this mario party started so well that I had to make everyone drawn into a mirror like an actual party game which involved our heroic Heroes where they were all rolling dice and starting a big adventure of gameplay which they already have

For being a game that started a series so popular its very goodi it has the most boards all which are amazing the oldest and remembering when u got it so much nostalgia

Un juego pionero e innovador, todo aquí funciona perfectamente, los personajes, la música, las reglas de juego, el guion, los tableros, los minijuegos, la rejugabilidad. Todo ha sido ejecutado a la perfección. Amás de 25 años de su lanzamiento, el juego sigue siendo disfrutable.

The beginning. It has a lot of issues- Most of them come from the Board layout and minigame controls, but as a whole, this was a good game.There aren't many party games that can match Mario Party's level of ease of play, but also uniqueness. It's a board game-style mini game collection, but it does it so well and has been since this game's release. It doesn't reinvent the wheel with every new game, but instead continues to add another layer of polish to what this game laid ****'s a bit dated compared to a new entry, but it's still a lot of fun.

Not that great. I've played and enjoyed almost all Mario Party games, including the other two on the N64, there's just something about this one. It feels so much blander and uninspired than the others, the minigames are never something I find myself wanting to play, and the games feel as though they stretch on forever.

Primero de la serie y además fue innovador en su género de minijuegos y tableros de mesa, tiene sus problemas al ser muy viejo, pero eso no le quita lo innovador.

Mario Party sur N64 est un très bon démarrage de la série des mario party, un peu comme l'a été Super Mario Bros pour les smb. Pour évaluer différents du jeu : - Les maps sont au nombre de 8 (ce qui est beaucoup quand même), sont vraiment cools et originales - les personnages sont seulement 6 mais ce n'est aucunement un problème - les Mini jeux 1v1v1v1, sont vraiment bons pour la plupart même si certains sont à supprimer, on voit que c'est leur premier essai pour cette série de jeux - les Mini jeux 2v2,même critique que pour les 1v1v1v1 - les Mini jeux 1v3 , par contre je suis pas fan du tout, certains sont mal très mal équilibrés, d'autres manquent d'originalité, d'autres trop facile... Cependant, il y en a 1 que je trouve très bien pensé, c'est celui on le joueur tout seul met le costume de bowser et les autres lui volent son or avec des marteaux, un jeu très amusant et drôle (sauf pour le joueur seul ;) ) - les Mini jeux solo, mise à part 1 qui est assez simple, les autres sont validés - derniers points sur les mini jeux, certains 1v1v1v1 sont juste des jeux où l'on joue à 4 en équipe et où tout le monde est gagnant, ces Mini jeux là n'ont aucun intérêt, mais au moins ils auront testé ; une autre chose, certains mini jeux font perdre de l'argent aux perdants, je trouvais cette idée sympa mais c'est vrai que ça déséquilibre le jeu, donc je comprends que ce soit resté seulement pour les cases bowser - Histoire, ça peut un peu spoil cette partie là, il n'y a que très peu d'histoire mais j'ai aimé le moment où bowser nous vole les 100 étoiles, j'aurais encore plus aimé s'il y avait un combat final contre bowser mais c'était déjà cool ce "retournement" de situation - graphisme, le jeu n'est pas très beau, les maps en 2D et les personnages en 3D ça fait un peu bizarre - durée de vie du jeu, le jeu a une bonne durée de vie, surtout avec l'objectif des 100 étoiles, certains objets à acheter dans la boutique, l'île au mini jeu ou encore le shop des mini jeux. conclusion : Mario Party sur N64 est un bon jeu qui a mis les bases de la série des Mario Party et a testé énormément de choses (que ça soit bien ou mauvais au moins ils ont essayé), il compte 50 mini jeux, 8 maps et 6 personnages, et une durée de vie assez longue

"Mario Party" para N64 es un juego de mesa virtual con personajes de Nintendo, destacando por su divertido modo multijugador. Ofrece unos 60 minijuegos variados y tableros temáticos, con mecánicas sencillas pero efectivas. Aunque falla por la repetición de algunos minijuegos y la falta de innovación, su jugabilidad y la atmósfera alegre lo convierten en un clásico atemporal, ideal para disfrutar en grupo.

The opening to the Mario party franchise is a game I think might show a bit of age but is still an entertaining first entry. Really didn’t lean into the story yet and the gameplay feels a little basic but I suppose I can forgive that a bit for their first attempt at this franchise. Clearly already had a good overview of what would make this games tick so no wonder many consider it to be one of the best.

I don’t think the first Mario party is a zero. I would say it is a 4/10. I am rating it this low to bring down the score. This Mario party has a lot of issues. Most of the mini games are horrible and noticeably worse than other Mario party games’ mini games. This is a big issue because the mini games are the foundation of all Mario Party games. Some games make you rotate the joystick with your palm and hurt you hand. There are mini games where nobody wins or everybody wins which defeats the purpose of mini games. A lot of mini games make you lose coins. You even have to GET COINS FROM THE BOARDS AND PAY FOR MINI GAMES TO PLAY THEM IN THE MINI GAME MODE. This makes the best secondary mode, the mini game mode, awful. There is a mini game island to play all the mini games which is a little bit of fun, but most of the mini games are mediocre or lower. There are no items you can use on the boards. This makes the experience staler and less fun. The only positive I can think of is that there are a lot of boards and they are pretty good. People rate this game too high because of their nostalgia towards the N64 and specifically towards Mario Party. I grew up with the Wii and 3Ds, so I am giving this game a fair chance without the bias that makes this game seem WAY better than it actually is. This game is not a 0/10, but a 4/10 ranking without someone who grew up with the N64.

A very fun game, and the destroyer of control sticks. I think it succeeds as being one of the most streamlined and fun games in the series.

The start of a legendary series of games, and to put it lightly, this one is very mean spirited. The rules are extremely unfair and it has ruined many friendships over the years. You go around a board collecting coins, and exchange them to get stars and whoever has the most is the superstar. There is a minigame after each turn where players compete for extra coins. Its sadistic nature is what gives the game its charm, and makes it so much more rewarding when you come on top at the end! This game has a large selection of boards with a total of eight, and while they are pretty decent, they aren’t amazing. I do like how each one is based off a different character though. The minigames are definitely one of the original game’s biggest problems. There are many fun ones like Mushroom Mix-Up, Crazy Cutters and Face Lift, but of course, we have the infamous "rotating the control stick" minigames like Tug o’ War and Paddle Battle. These are some of the absolute worst minigames in the whole series, which were physically painful to play and gave many people blisters. This issue was so bad that people sued Nintendo over it and they had to issue people GLOVES! Luckily they learned their lesson for future games. And of course, we have Chance Time, which can really flip the game upside down, and bring you from first to last place in a matter of seconds! This feature really does spice things up in a good way (unless it’s against you though). Overall this is a good start to the series, and brought us such an iconic franchise. Though as of today, it’s my least favourite of the classic Mario Party games.

The game is full of charm, competition and fun, making it still one of the most fun games on the N64

I got so many blisters on my hands from this game because of that damn control stick controls. I couldn't get to the last 2 boards because of the insane grind the game makes you go through so I gave up. graphics are like welcome to 30 years. were they blindfolded when making that camera

THE best party game of all time. I have spent hundreds of hours playing this game since I was a kid and despite new versions, none compare to the original. Just watch your palms on those mini-games and make sure to steal as many coins as possible from your friends.

Going back to the late 90's. This game started a franchise that would spam the length of 4 decades with us soon getting the first MP of the 2020's. However, I feel that examining this game alone shows how lackluster it actually is in terms of content. There are no items, very minimal board mechanics, and some of the boards arent amazing. There also is a lack of strategy due to that and a lot of the game relies on luck. While the minigames were great; many of them favored a certain character in 1v3's and there was way too much coin loss in minigames. While this game is great and has a few good side modes. It isnt as great as many of our future installments.

Fun times on this game. This was awesome as a 1 player adventure against CPU’s and an awesome multiplayer party game as well. This started the whole franchise. It would be nice if Mario party’s could go back to this yet still be fresh and new. Awesome music and even voices characters, and for the time. That was magnificent thing to experience. Kudos for all those that had their palms jacked up due to spinning the control stick with it. Warriors! Lol! Definite 10 out of 10.

I bought this game expecting it to be a bear but turns out it was a **** party game with the **** wario

So much fun, until your star gets taken. In all seriousness, this is one of the best multiplayer games for N64, and I highly recommend it.

The first of them all, and still is the best! This is the game for anyone at any age to play. It's so fun by yourself but with friends, it's an legendary experience and truely is the end of friendships. 10/10

Essential game to play with colleagues. Lots of minigames to which more fun. Essential.

A solid party game, its execution is on point, but the pain-inducing, palm spinning game activities, which happen far too often, do hurt it in the long run.

First Is Always The Best The original Mario Party is fun, unintentionally friendship ending, and unique.

The starting game for Mario Party is pretty good bringing sure fun, rage, luck, and the test of skill, while all these are good things we can't deny the bad things in this game, we already know what it is, the lawsuit that Nintendo got from this game from those stick rotation games, but besides that disaster this game is still pretty good til this day!

This is really a great game, there is so much to love about it, must play for sure!

Все Mario party скучные так как предназначены для четверых человек. Но если собрать друзей то врятли станет весело. Когда четыре человека сидят и играют в игру комментируя и изредка разговаривая- это не сильно весело

Ultimate party game that kicked off everything. This game changed the game on how party games could be played as anyone can pick up the controller and win.

The first Mario Party Game introduced the series good with their new concepts, minigames and ideas. But not everything is perfect in the game such as the unfair dice that automaticly chose your number and some minigames were bad, But most of the boards have a very good soundtrack and good design. So i think Mario Party is a good game and you can have fun with your friends with it, but most of the other Mario party does it better and so it isnt the best Mario Party (My is Mario Party 2)

6 amazing boards of cool characters. Amazing new idea. And much more what this game did. This game was creative, fresh, fun, original, and phenomenal. But those rotating stick ****.

Unfortunately, Metacritic's critics only gave the first Mario Party a positive score, but gave the rest of the installments mixed scores. It means that the first will always be the best no matter what these users think.

This game is alright. A good start for the awesome series. The graphics are fine for N64. The minigames are pretty fun. The character selection is okay. The boards are great. Mario Party 1 is not the best in the series, but it is worth getting. The series started getting even better since 6.

This game is okay. There are many better games but this game is worth playing. The boards were awesome,the graphics are great for the N64 and is the same as Super Mario 64. The character selection is okay. It is your choice if you want to get it or not.

WARNING - this game breaks friendships! This is the best advice I can tell you! Prepare to play with your friends and have the best multiplayer moments of N64! This game is the meaning of fun! Playing with family or friends, the fun is guaranteed! This game is SO legendary that we're about to have the Mario Party 10! Yes, 9 sequences of this amazing game!

Completely boring as a single-player game but a hell of a lot of fun in multiplayer. I loved the gameplay that the boards added and there was some great mini-games on offer. Unfortunately there was also a few that weren't so great. Overall though a hell of a lot of fun.

I would not recommend this. The RNG in the game is all Bias towards one character. This game could destroy friendships and severe families. For your own sakes, don't buy this game.

This is the greatest game I have ever played besides Twilight Princess. Almost every single mini-game is fun and enjoyable to play. However, it is best to play with multiple people.

Mario Party is one of the multiplayer games that are fun, yet frustrating games, control wise. The first two games in the series are probably the best to my opinion, in terms of mini-games and gameplay. There is not much to say play with your friends!

Makes only multiplayer sense.

The game that started the parties fashion. The adventure mode was great and still is a good fun if you manage to play with friends (if your controllers aren't all broken).

The original and still one of the best ones. This game is awesome, I love every part of it, the newer ones have more characters, more stages, a different playing styles, but this my favorite Mario Party. Nostalgia may be playing a big role in my love for this game but it doesn't matter to me. I'll still play this game on my N64 to this day.

Mario changed the party game genre as well. With a ton of minigames to play, it is hard to get bored of this game in a few hours. The graphics and sound in the game are okay.

This game has survived for over 11 years. Just about everytime friends are over i try to get them to play this. It truly is an astonishing classic which revolutionised the board game industry. If i could show you my face when playing this i would
