Go tell 'em, sis
 
tell them how super mario galaxy will never ever surpass a mario party match ever
 
Super Mario Galaxy will never match its priceless moments compared to Party's priceless moments.

Hell, we almost rolled over in laughter while playing Mario Party 5 on the Dolphin emulator and seeing distorted dying Warios and hearing no music due to audio glitches. That takes a special game to make us do that.
 
How about that match in Mario Party 4 in Toad's Midway Madness that Wario always gets screwed up right before he gets a star @ Happening Space, Warp Pipes, and Battle Spaces
 
Yeah, I know. I overhauled Wario's slot just so I can force him to deny the Star, but in the end, something happened right before Wario can reach the Star. Roller coasters, Battle Spaces sucking his coins away, Warp Pipes used on him, etc. That's the game denying Wario right there. >:D

Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario 64, whatever, will never have these delicious moments.

But in Super Mario 64 DS you can make Wario accidentally fall to the lava...

No, it's much better making Wario scream, "WOAH!" when he lands on every platform down in Vanish Cap Under the Moat

But I love burning Wario too and hearing him scream, "OOOWWAAHHH!!!"
 
Accidentally, you can also choke him to death, drown him, burn him, electrocute him, make him fall into a pit, have him land head-first in snow, drown him in quicksand, smoosh him, but Mario Party games have more options (Burnstile, Merry Poppings, Countdown Pound, I.D. U.F.O., Smash Compactor, to name a few), and since we are more sadists than masochists, it's more satisfying killing the computer player with your favorite character. Mario Party has that more "Wario torture party" feel as well. Wario also has satisfying losing animations from Mario Party 4 to Mario Party DS.

May I ask how in the world you rig Mario Party? I thought it was all luck-based...

It's not all "luck-based". There is some luck involved, but clever use of items and winning the minigames will net you wins.

Unless you mean Mario Party 9 or Mario Party: Island Tour, where their items systems and minigame rewards are much worse than the previous Mario Party games.

No it isn't. I can win a game handily, provided it's Mario Party 2-DS.

However, you can rig the game to make it more in your favor. You can give yourself a 9-star boost. Plus, in Mario Party 4 exclusively, you can actually turn on and off minigame occurrences (thereby omitting luck-based minigames) via Custom Pack (by creating one in Minigame Mode). Finally, you can change the controller settings for a certain character so you can force Wario to deny Stars or have him buy crappy items or have him use items at inopportune times. Or, you can control your opponents so when they use a Star/Coin-stealing item, they use it on Wario.

Even without a star handicap I can secure a solid victory. Just check my competition in a screenshot of Mario Party 2. This is in a 50 turn match.

So, I can see why Mario Party 4 is one of your favourites!

Mario Party 6 is, actually.

But Mario Party 4, with its option to actually choose which minigames to occur or not, is unprecedented and never happened again. This makes it one of my favorite Mario Parties. I mean, the custom pack even applies to single-player STORY MODE, so you can actually enjoy it because you will never fear a luck-based minigame, as long as you don't include it in your custom pack.

Another thing that the GCN Mario Parties have is Team Battles. My sister and I, since we live together nearly 24/7, really appreciate that option, but since it's not a concept of the first three Mario Parties and the last two, we avoided those three. We did play 2 and 3 on an emulator, but we do enjoy watching one of us destroy the other three computers. Then, we play together with the minigames. As I said, however, the first three have a shortage of minigames compared to the later ones.
 
I hope Mario Kart 8 is the last Mario Kart that features Retro Courses. Sure, the concept itself is very cool, but I'd rather have all 32 tracks being brand new. Plus, they're already running out of tracks from Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash. They've used almost all of them, and I don't think they're planning on re-reusing them. I also doubt that they're going to make basically all the new Retro Tracks from Mario Kart Wii and 7 (being the most recent ones and having the least tracks reused).

Me too. I hope we get two new cups (Shine Sprite Cup, Ice Flower Cup, 1-Up Mushroom Cup, you name it) and I hope all cups have 5 tracks like Super Mario Kart. Imagine... 50 tracks!!
 
I wouldn't want five tracks: I think four is the perfect amount
 
I'd like to have tracks redone to fit the contemporary Mario Kart game.
 
me too, I find a few of the retro GBA cups are way too square to actually enjoy to their fullest on newer systems
