  Fun fact: Mario Party 1&apos;s canonical SuperStar was Wario since he begins Mario Party 2 adamant that it should be WarioLand since &quot;he was the superstar&quot; in the opening cutscene<br><br>Similarly Mario Party 2 was won by Mario since its called MarioLand canonically <br><br>And Mario Party 3 was won by Luigi though thats the only one not outright said but strongly implied. During the story Luigi takes the place of any character you&apos;re playing as but if you choose Luigi all the characters are in their natural spots and he is the best candidate that fits most of the stickers you collect <br><br>After 3 though its a lot less noticeable who might have won the previous Mario Party but I always thought it was neat the 64 games had canonical winners and losers (also I find it hilarious wario won the first game)

  Lol I’ll never get over the way Bowser just punts the star space in Superstars after Toad is just whisked away by the Cheep Chomp.

  I like when the one Koopa Kid in the middle introduces himself as “the handsome one” causing the other two to slap the back of his face. XD

  Mario party DS had such a good overarching theme like all the mini games being mini versions was behond creative

  Coming back later, but i absolutely love the way Jamboree does its story mode. Conforming that these boards exist within physical space, and that this party is being run by a lot of workers in the background is so cool

  As weird as this sounds, the story modes in this series were always a highlight for me. I loved the Bowser fights in 4, 5, and 7, and getting to battle the Millennium Star in 3 was a lot of fun. And I loved how the GameCube entries in particular handled the story, as well as introducing original and returning characters. I even have a soft spot for 9, love the boss battles. <br><br>I&apos;m really hoping that Jamboree will have a proper story mode.

  Funny that Mario Party 5 does have a plot twist of sorts: Bowser&apos;s dream is that he wanted to face a strong opponent and he got it after you beat him (which is weird considering how much he fights Mario lol)

  One thing I thought was really funny was that in DS bowser is both the bad guy and the good guy at the same time. He hosts bowser spaces, the obvious bad space to land on, but he also hosts the final five turns event. He literally feels bad for the person in last place with 5 turns left so he gives them something to help them.

  Considering how many Mario Party games have Mario and his “friends” arguing, and how many minigames have them punch and/or kick each other off platforms, I begin to question if Mario really has friends at this point. If he did, he wouldn’t be arguing with them in so many games, and punching and kicking them for no reason in minigames, right?

  Wow no love at all for Mario Party 9 Story Mode? This is one of my favorites, It has Shy Guy and Kamek as rivals, you have to beat at all costs, the funny cutscenes of Bowser and Bowser Jr talking and revealing the bosses, the actual boss battles and even has a ranking system for each time you beat the story.
