History YMMV / MarioPartyTV

* GameBreaker: In the series metagame, Faire Square, thanks to its star mechanics-one can buy up to five stars at a time, and at nighttime the price is randomly set, with the chance of it being as low as five coins, meaning if someone was lucky with both coins and the price of coins, they could build a sizable lead of stars that the others couldn't catch up on. (Incidentally, their [=SuperSalt=] playthrough proved their point, as Mr. Doom ended up with 26 stars.) This, along with the star stealing boards, was why they changed to determining the series winner by a points system rather than amount of stars won for [=SuperSalt=].

* EpicFail: In the Pirate Dream board in ''Mario Party 5'', both bombs blew up at the same time in Defuse or Lose, causing a draw!

** To wit, Steeler's main issues with ''5'' are: the lack of shops forcing players to rely completely on the [[RandomNumberGod luck of the draw]] from the capsule machine; the fact you can be hurt by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard traps you set yourself]]; and the fact [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he can't play as DK or Toadette]].

** During their Mario Party 10 playthrough Steeler said Petey Piranha should be in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. Petey Piranha's later revealed to be the Final Smash of the Piranha Plant in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.

** The voting mechanic in certain titles to decide what battle minigame to play. If two people vote for one game and two others for a second, the game will automatically [[TakeAThirdOption choose the third one]]. It's not unusual to see the guys deliberately delay voting as long as possible, as they're well aware whoever votes last can be the REAL decider.

* HilariousInHindsight: At the start of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PZr_rCMrbM Toy Dream]], Holms comments that "In the next game, they should have a 0 dice block." One year later, ''9'' delivered just that.

* GetOnWithItAlready:
** "[[RunningGag Press A, Holms!]]"
** It's not unusual for the players to frequently check the map, counting out how many spaces they've got left and trying to see which path is best. Hardly unusual, but also brings out its share of salt.
** Stand-offs over which battle minigame to play when they're actually offered a choice can get ''ridiculously'' long. For a perfect example of this, check Episode 3-6 of ''Play Every Mario Party'', where they spend over ''nine minutes'' arguing over ''one minigame''.

* TheWoobie: Poor Clel can rarely catch a break. Ironically, though, he [[IronWoobie is easily the least salty of the guys]].

** They weren't particularly fond of ''9'', either, for many of the same reasons. No item shops, fewer mini-games, and the absence of Toadette and Boo.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Waluigi has polio, and any coins he wins in the games that don't go towards Stars are for the Polio Fund.

** ''5'''s version of the capsule system is not well-liked by the guys, since they can't buy any items and can be harmed by their own traps.
