Top Ten Reasons Modern Mario Party is Way Better Than Old Mario Party
Here is my list on why Modern Mario Party is way better than "Get Lost" Party 1-8. If you hate my list, that's ok, but remember opinions, I respect those people that like 1-8 but not those who force me to like those. I'm not trying to offend anyway, just expressing my opinion on why I like modern Mario Party more, if you find my comments biased and aggressive, keep in mind that I get really angry sometimes when my favourite video game of all time receives unneeded hate.
1-8 were pretty much the same thing except for different minigames and boards, but they used the same formula. Everyone moves where they want, plays a minigame, gets stars, and repeats. So BORING! It felt too long. The modern Mario Parties are all unique! 9 was revolutionary and the best Mario game of all time. It added car mechanics, boss battles, a bonus board, and three new characters: Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, and Kamek. I know DS had boss battles too, but those bosses sucked.
Island Tour was the first one on the 3DS, and each board in that game had a unique aspect. 10 added two new modes: Bowser Party and Amiibo Party, and two new playable characters: Rosalina and Spike. Star Rush added a new mode, Toad Scramble, a real hub world, and scrapped Party Mode. Not so tough now, old fanbase!?
Play the final boss battle in Mario Party Island Tour. That's one of the most amazing songs of all time! Or the bosses in MP9, amazing soundtrack.
The later soundtracks are kind of bland, but there are a few good soundtracks scattered here and there.
I know DS had boss battles too, but that was handheld and not modern. This was the first console Mario Party to include boss battles. Not only that, but most of the boss battles are GOOD! Chain Chomp and King Boo were amazing bosses with amazing soundtracks.
I love the boss battles because they are fun.
Koopa Kid was the laziest character in the Mario Party games! Thank God they removed him completely from Mario Party 8. Bowser Jr. is way better, and so are the Koopalings and Broodals.
I added this item so that you can read this, and I will now analyze the annoying fanbase of the first 9 games. Let's see, why do people hate modern Mario Party? They hate it for the worst reasons ever! It's different! Shut up, losers! Mario Party 1-8 felt super similar. One tiny feature doesn't make a game different! 5-7 were pretty much the same thing. If all Mario Party games were the same, you would also hate it. These people have never heard of the word "repetitive!" Even Hudson Soft thought the games were too similar, so SHUT UP!
For those who complain there never appear new characters in modern games: play the modern MP games. Amazing characters!
I like Bowser Party because you actually get to play as Bowser. However, I also understand why people don't like it.
This is by far the most entertaining mode in the series. It was sadly only in 10, but it was awesome.
They're all memorable. I only remember like 3-4 minigames from each old Mario Party game. Wait, I don't remember any minigame from 6. Shows how much more memorable the modern ones are.
Most of the modern ones are boring and luck-based. Only a few are enjoyable, in my opinion.
This was always a thing. Except in later Mario Party games, everyone got something, but it fluctuated based on performance in minigames, as opposed to only the winner getting the prize.
That is way more fair than older minigames!
This I actually like. Sometimes I just DO NOT want to play with 4 players, CPUs or otherwise.
Coins have appeared since Super Mario Bros.! Why aren't you happy with a new thing? You actually get a star at the end of each board, so shut up! Would you be glad if Nintendo added Pink Gold Peach Coins?
It's not that big of a deal. Who cares if it's coins or mini stars?
All you did in the first 8 was roll the dice, walk, play a minigame, and repeat. For at least an hour. Hey! I didn't come to play Mario Party to see the same thing repeated over and over again.
The boards in the newer Mario Party games are way more creative. Some of them resemble places from the Mario franchise, which are pure awesome references! I mean, look at MP2 and 5. These boards are so uncreative. All boards there end with either Land or Dream. Western Land, Pirate Land, Pirate Dream, Future Dream, Toy Dream, Bowser Land!?!? What kind of names are those!? The modern Mario Party games had good boards, not these uncreative Bowser's "nightmares!"
