Worst Mario Party Games

The Top Ten
1 Mario Party Advance

Honestly, this list is kinda terribly ranked. The way I see it, the only actually bad ones are Advance, 10, 1 The Top 100 and -e but yet, 9 and Island Tour are in the top three, when they're nowhere near as bad as any of the aforementioned games. And what the frick is STAR RUSH doing in the top ten? It's one of the most unique and fun experiences. And Mario Party 8 is below all of these decent installments? 5 and DS? Definitely should be higher than most of these as well.

This is the absolute worst! This is the only Mario party which is boring. Mario Party 1-10, DS, Star Rush and even island tour are way better! At least those have amazing mini games

Why is this even called Mario Party if it's only single-player? It doesn't even feel like Mario Party. Not to mention..., it gets pretty boring quickly.

2 Mario Party: The Top 100

This should honestly be higher than number 5. This game is VERY underdeveloped and feels unfinished. Bringing back 100 minigames is a good idea, but there is only one board, ONE BOARD. Not to mention, the board is literally a figure 8 with not much substance. This game looks like it doesn’t even try to be good. You can say that Mario Party 9 and 10 have the car mechanic which everyone says is worse than a normal board (which this game tries to have). In my opinion, if you are playing with a group of friends, you can get some enjoyment out of it from the randomness on each board. Mario Party 9 also tries to tell a story and Mario Party 10 has the bowser mode, which is broken, but can be enjoyed with friends. This game just feels unfinished.

The game isn't the best but it for sure isn't the worst. It takes all of the best mini games over the span of 10 Mario Party games and puts it in one package and despite the fact that the party mode is kind of bare bones, I still enjoyed it! Playing this with friends is a blast and for fans of the series, it's a wonderful nostalgia trip. Overall this game is fine and has no right being in the top 10 worst Mario Party games.

3 Mario Party: Island Tour

The boards are mediocre at best and have 65% luck gimmicks. The minigames are bad or way to simple. The modes are bland and the multiplayer is trash...and who wants to play this game with their friends by the way?

Eh..., well ok I suppose this game isn't very good. Personally I have a ton of nostalgia of it, plus the soundtrack is AMAZING. But there was a little too much luck here, and too little skill

I hate this game with a burning passion. Horrible gameplay, annoying voices, copies off Mario Party 9, worst Nintendo game ever! And Princess Peach sucks!

4 Mario Party 10

It would be pleasant to see this game at number 1 because I don't own any other Mario Party game. This game seems poorly developed; and people reading this will soon know why. Even though the roster and graphics are good, most other features are questionable.

To begin, I will say this: The vehicle that combines every single character playing a board returned from Mario Party 9. It ruins the fun and excitement.

The awards that players collect along the way are Mini Stars. Don't you think that the characters should have a more valuable award at the start? We could get coins, dollars, e tc. i nstead of Mini stars.

Bowser Party wasn't a bad idea, but it was ruined. On each attempt, I put Bowser on the lowest skilled difficulty and my teammates on the highest. Sadly, it is always nearly impossible to win even when going against a beginner. Bowser has several advantages that cause him to catch Team Mario repeatedly.

This game is also home to Bowser's Bad Breath which is by far the worst Mini game. Bowser Challenges require people to play this game. Eliminating someone takes six strikes; and it is nearly impossible. I want to unlock the easiest achievements, but unlocking the Bowser Challenge ones took way too long because of the lung energy wasted.

If you want a Party game, you should get either Mario Party 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Wii Party, or Wii Party U. If Mario Party DS and 3DS don't have these issues, then you may get them.

The game is probably less expensive than most because of the issues or disadvantages.

If you happen to enjoy the game, you will most likely realize the poor development.

5 Mario Party-E

To be honest, who even CARES about this one to begin with?

Um what even is this game? Never heard of it

Never heard of this Mario party before

6 Mario Party 9

It's my favorite Mario Party game. I am okay with the car mechanics and the mini-stars instead of coins and stars. But the lack of items is the only problem I have. All the mini-games are fun too. But, Mario Party Advance, Island Tour, and Star Rush is definitely the worst and can be agreed with a lot of other people.

Mario party 9 isn't the worst but is still kinda bad. The boards range from mediocre to okay and the minigames range from abomination to great. But the new gimmick ruined Mario Party. Mario Party 10, Advanced, Island Tour, and Star Rush (even its still not out yet) are worse than mario party 9 though.

Dude 9 shouldn't be anywhere near the top five. It changed up the formula, but it's not bad for that, as it needed change after stale installments before it. The minigames and minigame modes are some of the best in the entire series. The boards are cool too.

7 Super Mario Party

The game that proved why classic Mario Party should've ended off on a high note. Or..., maybe the developers were just lazy. People only like it because it's a "step in the right direction". Then again, anything that has the slightest faint of the classic formula is apparently a step in the right direction, according to fans, no matter how bad or underdeveloped it is. Seriously though, you have only four insignificant boards, crappy online support, you can't choose your computer players, no handheld support, the music is bland..., it doesn't have anything that made some of the classic entries fun. It's really bad from objective standards

The best classic Mario Party game

Nobody likes this abomination

8 Mario Party

Honestly should be way higher. From a critical and objective stand point this game really is quite terrible, from the underwhelming roster, lack of items, and the ugly textures. Normally graphics don't mind me but the N64 Mario Party took ugliness to an extreme.

The original Mario Party trilogy is much better than the Mario Party games in the sixth generation era of gaming and especially modern Mario Party (games that came after Mario Party DS). Yeah, I said it, modernists.

I love this game even though the stick rotating games are annoying and painful besides that this game almost have no flaws and is great!

9 Mario Party 8

Pretty overrated. Only liked by Wii kids who grew up with it. I grew up with it, but I always found it bland and slow in comparison to 9, which was on the same console.

The least original Hudson Soft Mario Party game

The tag battle mode had my siblings butting heads, and some of the minigames are too hard to actually be playable. Flip the Chimp in a nutshell.

10 Mario Party 4

Bland, the mega/mini mushroom mechanic is just a snore, the boards are uninspired, and the game just feels like a slog. Minigames are fun, but it has the charm sucked out of it. It really pales in comparison to the other gamecube games and the n64 ones before it.

What do people see in this game? Sure it a few excellent minigames, but the majority is pretty lame. What's even lamer is the board gameplay infested with bland visuals and crappy mechanics that only rely on luck. One of the worst games without hesitation

This game is a joke... This ruined the whole mario party series and I never won because of Yoshi...

The Contenders
11 Mario Party 5

Where to begin? This game is very boring for classic Mario Party standards. The boards are all very uninspired and basic (just look at Future or Rainbow Dream), the music is fairly insignificant and has that "meh" feel to it, and the minigames are also just meh. This should be in the top five not 9 for frick sake

This game has the best minigames in the warehouse of Mario party! This was my first game I have ever got! Thank god I bought a GameCube brand new in 2011! Brand new on Amazon!

Only problem: Why is Koopa Kid a playable character?

12 Mario Party: Star Rush

It's a good game with an amazing concept, I just wish there was a story mode to give it more depth. Also sometimes on Toad Scramble it becomes hard to get Super Star Rush because the computeres keep on going to the boss spaces.

Just because it has rosalina does not mean it sucks so your saying super mario galaxy and 2 and mario kart 8 7 and deluxe and mario run I forgot the characters rpster and etc sucks just play the games jeez

It not the same when everyone moves at the same time, looks kinda boring when I looked at the trailer

13 Mario Party DS

This was my first Mario Party and it still remains my favorite. The boards were pretty good, story mode was good, and the mini games were great and memorable.

This is really a great game. Who cares if the mini games are hard? That makes the game more challenging which is it a good thing.

Overrated. Only liked because of nostalgia and because it's the best of the handhelds. Compared to the console entries, this pales

14 Mario Party 2

This was sucking because Mario party one was special. Here comes Mario party two with me thinking that it will be something way better but it was just the same old lazy boring Mario party original! Thank god it got rid of the games that would destroy the palm of your hand!

15 Mario Party 7

It's good, however it's easily the worst of the "best" Mario Parties (2, 3, 6, 7, 9 and Superstars). Bowser Time kind of ruined it all

Mario party 5-7 was so repetitive and used same design for all characters.

It's a blame game

16 Mario Party 6

One of the best Mario Party games ever! The mini-games are even better than ever, the maps are great, and the night and day thing is the best! It is truly a must own for any gamecube collector across the globe!

This game is great. With the nifty day and night system, good boards, good mini games, and lots of extra content on top of that this game never gets old with friends

This is one of the best.

17 Mario Party Superstars

The playable character roster doesn't have Koopa Troopa in it, which makes it automatically suck.

18 Mario Party 3

Mario Party 3 is easily one of the best entries, so to see it in last place pleases me very much. It and 6 are the gold standards

Why is this number 8? I liked it.
