All it took was a few rolls of the six-siders, and soon we were subjected to the cruel twists of fate fans of the series know and love. While this is all well and good, nothing tells Mario Party 4's tale better than putting it to the test, and that's exactly what we did. It's a simple yet effective formula that's lasted the whole series.
In case you're new to the MP experience, the game essentially takes one to four players around a Chutes Ladders-style board-rolling the dice and unlocking mini-games along the way. Once the who's who has been settled, you're ready to hit the boards. Starting a game is as easy as selecting from the party-hearty crew of Donkey Kong, Daisy, Princess Peach, Mario, Yoshi, Waluigi and Wario (among others). Thankfully, each game leads off with a detailed description of the controls, as well as the option of taking it for a practice run-giving newbies a fair shot at keeping up with Mario Party mastas! And not the enhanced, repurposed and recycled mini-games of Mario Partys past, either all 50 games are brand new.Īlthough some of these find you mashing buttons Track and Field-style, others take finesse and precision timing to master.
And how many mini-games does Mario Party 4 pack in? Fifty. Think about it: Arcade games in the '80s could've survived on the premise of one of /HP's mini-games alone. With nearly every new mini-game as fun and inventive as the last, we wonder how Hudson's developers do it. For a series that is about to go four-deep, Mario Party is still-surprisingly-full of cool, new ideas.
