Top Ten Mario Party Games with the Best Cover
What Mario Party game has the best cover art? The game's quality does not count. With that being said here is the list.
When I first saw this cover, I thought it was fake. Yep, it's just that good.
Even though this was the start of the car era, somehow this cover tricks you into thinking you're going to have one heck of a time.
This is hands down one of the best covers from any Mario game, not just Mario Party. Everything about this cover is just amazing, from the artwork to the layout.
Our man Wario is finally in the spotlight to start off with, and you can get a sense of exactly what this game is about just from looking at the cover: the car, the mini-stars, Bowser, and not to mention the gorgeous colors! This is easily the most eye-popping cover of the bunch, thanks to how vibrant and diverse the color choices are.
This one is easily my favorite cover.
What I said about eye-popping and colorfulness on 9 can be said about Mario Party 4's cover as well, just not to the same extent.
I mean, look at it. It's without a doubt one of the best and happiest-looking covers of the bunch. Everyone is glad and excited about the party.
It's a shame the game itself isn't...
By far the best handheld cover, this one has Mario and friends in Toadette's Music Room, running from giant Bowser but still having fun.
Yoshi is almost falling to his doom, but everything else is great! And that Mario pose is just great!
Mario's pose on this one is iconic to me, as he's pointing his finger across day on Towering Treetop and night on Faire Square.
There's a lot of personality on this one, and Mario's expression raises a lot of thoughts. Overall, this is the third-best cover.
Mario's expression, along with the divide between night and day, adds a lot of personality to this cover.
For being my least favorite game outside of The Top 100 and -e, Mario Party 5's cover is on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Everything about this cover screams excitement and partying, from the bright blue sky to all the characters forming a ball, with Mario at the top reaching for the star. I like it a lot!
It's a bit of a less interesting version of 6's cover, and instead of Mario pointing his finger, now he's about to stomp on the fourth wall. Yeah, that foot of his is the most notable part of the cover.
We also see Pyramid Park in the background, which is pretty nice. But 7's lack of day/night removes some atmosphere, but it's still great!
The cover shows that the Gamepad actually serves a purpose in this game. I also like the facial expressions.
The "Mario Party 10" logo is also the best in my opinion.
This cover has Bowser playing on the Wii U Gamepad in the spotlight, so it's automatically great.
What could have made this one better is having a more interesting setting in the background, as right now it's just the lifeless Mushroom Park board, which signifies the emptiness of the game. But Bowser is enough to love this cover.
This one is slightly bland, but it's nice to spot all the different Easter eggs and features present in the game itself.
We have Mario on one of those rockets, Luigi with Shy Guy's cards, Boo with an item, Waluigi on a carpet, Peach with mini-stars, a Banzai Bill in the background. This cover manages to capture all of the boards in one picture, and that's great.
From now on, the covers on the list will be a little lackluster, albeit interesting. Mario Party: Star Rush is the best handheld Mario Party title, and its cover contains a lot of the things that embody the game.
However, I feel like there's a bit too much "filler" that only exists to make it look less empty. But I like the green field.
The Newcomers
This cover is kind of meh, mostly because it lacks identity and personality.
It's just Mario and his friends walking to the right, but none of the characters take up a prime spotlight, and the background is just the carnival tent. It could have been a lot better.
