
I’m happy he did all of them honestly
Thank you for the video, and your video editing. Enjoyed it all. Made me even happier that I just bought authentic Mario party 3 lol
Me? Mario party 3, will always be my favorite. My number 1.
MARIO PARTY 9 N°15 EXCUSE MEEEEEEEE?!!!!
Man
The Minigames and modes are incredible ;-;
But I won't complain, I'm not here for it
I am not sure if it is the best as that is subjective but MP3 was my favorite as well. Not only did they fix most of the balancing issues from the previous 2 games but the introduction of the duel mode having partners and managing resources was an excellent decision, probably inspired from tabletop games. Also having a final boss in story mode was a really cool concept at the time.
I personally think Mario Party 10 is worse than 9, because at least 9 pulled off what they tried to do with the "everyone moves together" thing better, with better boards and a better character roster. I feel like as for minigames, they're tied, I believe they both actually have amazing minigames and can't decide who wins there, but either way I think 9 is better
I agree. I also miss captain events and bowser jr minigames.
Mario Party DS was a blast! It was so good i got obsessed with the soap minigame and camera shy minigame
Mario party ds is my fav bc i have played that with my brother every time we went on vacation
I can't believe you said 'there definitely still are fun ones' for Mario Party 8 minigames then showed the absolute bane of my existence, sick and twisted (maybe I'm just salty because I was always terrible at it)
When he ranks the two games you had as the highest :D
I didn't really play 6 but maybe I should. Was glad he put 3 as number 1 though
Mario Party 10 is one of the best of the games, nothings changing my mind it was one of my first mario party's, and just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad
No one cares
Good stuff man!! The amount of effort and skills in these videos is unreal!!!
Thanks again dawg!
Mario Party 10 was my first ever Mario Party game I've ever played!
You should try ranking EVERY mario game ever!
Wait...There's around 200 of them?
Wtf why? How?
...Nevermind.
Yeah sure, just gonna take 5 years and it'll be uploaded
@@InfiniteBits See you then!
My number one is Mario Party 4, because it is on GC but without any Gimmicks, best Items, Shops and the ghost crystals. The Single Player Mode is nice as well. And like you said: The best Mini Games. I like the special fields "Reversal of fortune" and the special events. That game feels so fucking well balanced between luck and skill.
First Top 10 sorta video I agree all the way with, every single pick was exactly what i would do. Why don't you have more subscribers?
Thank you bro, awesome to hear. Just trying to grow the channel now to whoever watches
Mario party Ds is my favorite and childhood. I love the variety it has, as well as choosing how to party. Duel(1vs1), battle royale(all vs each other), and tag battle (2vs2).
Tbh I think that MP7 needs more recognition as a good game in the series
Like I think that barely anyone ever talks about this one on the same level as 2 and 6 when I think 7 is very solid
Same with 3
to be completely honest, the top 4 games honestly deserve the titles of top Mario Party games. Mario Party 2, 3, 6, and 7 deserve to be highly placed games. Heck, my personal favorite Mario Party game is Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7 is a close second only due to nostalgia.
I grew up with Mario party DS man. It’s one of my favorite DS games, and my favorite Mario Party Game
Same
