Well, that person's mod/hack fixed the worst thing about the game and showed us the true underrated RPG hidden inside.

Much like The Wind Waker, the problem was that it didn't give us what we expected and instead gave us something different, but while The Wind Waker (along with much of the GCN library) got vindicated, Mario Party Advance did not. This is because the games real quality, according to the video, is shown best when it's not thought of as a Mario Party game but rather an experiment.

So it's a good game, just not a good Mario Party game then?

It's a singleplayer board game adventure with some simple minigames along the way.

I don't think it's a particularly good game, but it's moderately fun if you go into it not expecting it to be like the "real" Mario Party games.

I feel like "single player board game movement" is terrible.

If they re-released it at a discount I would not buy it again, but if it comes to NSO I'll gladly spend some time on it.

My favorite Mario Party game is the one with RPG elements on the Nintendo 64

When my nephew and niece were much younger, I played Mario Party 10 with them, and Super Mario Party (my nephew was losing interest and my niece had interest). Now it's clear that online play is the only way I'll be able to play Mario Party multiplayer in the future.

Maybe some of us should swap Switch friend codes? I'm at work right now so I don't have it off the top of my head but I can post it later.

Mario Party Advance is exactly the Shadow The Hedgehog/Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts situation. Why else do you think it was retitled "Mario's Carnival Quest"?

On a note relating to RP Gs and Mario Party, do we know who exactly is making Mario and Luigi Brothership? Did Alphadream's people start a new company like with Hudson and ND Cube?

Not at the time being, at least not AFAIK.

[up][up]I think this is why people are so focused on seeing the game's developer because they want to know if Alphadream folks were given new jobs.

From what I've heard, Kiroyuki Kubota, the Director of Bi S, DT, and PJ, is at Monolith Soft right now and a good chunk of former employees went to work at ILCA.

I tried making an "Everybody is Here" router for Mario Kart, but man, even with Dividing up the weight classic into Feather, Light, Medium, Cruser, Heavy, and Jumbo, it's not working. There are just too many Little guys.

I wonder what the bathroom's owners thought about seeing 12 tiny racers driving around (Squeaky Clean Sprint track)...

Depends on what they thought upon seeing the tiny racers in the bedroom.

I lost track when I was making this roster twice. Is this everybody but the third party charters?

Alright. Back on Super Mario RPG remake.

STILL trying to do just 30 Super Jumps.

I can literally feel myself always holding the button a bit too long, but I. Keep. Doing. It.

And I've come close too. For every time where I botch it and only get up to like 5 (yes, I'm that bad), there have been few times where I get up to 29, but still manage to slip up at the end.

I've seen videos about various methods to pull it off, but they aren't working so far.

It's driving me nuts.

[up][up]Wait, why does Donkey Kong Junior weigh more than Donkey Kong?

Also, I think you mean "Cruiser" instead of "Curser."

But to answer your question, I don't see anyone who is obviously missing.

If anyone still plays Tour, Piranha Plant Pipeline's been back since yesterday and will be in the game and playable until July 24th.

Still surprising Pipeline didn't get preserved in the Booster Course Pass.
