You forgot to mention though in Mario Party 3 the only characters Luigi cannot take the place of are Daisy and Waluigi, two characters that have a strong association with him with the former being his love interest and the latter being his rival.

Wario was the first one in the race toward the pipe, and Mario Party is generally about hoarding coins, random mini-games, and sabotaging everyone else. All of those are things Wario excels at, considering his solo adventures, so honestly it tracks that he won out of the cast he was with at the time.

Mario Party Superstars’ setup is essentially to find the Superstar among Superstars - with 10 characters for 10 previous Mario Party games. If we assume each of these characters won one Mario Party each, this means Donkey Kong must’ve won Mario Party 4 (his only appearance after the first three) and Rosalina won Mario Party 10. Peach, Yoshi, Daisy, Waluigi and Birdo would’ve won the other games, though it’s unclear who won which ones.

Toadette

@@quangamershyguyyz7166 You’re right. I instinctively say Toad because of classic. Haha

“Yo, get this outta here!”

Same here about the story mode for 9. I know it's nowhere near the golden age of Mario Party, and I haven't played it in so long so this might be nostalgia talking, but it just felt so cinematic that I can't make myself dislike the game on the same level as some of the other weak eras. I wish the theme had extended to the boards like DS (the best story mode) but even the shooting stars on the home screen and the constellations you could unlock were such a vibe that 9 will always be one of my favorites (and hey the volcano board was at least interesting)

I think the online mode might just give them the idea that there is enough single player content as is

Despite the continuity nods though, they ignore the existence of Tumble and the Millenium Star. It's like their existence is retconned.

@@mariobroultimate1808 No, because in the Superstars MP3 story description, the Millennium Star is mentioned by name. Unless you mean between games in general. Which yeah, there's not much continuity nods between the games themselves. They all do such different things lol.

@@knux333jw So they mentioned him, yet they refused to include his official render in the credits.

@@mariobroultimate1808 Why would his render be in the credits of Superstars? Like I said, what I'm talking about here is just a reference to that story. Nothing more. I don't disagree with how I wish MP games reffed older installments more though. The Koopa Kid erasure is sure blatant lol.

@@knux333jw Yeah. They clearly want us to forget Koopa Kid existed. I don't mind that erasure honestly, because I think the existence of that character is kinda pointless.

@@ivanzoneBR24 I agree I also like 9’s story

Yeah, the hate over the car is just beating a dead horse by now.

Hold on, there's a RANKING system?!

@@durandlewis1382 yes

@@GlitchanBlack why do people hate the car? mario party 9 was my only mario party game

Similarly, in Galaxy 1, Bowser states that he enjoys fighting Mario.

I miss them

Mario Party 5 was the only one that I played story mode on

You seen that game's main menu mode? It's so lifeless just like MP10

@@zeospark9715 same

Star Rush and The Top 100 also lack a story

Can you share it with us? I'd love to see!

@mariobroultimate1808 it's unfortunately just a piece of paper, but I can write it here!: 1. Story: In a land far, far away, lies the wonderful Fantastar Kingdom, a kingdom powered by the brilliance of the Superstars, the greatest stars in existence! However, the malicious Roguevoid wanted to be the only Superstar in the kingdom after his wish, or "Fantasy" was rejected. Thus, he possesses the King of the Koopas to achieve his goal. The kingdom was plunged into darkness, but a citizen of the kingdom, Faefy, manages to escape to the Mushroom Kingdom, knowing they have the greatest stars necessary to defeat Roguevoid. After befriending Mario and friends, she tells them of the tragedy that had befallen upon her home. So, Mario and friends travel to Fantastar, but upon arrival, Roguevoid challenges them to a series of Mario Parties, which happen to be tradition in Fantastar, so he can determine which one of them is worthy of the title "Superstar" and fight him in the "Final Party". 1.5. The roster: a total of 16 playable characters will be featured in MPF, consisting of Mario, Luigi, Peaches, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Luma, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser and Bowser Jr. as unlockables. 2 beloved characters from a Mario RPG game will become DLC characters for the game's anniversary, alongside having their own board (note: if the Dream Stars from Paper Mario were hosts for MP5, why not have playable characters then?). 2. Gameplay & Gimics: The game plays as your traditional Mario Party game, with a grand total of 14 board, each themed after a certain character in the roster (excluding Luma and Diddy Kong, as they share theirs with Rosalina and Donkey Kong) and a pivotal point in their lives. The boards come to life through the Astral Gates, which embody the character the board is themed after (ex: Luigi -> Haunted Mansion board, because this was the first time Luigi played the role of hero to save Mario). There are 9 different game modes, 4 dedicated to traditional MP with different number of players (Bowser Party returns, but it's still normal MP, not like 10), and 5 dedicated to minigames. There is also a shop for costumes and sticker emotes you can use while playing (like Superstars), a theater mode for cutscenes, and a mode similar to the photo-op thing from MP10, but more like Data Greeting from Kingdom Hearts 3. 3. Hosts: Faefy is a ministar-like fairy creature and will be the default host of the game. However, Toadsworth, Lubba, and Prof. E. Gadd can also be hosts once the player completes certain missions, and Kamek serves as a surprise host after rescuing Bowser and Jr. in Story Mode or "Adventure Party" as it would be named. 4. Bosses: A possessed Bowser, Jr., and Koopalings will serves as bosses during MP game sessions, appearing as boss battles halfway through the game and at the end as the final minigame (in Free Play, you can turn on or off this gimmick if you want). There's a lot more to this game than what I just described, but if you want to figure out more, feel free to reply to this comment! Sorry if it was too long.

@@magicvalgirl2309 What do Roguevoid and Faify look like?

@mariobroultimate1808 Since they are from the same kingdom, they should look alike. They look similar to Sugarstar from Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures, but have a little star trail/tail and are color coded (Roguevoid is red and black, Faefy is light blue and white). Roguevoid is currently more monstrous-looking, similar to the Dark Lord from Miitopia or that one villain from Super Paper Mario. The plottwist to the game is that Faefy is his little sister.

Really!? Good for Luigi! Who are the other canonical winners of Mario Party?

Let's see, I know Luigi's win in MP3 has the most concrete evidence, but if I recall, MP1 was Wario, MP2 was Mario, and MP4 was Peach. 5 and 6 had canon winners too, but it was more complicated to determine so I don't remember for sure who they were. I 'think' 5 might have been Luigi again, and for 6 it was either Mario again, or maybe even Boo of all people.

@@Luigifan305 I see! Thank you for the information!

Thanks so much!
