So hey, Mario Party 9 for the Wii was released yesterday and
I find that crazy. There are nine Mario
Party games! No, there are 11 because of DS and Advance. ELEVEN! That is
some insane stuff right there. Too bad the quality seemed to be on a constant
downhill slide ever since 4. Regardless of how the quality in later games have
been, there are very few multiplayer experiences out there quite like Mario
Party. I remember plenty of great memories spent playing with friends and
family, even some of the lesser ones like Mario Party 6. Mario Party is a lot
of fun when you have a group to play with.

But what makes Mario Party Mario Party? Well, the mini-games
of course! Each game packs what seems like 60+ and they always make for a good
time. That is unless they’re luck based or require you to tap A furiously for
10 seconds like Domination, those games are awful. But hey, we’re not here to
talk about the bad, we’re talking about the good. The ten best, in fact. Yes,
in honor of Mario Party 9’s release I’m looking at what I consider to be the
ten best Mario Party mini-games. But before I begin, keep in mind that I don’t
own Mario Party 7 or Advace, so none of those will be on here. Technically I
don’t own 1 or 5 either but I’ve played those plenty with friends so I know of
them. Anyway, let’s get started.
