| 9 | The ''Mario Party'' series is not short on catchy or epic tunes, even as a lighthearted spinoff title. The soundtracks of the first two games in the series were fully or partially composed by Creator/YasunoriMitsuda, who was well-known for his work on the ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' soundtrack. |

| 13 | [[folder:''Mario Party'' (1998)]] |
| 14 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPz59NlIZKs The Room Underground.]] A techno remix of the classic underground theme leaves little to be desired. |
| 15 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgHFUNskKh0 Traveling the Warp Pipe]] has a very charming, whimsical sound to it, perfect for starting the adventure. |
| 16 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUkcoptWXDU Faster than All]] is an enjoyable, fast-paced theme that is perfect for the faster-paced minigames with a beginning that sounds like the classic slide theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''. |
| 17 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKwGvT5c8VI Jungle Adventure.]] A slow drumbeat with tribal horns. It sounds a lot like it wouldn't be out of place in a Donkey Kong game. |
| 18 | * The serene [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxY0gzew40M Rainbow Castle]] makes one want to relax. |
| 19 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjrkHJMpeU Magma Mountain]] brings out Bowser's usual maliciousness and makes one feel like they're heading into an epic showdown with the Koopa King. Bonus points for using elements of Bowser's theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' in here. |
| 20 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjQ19sT6NAY Eternal Star]] has a cool, ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' theme song sound to it. |
| 21 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfkCR4hZTro Luigi's Engine Room!]] It's fitting for a place with man-made mechanical things, but it is also very cheery! |
| 22 | * The closing credits theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-GEpG-bcgw Everyone's A Super Star!]], shows a triumphant conclusion for the original game, with a hint of greater things to come for the series following this one. |
| 23 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPuTtvC-WBk The Main Theme]] is appropriately catchy and cheerful. |
| 24 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLClxxM0GSY Let's Go Lightly]], most notably found on Bobsled Run and an epic tune for the ride down. |
| 25 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1oOMG7NDI4 The Wide, Wide Ocean]]. |
| 26 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bPtlScYnXI results music]] may be one of the most simplistic yet awesome pieces of drum music ever recorded. |
| 27 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7uDV47JebM Move to the Mambo!]] Interestingly removed in the North American release of this game. |
| 28 | * The short, but still very beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzsxuGfw7_4 "The Power of the Stars"]] plays as you see what effect the superstar has on the board. It starts off soft to show the wonder of what's happening before building into a triumphant march, leading into "Ending", the upbeat, celebratory music that plays over the results. |

| 31 | [[folder:''Mario Party 2'' (1999)]] |
| 32 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3204TAJ9USI credits theme]]. So beautiful... |
| 33 | * The song from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKH3vyeOopM Bowser Land]] could be used for any one of Bowser's normal levels. |
| 34 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esdyTbVybfI World 8 and 9]] of the Mini-Game Coaster. Coaster World [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uy-MfFBZrc 2]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz_A4jv5HJk 5]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2rtavBOqI 7]] are also nice. Particularly World 7, which is good as that world has many [[ThatOneLevel hard minigames]]. |
| 35 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRZq6lX1Exk Horror Land]] sounds eerie and ghostly. Then again, this is a board that's themed after magic and ghosts, and an eerie theme like this wouldn't be out of place here. |
| 36 | * The futuristic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyuzAHoRxFc Space Land]] sounds like an adventure in outer space as you patrol the space colony. |
| 37 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrBXGDnUq7A Keepin' on the Path]], 100% catchy. |
| 38 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX8r-bkoYso Going Somewhere]], used for this game's version of Bobsled Run and has much the same feel to it. |
| 39 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQCkA1jmbrM Walking Underwater]], used for underwater minigames and one secret minigame, has a relaxing accordion, as a serene theme like this goes well with water. |
| 40 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnuGhKoX2i4 Dancing Star]], used in "Move to the Music", is one of two themes that plays here, and the beat just makes you want to dance and keep up... or you're out of the game! The other track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBVkuJAGRo0 Rhythm Shakers]], boasts a jazzy saxophone riff, lively brass section, and groovy bassline to get you moving! |
| 41 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytg-x2ga-nY The intro music and "Go Lucky", the title screen music]], are this and a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. |
| 42 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fOVR9CBDCw Main Menu]] is another earworm. |
| 43 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyVC00rKf9s Woody's Theme.]] Bouncy, soft, and sounding like pulling wood. Perfect for a being named "Woody". |
| 44 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBj2kodw6po Bowser Appears]]. A sinister theme with an equally sinister sax, this will either make you dread getting the Bowser Bomb or want to "win" it just to hear this theme and/or screw over your rivals. Also plays during the end of board cutscenes. |
| 45 | [[/folder]] |
| 46 | |
| 47 | [[folder:''Mario Party 3'' (2000)]] |
| 48 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A89N1Dc5dA Star Lift]] is a beautiful character select track that has the mysticism of stars and magic coming together. |
| 49 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y81RfgS9YI Mario Party 3's final boss game]] sounds like something out of a space shooter, and really makes you give it your all against the adversary testing you. |
| 50 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BM26XJ7l3s Let's Get a Move On!]] gives new meaning to soaring themes. It's calm and soothing while being hectic and rapid. |
| 51 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_OLPr0_c2s Spiny Desert.]] |
| 52 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xPFETHr8vc Chilly Waters.]] |
| 53 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/r1OSWOvIDME Deep Bloober Sea/Bubble Bubble Ocean.]] |
| 54 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apps0PKAsns Woody Woods.]] |
| 55 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou3YrDi97zY The last Duel Mode theme.]] |
| 56 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmAD_Byaf5U Creepy Cavern.]] |
| 57 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59oRn_ljOHk Shy Guy's Room.]] It's a casino theme. Catchy like a casino, gives you a rush like a casino, and you'll find yourself betting more times. Good luck! |
| 58 | * The two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iWk0g3unCA Waluigi]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57SDFpzGNY8 themes]]. Each one represents very well the balance of cartoonish silliness and dreadful cunning that Waluigi has. |
| 59 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR3VaJqM7og What To Do!?!]] As the title suggests, it's the perfect song for those more tense games. |
| 60 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMLqu4N7Li4 Nice and Easy]], similar to "Let's Go Lightly"/"Going Somewhere" but with more of a space feel. |
| 61 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqRufsVadME Fighting Spirit]] really gets you into the game and has a competitive but cheerful feel to it. |
| 62 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjSEu1EoFU Staff Credits]] (renamed "Millennial Star" for ''Mario Party Superstars'') theme is an emotional sendoff for not just the 1990s going into the new millennium, but also from the series giving its last hurrah from the Nintendo 64 going into their next console, the Nintendo Gamecube, and beyond that. |

| 67 | [[folder:''Mario Party 4'' (2002)]] |
| 68 | * It's just a short jingle, but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVnmhaiQwkA title theme]] of the fourth game is quite catchy. |
| 69 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZcM1SVn7xU Try Everything]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP94aw3XPIA Valuable Treasure]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0l9fS4-_hY Play a Lot]], which are variants on the same theme. |
| 70 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RerKYu-32lk Are you ready? Let's roll the die!]] |
| 71 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxgPECYhbaI Loud and Sweet]], another catchy tune. |
| 72 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YKIXryyfgI Full of Vigor]], another epic-styled tune. |
| 73 | * [[https://youtu.be/LZN_cDDid2A Play with Bowser]], a threatening tune to heighten the ParanoiaFuel, as your coins and stars are on the line in the minigames where this song plays. |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:''Mario Party 5'' (2003)]] |
| 77 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cxDEcid3xQ Start the Dream]], the intro music for a mode. |
| 78 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpGc_bLcapo Bowser's Scheme]], playing as Bowser and Koopa Kid enact their evil plan. |
| 79 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOvM1TuzkJw Bustling Noisily]], similar to "What To Do!?!" in atmosphere and simply awesome in its own right. |
| 80 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nhOprHJFkY Serious Competition.]] Darker and more foreboding for the harder minigames. |
| 81 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Q_kOo8aE4 Everybody Party]] is friendly and quite frantic, especially for those fast-paced minigames. |
| 82 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSVxv1wCVM Exciting Walk]]. Exceedingly catchy. |
| 83 | * Frightmare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXdtP4Wkyo Phase 1]] and ''especially'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWPN7cMYJEU Phase 2]]. The former is sinister like you're in the first stage of a horrific nightmare. The latter is a more epic conclusion, telling you the nightmare is about to end on a happy note. |
| 84 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seGSTJ7kbTg In Calm Water]], a remix of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' underwater theme. |
| 85 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNQZUPPvYoc Burning Challenger]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC-jUif00VU We're The Champs]] from the Super Duel mode's "tournament finals" scene. The music and visuals as you and your opponent cruise down that runway engage you in the mood of a tense final match between the best two of eight contenders in a fierce competition. |
| 86 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdj7IshqKRs Everybody's Dream]], the credits theme. |
| 87 | [[/folder]] |
| 88 | |
| 89 | [[folder:''Mario Party 6'' (2004)]] |
| 90 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHDuRsa0zaM Party Time]], the title theme is quite fitting and upbeat. |
| 91 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhJVumjcpaI Doom and Gloom]] provides exactly the atmosphere that its title suggests. |
| 92 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XPYY6kw-Rk Fast and Furious]], used for all the Battle minigames and also provides exactly the same atmosphere as its title suggests. |
| 93 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdJ8WjyL4qQ Relaxed]] is one the best mini-game tracks in the game. |
| 94 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jrMfNWVSwo Warming Up]], the theme that plays during a mini-game's introduction. |
| 95 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgHBrmkwOqk Clockwork]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZKYq1qTL3E Castle]]. It's quite an epic theme in both the day and night. |
| 96 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveJPDjmWN0 Miracle Book.]] |
| 97 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqMV_fILjBY E. Gadd's Garage and Night at the Garage.]] They've both got a catchy beat and an attitude that shifts between upbeat and a little bit uneasy. They're perfect at evoking an atmosphere where the machines are always running and they're on your side, but not necessarily working correctly. |
| 98 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks2sEwSWdVQ Star Gathering.]] |
| 99 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA1YaXMnsao Whoop It Up,]] the Epilogue theme, cheesy but leaves a good feeling. |
| 100 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FTfcpE3-04 Mario Party 6]] credits theme, a cheery medley of tracks from all across the game. |
| 101 | [[/folder]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | [[folder:''Mario Party 7'' (2005)]] |
| 104 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buNp3TBAD6A Hail to the King.]] |
| 105 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTgH8NHWLeY Neon Nation.]] |
| 106 | * Bowser has some excellent themes in this game, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TibMVVJhwR4 Bowser's Rage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7gTt8zuVe8 Stop! Bowser Time!]], and the theme of the final board, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pronkYuZjE Inferno!]] |
| 107 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ASC1Ri0VHo Windmillville.]] |
| 108 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBUeAcObFqE Darkness Rising]], another tune fitting of its title and the games it goes with. |
| 109 | * This game also has its "epic-style" tune... in two different styles! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpIpK8iV4Rk Skyward Bound]] for a more energetic style and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uekf6K6tfak Don't Look Down]] for a more laid-back style. |
| 110 | * The real star of this game, though, is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlyaq5_iefU Bowser's Revenge]]. One of the most frantic and intense [=BGMs=] out there, for some of the most frantic and intense mini-games ever devised for the Mario Party series. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:''Mario Party 8'' (2007)]] |
| 114 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLh9NxkNnJQ It's A Dead Heat]], or Mario Party does guitar. And it is good. |
| 115 | * The "scary, tense" minigame music has always been great, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkxJmXSuZE8 Proceed Without Fear]] is no exception. |
| 116 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAVJEPAOjD0 Feeling Cyber,]] the techno theme for when you're pulled into cyberspace and then have to win your way out. |
| 117 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNF03t9Yb00 Happy-Go-Lucky.]] A sweet theme song for some of the friendlier minigames. |
| 118 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbhdUkki02o Friendly Competition]] is upbeat and cheery, emphasizing that this is just a friendly game compared to others. |
| 119 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhqTwfQK0w How to Play Minigames.]] This song is a relaxing tune meant to prepare you for the upcoming minigame. |
| 120 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYrPuPQw2N0 Minigame Winner]]. Never has winning a minigame sounded so sweet. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:''Mario Party DS'' (2007)]] |
| 124 | %%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LCT6_XuCvA intro theme.]] |
| 125 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-epiPLkuLI Wiggler's Garden]] has a soft beat and a friendly air despite everyone wanting to be the one who saves the day. |
| 126 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrZ0aW4Eog0 Toadette's Music Room]]. Catchy, serene, and like an orchestra comprising the instruments on the board. |
| 127 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQh9Jjsscs final boss theme]]. Starts off quiet but sinister, and then it builds up into a much more terrifying remix of the normal boss theme. |
| 128 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSfeqjXaAGg regular boss music]] is pretty sweet and serious. Fighting bosses, however easy, makes this song worth it. |
| 129 | [[/folder]] |
| 130 | |
| 131 | [[folder:''Mario Party 9'' (2012)]] |
| 132 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NqK9xJR0CA Be Careful!]] You really do need to be careful here because of the music. |
| 133 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbqN2uJyNeo Go Crazy!]] Catchy. |
| 134 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyNyyfzpovg Freshen Up!]] You can hear a very familiar and well-known theme here. |
| 135 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9RzfcrY1gQ Fun Times]]. You're having these when you're listening to this. |
| 136 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx18enxmSiE Which Is It]]. This will make you think. |
| 137 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hAN-uzDIP4 Bowser Station]] is an epic song that is reminiscent of Eternal Star from the original. |
| 138 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpFYq2hMU-c Free Play]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESDPT_3M91M Free Play 2]] is the same thing but has a cool intro with it. |
| 139 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8sO2FpHOl8 Step It Up.]] |
| 140 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MT8L8rgUZg Garden Battle]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjcTyYyJnKM Garden Battle 2]] is the version with the intro. |
| 141 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXClvT-_qcU Choice Challenge]]. There is another tune you should recognize just by listening to it. |
| 142 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRAVnvoN2pg High Rollers.]] |
| 143 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Us9D_K36A Time Attack.]] |
| 144 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViDNJBfuU_M Boss Rush.]] |
| 145 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEnUBnd3GhA Boo's Horror Castle theme]] is awesome as well. |
| 146 | * The theme that plays when Bowser sics the board's boss on you, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9eCiNyS9do Showdown]], gets you pumped for one final challenge. |
| 147 | * The bosses from ''Mario Party 9'' alone offer a lot of great tunes. |
| 148 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMseBzIFOw8 The general miniboss theme,]] Tough Enemy, which is a nice little fun theme for fighting the lower minions of Bowser. It gets more faster paced and frantic [[TurnsRed once half their health is gone]], with the appropriately titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWuVx4gNjzk Now You've Done It]]. |
| 149 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIM-K8uESiQ Wiggler's boss theme.]] A silly little tune that is quite catchy and fits well as a first boss theme. Naturally, Wiggler drops all pretense at half health, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCFywojV8Io while the music changes to something a bit more fitting for the occasion]]. |
| 150 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgnrYu4ajAU King Bob-Omb's boss theme.]] It's a serious sounding tune, which definitely fits the King of all Bob-Ombs. Once the good king's health is reduced to half, he quits playing around, begins throwing Bob-Ombs at those unfortunate enought to not grab a bomb of their own, and accompanied by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC6_oIid4s4 this kick-ass pinch version that heightens the tension]]. |
| 151 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blaRsUNwv-o King Boo's boss theme.]] It may not hold a candle to King Boo's theme from ''Luigi's Mansion'', but there's no doubt this regal and haunting melody fits him. At half health, he cranks it up a notch as the melody becomes a bit faster paced, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVUjdFZlK4 signaling that this puzzle waltz will be your, or his, last]]. |
| 152 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMMRCW0kltw Blooper's boss theme.]] An epic sort of pirate shanty. At half health, Blooper gets serious, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6TvMnviLzE as the music changes and begins to sound something like one of Gruntilda's themes]] in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' (which were already awesome themes in their own right). |
| 153 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE8WFGirl3Y Chain Chomp's boss theme.]] This theme wouldn't actually sound out of place in a Paper Mario game, but nonetheless, it's still catchy, and plays during the game's most unique boss. When half of Chain Chomp's health has been blasted away, he reaches his peak of anger and makes choosing tracks a bit more difficult, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5wpcaT_CII as the music segues into a more menacing, but still catchy, pinch version of the song]]. |
| 154 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiGiUC09v0M Bowser Jr.'s boss theme.]] The only miniboss in the game to get his own theme, his is a jazzy casino style tune that sounds like it would fit some kind of casino type minigame. Given that you're rolling numbers on a dice block to attempt to deal damage to Bowser Jr., it fits, but [[ThatOneBoss you're likely going to be too busy swearing up a storm to even notice the music because of how difficult he is]]. When Bowser Jr.'s health reaches its halfway point, he realizes he must make the players fold, or fold himself. Looking to shake off his father's pursuers, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOPdyowRYf8 this is where you're gonna start gamblin' for some serious damage on the Lil' B.]] |
| 155 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsOZitum-LA Bowser's final boss theme.]] It naturally wouldn't be a Mario game without an epic theme accompanying the King of Koopas. At the end of his rope, Bowser realizes he has no further defenses, and is ready to duel with everyone currently present, and he will stop at nothing to make sure his plans succeed. The dark, somber music definitely reflects that, and makes a good theme all on its own. With the final few bits of his health remaining, Bowser triples in size and makes things much harder, making sure not to go gentle in the face of his opponents. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Zwyq90FlU The music's change in tone from somber to intense and dangerous seals the deal]]; either your mission will fail and Bowser gains the power of the Mini-Stars, or he falls once again and gives up the final remnants of the huge power he once had at the beginning of this journey. A fitting end to the last boss of the game. |

| 171 | * [[http://youtu.be/zdGZlIMU9tc Chaos Castle Theme 1]], [[http://youtu.be/ONHb9CLaFnI Theme 2]], and especially [[http://youtu.be/vx2n6o2N1YU Theme 3]] which combines multiple castle themes from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' to ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''. |
| 172 | %%* [[http://youtu.be/UDCYM1tp35Q Great Party!]], the party results screen. |
| 173 | * [[http://youtu.be/c9HfveOAktA Hello, Toad]] reuses the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' Toad House theme. |
| 174 | * [[http://youtu.be/HSdj47FWk1k The Minigame Begins]], also known as the dramatic VersusCharacterSplash with cheerful colors and ComicallySerious faces. |
| 175 | * [[http://youtu.be/NafWuIeY2QA Minigame Tournament]] has a subtle rendition of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''[='=]s Beach Bowl Galaxy theme. |
| 176 | * [[http://youtu.be/k2jD03Ve8OY Who Won?]], the victory theme for bonus games that is commonly mistaken as the main theme of the game. With an energetic and triumphant sound, it might as well be the main theme! |
| 177 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BipGeAu-auA Bowser's turn]]. It sounds sinister before building up to a new level of terror as he rolls the dice. It easily flows into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jn840PHXxU Go, Bowser]], which up the sinister-ness of it all as he comes right for Team Mario, destroying everything that could get in his way. |
| 178 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X23pMt3q3Sk Angry Bowser's turn]] begins with a number that underscores pure anger over having failed to defeat Team Mario the previous turn. Rapidly flows into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayvqd0zKLkM Go, Angry Bowser]], which sounds berserk as he rampages his way over to Team Mario. |
| 179 | * If at any time Bowser catches you in Bowser Party mode, you can expect to hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUfOKkUTgvk Bowser Appears]]. It is terrifying, especially as you see Team Mario running for their lives, trying desperately to avoid the Bowser minigames. |
| 180 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ws7iqIXLfA Bowser Wins]]. Never has there been such a scary theme that also happened to be triumphant. Of course, TheBadGuyWins here, so that's to be expected. |

| 184 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le_m0E9YRgA&t=61s Kamek's Card Tricks]] sounds amazing, and it only gets better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_u0juKSFV4&t=101s when he]] TurnsRed. |

| 188 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgLgSQPN0Gw The main theme]] is a happy and jaunty piece of an energetic saxophone playing along with the drums. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABuqLw-TXGg The characters singing along to the intro]] is also nice to hear. |

| 192 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn60IVTX0tU The Homestretch theme for Peach's Birthday Cake]]. They took one of the slower, gentler music tracks from the original ''Mario Party'' and went ''super hard'' into turning it into a truly boppin', upbeat track for when it's the last 5 turns. |
| 193 | * In a rather cool detail, the new arrangement of Horror Land's theme has two variations: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAmpUY0VQQ a lighter arrangement for when it's daytime]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0RllUZ80OI and a spookier arrangement for when it's nighttime]]. This also applies to the board's Homestretch theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12uzanmIrs day]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbC2jY-QScA night]]), which is also a jam. Shoutouts can also go out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfTdTaWXb-w Party At The Haunted Mansion!]] for being a groovin' dance track fit for the Halloween party vibes at hand. |
| 194 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv_BehWsMe4 Space Land]] has a great new arrangement, making the original tune sound even better with fans saying it gives off ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' vibes. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCWRbJ4NMHU The last five turns version]] also kicks up the ante, making it more of a tense, climactic, TriumphantReprise fitting for any close matches there. |
| 195 | * Fans agreed that one of the best mini-game song remixes came from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n5uAZZfwgM No Fright, No Fear]] from ''Mario Party 2'', with the added instrumentation making the song a lot more tense, yet powerful in all the right ways. |
| 196 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=413PS3OKTFY Big Trouble]] from ''Mario Party 3'' may only appear in Cheep Cheep Chase for ''Superstars'', but man, does this rendition crank up the tension to make it work incredibly well for that mini-game! |
| 197 | * If you didn't like "Languid Cold Sweat" from ''Mario Party 4'', don't worry, because ''Mario Party Superstars'' brings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjzmaiL4VnE one heck of a remix]] of that track. With its addition of vocals such as a male opera singer, it's sure to give you anxiety as you desperately race to the finish in Paths of Peril. |
| 198 | * The closing credits theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPE3YP5YqrI Everyone's a Superstar]], gives off a loving tribute to the series with a CreditsMedley composed entirely of songs from each of the first ten ''Mario Party'' games from the Nintendo 64 to the Wii U. While some games are given more attention than others, each of them is bound to give long-time fans of the series some fond memories of the series along the way. |
