[CincinnatiLibra05]

....Ya'll Was Cuttin It A Lil TOO Close On That Runnin Of The Bulb Game....I Heard Ya'll In The Background, LMAO!!!!

[narutoshadowclone1]

For those who love to play Mario Party 1-3, I would suggest going to a disc replay game store because they sell N64s as many of you already know but also, they sell nicely colored controllers. The only issue is finding Mario Party games there because whats in their store is what people trade in mostly. But just keep looking because when I got my N64 back in January of 2010, I easily found Mario Party 2 & 3, but didn't find a single copy of Mario Party 1 until almost the summer.

[500Multiman]

i agree on most of your decisions but Key-pa-way i really disagree on that the game is to easy...

[squankelissimo]

Awww Key-Pa-Way?! Realllly? :-S

[VcSNHLArcade]

5. Buried Treasure

4. Bumper Balls

3. Bobsled Run

2. Face Lift

1. Piranha's Pursuit

[SuperLuigiGalaxy242]

@VcSNHLArcade BURIED TREASURE!!

[SBS9067A]

@VcSNHLArcade HELL YEAH!

[TheJavelin1]

wait... wheres bumper balls?!?

[william14477]

1:34-NNOOOO YOSHI!!!

[MarioBrosFan]

Thumbs up if you think Mario Party 1 should be released on the Virtual Console... with improved controls, of course.

[narutoshadowclone1]

@MarioBrosFan I completely agree, when I first heard Mario Party was gonna be in the Wii shop I couldn't wait. I found Mario Party 2 and it's great, but they should have started with 1. Or at least get them in faster or put 1 in the wii store next.

[simba90s]

theres something awesome with the 3 first mario party games. they were the ones with the best mini-game, see, these minigames were either hard or full of action. really fun. not the bs minigames in mario party 5-6-7-8 in example the minigame where you have to wash a chain chomp in mario party 8 lol. and mario party 5-6-7 had orbs instead of items wtf is this shit? mario party 1 had so many things to unlock and different modes, it was just so fun......i miss playing it with my friends...

[nvrlose37]

I forgot the mini games where everyone worked together, the first mario party was like so different then even the second one its pretty crazy

[WojekSiren]

I wonder they never bring the best mini games into the next mario party? 

[soxeaglesyuoke]

Yoshi is looking like D-rose.

[MrKylekody]

running of the bulb was WAYYY to close for comfort you maniacs

[footballstar864]

1. Buried Treasure

2. Bumper Balls

3. Face Lift

4. Topsy Turvy

5. Desert Dash

[WithOutCreativity]

yeah, awesome list!

[agubokwu]

it should be 1st to 3 bombsket ball

[GODOFANGERANDWAR]

mushroom mix-up, shy guy says, bombs away, bumper balls, and skateboard scamper are my favorites on 4-play. I love the system of punishment from this game, 2v2 takes the money from the loser as does 1v3, and single player takes money as well. items made mario party games much more fun though. good times :)

[dondace1020]

★カードキングダム値段高額注意よろしく★

[Toshiro7892]

My 2 favorites (i would choose one but I love both of these) are Mushroom Mix-Up and Shy Guy Says

[dannygeoparki]

where's bumper balls!?

[Rdude60]

@dannygeoparki Yeah wut? Where the hell is bumperballs. That game made me laugh too much :D

[BollyBibby]

I love Wario's scream

WUUUUAAAAAAAAAAA

[RyvernRaigon]

Damn i used to LOVE the Running of the Bulb so much, but my friends and cousin hated it, they say that because they didn't have good teamwork >.>.

[nickyp410]

platform peril is easily the best mini-game from this game

[InfiniteBlaze93]

Mine are

5.)Platform Peril

4.)Crazy Cutter

3.)Cast Aways

2.)Balloon Burst

1.)Grab Bag

[pwndnoob1]

No Mushroom Mix up? No Grab Bag? NO BUMPER BALLS?!

Seriously, I still play Mario Party 1 for the opportunity to come up behind people and shake them for their money. Grab Bag FTW.

I'd give the nod to Bombsketball and either Skateboard/Platform peril for the other two spots, but I don't value your opinion.

[DroppinKnowledge69]

that's a ridiculous list.

(assuming your playing with at least one of your buddies)

1) Shy Guy Says

2) Mushroom Mix-Up

3) Bumper Ball

4) Cast Away

5) Grab Bag

Bonus) Chance Time (not a mini game, I know, that's why it's a bonus)

[AtoZ0to9123456]

key-pa-way ftw still have my n64 and it still works perfectly :) :)

[Kyuubi328]

The fact that for every single one of these games I literally said to myself "OH I REMEMBER THAT ONE!!" and the fact that I haven't played that game in at least five years says that you did a good job.

[MegaGameraider]

1:03 WTC how did u not die?!

[EffAche]

5. Shy Guy Says

4. Running of the Bulb

3. Face Lift

2. Mushroom Mix Up

1. BUMPER THE FUCK BALLS

[DarkLeviathan8]

Look like everyone forgot about Face Lift

[TheBoo789]

4. kaypawy

3. Skateboard scamper.

2. Mushroom mix up.

1. Platform peril.

[Naar]

LA BOTARON! MIS 5 MINIJUEGOS FAVORITOS

[PeachCeca]

Your tastes are strange lol. I love a lot but the ones that stayed in my mind are Cast aways, grab bag ( the best ), hidden treasure, bowser lifting and hot bob-omb ;)

[KsiezniczkaIno]

my favourite is muchroom mix up

[Sapphirechao]

Running of the Bulb used to scare me when I was little XD

[Ketorulz]

Here should be most people's favourites:

Bobsled Run, Bumper Balls, Hot Rope Jump, Platform Peril, Mushroom Mix-up, Running of the Bulb, Bombs Away.

I find these games the easiest and best to compete with ANYONE.

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@Ketorulz dude how does Shy Guy not meet every single one of those requirements?

[Ketorulz]

@DroppinKnowledge69 Shy Guy Says can go up there too

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@Ketorulz haha aight cool

[XGiftedGamerX]

Ahh. Such fun times...

COME ON MARIO PARTY 9!!!!

[ReiaSage]

yoshi pwns you all :3

[MewtwoFilmz]

Running of the bulb should be first!

[mario2980]

my favorite minigames are the 4 player team mini-games (like running of the bulb and key-pa way), they should bring back the 4 player team minigames

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@mario2980 4 player team games are the worste...becuz if EVERYBODY gains 10 or EVERYBODY loses 10 then its like nothing happened...

[mario2980]

@DroppinKnowledge69 actualy if everybody gets 10 coin then they will have a better chance to get the star DOY!

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@mario2980 haha clearly you aren't on my level of mario partying.  20 coins aint much, it all comes down to you winning and your buddies/computer losing, evening out is a waste. trust me.

[vanshma]

brings back the ol' N64 memories

[Scathe8000]

the memories are flowing back...

[butchyboxer]

what was the game where you had to move you hands in circles on the joystick

[Ketorulz]

@butchyboxer Tug-O-War, Paddle Battle or Pedal Power. I got blisters on me palm!

[TMW001]

Running of the Bulb should be number 1 it was the best of them all.

[sebbyman64]

Seriously...key-pa way as number 1? Its just too easy and there's no competitive spirit involved.

[avhgimmy]

Havent played it since 2000 but still remember everything.!

[RawrBuddy24]

ahhh the memories :)

[LILJVAS1997]

i fukin love that game it is and will always be the most funest nintendo 64 game ever super smash brothers in second place

[IvanDaHo]

WOW wtf in the beginning mario stole the ball but wario forgot to cut to the basket what a fucking dumbass

[1Jammanguy]

cant find this game anywhere :( and emulators suck. i miss fucking my hands up with the one game where you have to spin the stick as fast as you can.

[mclovin4500]

@1Jammanguy

Try ebay or amazon...of course youcan wait until later this year. I hear they're relasing it for the Virtual Console later this year.

[Ketorulz]

@mclovin4500 I would love all three on the Virtual Console. I only really want Mario Party 3 though, because that one I didn't own originally on cartridge.

[goooooofygoober]

@1Jammanguy i found a bunch on ebay...

[Ketorulz]

@1Jammanguy Get a PC gamepad, or a N64 USB adaptor and you will feel that pain again. hehe

[dragongame2]

omg skateboarding in hell freaking awesome

also does platform peril music not rember to mario galaxy music

[Classicmariobros]

i culdnt agree more :)

[4xzx4]

Hot rope jump and Scateboard scamper are overrated!

[shadowtrixmopar007]

running of the bulb is the best ever

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

Running of the Bulb was my absolute favorite mini-game as a kid. Just the idea of working together to fight off ghosts was so epic. I also played the song in the jukebox constantly.

[Tenorsaxman3030]

I think I'm the only one who's favorite mini-game is Grab Bag. lol

[lKobeashi]

@Tenorsaxman3030 Lol you're not alone, it was my favorite mini-game too xD

[bedshaker92]

this game is the best mario party it needs to be available in the wii

[funk55558]

5.shy guy says

4.bumber balls

3.mushroom mix up

2.grab bag

1.bobsled run :)

[RhaIYOI]

key pa way apesta mejor handcar havoc

[GamuhCube]

No love for Bumper Balls?

[mamaluigi123451]

It's a wonder how the bulb didn't break wen it it got crushed by the thwomp

[agubokwu]

@mamaluigi123451 Which is why everyone wants it, why you each get 5 coins for it, why it is worth working together, and why you got Boos and thwomps after it

[awsomnessya44]

n64

[IDanceInTheSky]

Luigi sounds like a turkey



[Kirbynator99]

i always win in platform peril :D

[CartoonCookie93]

The graphics look less crude than when I last played it.

[RyanKaufman]

Why is your camera quality so good that it records perfectly on the TV?

[RyanKaufman]

Is there a site to play these online?

[lionkingfan]

@RyanKaufman yu can download a n64 emulartor called project 64 and download the mario party game rom for it.but you have to have a lot of memory on your computer and a fast one.there are a number fo roms site to find it.

[RyanKaufman]

@lionkingfan Eh I'm not good with emulators, I'm just looking for a site specifically designed to play these minigames.

[RyanKaufman]

I wish my N64 worked.

[mortonandroy]

Where the heck's Mushroom Mix-Up?

[joker80james]

3 - bumper-balls

2 - face-lift

1 - mushroom mix-up

[tobulldogsto]

you forgot the bobsled one, bumper balls, mushroom mixup, and grab bag! o well nice list though

[Scaarfii]

5. Shy guy says.

4. Hot rope jump.

3. Skateboard scamper.

2. Mushroom mix up.

1. Platform peril.

[SeaRanger311]

aw no one has slot car derby =D good times

[Quadin]

@Scaarfii agreed its missing mushroom mix up

[qualifa]

@Scaarfii Yeah, but I'd switch 1 and 2, and its good then.

[squankelissimo]

@Scaarfii

You've nailed it. Only one missing is Face Lift!

[davenrai]

love the bulb one

memories:)

[chocochickenmilk]

i agree

[geekgo4]

Cast aways could be the most broken Mini-Game in the entire series.

[dalrymple3]

you forgot bumper balls!!!!! dude thats like the best 1. how could you forget it?

[af690]

its impossible to rank em

[koreadude]

my top 8

8. face lift

7. treasure divers

6. grab bag

5. hot jump rope

4. bombs away

3. mario bandstand

2. running of the bulb

1. mushroom mix up

[Yakibomb]

I liked mushroom mix-up and the messing up Bowser's face mini games the most. Screwing with Bowser's face to make it look really f'ed up is fun.

[squidsquidsquid32]

Mushroom Mix-up and Bumper Balls!

[Wykfo]

i don't like bombsketball so much, and i detest key-pa-way (was always over in a few seconds) but i love running of the bulb and quite like the other 2 on here. bumper balls and and mushroom mixup and that one with the tilting island getting bombed were my favourites

[simondeansmilkisgay1]

skateboard scamper and platform peril were the best!!

[morethanfriends9]

those r mine 2...

[simondeansmilkisgay1]

@morethanfriends9 yeah i have mario party 7 for gamecube but the minigames in this one are better in my opinion

[morethanfriends9]

yup!!!!

[KingDarkIce]

mario Party is one of my favorite games to this day.

[120chico]

yoshi slam dunked it in bombskit ball XD

[SirSnowball]

Those minigames are awsm, but only with friends. The AI is way too stupid in Key-pa Way if they have the key. Also, the winner of Skateboard Scamper can be very random.

[Luda507]

Man this gives back some nice memories like now they over did it with mario party now. like WTF U GET TO BE SOME F'ed UP SQUID LIKE Cmon Nintendo u can do WAYYYYY better

[Jelley0]

@Luda507 I agree that Mario Party games haven't been as good lately. But Hudson made Mario Party 4-8, not Nintendo.

[IGNGamer]

Skateboard scamper was fun.. but it always hurts my thumb mashing down the b button

[qwertyuiop2000]

Some classics that come to mind are Platform Peril, Skateboard Scamper, Face Lift, Crazy Cutters, Bobsled Run, and Mushroom Mixup/Hexagon Heat. Sooo many good minigames in the first 3 Mario Parties.

For the post-N64 games, I really enjoyed Pushy Penguins, Booksquirm, and the maze one in MP4.

[Tentenlaw]

@qwertyuiop2000: Do you mean Team Treasure Trek?

[qwertyuiop2000]

yeah that's the one.

[Killajax]

I like running of the bulb because its a game where everyone has to work together :O

[KerschaG]

ooooooommmmmmmmgggggg i loveeeee itttttttttttttttttttttt <<<<<<<<<<<<33333333333

[lolity3]

Shy Guy Says deserves an honorable mention too imo

[StarvinMarvin1990]

[Mariofan233]

So awesome im gonna rent it in Gamefly when i get the remote for it cause i have a Wii

[Millina]
