Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well!
Wanted to make a series where I "review" certain games that I care about, and the Mario Party games are gonna be the big ones! Leave a comment on anything you didn't like/could be improved (bad explanations on things, editing wasn't good, certain parts were too short or too long, etc.), and if I mentioned something incorrectly, let me know so I can make the corrections here!
Thanks for watching!...
... I forgot the Hidden Block Card for items... well that item just gives you a Hidden Block at the moment, either coins or a star. Fun fact: it's NOT predetermined, meaning if you use the item and get 5 coins, then reset your game and use it again, you could get a star lol
I know all the Mario Party games might take a while for you to review, but there's no rush. We can be patient, y'know...
...take your time.
I am all for a review of every Mario Party game but did not expect you to do one game per video. Oh well more content for us, Also all your references from different forms of media tells me you had one of the happiest childhoods
I'm curious about something.
In other mario parties, if you roll all 7s with a double or triple dice block, you get an additional coin bonus.
Does superstars has that too or they removed it?
For the double and triple dice I'm pretty sure you get more coins if you get all 7s
Your voice is absolutely perfect for reviewing. I can't wait to see later videos in this style! (Of course I'll watch your other videos because your content is great either way)
No DLC is criminal. So many maps and minigames they could’ve added
Kinda crazy how everyone nowadays is complaining about dlc when a complete game comes out. I mean I wanted dlc for this game too. Had so much potential. It's just kinda funny to me
@@thezard7013 I think the more frustrating part is that this is the game that would have most benefited from DLC, and actually deserved DLC due to how successful and well received it was, yet it got nothing. Most other games like Mario Strikers Battle League get DLC, but Superstars gets ignored.
@@KingOfSkill Well, I assume that is due to the game being actually complete. Move onto the next project and that's it I guess
While I also wish the game had dlc or the very least, two or three more boards, I understand why it didn't. At the end of the day, dlc is more resources and that could be put in a new game.
Mario Party is not Smash, Splatoon and Mario Kart. With the sports games, they tried the Splatoon route and that simply didn't work because the audience is different, same goes for Superstars.
If they end up doing a sequel, I think they just need to put more content. More mini games, more boards, more modes.
@@georgelongcoal1117 i don't think 5 boards is being "complete"
“It’s practically impossible to time the third block in Chance Time”
*THE VERNIAS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU*
THE VERN NATION TIMEATION
To be fair, he fell out of practice for Chance time ever since the gang banned the custom dice into Chance time combo.
@@matthiashopkins7502 THE VERN NATION CALCULATION
@@egbertmilton4003 Party Crashers Patch Notes
Custom Dice:
Cannot be used to land on Chance Time
Developer Notes: We saw that Vernias had spent a long time learning the timing needed to have complete control over Chance Time instead of the standard of having control of the first two chosen blocks. Despite the third being arguably the least important choice, we have decided to greatly lower the chances of landing on this space by severely nerfing the Custom Dice block and where you're allowed to go with it, to indirectly nerf Vernias. We could've done something that would've affected everyone equally, like making it that you cannot spam at the start to make it guaranteed that a star is stolen, but no, let us make the guy who learned how to channel their inner metronome suffer and make them lose that connection. Oh, he isn't even the one who gets first the most often? Doesn't matter. In fact, since you complained, we're gonna buff Brent in the next balance patch! Maybe then you'll learn to shut your mouth and not complain or criticize the higher ups.
Idk why I wrote all of that, I only just heard of this rule
@@doomclasher92871984
I love how every instance of Brent getting Chance Time involved him taking a star from Wario.
Y'know, to the surprise of absolutely nobody.
One could even say, if they were so inclined….
He Picked WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIO
@Bertiboy not loud enough i think you mean YOU PICK WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🦀
One would think they learned from mario party 7 where the blue mushroom was the most overpowered item in the game (Essentially a custom dice block but you still need to do a bit of timing with it). Then they nerfed it in 8 so you can only move 1 to 5 spaces (still very good) but you still have to time it.
Superstars really said: "Just pick whatever number you want from 1 to 10 without requiring any skill at all for 12 coins"
It would be fine as a lucky item, but it being so common and cheap to buy is a major problem. They should have instead had the 1-5 as its replacement, with the 1-10 being available to 4th.
This is why I can't play on Yoshi's tropical island. The optimal way to play that board is just to stock up on custom dice blocks so Toad is never on the right side of the board.
I’d say Superstars is good. A solid 8/10. It could’ve been WAY better, but it’s what the Mario Party series NEEDED to be good again
Yeah mario party need a "return to the basic" after some experiments(especially since those experiments were not that great)
The Wii/Wii U/3DS era was baaaad. Like, I get it. They wanted to try something different, but my problem was how much they insisted on hated gimmicks.
I understood what they were trying to do in 9. New developer, wanted to try something new. But 10, Island Tour, Star Rush and Top 100 were just being stubborn and ignoring the negative feedback.
Yeah, Super was baby steps (on paper what people wanted but still had work that needed to be done, especially with how slow the games felt), Superstars is where it's at
They probably went basic due to that since Mario party hasn’t been well received for a while. So they probably played it safe just to test waters. Hopefully people intrest in the game will encourage them to make more
@@Yoshixandir They should have always stay with the basics. Like someone above said them refusing to listen to negative feedback is what brought MP where is at. They only have themselves to blame for that.
Ninetendo looking at the Mario Games:
-Base Mario being held up
-Mario Kart drowning
-Mario Party in the water
RPG Mario is just some Leviathan living in the ocean.
mario sports currently stuck in limbo
Strikers is dead
Seriously Nintendo where is Mario Kart 9?
@@gamerboyfrecleface6157 Hey, Mario Kart 8 got the Booster Course Pass recently, doubling Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's total tracks. Keep in mind, the amount of tracks the Booster Course Pass gave us equal the amount of tracks Mario Kart 8 had WITH its original DLC.
It’s so sad Nintendo hasn’t included any DLC after its successful launch. More maps and characters would make this game even better than it already is.
Ya
Was hoping to play some of the other boards from 4-7 since I never played those.
Even ones from 8 and DS I’d love to see just to be a geek and see the updated graphics.
"It only has 5 boards. All content is reused. It has little to no replayability. Still, there goes the best damned Mario Party we've had in more than a decade"
It is frustrating how this style of party game has like no competition, so they get away with this any day of the week
@@indigo7898 Because a lot of Mario Party clones are either mediocre or awful.
That and attention since it's Mario and Mario Party as a game for friends. It will turn a lot more heads than anything significantly less known than Mario.
@@PerfectAzrael Primarily the first aspect. It's good to be original, but you have to be original in the right way. Replacing the dice roll with a weird mechanic that the CPUs exploit the shit out of, or reducing or even removing multiplayer minigames, in a Mario Party clone, is the wrong way to be original. At least there's no mainline Mario Party game (not sure about spinoffs like Star Rush or Top 100) that fails in those regards.
@@indigo7898Superstars is popular because it's a mostly balanced game (MOSTLY), compared to a lot of mainline.
If Nintendo struggles this much to get it right on the poster child imagine how all the other party games are doing right now.
The worst of all is that Nintendo completely forgot about Superstars because it has more potential and, above all, more scenarios... you can say that this game was created to calm nostalgic people.
In fact i think Nintendo remember more Super Mario Party since they added actual online play like almost 3 year's after the game came out
Honestly, the literal no love for mario party ds made me pretty sad, like i feel like some of the minigames could have been adapted pretty well.
Yeah they only did it for nostalgia only, it’s still good but had lots of potential
I think everyone would prefer dlc but Nintendo would rather release a whole new game every 2/3 years for full price.
This isn't Brent reading a script.
This is Brent just knowing all of this and just spitting it perfectly
lol no
"Instead of going outside, King of Skill practices minigames and memorizes video dialogue, so cringe bro." - TCNick3, probably
@@doomclasher9287you here?
@@andrzej8144 oh... hello there
It's absolutely insane this game never got any kind of updates. Not even a second board from Mario Party 3.
Speaking of Mario Party 3 it's baffling how a game that's over 20 years old and on a console that had limited storage has more content than a modern Switch version
It's quite stupid how 1 & 2 have two boards, while 3 only has one. It's uneven.
Oooooooh interesting and different video Brent would love to see you do this with the rest of the main series at least
Just watch ZoomZike lol
Identifying luck is definitely similar. Zoom zike has done this for mario parties 1-8, though he was planning on stopping at 7.
Definitely want to see brents view though too.
This video is so different from what's usually on the channel, it would be very nice to see more of these reviews
Agree it’s very informative and it’s a good way for newcomers to get a idea what the game is
It's honestly pretty sad this game was abandoned and really only made for nostalgia. No Bowser Board or Secret bonus board? That's just crazy honestly it really deserved DLC
Nice to see you branching out into different forms of content, didn’t expect a Mario party review from you, love you Brent ❤
I love hearing Brent give a thorough take of Mario Party games, like we only ever get to see the Party Crashers on TH-cam play the games and make jokes the entire time, but we do get small glimpses of what they really think about the games they play every now and then. It’s very fascinating to then hear someone who’s played the series growing up and has the reputation of performing the best in said games give their honest, personalized take. Would love to see more of these in the future
I think overall you did a very good job with this analysis video, you explained the mechanics very well and had a good pacing dedicating the time needed for each section properly, while also adding some funny jokes.
Superstars feels like a double edge sword to me, on one hand this is the revival that the series badly needed, after 7 (SEVEN!) bad mario parties that changed the formula of the originals for worse, this is the reminder we needed of what mario party actually is...but on the other hand, it's lack of real content makes it feels like an incomplete game and wasn't pushed nor supported to achieve it's true potential.
Nowadays I gave up on DLC but I'm hopeful for next entry in the series that it can achieve what superstars could've.
You see, Space Land was actually GOOD in Mario Party 2 but Superstars changed the mechanic of the Sniffit Patrols. In the original, you could set up the patrols to break the Happening Space cycle and be moved into the diagonal in the path to the middle. This also means the patrols acted as traps to force players into the path of Bowser's Beam. It was a low scoring board but there was strategy!
My two biggest issues with this game are
1. The item shops stay the same, forcing the same repetitive boring, snowballing meta super mario party had if not more so
2. The board choices “conveniently” lacking many branching pathways aside from horror land
You have yoshis tropical island which are two linear circles
You have peachs birthday cake which is a linear board
You have space land which almost nothing but straight lines outside of the center
You have woody woods that has the signpost gimmick forcing you on a direction, do you SEE the problem? It makes horror land feel incredibly out of place, and combined with the samey item meta it makes almost every game of superstars feel almost identical to the last, I can’t say the same about any other game in the series not even super mario party to an extent (despite having similar meta issues)
It just feels like NDcube is still on that mario party 9 copium where they have to force linearity as much as they can get away with so your little brother or grandma can process what’s going on which to some extent I get, but it harms part of the core appeal of mario party: The strategy and unpredictability, kinda hard to strategize when there’s a clear best item for cheap prices on a straight line over and over 😵💫
Not a bad game but I’d be lying if I didn’t say this grew to become one of my least fav classic styled mario party games (outside of the improved minigames from games like MP3)
Not gonna go into any other gripes I have either aside from this: For a celebration game, it’s quite the disappointment compared to smash ultimate which came out 3 years ago and even sonic generations which came out a decade prior
Oh yeah I know the issues you have with the game in the Mario partytv discord lol, but yeah I agree. Mario party superstars has lots of potential and they should really stop relying on the nostalgia factor for the series. Really hoping the next game is more like 3 and 6 and also has at least 10 boards all with their own gimmicks.
@@NickMario1 Mario Party needs a renewal, this game still has the taste of modern Mario Party where it's still too simplistic.
i mean woody woods has alternate paths its a p good board and my favorite overall with horror land coming in second
@@pants1800 Which is fine, regardless of it having like 2 actual pathways even less than space land, I won’t knock anyone for enjoying what they like (even if it’s my least favorite MP3 board now without the godlike items that made it originally fun) this is still one of the better mario spinoff games in recent years and at the very least it’s nice to see classic MP back in the limelight instead of that car crap and whatever the heck the 3DS games were doing 😵💫
@@NickMario1 We do seem to run into eachother a lot 😅
The fact that this game never got DLC is a heinous missed opportunity. They could have added extra boards, extra minigames, or even extra characters. But I guess Nintendo and NDCube released the game as is and thought "Eh, good enough."
Brent talking about the Vs/Battle space money distribution and I see a smiling piplup face.
My brain: TcNick3 guest appearance!
For triple dice, if you roll three 7s, you’ll be rewarded with 50 coins.
Only reason I know this is because a Yoshi AI rolled a triple dice on turn 18 on Peach’s birthday cake.
If I’m not wrong, that is a 1/1000 chance of rolling exactly three 7s, which means it’s extremely rare to occur.
A friend of mine rolled this a few weeks back when playing irl with me and another friend
What a nice birthday present. Thanks Brent
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
@@KingOfSkill TY :D
🥳
Big Happ
Happy Birthday!
Brent, I did not know the difference between a non-hidden block space and a normal space. And for telling me, I thank you. Now I can destroy my friends skillfully the next time I play Mario Party Superstars. Not toxically though!
6:48
2 are chosen randomly if you play 25 turns or less, it's 3 if you play 30 turns
Also, you can set the bonus stars to classic, basically to how it was in Mario Parties 1-5, where it's always the Minigame, Rich, and Eventful bonus stars that are up for grabs regardless of how many turns played.
King Of Skill got me for a second when I saw that Thumbnail
Space Land is actually my favorite board in Mario Party 2. I think that the Superstars version is worse though due to how they changed the Snifit Patrol.
In Mario Party 2 when the extended Snifit Patrol was triggered, all characters in the way would be pushed back to the path leading to the middle of the board.
However, Superstars keeps you on the outside paths which(even though it does lead you to the right side Boo) feels like it takes a lot of freedom away from the player, especially on the left side where you can't redirect to the middle and have to walk all the way to the top right to change your direction.
Are you ok I’m concerned
Okay enough to not cry most of the time. Thank you.
Man, is there any type of video you can't make? You're great at montages, you're great at gameplay videos (solo or with the boys), and apparently you're great at making video essays too.
This is incredibly well-edited, I can't wait to see you do more game reviews!
Nick is very handsome.
But he also smells
@@Divinity223and extremely toxic
@@Divinity223True.😂😂
And really embarrassing
Yes
Mario Party Superstars had SO much potential . Sure what we got was pretty good, classic maps to relive our nostalgia, a solid collection of most of the past Mario Party Mini Games and fan favorite characters returning to the roster after their long absence.
But *DAMN IT* I wish there were MORE TO ENJOY HERE! I wouldn’t be opposed to Superstars getting DLC in the form of new returning maps from the large history of Mario Party and not just the ones from the N64. What about the ones from the GameCube, the Wii, the 3DS, the Wii U? I would loved to see returning boards from Mario Party 6,7,8 and even a reworked 9 Map as DLC to spice up the variety of places to play and even MORE mini games that missed out the first time like Track and Yield, Sick and Twisted, Gun the Runner, Ghost in the Hall, Take Me Ohm, Bomb Barge and SO MUCH MORE. They can even give us some of the future Mario Party characters as DLC like Goomba, Boo, Hammer Bro, Blooper, even characters like Koopa Kid can be DLC characters.
I wish Nintendo didn’t just abandon this game when there was so much untapped potential behind it.
There's two wolf in a mario party enjoyer:
one is zoomzike "identifying luck"
the other is king of skills "review"
both are the best videos to ever be uploaded on youtube (probably)
Here's how I would have done the DLC as a "SuperStar Season Pass":
5 New Boards - 1 from MP 1, 2 from MP2, 2 from MP3 (one board would release every 2 - 3 months to space them out and keep everyone playing like how they did the DLC for Smash and Mario Kart)
50 New Minigames - For every board that would come out, 10 minigames would be added as well (4 Free-for-All, 3 2-v-2, 3 1-v-3 for each board releasing)
5 New Characters (even though they don't do much, it would still be nice to have. ) - Diddy Kong, Nabbit, Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Pauline (couldn't add characters like Koopa, Boo, etc as their roles are already fulfilled in game)
Returning Items - Golden Mushroom, Bowser Suit, Reverse Mushroom, Bowser Phone, Boo Repellent, Wacky Watch, Koopa Kard, Barter Box.
More Party Options - Game Turn Count can now max up to 50 Turns like in Mario Party 2, Increasing the number of Bonus Stars between 0 - 5 at the end of the game, customizing what items can appear in the shop, a 2 vs. 2 Game Mode like in Mario Party DS / Super Mario Party.
Balancing Changes to unfair, unbalanced or simple minigames, as examples; Piranha's Pursuit, Pogo-a-Go-Go, Spin Doctor, Roll Call, Tread Carefully, etc, etc.
More Purchasable things in the Store for Party Points - Music from Mario Party's 1 - 10, artwork and concept art from Mario Party 1 - 10, New Stickers, New Player Card Backgrounds and Character Icon.
That about covers everything I can think of, if anyone else has any ideas, feel free to comment. My ideas were based of I could be plausible for SuperStar DLC, so I couldn't go wild with everything but I think everything I put down here sounds reasonable. Hope you all take care. ^w^
"Cursed Dice is Bad"
I can feel Sophist seething at the sound of that.
When Brent was talking about Hidden Blocks, I heard Brent's more annoyed tone when Nick in the background got a star
I watched SIlokHawk rank every minigame in Superstars, and I think he explained them and the problems in them very well. Even if it seems like he's a bit nitpicky.
This is a solid 8/10, but with DLC, this could've been an easy 10/10. Nintendo's priorities are all outta whack
Superstars is my favorite Mario Party game. I personally love it and it sucks that DLC isn't gonna be a thing in this game
Am I the only one who feels weird at how calm Brent is in this review?
I actually would love a video where you create DLC for this game. Ive seen a lot of videos about people creating DLCs for games, but a Mario Party one sounds really interesting
dont worry guys i will make mario party superstars 2 happen in the next direct
ok miyamoto
Ok Doug bowser
I mean, superstars was revealed in June of 2021, and since we should be getting the next Mario party this year, it could happen!
@@SuperMarioPlushMastersyou sure?
@@NickMario1 yep, all the evidence points to it. But it's never a garintee since Nintendo never does what's expected
This is a game that cemented the idea that you cannot rely on a game having DLC to save it. I bought the game b/c I love playing Mario Party with my brothers and I remember there being an announcement that there would be more DLC maps added as time went on. That obviously never happened. I still love this game, but there is a reason why I also bought the N64 expansion pack for Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 or bring my GameCube when I visit family.
I wanna see more of these!!
Really love how detailed the analysis is in each point and also talks about every part of the game, even the lesser known ones!! I'm really looking forward to how you do the next games in this format!!
Mario Party DS >>>>>>>>>
My boi!
True
ok
I got very upset when I discovered that Superstars doesn't let you set DS as your favourite Mario Party game on your player card.
Sophist be like: I hate Mario party (since he almost always gets last)
Funny thing is that wario is always last in the gameplay of this video
Although I think recently sophist has been doing well in not getting last he doesn’t win but he doesn’t get last
It's worth noting that in Mario Party Superstars, there are two ways that the game will give out 3 Bonus Stars like in previous entries:
1. You play for 30 turns (the cap number in this game). Playing for 30 turns means the game will award 3 of the 9 Bonus Stars instead of 2 of the 9 if you're playing in 20 turns or lower.
2. You set the Bonus Stars to "Classic" before starting. When you do this, no matter how many turns you play (10, 15, 20, 30), the game will ALWAYS hand out 3 specific Bonus Stars, that being Rich, Minigame, and Event stars. (Unlike the classic games, the Rich Bonus Star isn't the same as the Coin Bonus Star. Whereas the Coin Star awards players for the most coins HELD during gameplay, the Rich Star awards players for the most coins COLLECTED (or stolen or spent).)
Also, the fact that there's only a mere five boards in this game is really, really dumb. Couldn't have added another Mario Party 3 board to even out the total to six? Oh well. Honestly, I would've at least liked a Bowser board. It's been a while since we had one and, in my opinion, the chaos in a Bowser board makes it fun and scary.
God, I love those videos where the creators just share their appreciation and knowledge for a topic they like. It's so clear that the mario party series means a lot to you and you've built a lot of memories around it. Keep it up! :D
Hey Brent this was a fantastic change to your usual lineup and i hope to see more videos like this.
Your analysis was awesome
Your voice is a very soothing one for some reason, love the vids as always
Brent making a whole PhD thesis video about Mario Party Superstars is something I didn't expect but highly appreciate.
I am SO here for Brent gaming video essays!! This video was extremely well made and informative! I learned so many things that I never noticed from watching Party Crashers gameplay. Looking forward to seeing more of this type of content!
I really love how your editing fits in closely every single video you’ve made! And also, great video!
This review would make Zoomzikes Proud. amazing video as always Brent.
and yes, Custom Dice is too overpowered😡
Yeaaaah, a fellow Zomzikes viewer 😆😂
So, this is basically Brent's version of Identifying Luck ? neat-
Thank you for this review Brent! Right on point with every comment you made and I’m excited to see your future reviews!
Solid video. I would like to see you continue on that direction with other series as well like Fire Emblem
I like how you use Luigi, Wario, Daisy and DK but no Birdo XD
Actually, the number of bonus stars depends on how many turns you choose. If you choose 30, 3 will be awarded at the end of the game.
To this day I'm still amazed that the devs managed to make Space Land worse. In MP2 if you get chased by the police you'll end up in the line of the laser, which not only makes it more of a threat, it also makes it so you aren't stuck in the same section over and over again.
Another thing about the minigames, what's really sad is that not all of them are in rotation when you start a board. As someone who usually plays 30 turns this gets very noticeable over time.
Overall though I can agree with most of what you said and this is definitely the first game in the series in a long time where it feels they made a step forward. I still rank the original 8 higher than this, but as far as ND Cube MP goes, this is the best one.
Even though my friends and me are still salty to this day that there is no option to play 50 turns.
This was one of the most entertaining, best edited, and least pretentious reviews of anything I've seen. Makes sense, considering you made it! Great job, Brent!!
Awesome video bro, love the content you've been providing for this game with the fellas, always a good time watching a mario party game
However there are a ton of stuff that I want to point out which you didn't mention in the video. So I brought my nerd glasses out and stated fun facts and extra useful knowledge about the party mode:
- Hidden blocks can't spawn on star spaces
- There is a very rare chance you can get a bonus star depending on how much stickers you used during an online game specifically
- No gold pipes or Boo Bell can appear on Peach's Birthday Cake
- Mr. I's price is cheaper during the nighttime (3 coins instead of 6)
- Horror Land is tied with Woody Woods in terms of bank spaces and not the sole one with three bank spaces.
You really have to take a look at Mario party 9, leaving aside the turn mechanic it has really original concepts and (for me) one of the best minigame selections of any game, also the extras beat any game in the series with the museum
My only complaint about mp superstars is the lack of maps and unlockables
Loving seeing your content with Party Crashers and seeing an actual analysis by Mr. King of Skill himself, I found your style of doing this really enjoyable and I am looking forward to future videos Mr. Brent.
Loved this video! Really hope to see more about the other Mario Party games and potentially beyond!
So they will give dlc to the mario party game no one cares about, but superstars get nothing. Thanks, nintendo
This is the closest we'll get to Identifying Luck in Mario Party Superstars
Oh yeah lol
Very nice analyzing there! Yeah, it´s really great that went back to the roots with this game.
Plus the fact that for example they changed the Gumba-path on the Birthday Cake is a huge change itself!
Yes, DLC would have been nice, yeah, some Minigames suck, but all in all, I love it!
Also, Mush Pit is my favorite Minigame! For... reasons xD
Definitely a great video. I might not have learned a lot in this video since I play this game and watch your videos, but a potential video on Mario Party 1-3 could be a great learning experience for me personally.
this video reminds me of zoomzike
I’ve been wanting a review like this especially with your opinion Mr.King!
This seems like this’ll be a great series! Excited to hear an in-depth analysis on the Mario party games
I think it's great that you're doing this new format for your videos. Can't wait to see the next installments of the MP series ! In addition to TTYD Remake, it would be great to see your opinion on the latest Mario rpgs released ! There is so much to talk about, cannot wait !
Thank you for this essay on mario party superstars, this has been very informative.
I really do hope we get more of these often. It's very thorough, intriguing and probably a really nice break on your vocal cords
I'm loving the "Brent and Chill" vibes this video puts out. Good stuff man, keep it up!
Great video as always Brent. Definitely want to see more of this. You should do one on Color Splash next or at the very least do like a retrospective of the Paper Mario series leading up to Color Splash.
I’d absolutely LOVE to see more videos like this on other games even if not everyone watches them.
Also I can feel some ZoomZike inspiration from his MP series of videos and love that touch
11/10 video ngfl
Man, I love this editing style!
This was a solid review and I definitely look forward to seeing more in the future.
If there’s any area of improvement, I didn’t notice anywhere else, but the ending of the Space Land segment, the energy brought in just didn’t work for me. That level of energy works in the multiplayer and single player videos you do, but just kinda felt weird tonally with the rest of the video, which was a solid critical look at the game.
Humor’s subjective, though, and all that. So that could totally just be me. Overall, the video was good- the edits were good and funny, the narration was well done, keeping a calm and level head when explaining the positives and negatives, you were very thorough, and you were fair in criticism.
I really enjoyed this type of video surprisingly but again it’s one of my favorite games that you’re covering😄
I really like these review videos because they help educate me on videogames I don’t play/own. I think it has a lot of potential especially for different types of game genres
that was a nice Identifying Luck-lite video
I wish you talked about the differences between the original and the remake for every boards, because they are all changed in some way :
-Space Land's happening event, with the snifit police, brings you to a different space
-Horror Land has one less day boo, and the Womps don't block the path you just took
-Woody woods' happening events don't swap all signs anymore, and the gates go in the opposite direction
While i do like your other vids with high editing or just the boys playing together, I am so down for review/retrospective type vids. Even if its a game series im not super invested in, I'll still gladly hear out a person talking about the stuff they love. Peak content bb
I just finished the video and I loved it. I don’t know if you know it but this format reminds me of the Mario Party analysis videos of TH-camr Zoomzike. He analyzed from A to Z the Mario Party from 1 to 8 and he will soon do 9. He does like you, he talks about all the boards and gives strategies according to the boards on which we play.
He also talks about all the mini-games of each Mario Party and it is thanks to him that I learned to play Mario Speedwagons perfectly because before I did not know how to play it, it is for all these reasons that his videos last at least 4 hours or more but it allows to better understand in depth the gimmicks of the games and it’s awesome. Can’t wait to see you talk about the other Mario Party games 🤩😆❤️
Really good video Brent! Hopefully this gets lots of views so that the other Mario parties get videos like this made about them :)
I like these kinda videos. I appreciate your opinion on the game aswell. Overall good vid 👌
It's a surprise to see this video from you channel but a pleasant one since I am interested in hearing thoughts on this game from someone who has played it *a lot*
I have had my fair share of fun with Superstars but man the lack of content at times can definitely show when you play it a fair amount. Especially with the lack of DLC (Seriously even just one or two boards would help out a fair bit). Honestly was really glad seeing MP1-3 added to NSO so me and my mates could have more quick and easy Mario Party to play online after a long while with only Superstars. But regardless SS is still a solid game nonetheless that's worth it for what it is. Would love to see you do more of these analytical kind of vids in the future especially on the other Mario Party games it's great stuff.
Btw Mario Party 8 is peak
Why did I find this so funny, entertaining and educational at the same time!😂 also spectacular work Brent keep it up! 👍🏼
Honestly I could listen to you talk for hours Brent. Whether it's a review, or even reading a book or doing a podcast. You make a great script and your gaming knowledge is incredible! My hats off to you sir!
I reckon you should review your top 3 least favourite games and say reasons as to why. That would be a fun watch!
I can't say I was expecting a full-on video essay review about Superstars from you
This is pretty great! If I have any critique for the future ones for the other Mario Party game, I would say cut down on the overview of the game. All of this information can be presented, but maybe inject some more of your opinions about the individual design decisions as you describe the maps and such. Still, I'm excited to see where this goes in the future!
I love KOS, I love reviews, I love this. The only thing I can add is that a more comedic tone would be better for introducing people to your channel, since there's a pretty hefty tone difference between this and your other stuff
Great video Brent. Been watching ur vids for a while and love them.
Also, you said that the Cursed Dice was the worst item. I think they could buff it by not letting it get cancelled out. Or at least not the player use the item they cancelled it out with.
Hey Brent, really enjoyed this vid reminds me of Mathewmatosis and his review style, keep it up and keep more coming along and if your want to go longer then go longer, long man is good man
Hey Brent, I really Enjoyed seeing this video, I’ve been Watching your Mario Party videos over and over again, And It seems J might play the game again, I really Enjoyed this video the most, Thank you for uploading this video, And I hope your day is going well, Have a Wonderful Day/Night!
😁✨
finally someones mentions this game again!! superstars is one of my favorites of my favorite spin-off
Man I hope you guys do a rewatch of this video and your old videos to remanesce. Would be pure gold
This is a nice change of pace of your videos. It would be nice to see more reviews in your style, especially with your pretty soothing voice.
I also do agree, at least more boards from later games or even a board maker mode like in smash or Mario maker would make the game last a lot longer in people’s eyes.
I also wish other Mario party games got some more love, like Mario party 8 has 2 minigames out of the 100 there, no boards past 3, and even special characters from superstars. But hey, Birdo is there.
Still Superstars is a great example of being basic isn’t a bad thing. But thankfully it isn’t like Mario party 10. Great video ❤
Mario Party Superstars was technically My first introduction the the Mario Party 1,2,3 boards before NSO I did also notice some questionable decisions as well when I played more but I didn't care cause I love the game too the 4th game in the series was My introduction the Mario Party Great Video Man!
This is going to be an interesting review series
The way hidden blocks work is when the game starts two hidden blocks are placed on the board. One with a Star, one with Coins. The blocks don't move until it's found, then the respective block moves to another space that doesn't already have another hidden block. That's how they've worked in every Mario Party that I am aware of. So if you just have a photographic memory and see where every other player landed, you can process of elimination where a hidden block is. But it's still a 50/50 whether or not it has a star or coins.
Sure it's not just 1 hidden block, which mostly gives coins and 1/10 chance for a star?
It might seem like that but no. It's always a 50/50 whether it's the coin block, or the star block
