Mario Party Advance is a real oddity in the Mario Party Series. After the incredibly successful Mario Party 6, Hudson Soft decided to challenge themselves and create Mario Party Advance for the Game Boy Advance, which was on significantly weaker hardware than the Mario Party games on the GameCube or even the Nintendo 64. Multiplayer was also much tougher, so this game needed to get a bit creative with how it wanted to approach multiplayer gameplay on the go. I really hope that you enjoy this Mario Party Advance retrospective - The Mario Party 7 video is next but that one is definitely going to be the longest Mario Party video so far. There's a lot to talk about, so I hope that you enjoy that video coming soon. Thanks so much for watching, and if you read this far in the description, thank you. Your support of this series means a ton to me.

Thanks so much for watching!! Have you played Mario Party Advance? If so, what did you think?
I palyed it on an emulator and it was so fun I can't explain it. Like 2 min. after I walk up I am turning computer on to play it. For me it was a lot of fun.
I played it on the Wii U and I thought it was alright.
It was worth playing just for how unique of a game it is.
The game is a good one for a GBA game. I don't think a proper MP would have functioned well on the GBA so MPA is as good as they could do. I remember a bunch of good matches with my friends back in High School using the MyBoy emulator
Love or hate the game, you really gotta respect it for trying something new
That’s super true. Even though i have a lot of critiques of Mario Party Advance, I gotta admit that there’s a certain charm to it because there’s really nothing else like it. It feels like a relic of an era where portable games were so different and the writing is so clever, i have a certain respect for just how unique it is. Thanks for watching!!
Ey its you! Never thought id see you here
Mario Party Advance is truly a hidden gem. What makes this game so great in my opinion is how full of personality the people of Shroom City are. The dialogue is mostly charming, with some silliness here and there, but overall it does a great job to make the player interested for these characters, like Mr.E and Shroomlock. Not every quest in this mode is awesome but most of them are great and the fact you have freedom to complete them in any order is very refreshing.
Outside of Shroom City, I can see why people don't like this game, Play Land is the standard Free Play mode, Party Land is basically unplayable without link cables and Challenge Land is the only substantial extra mode.
So yeah, Shroom City is what makes me like this game because it had passion put into it, something that is very lacking for every game after Mario Party Island Tour.
Thanks for watching!! i do agree - i think that this game has a good sense of humor, it’s just a shame that actually playing it is a little underwhelming.
I'm glad to finally see an analysis of this game that isn't just saying "it's different, so it's bad". I have a lot of fondness for this game and would constantly play it on road trips as a kid. Random Koopa Kid spawns aside, I thought Shroom City was really neat and made me actually care about the world in a Mario game, which is a very rare occurrence. And the minigames and gaddgets were cute time wasters that pushed me to go for high scores. I can understand how someone might not be into all of that, though, and I have a feeling that revisiting the game will make me see it in a darker light. But it's a really interesting take on a single-player centric Mario Party.
Thanks for watching!! Yeah i do think that this game does have a lot of charm to it. there’s a certain je ne sais quoi to it that is tough to describe - maybe it’s its uniqueness compared to the other games, maybe it’s it’s writing, or maybe it is the fact that this game feels like a relic of an era - a time when multiplayer was a lot more difficult and the developers had to get more creative to create a party game on the go. Anyways, while I may not love this game, I have a certain respect for what it tried to do, if not just a little bit ahead of it’s time. Thanks as always for watching!!
@@marksrecroom Of course, dude. Your videos are consistently engaging and thought provoking no matter the topic. I fully believe you'll get your big break in due time if you keep at it.
Mario Party Advance was ultimately hindered by the hardware it was on and what it was trying to be. The GBA was just too limited to fulfill an actual Mario Party experience and a single player game based off of Mario Party’s rule set just doesn’t mesh all that well. With that said, the plot, scenarios, and charm could’ve maid an excellent Mario RPG. Plus it didn’t help that it came out after the DS launched in 2004.
Another fantastic video! Though I’ll say this Mario Party 7 plays very similarly to 6, so I bet you’ll have a great time with it.
Thanks so much for watching & commenting! I agree - there's nuggets of something great in here but forcing it into a Mario Party for the Game Boy Advance just doesn't mesh well at all.
Quote of the universe ever:
"Keep on gaming, but never become arrogant!" - Kamek
Thank you for including that in the video its genuinely my favorite quote from any video game ever LOL
13:20 It all depends on the Koopa Kids' colors, in this minigame in particular you have to hit the Blue ones twice unless you have the occasional super hit that gets rid of a full line of them if I recall correctly.
I love Mario Party Advance not as a Mario Party game because it sucks in that respect, but as its own thing it's such a charming game despite the legit criticism you expressed!
Quite enjoyed your video so you've earned yourself a new subscriber and I'll eventually catch up with your previous videos!
Thanks so much for watching!! that explains it - it’s so odd how that minigame works with koopa kids just getting knocked back. I’m super glad that you enjoyed the video!!
We have the same dream Donkey Kong 4.
i’m still holding out hope 🙏
@@marksrecroom One day it will happen belive me. Maybe 10, 20, 30 or 40 years but it will happen. ✊
I remember the website for this game more than the game itself.
Thanks for watching!! it’s always a little interesting when a game’s ads are almost more memorable than the actual experience itself lol
The website had the multiplayer playing board from what I remember which is an interesting novelty of a "home version".
So much potential in this one. They could've included more RPG elements to make the single-player focus feel more justified, decresed the grinding, and borrowed just a whiff of creativity from something like Wario Ware and its single-player mini games
I know it probably feels like a soul crushing grind at this point in your career, but don't sweat it. Your content is top tier, and you'll hit the big time soon.🔥
thanks so much!’ i really appreciate that - thanks so much for watching!!
I wonder if anyone's ever come out of the closet via Mario Party Advance Secret Battle
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your content here. Its original, it has interesting topics, your voice sounds really good to listen to and the editing looks phenomenal. Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks so much for leaving this comment, I greatly appreciate it!! I’m definitely going to have some new videos coming soon and i hope you like them!!
Mario Party Advance is actually my favorite one. All the main ones feel slow and grueling in comparison
7:23 the posters do have a fucntionaloty though - they change the title screen.
And for as much as you say the minigames are too easy - I very much did struggle with a lot of them as a kid, even including the easier variants within Schoom City.
For a kid - it is a challenging, but very fun adventure.
Been watching your channel since the video you made about Skip, and honest to goodness, your stuff is just straight up fantastic. They’re extremely well produced and super consistent! The rec room series has been really fun in particular, I love hearing your thoughts on the ins and outs of these games (really excited to see what you think of Mario Party 9/10 and Wii Party). This channel is sincerely so underrated, I often forget about that when I watch your videos! You are definitely going to get the viewership you deserve someday, but in the mean time I’ll continue looking forward to every new upload! C:
yo thanks so much for watching!! it means a ton to hear that you’ve enjoyed the videos so far!! I definitely have a lot more stuff in the works, so I hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the support!
