Let’s Play Mario Party 1

Let’s Play Mario Party 1! let's play mario party 1One of the best get together with your friends games, Mario Party was a fun fun time. And I believe this may have been the first time I had a buddy on the channel, and that buddy was my friend Peter from high school (note, we went to high school together, I don’t have a friend in high school named Peter). We played this game pretty religiously back in high school along with a few other N64 and PS2 games.

Let’s Play Mario Party 1:

This is a game of minigames set against the backdrop of different playing game boards (one instance where I think “board” is an appropriate term. Nintendo knocked this first one out of the park with the minigame selection in particular as there are roughly 50 games divided by number of players (4 player games, 2 vs 2, or 1 vs 3). If you don’t have enough friends/controllers (how great was 4 built in controller ports, by the way?) you can cycle in some computer controlled characters, even setting their difficulties. We always liked setting one on bumbling stupid easy difficulty and the other on diabolical expert mode to make things both interesting and hilarious.

As always, in this Let’s Play Mario Party 1 video, Peter went with DK and I went with Yoshi. Toad is normally my pick, but being that he was a NPC in this one, I went with my backup in Yoshi, just like in Mario Kart Racing. I should ask what Peter’s obsession with DK has been over the years, but I guess I can’t really explain my Toad love, either.

I’ve always been pretty good at Mario Party 1, because of all of the times we played it as I said. I have a good feeling for most of the minigames. This game has a few of my favorites, as well, such as the bomb island one, musical mushrooms, and my personal favorite bumper balls.

The game boards were all great and had a number of chance squares which could reverse the fortunes in a second and make the game a lot more interesting and frustrating at the same time. Fun innovative gameplay which varies from game to game and pleasant toe tapping music in most of the boards, plus the ability to play minigames on demand in minigame land made this game infinitely replayable as the experience changes every time. Solid, solid game.
