Super Mario Party seems to be like the classic Mario Party games.

Though Lakitu seems to have replaced boo as the guy that steals coin and stars.

Stealing Stars cost 30 instead of 50 too.

[up] In Mario Party 5, Chain Chomp stole stars for 30 coins as well.

Didn't Chain Chomp require rolling dice and hoping you run into your target to work? It's cheaper but also riskier.

[up] No, you're referring to Bullet Bill. Bullet Bill also was only able to steal coins. That being said, getting Chain Chomp is luck-based since it requires either landing on a space where a Chain Chomp capsule was thrown or by getting one yourself.

And Bowser is now a playable character. While I'm all for letting Bowser be playable, he kind of already has a specific role in the game as an antagonist who bullies players. Who is replacing him?

I found a video with 15 minutes on a board.

I'm just glad Diddy is playable.

That having been said... am I the only one who didn't hate the car mechanic? MP9 is actually my second favorite game in the series, after MP2.

Is that a Wocket in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

There's also that Bowser chase mode where you were all in car working together to escape Bowser. I wouldn't mind the car coming back just fr that mode, but that doesn't look like it'll happen.

Something that's tripping me out is that Bowser is playable, but there's no way they got rid of Bowser Spaces, right? They've been in every game so far. Did another villain replace him? If so, who? Wart? Tatanga? Fawful, maybe? Dry Bowser? Madame Broode?

Though I'm still mystified at how a Goomba rides a tricycle...

This truly is the E3 of miracles. Online play is finally coming to Mario Party. The catch? It's just minigames, not the full board game. At least there's progress?

Nintendo doesn't get how people can be friends online...that's why it's no boards.

To be fair, playing Mario Party is a good way to ruin a friendship.

[up][up]I'm pretty sure it's no boards because boards are super long compared to basically any other game. Even a game of DOTA 2 is shorter than the typical game of Mario Party.

I wonder if they'll bring back any fan-favorite boards, like Tycoon Town, or some of the more trollish ones like Peach's Birthday Cake.

Kinopio Taichou overview.

Seems to be a full book worth of Odyssey levels. And I think the Toad sprite hunt no longer requires amiibo, which now are just cheat codes.

is there a way to remap the controls in Mario Tennis Aces? I can't beat Spike's 20-shot challenge because I keep accidentally doing a charged Trick Shot when I mean to lob or drop the ball.

So apparently DiC Entertainment was going to make an animated feature film based off of Super Mario Bros, but for some reason that didn't pan out.

Nintendo KNEW they didn't wanted to bring in online play for Super Mario Party's party boards because they knew we would of had at least a Class 2 end of the world scenario where Nintendo destroyed everyone's friendships, thereby destroying all of our hopes and dreams because Luigi won the entire game without doing nothing again.

...Or maybe that's just my silly little assumption.

Also, hi. Just a fellow Mario fan in the forum thread here.
