Goomba
So, I'd like to know the Super Mario Boards' users opinion about the best and worst minigames.

I made a video with a ranking expressing my opinion, here it follows.


(took ages to render this, my 4-year old CPU can't stand Sony Vegas' overheating anymore :-\)
 
My top ten best

1. Mario Mechs (MP5)
2. Frozen Frenzy (MP5)
3. Camera Shy (MPDS)
4. Snow Brawl (MP6)
5. Think Tank (MP7)
6. Aces High (MP3)
7. Cosmic Slalom (MP8)
8. Team Treasure Trek (MP4)
9. Cannonball Fun (MP6)
10. Lift Leapers (MP6)

Some minigames that didn't make it include Kartastrophe (MP8), Look Away (MP2), Speeding Bullets (MP9), Skyjinks (MP9), Smash Compactor (MP9), Burnstile (MP6) and Flash and Dash (MPDS)

My top ten worst (not gonna include buttom mashing and luck minigames)

1. Rudder Madness (MP8)
2. Spray Anything (MP7)
3. Cointagious (MP7)
4. Cheep-Cheep Sweet (MP4)
5. Ray of Fright (MP6)
6. Flip the Chimp (MP8)
7. The Beat Goes On (MP3)
8. Hand, Line, and Sinker (MP3)
9. Hyper Hydrants (MP3)
10. Handcar Havoc (MP)
 
The 10 worst got to include all the Control Stick Spinning from MP1 and MP4's Bowser Minigames.
 
I'd list the Control Stick spinning but they fall under the button mashing category so yeah...
 
And Button Mashing is awesome but Control Stick Spinning and Wii Remote Shaking are stupid.
I am dissapointed that Mario Party 8 has no Button Mashing, it was very fun and I liked having an obligatory Button Mashing game every Mario Party.
 
Don't get me wrong: there are some button mashing minigames that I do enjoy (Pump n' Jump is always so funny), there's just too much of them that I don't like. Luck minigames....these can just die though. The best luck minigame is Random Ride because at least you make choices where sometimes the odds are in your favor according to the description (though not guaranteed)
 
I know people who love luck minigames though I personally hate them.
I have a strategy for Game Guys magic boxes that works over half the time.
 
It's much more entertaining when you're playing with other people or when there's not much to gain from it

For example, I remember enjoying Cut from the Team from Mario Party 8 because 1. there was nothing much to lose or gain because I think it was, like, only 10 coins being at stake? and 2. the death spring thing is freaking hilarious and over the top.
 
My 10 Worst:
10. 10 to Win
9. Deck Hands
8. Cointagious
7. Rudder Madness
6. Crane Game
5. Crate and Peril as the team
4. Number Crunchers
3. Trace Cadets
2. Flip the Chimp
1. Bash n Cash

10 best:
10. Speeding Bullets
9. Cosmic Slalom
8. Pushy Penguins
7. Dungeon Duos
6. Think Tank
5. Snow Brawl
4. Whack-a-Plant
3. Toadstool Titan
2. Running of the Bulb
1. Mushroom Mix-up/Hexagon Heat

Well I also love luck minigames :P Seriously, Game Guy is the best feature from Mario Party 3, it's a shame they didn't keep him and his mini-games in the other installments. Also, what's the strategy for Magic Boxes? I found that one the most annoying of the gamble games, the best one being Lucky 7.
 
I hate Game Guy, but I still respect him because in the Magic Boxes, Wario chose the first ones twice, lost, decided to choose the second one, and lost again.
 
favorite:

that cannon ball minigame from the first two mario parties

worst: either bag n cash or tug o' war.
