I'm gonna do 10 topics about what your most hated Mario games are. Go ahead, pick.

Anything with Party at the end of it.

Dizzy · 08-19-2009, 12:51 PM

^Even the first 3?

I like almost all Mario games. While many have their flaws, they're almost always fun. I, however, didn't like Yoshi Topsy-Turvy/Universal Gravitation.

Luigiman7 · 08-19-2009, 02:27 PM

Topsy Turvy was dumb.

^^ Apparently not. Besides, he said

Dohohoho.

Dizzy · 08-19-2009, 02:51 PM

Heh heh heh...

But One was the best. Especially Running of the Bulb...

Microphone_Kirby · 08-19-2009, 02:56 PM

I like 6 and 7 the best. Reminds me of Monopoly...

Luigiman7 · 08-19-2009, 02:58 PM

6 and 7 WERE awesome.

But 2 is my favorite.

Metal Man · 08-19-2009, 04:10 PM

Mario's Time Machine.

Metal Mario · 08-19-2009, 04:36 PM

The early Mario Party games are awesome. And yes, the series has blunted its edge over time, but that's only because Nintendo hasn't done anything to innovate the series over the years. That doesn't mean that the games themselves are inherently bad. It just means that we personally have seen so much of the same go before that we've come to regard the formula as stale. If someone who's never played a Mario Party game before picked up Mario Party 8 and started to play it, they'd probably think it was freakin' shweet, especially if they were already a Mario fan in general.

Somehow developers like EA are able to release one football clone after another for every year of the decade, and critics always heap praise upon their efforts. Nintendo does the same with Mario Party, though, and they get panned.

Do I need to say it?

The Flattest Pancake · 08-19-2009, 04:40 PM

Actually, my least favorite is Mario Teaches Typing. It only sold a few games. Bad news that it was educational.

Also, your image entering didn't work,ahuambachano.

Mario's Time Machine was sh*tty. I wanted to like it but I couldn't.

The Flattest Pancake · 08-19-2009, 04:44 PM

Wait, it did.

Metal Mario · 08-19-2009, 04:51 PM

Mario's Time Machine isn't very good because it imposes too many stressful guidelines upon whom we can safely assume to be a younger player; there's a time limit, and you have to do things in a certain order.

Mario Is Missing isn't bad for what it is, though, so don't everybody go h8ting on it. I want to pre-emptively remind everybody that Mario Is Missing was never meant to be a game in the same vein as SMB 3 or SMW. It's an educational title with a Mario theme, not a grand Mario adventure that was supposed to hold you over until Yoshi's Island came out.

Just because a game is educational isn't a good enough reason to make it bad.
