- Party games have been STUGGLING Since Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort came out. In this video I explain my formula for a perfect party game, AND a game that I believe to be a perfect part game.

YIPPIE! KEYWORDS!
In this video I talk about party games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe booster pack 5, Mario Party Superstars, Speedrunners, Ultimate chicken horse and the Jackbox Party pack! I love games like Champed up, talking points, Tee K.O. Patently stupid, and Mad verse city. If you also like party games like Mario Party or mario kart from nintendo, this video is for you!

I just got caramelled by your website😂
Some thoughts:
- Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes might also work for these criteria.
- Games with bad downtime issues (like Super Mario Party) are great when you have friends over and also happen to have, like, a pizza on the table, so you can snack until your turn comes up.
- Heave Ho and Unrailed are two of my favourite party games that not enough people talk about. I just wanted to say that out loud.
- We are legally family, apparently. sorry.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes only doesn’t have a skill gap because everyone is bad
My issue with KTNE is that for a lot of modules you need to establish what to call certain puzzles and elements, like the icons puzzle; one person says Psi, the other says a chandelier! It's hard to establish these things with brand new players
@@Shuroii well thats kinda the point your literally describing the difficulty coming from the people rather than the game.....idk just sounds like your complaining about the part I find fun & funny
phasmophobia?
@@faland0069 what universe are you from that phasmophobia is a party game
That sleepover joke just brought on a wave of nostalgia
Facts
for reall
SAMEEE AHH
When i ask his mom she would say "only if your mom say yes". My mom : "you did your room?" -_-
Makes me miss golden eye, turok rage wars and smash 64. Good times.
I really like speedrunners but it has the same problem smash does to where when one person gets "too good" the other players aren't really allow to play the game. But when they are allowed, this game is such a blast
Totally agree. Sometimes using golden skins helps but a lot of the time it makes it impossible to avoid dying like if you start in any kind of boost
chicken horse is the same way.
If you suck at platforming games but your friends don't then you just end up not having fun with anyone
That’s why you activate stupid game modes like insta-death 👍
@@greyflow What I do when I play with my slightly worse friends is add even more handicaps in order to give them a fighting chance. It also helps to increase my skill at the things that I am allowed to use. For example, a couple of months after I started playing I was at the point where to make it fair I would only be allowed to use standard movement, so no grappling, items, or boosts in addition to using a golden character.
One answer items.
I just realized how truly amazing this channel is. Probably one of my favorites rn
And I feel the .. exact opposite.

I love the way you come up with genre guidelines that creates the perfect game and then follow through with not only great suggestions, but one that mets all the criteria. If anyone asks where all my money went, I'm going to point at my game library and then you.
I relate to that so much, when he recommended the wizRDS GAME I BOUGHT IT AND ENDED UP GRINDING THAT ROUGE lite out. (I'm not retyping that out)

Dude, I did not expect for that link to actually work! That's some awsome dedication to perfecting your video! Hats off
Yeah, and it was awesome! Me and stellarjay are now OFFICIALLY friends and he sent me 500 DOLLARS!

I was hoping for something to appear after the video finished ;(
Dude I haven't heard that song in like 15 years
lmao
I like how you make your mascot move like an actual bird. Only thing better would be to make him do a little bouce
He sometimes does a little bounce, I don't have a preset though, so its basically just whenever I remember to add it
The Ds was suprisingly good for multiplayer. All you needed was one game cartridge and DS downplay.
I wish they did that with the Switch. I have such fond memories of doing the download play mode with the twin Zelda games on that system.
the sound of the WII just hit me with so much nostalgia wtf
Loll
Where was Gang Bests?

As a developer making a party game, this was very refreshing to watch.
noice
A few nights ago I was invited to come play JackBox with a few people on my college campus. It was the most fun I’ve had playing a game ever. Tee K.O was my favorite. All the insane drawings and quote combos really had me crying laughing
My favorite thing with games like Tee K.O. and Drawful is how a group of people can develop a set of jokes and gags that just continue to get funnier as they keep getting put together in new ways. At one point in a Tee K.O. game a drawing of a lawnmower with some nonsense caption got a riotous laugh, and for the rest of the night drawings of lawnmowers kept popping up and it just never stopped being funny.
This is kind of why the nintendo DS was the golden age for party games. That download play option so many games had was amazing. Ofc you need to be local, but the amount of hours I played mario kart, mario bros and mario 64 multiplayer with my brother and sister is crazy
Skill gap absolutely matters in UCH. I first tried playing it with work colleagues and there was no contest since I play platformers regularly.
Pummel Party and Duck game are both really fun party games that me and my friends have played a bunch. Maybe worth checking out.
Outside of Party games, me and my friends have also enjoyed playing roguelites/roguelikes together a lot, like Ember Knights, 20XX and Never Split the Party.
We're always looking for more party games to play together, so any suggestions are welcome! (As long as they are not just local with no online support)
I've got over 300 hours in Duck Game and it's a game I still revisit with my friends, often, years after first playing it. For me it's THE party game.
Duck game mentioned.
Every video you release has a funnier script and better delivery than the last, you are going to be huge someday soon mark my words
Nice PFP
I've noticed a lot of people mention the skill gap issue with Ultimate Chicken Horse but modifier settings also exist, plus you can change the points settings. I make it so bizarre with my friends that even I, a pretty good player, will tend to lose matches against them. The settings are there to make it a more even playing field lol
5:55 If you think there's no skill gap in Ultimate Chicken and Horse you haven't played with non-gamers lol
Tried to play with my sister and my parents and they struggled just to run and jump at the same time.
My brother and I either had to sandbag which woukd be obvious and make the others feel bad, only be competitive with each other, or dominate completely. Was not fun.
It's casual gamers and up only
7:00 First time I'm happy I live in central because I swear to god every game developer forgets we exist and we get stuck on eastern or western servers
True that
just found this channel, and i'm having a blast. loving all your videos thus far. definitely gatekeeping newer fans when you get more popular.
I agree. I remember staying up playing a lot of these with my friends. I also remember the misery that is fucking around with Hamachi and telling myself the lag was worth the trouble. Jackbox is one of my go-to's for party games. I'm really looking forward to Dokapon Kingdom being re-released, too.
Also, I just want to say, I love your use of Nichijou and Doki Doki tunes. It's the cherry on the sundae.
I am SO glad you talked about SpeedRunners, I've been trying to get my friends to play it with me for YEARS. Even though you can't play it over for a long time, it's a ton of fun the first couple of rounds. I think it would work better if it were a minigame in a bigger party game.
The edititng, music and pacing for your format are amazing! Love all the little easter eggs.
Yo dude, just discovered this, you made me smile at least 10 times during this video, your weird crow sprite somehow works, the pace feels great and your meta humor is on point, keep it up, thank you
FUCK YOU ITS A STELLER'S JAY NOT A SHITTY GROSS UGLY FUCKING CROW
but, but… itachi had crows 🥺
👉👈
7:37
... shit im down
Counter point: the Cards Against Humanity issue. Most Jackbox games require you to perform and then be judged, which adds a lot of pressure and can alienate people. With close friends, it's not that big of an issue, but if you have a few (or even one!) Person who's weirder/edgier than everyone else, the whole party's vibe is off.
I guess we are family now Stellar Jay i would like to be a Penguin though.
Having the hornet theme opening the video along with the bird’s rants is amazing
@2:04 Me sitting in Terraria with over 5,000 hours wondering where that time went.
I'm glad to see you mentioned some games I've played (Speedrunners, Ultimate Chicken Horse) however, 1. Ultimate chicken horse is on other platforms besides the switch (so you don't need a membership to online), and 2. Skill gaps do show up there which limits the fun, and sometimes it gets beyond just shifting score down (although not always, because an underdog can make a secondary route and with a higher percentage + underdog boost, spring back up to the front).
Really fun video (also very fun of you of getting me caramell'd); loved the shoutout to Ultimate Chicken Horse and Speedrunners as those two are goated party games (though I would have also mentioned Duck Game and Boomerang Fu). I have watched videos of people Jackbox and it looks mad fun with silly enough friends, though I'd have to figure out not only how (and when) to convince my friends to try these with me; the other barrier was language as it seems that only a handful of Jackbox games are officially translated to Spanish, but it seems that most of the Jackbox Part games are translated...so it is a matter of time on when :)
Also, shoutouts to anything that can be played for free (online or not) for very obvious reasons, and also thought that you would make the fourth point before revealing it about netcode (I was guessing solely because of "The Nintendo Problem" and multiple locations mentioned looking like something leading up to netcode problems lol)
currently sitting through carameldansen, I have absolute faith that there will be something worth it on the other side of this
EDIT: Aaaaany second now
EDIT EDIT: man somebody really looked at those face proportions and thought "yeah, that looks good." Song is still a banger though
EDIT EDIT EDIT: anybody else realized that tiktok basically reinvented nightcore but with lofi and folk music

Shit, looks like I was missing out
@@hundvd_7 there’s a certain history jay… not to mention the Live channel
"I have to handicap myself harder than a twitter bio" SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN A PRIZE
Highly highly recommend rounds. My favorite 1v1 game to play, that is incredibly repayable and the skill gap can be adjusted by taking worse upgrades. It has a rouguelike upgrade system where you pick a card that effects your build every time you lose a round. So the player who's getting beaten is getting stronger and stronger. Fantastic game and I absolutely love how twitchy and good the movement is.
Yessir stellarjay never disappoints shits boutta be fire🔥🔥

Npc comment
havent seen all of the video as of right now but just to let you know-jackbox is still an amazing party game to this day
just found your channel. instantly knew you were talking about jackbox as the one game that fits all the criteria for a perfect party game AND heard about Ultimate Chicken Horse for the first time from this video. i bought it on impulse and plan to try it with some friends soon. fate has brought me here or something idk.
Bro the "you have to ask my mom" is way too relatable. That unlocked a core memory.
The fact that the friend link actually works and is not a generic rickroll makes me wish it was real even more
Another banger video, glad i found your channel ^^
Love this take, agree 100%
Good replacement for jackbox might be gartic phone, cuz it's free and people seem to get it a lot easier, also because of language barriers.
I’m sitting here trying to enjoy your video but hearing your constant banger background music choices just makes me think of what good taste you have
Just came across this absolute gem of a channel idk how you aren’t more popular
8:43 there is no way he just said no one likes quiplash
that's like objectively the best jackbox game I don't understand where he is going at with
i agree that quiplash is objectively the best jackbox game
subjectively though it sucks ass
As a Jackbox enthusiast… That also has all party packs. I saw this coming from 5s into the video.
I saw this coming just by looking at the title
Whenever me and my friends/family have a party or just playing party games in general, we *always* hit up Jackbox. We usually hit up Gartic Phone too (spawns a lot of jokes, and is easy to understand. Only major downside is if you play with one of those "I can't draw 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢" (my cousins, honestly) people even though you its playable no matter your drawing skill).
We've played games like Pico Party too but it loses its fun rather quickly since because of limited maps and the downtime of waiting for one person to do the darn task.
I was watching your wizard video today, now this drops. What a day to be alive.
Ah yes, Mario party for n64, the grandfather of party games, humble, simple, the first of its kind. You can tell because my palms have been bleeding profusely the entire time I've been typing this.
Ah Hamachi, the bane of all peer to peer relations
i agree with mario party on some capacity, the whole minigame section is randomized so you dont know if you're trying to knock off someone off a platform or spamming a button to get the best rocket. also some tiles take stars away from you making it harder than just getting to the star first. even though they take long i have never played mario party and got bored because it took too long because you're always trying to win
TY for mentioning crawl, it's goated
I love seeing speedrunners and crawl getting more attention. I love those games to death
0:27 I'd recognize Nadeko's feet anywhere
You are a sick fuck
You make me regret liking anime
Bro, this is honestly relatable on a spiritual level :D from the Hamachi setup to friends not willing to buy games for over 2$
I'm just so surprised you nailed how people play said party games so perfectly.
you know, my thought was ain't no way this man makes a whole website for a seconds long bit in 7:10 of the video... but I decided to check anyway...
first off, I am not going to spoil it, no it is not a rick roll, I am impressed but also seething with anger, and why would anyone do this much effort for 5 second bit!
I also decided to check the site with inspect element, and tbh the most hanjous of crimes is the source to the video is from fucking discord out of all places
What is it? I dont think it works anymore.
the fact that he actually made the link work is gold
what did i get out of this:
that i am legally in Stellar Jay's family
RUclips gave me a great recommendation this is a great video and a very good explanation on what Party Games are
Ballsack caught me off guard at 1:36
Ultimate chicken horse skill gaps, not really
People who have mastered the movement can make the level as hard as possible for others while still being able to finish it. Other players can make things easier but since all winners=no points they are lot more hesitant on making things easier than the good guy is on making things 10x harder. There is the comeback point bonus if you win, IF
lmao the sleepover part was like an exact quote of what I used to tell my friends all the time as a kid
Mario Kart Wii is still my favorite party game of all time the memories are amazing and it was just so fun and quick so you could play a few rounds then just move on to the next thing
Its gonna be jackbox im calling it now
Have you played Pummel Party? It is an indie version for Mario Party. Definitely needs more maps/boards but is solid
I’ve been really enjoying PlateUp, it’s like Overcooked but you can also start automating your kitchen. Randomizing maps and mods definitely made the game infinitely repayable.
@@happyplum2822 overcooked is super fun
3:00 that background is from my favorite regular show episode
Awesome video man!
But am a bit disappointed you didn't talk about sharable 3DS games!
I had plenty of fun with the Kirby minigames and with Luigi's Mantion 2 without having to make my friends buy the games.
WE ARE FAMIILY 🎶
this may not be as"video game" as something like ultimate chicken horse, but jackbox has proven itself to be a long-standing entry in the list of party games that are most commonly played with me in the homies
edit: holy shit 8:00 I called it
I do just HATE when party games require everyone to own it and they still charge 30 dollars
You brought back horrible memories of trying to work out how to make a damn server on parsec with no tutorials because steam remote play wasn't working for the 700th time
1:59 THE WAY I HOLLERED LMAOO
Hahg
TF you mean Ultimate Chicken Horse has no skill gap?
I literally have to give myself 50% points or less because if not, the match is over in 5 rounds.
I’ve been kicked off multiplayer servers for winning without giving everyone else a chance
There are a lot of board games that fit your criteria that are great party games. Juse One, Ready Set Bet, Feed the Kraken, Secret Hitler, one night werewolf, Red Dragon Inn and Incan Gold. A couple of these games could easily be played over Zoom or Tabletop Simulator with only one person owning it
As Jacob Box, CEO of Jackbox, thank you for endorsing my games. As a reward I will be giving you the win button, which does what you probably think.
one thing you didnt point out about speedrunners is that the skill ceiling is incredibly high for a party game. it kinda goes hand in hand with how you said the game isnt replayable because the game can become monotenous, but if that doesnt slow you down, you ruin the game for everyone else because you´re just innately faster than everyone else, either from experience of the map which may let you frontrun with minimal risk, or tech like tackles, fast falls, crate blocking, effective grapple use etc.
Yep. The speedrunners skill ceiling is unbelievably high. I find it more oppressive than someone being too good at smash because at least in smash everyone can team up against the biggest threat and basically frame trap them for doing anything. The items also feel like they don't minimize the skill gaps in the same way they do in something like mario kart. Most items can be avoided in most situations with enough skill and positioning imo, so there isn't really anything like a blue shell. I don't know if this is true or not so I might be wrong, but it *feels* like you have equal chances of getting any item regardless of placement. So in first you can still get the bullet bill-like invincidrill for a free win. Or you can just use map knowledge to place unavoidable traps. Still absolutely adore the game though and I'm rly glad it's being talked about here. More people should play it honestly.
8:18 CHILE MENTIONED
the longer i watched the more it felt like the ultimate party game was gonna be jackbox
And it was
Great video
I just stumbled across this channel, but I just wanted to say that it is an absolute goldmine
Modded Rounds is probably my favorite party game right now
Rounds lends itself to mods so well! It's become a favorite for me as well.
@@duckffn6495 its peak
Never thought that being Caramell Dansened would be better than being Rick Rolled
Just discovered this channel. Binge watching all the video rn. Quality vids
I think ive spent more than 4 hours trying to figure out how hamachi and parsec work
I love how 2:45 is the most replayed 💀
Bruh 😂
It's from 2:34 to 2:50 but close enough
@@gregoryderyWhat
you guys remember that mario vs luigi minigame in the DS?
well someone made a remake for PC online and up to 10 people can play
it's called, well mario vs luigi online
8:08
other games that fulfill this criteria also includes gartic phone and King of the castle
Sorry bro moms said no
it's the first time ive heard anyone else talk about speedrunners it's SO GOOD
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood music playing while you're talking about Mario Party is hilarious. Truly the philosophical question of our time.
party games will stay lit with alcohol
And drugs
Ultimate Chicken Horse absolutely has a skill gap problem. Make the level too hard for everyone but yourself. The only way for other players to stop you is to make the level impossible for everyone, but that just keeps you in the lead until the end of the game. This happened with me and the ones I tried to play the game with.
skill issue
bro you made me watch that caramell video all the way though and there wasn’t even anything at the end
7:30 bro i just got flash backs of me and the boys spending hours trying to make a hamatchi server to work with cry of fear and sven-coop
As a Texan, I tried to visit your site, and I think it is bugged. All that was there was a video of the 3 most masculine men in Sweden. Please take down this European propaganda or at least put a content warning so that people are not subjected to Europe without their consent.
"Stop re-releasing games that nobody likes"
>shows quiplash 3
Easily the worst take I've heard on this channel
Ikr
Man, spending hours setting up hamachi as a kid actually made me good at IT lol
I was waiting for him to say jackbox this entire time I love this game so much
ultimate chicken horse better
