OK, the fact this has only 180 views and you have only 64 (65 now) subscribers is criminal. The thumbnail is amazing and the editing is great! I’m actually kinda inspired to make retrospective videos like this keep up the good work!
0:14 Incorrect. False. I am the superstar. I AM THE SUPERSTAR! This was ironically the last Mario Party game I played, not counting the games that came out after I played it. And I didn't like it at all, and felt the community was right to call it the rough first entry in an otherwise excellent era. But a few months ago I replayed all the boards and it all just clicked for me. The simplicity of its mechanics, the high speed of the gameplay, the emphasis on bonus stars, and overall brutality of the game all give it merit, and while it's still far from my favorite Mario Party...it's alright for what it is, and I'm sure I'll play it now and again. Wholly disagree on the minigames though, I think this game's minigames are pretty bad. Not bad enough to ruin the game or anything, but not good enough for me to play any of them outside of the boards. I mean, this is the one with the control stick spinning minigames, I think that deserves to at least be mentioned for the legitimate pain it causes to play them. I actually think the more recent Mario Parties have generally better minigames than the series' "golden era". Calling Wario's Battle Canyon the only board with actual mechanics scared me at first, but I then realized you didn't play the two unlockable boards. I would argue Luigi's Engine Room has actual mechanics and is the best of the starting boards IMO, but whatever. The unlockable boards are by far the most complex in the game. However, Eternal Star is garbage and all of the ways it is complex are horrendously done. Bowser's Magma Mountain on the other hand has always been my favorite board in the game. It started out as my choice for the "most tolerable" board when I disliked the game, then became a board I legitimately liked a lot, and eventually made it into my top 10, and I would now put it just outside my top 5 boards in the entire series. I don't want to make this comment way too long explaining why (I do have an explanation written out that I commented somewhere else if you are interested for some reason), so I'll just say that's it's a board built for Mario Party 1. Every single aspect of this game in particular makes the board that much better.
