Mario Party was a very unique game in 1999, but it has been copied a tremendous amount of times for the past 2 years. If given a choice, you should definitely check out one of the sequels instead, but the game is nevertheless fun to play today.

If you're a true gamer, you like playing games that are perfect to the essence. however, if you're a casual gamer, games that are tons of fun are the way to go.

Mario and some of his friends are at a party, on a gaming board, playing a game to see who's the best. they collect stars and coins and cross over spaces like a board game. at the end of each turn, they play a mini-game to earn more coins and to move the game along. in the end, the person with the most stars wins.

personally, i found this game extremely fun, even after you get everything. it's a game where you can have fun with people that regularly don't like video games (my dad and that game where the characters roll on giant balls, trying to knock each other off a platform is a great example) there's many types of mini games. also, Personally, this should have been innovated during the 16 bit era.

it's a sweet way to throw a party, or just to kill a rainy Saturday afternoon.

So, this is where it all began way back in 1998. Mario and his friends engage a party styled competition on an interactive gaming board to move across spaces, collect coins, play mini-games, and ultimately obtain stars to determine who is best, depending on who collected the most stars. Toad would be your guide, while Bowser was an everpresent threat to steal your coins and spoil the fun.

I remember playing this game as a kid, but it was more fun to play with my friends than alone. Otherwise, it felt like the computer would cheat you by giving the CPU's unfair advantage, like getting maximum die-rolls or frequently winning during mini-games. Speaking of which, some games were downright painful to play, like "Tug o' War". You couldn't beat it without giving yourself a nasty blister on your palm.

Of course, the series became more fun and complex with future installments, so you'd be better off playing the sequels. Still, if you want to explore Mario Party's past, you can try this one out on the Nintendo Switch.

This was an absolute waste and one of N64's first blatant attempts to totally cash in on Mario. Unlike "Super Smash Brothers" or "Mario Kart" the gameplay aspect doesn't make up for anything -- the gameplay here isn't much fun and the whole idea of a "party game" revolving around Mario is so shameful. (Or, for the sake of the designers, shameless.) This isn't an absolutely terrible game or anything, but it is very poor and one of the most clear examples of Super Mario being taken past his limits and being applied to a genre that really doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with his persona.

You might enjoy it if you're at a party, but if you ask me, playing a Mario party game at a party is sort of lame, and you might be classified as a loser. Especially nowadays, when N64 hasn't been around for over five years.

This game i think is another great game to play. I think it is a fantastic game. This was released in 1999, making this Mario's first Party Game. This was released for the Nintendo 64. Then Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3 was released for the Nintendo 64, then Mario Party 4 was released in 2002 for the Nintendo Game Cube. The latest computer for the Nintendo Company. I give Mario Party 10 out of 10.
