Best Mario Party- Nostalgia Notwithstanding

[Teh Wind Waker]

Okay, so this is a bit different than "what's your favorite?" Every time someone gives their favorite, it's always because it's the first one they played. Always.

But the games actually have subtle, or not so subtle in the case of MP9, differences from each other. So, looking at the game mechanics, mini game selection, even character selection and story mode, what do you think is the best Mario Party?

Personally, I would say Mario Party 7 is the best. Is mixes up the basic Mario Party formula on the boards, and offers some of the best mini games with a huge variety in the type of games you can play.

So what's your pick, and why?

"Nostalgia notwithstanding"

So, no MP 1/2?

Mario Party 3.

You can totally say 1 or 2. As long as there's a reason beyond that you're the most nostalgic for those ones.

Hmm... it has to be either 2, 7 or 9 for me. I think I have to go with 9 at the end of the day. Just a refreshing change of pace, great minigames and a lot of fun to be had.

uh

for MP1, Because of that time I lost and raged hard.

MP2, that time where my cousin Zack (DK) beat me (Luigi?) in Bowser Land.

Those both seem nostalgia based reasons

I'd go with Mario Party 3. I think it has the best mini-games.

Who voted Mario Party Advance?

[maxfreak]

Mario Party 2 for me. Was my very first one and is still the most memorable to me. Glad I own all the cartridges still

Personally, I would say Mario Party 7 is the best.

7 was fantastic. I got it with my gamecube and played it a ton
