If you find any issues then feel free to let me know and I'll correct them down below, along with giving you credit! Before you make a correction, please double check the video to see if I made any on-screen corrections myself via text on the bottom first! 0:55 - Blue orbs that are thrown away or are auto-activated actually DO count towards the orb star, despite in-game text suggesting otherwise! This also means that the amount of "used" orbs in a game can be higher than 19. I remember testing this myself but it seems like I wasn't thorough enough! ( Santy) 13:54 - I say "these 8 are green orbs" despite showing 7; this was because the Cursed Mushroom was originally in the group, but I ended up removing it without correcting the audio. (Kinja427) 23:00 - Stats are shown for the Super Shroom when I'm talking about the Sluggish 'Shroom; my eyes played tricks on me. (Bdog 1092) 1:01:36 - These bee happenings simply take away one to five coins from a player when landed upon. Guess the effect was so minor that I forgot to mention it haha (Henke37) 1:10:47 - Each set of orbs launch cost is depending on what place one is in (Nervix709) Here's a table for it created by localnekonia6830! 1st place 10 coins for 1 30 coins for 2 60 coins for 3 100 coins for 4 150 coins for 5 2nd place 10 coins for 1 25 coins for 2 50 coins for 3 80 coins for 4 120 coins for 5 3rd place 10 coins for 1 20 coins for 2 40 coins for 3 60 coins for 4 90 coins for 5 4th place 10 coins for 1 15 coins for 2 30 coins for 3 40 coins for 4 60 coins for 5
36:44 The Thomp's face when hitting someone with a Metal Mushroom is hilarious. Something I never noticed before, either! I love that attention to detail
Fun fact that isn't mentioned in the video but is pretty cool nonetheless: The nighttime variant of "What Goes Up..." actually has a different name than its daytime counterpart. In the kiosk demo for Mario Party 6, the day and night versions are two separate minigames, and the night version is (fittingly) renamed to "Must Come Down!" I don't know why this is a thing, but it's a neat little detail that often gets overlooked.
@@SonicmaniaVideos Yeah, the "Must Come Down" name was ONLY used for the kiosk demo of Mario Party 6 (where "What Goes Up" has its' day and night versions available to play as separately selected minigames). In-game, "Must Come Down" is never used as all minigames, day-or-night and regardless of rule set, keep only one name.
That makes sense, since in the daytime mode you have to get as high as possible, but the opposite is true in nighttime mode. Shame it didn’t make it into the actual game
The fact that the Sluggish Shroom, an item where you can basically land anywhere you want, favors the winning players more in Faire Square specifically is a perfect metaphor for the rich getting richer LOL
The fact that SimpleFlips’ strategy in the latter half of Faire Square was to get a Sluggish Shroom from an Orb Space for Chance Time… in fourth. It’s even FUNNIER now knowing he was extremely fucked and sabotaging himself
@@KopperNeoman the rich get richer under capitalism due to being in a position that allows them to exploit and extort the working class, not because they know how to get rich. faire square giving more and better resources to the winning players is an accurate representation of how capitalism operates and doesn't resemble socialism in the slightest.
I've always found it hilarious how Boo, who literally weighs absolutely nothing, causes the platforms on Clockwork Castle to fall, yet thicc bois DK and Bowser somehow don't.
Another thing to note about faire square and stressing how important the thwomp or zap orb are for placing around the star area is that uncontested, a player can walk away with 10 - 15 stars max in ONE turn. All the player needs is to activate a super shroom near the star space and get somewhere between 25 - 30, purchase the stars at night (preferably when they're worth 5 coins), and keep going the route with whomp. If the stars align perfectly for you and you have around 95 coins, you can gain an absurd lead over everyone to the point where only chance time can can stop you.
It's no coincidence that this is by far your longest video to date and my favourite Mario Party game at the same time. The strategic nuances presented in this title are simply on another level from the others and that's what makes it so good in my book. That is due to the day-night-mechanic omnipresent in the game, be it on the boards or within minigames, the completely perfected item system, as well as the sheer variety of boards, featuring only 2 out of 6 boards which operate on a traditional star system, making each of them very unique.
There are so many comments on this one and I doubt anyone will really see mine - everyone else has said all of the important things by now, but I'm just going to say that you're an absolute goddamned legend for including the other end of the Identifying Luck: Mario Party Advance gag in this video. This joke was over two years in the making anD ITS EVEN FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME
Also, the New Super Mario Bros. World 2 Zikedown video has a time travel gag in the World 2-2 section that leads to the Cashapult section of this video. Bet ya' didn't see that one, eh?
Two things I like about E. Gadd's Garage when looking at the background details. One the Teleporters tell you where they go. (the arrows.) Two, there is a physical map on the board that also shows the star location.
I can't believe you made this video without mentioning the most important new aspects: the new taunts. "Hey, stinky!" and "you're lousy!" deserved their own time in the spotlight.
37:25 I think the Bob-omb has its benefits, because there’s a chance that the remaining roll might cause the victim to land on an undesired space. Also, at 45:00, I’d actually recommend placing the Orb close to the start. During one of my games, I had 2-3 Klepto Orbs near the beginning of the board, and the other players just kept having terrible luck of landing on it and being sent back like they were in Monopoly jail.
The Bob-omb Orb actually does have an advantage over the Twomp Orb: it increases the odds of landing on bad spaces. If there's a place with several bad spaces in a row, placing a Bob-omb Orb right in front of them is a good idea. You may even use math to your advantage. Let's say your opponent is 7 to 8 spaces away from a bad space. Placing the orb on the 6th space means that if they roll a 10, they land on the 8th, while a 9 or 8 becomes a 7. If they roll lower, they still have a higher chance of landing on those bad spaces on their next turn. So not only does the Bob-omb Orb slow down opponents, but it also makes them more likely to land where you want them to.
Also, it could cause them to land on a bad Happening space or Bowser space, or a yellow orb! Thwomp can't do this because he can only be placed on Red and Blue spaces.
Legit this is one of my favorite series on RUclips. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of time spent researching, recording, and editing that was done for this. And this has a very high production value with all the charts and relevant footage. I’m honestly blown away by it.
I love your Identifying Luck: Mario Party series so, so much. This installment is no exception! Thanks for all the time, effort, and clear love and passion you put into these videos.
Fun fact not mentioned in Body Builder: If the RNG is kind to you and you get all 4 pieces to be the same color, the robot does a unique animation! Each robot color has its own special animation. Don't count on seeing it all that often however, as the luck pans out to a 1/81 chance
I can’t tell you how much I love the series. This is my go to whenever I recommend some sort of documentary or long-form video content. Cant wait for the final (?) one!
3:45:21 For those in the know, this next part is known as the TRG method, which was popularized when the collab channel TheRunawayGuys accidentally found this out and abused the hell out of it during their play through of Mario Party 6.
Thank you for 5 hours of Mario party analysis. me and my brother never played most of these boards and just played the mini games over and over so seeing the rest of the game is fun
Regarding the Bob-omb orb, I can see a use for it that you can't use the thwomp for. You could in theory use it to increase the chance that an opponent lands on your piranha plant space or something, and loses half their coins.
For Throw Me a Bone, in my experience the cursor will always move starting in the direction it was last moving in. Also worth noting you can bank-shot the bones off the pillars for greater distance, but doing so in such a way that you don't hit any pillars is rarely very feasible.
This is my all time favorite series first of all, but when I looked at the time stamp I literally smiled ear to ear. Haven’t watched it yet but looking forward, I know a ton of effort must have been put into making this!
ZoomZike uploading a 5 hour video of obscure and interesting tips and facts about a game where the Sun and Moon go into a everlasting argument? That's more rare than seeing a shooting star up close and personal y'all.
Waiting for the sixth installment of this series was absolutely well worth the wait, love the effort and research you've done for the entire series thus far!
What a beast of a video. And the best part is that from now on all the Mario Parties that are left are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. MP7 because it's my fav, MP8 because I grew up with it and MP9 and 10 because it's gonna be hilarious hearing you rip them apart for 4 hours each
3:10:56 WAIT IS THAT ROSALINA IN MARIO PARTY 6- Yet again another winner of a video! Only complaint is that it isn't six hours long, but at this point trying to keep up with the number in the title is unrealistic. Definitely can agree how pretty nighttime versions of minigames look, especially Treasure Trawlers. Also one advantage Netplay has over in-person play is the usage of codes so abusing Star Spawn locations and (*shudder*) having to play Goomba Wrangler isn't an issue.
In 2006 I got this game as a Christmas gift from a relative with the Mic included and for the next 10 years, I would have an absolute blast playing this game with friends and by myself. This and Melee were the two games I'd go to when I had nothing better to do. I knew there were other Mario Party games but I didn't much care because this one was so good and I'm so happy to see that a bunch of people agree it's the best Mario Party. This video was 5 hours long but to me it didn't even feel like half of that. Upon first seeing this video I watched the first 2 hours without realizing it and finished it up over the next day. Just about every single thing you identified in this video has not only given me new light to be better at this game, but made me love this game even more. I'm a new fan that's always looked at the videos but never really watched them due to not owning the other games but now, I'm excited to watch the rest of these and can't wait to see the one for 7!
For the orb machine in E.Gadd's Garage, the prices actually become cheaper depending on your placement. If your in last, I think having 5 being placed equals 75-90 coins.
I was just thinking to myself a couple days ago "You know, I haven't seen ZoomZike in awhile! Wonder what he's up to!" And to see this pop into my feed was incredibly exciting! Definitely worth the wait, espcially since 6 was the Mario Party that I personally grew up with! I was 9 when the game came out, and I had managed to completely miss Mario Party up to that point so this was the first one I got to play and I LOVED it. Can't wait to learn the secrets to cheesing it!
I wanna give this tip for the traditional boards here: for things like paratroopa that may backfire later down the line, throw them on star spaces, so that way they'll eventually be deleted.
Great video as always ZoomZike. It really feels like throughout the last few months you turned it around after working on this for so long and pushed through to get it finished which paid off!
4:14:53 I had this moment from way back in 2017 in the early time I played Brutal Mario Party 6 and it was hilarious. What happened was the AI managed to semi-softlock themselves for an entire minute because they were jumping on their teammates head. It was short lived, but a classic moment I still remember. I've never been able to replicate it though.
ZoomZike, I really enjoy these videos. It’s pretty impressive how you go over each game of the Mario Party games. From the boards, to the items and the mini games, you do a great job with these videos. Keep up the good work.
Everyone! Reunite, stop the fire, we are gonna witness sheer beauty once again. We waited months, expecting, it finally arrived and it is gonna be GLORIOUS! Joking aside thanks for this zoomzike this videos are melted gold
@@zoomzike Aw man, I was looking forward to my childhood ones, 8 and DS. :( But fair. If they all end up being several hour colossuses like this one is, I think it's fine to want it to end eventually. Even the last ones got to be 1 to 2 hours long, and this one speaks for itself. '^^
This video is such an accomplishment! I would definitely say it's the best video on your channel. The enthusiasm, energy and creativity expressed is very great, and It's such a pleasure to watch even from an entertainment point of view!
Gotta love those code words for Verbal Assault. "'Subscribe' does nothing, 'To' activates Goombas, 'Zoom' activates Missiles, and 'Zike' activates Missles again."
very glad this found its way into my recommended! - took like 2 weeks and three viewing sessions to finish it but very glad i did, love this series to death and especially 6 (i'll admit i prefer 3 just a bit more so it also made me happy to hear you mention it). it's cool to have everything about the game laid out in so much detail. learned a ton, feel oddly validated to hear some strategies my friends and i have found "optimal" over time directly shared here, and am kinda amazed by just how much there is to it all. will definitely be rewatching this, and referring to any given section when i need it :)
Treasure Trawlers will actually let you complete an input regardless if the timer ran out slightly before said input was initiated. This means that a lot of the time this minigame is literally decided at the last second and hitting the A button at the last second is a very good idea if you think you have good positioning or even if you don't
I love how the trap orbs both here and in 7 do the little activation flourish as you pass over the space _before_ them! Such a subtle nice touch to add to the "oh crap" factor!
Omg that was so much, I loved almost every second of it. I'm honestly just really glad you didn't forget to put the timetravel portions in the video. All that lead up felt worth it to me now. Now I really want to do something with mario party 6 to apply these strats.
This surprisingly isn’t the longest in depth analysis video about a video game on RUclips! I remember watching a 7 hour gen 3 Pokémon video a couple years ago. But this is still really amazing!! Like I don’t even want to know how many hundreds of hours it most have taken to me this video. Keep up this amazing work because I don’t think there are many people out there that would be willing to do this type of stuff! You are really amazing!!!
YEEEEES! Mario Party is a series that will always bring a smile to my face. Such good childhood memories and it's so nice to See that There are people who enjoy the series just as much as I do.
And with Mario Party 6 done, you're halfway through. Only 6 other entries to go (Oh boy): Mario Party 7 (2005, Gamecube) Mario Party 8 (Wii, 2007) Mario Party 9 (Wii, 2012) Mario Party 10 (Wii U, 2015) Super Mario Party (Switch, 2018) Mario Party Superstar.(Switch, 2021) Best of luck, buddy, you're a madman for putting yourself through this hell.
@@thelordofchaos6470 there was only one DS mario party game, the standalone MPDS, where they all get shrunk. MP7 is about a world cruise or something I thought.
I know many would hate Faire Square for the star mechanics on it, but, in my opinion, that makes it one of the most chaotic boards in the series. If multiple players can get to the Star Space when it costs 5 coins, there could be literally 50 stars in play, which makes Chance Time all the more insane.
2:08:10 the bells are a pinch at this junction if you have 5 spaces remaining. Regardless of which direction you go, you are guaranteed to hit one of the two happening spaces unless there is a trap in your way which can only be a bomb. It's pretty evil if DK is there.
My favourite series to fall asleep too! I’m so excited to watch this AT LEAST 15 times! All the effort you put into these vids is outstanding! You’re the best 🙏❤️
I can’t believe im 2 days late but omg I’m so happy to see this come back!! 💙💙 I’ll genuinely put these on when I just need something in the background and love them so much. I love your narrations, it’s actually so chill!!
I don't know what I loved more, the humor, the thoroughness, the multiple time travels, there's so much here. It's all incredible and informative. I shall be sharing this as much as I can.
A nice bit of extra info about the snack(bone) orb is that it doesn't stop the chain chomp from stealing your star. It makes the Chomp skip your space instead. Because it doesn't touch the space you're on, it can not steal. So if you are sharing the space with someone else, and their snack orb activities, the Chomp will jump over both of you, and both you and the other player stars will not be stolen. It's even possible that all 3 of the players are sharing the same spot, and one of their snack orbs activities. Making a rare 3 star steal into a wasted Chain Chomp.
Finally I had time to finish watching the video it was amazing fun to watch as always I am so hyped for the next part and hope you find a good editor to help you thanks for the nice work again :)
I feel the opposite about fair square. I think due to that gimmick it’s more of a fan favorite since there’s tons of possiblity for a comeback and due to how unpredictable it can be it’s the most replayable

I love your Identifying Luck: Mario Party series so, so much. This installment is no exception! Thanks for all the time, effort, and clear love and passion you put into these videos.
Nothing like my life going extremely downhill then I literally burst into tears when I saw this. This truly made my day.
i hope it'll get better for you :)
In the same boat. We'll get through this, King.
I appreciate the mutual enthusiasm for Mario Party videos, but get it together, man!
god i feel this so fucking hard
Currently in a rough spot myself and began watching these to help
The loop around all the way back to the Mario Party Advance video is the type of lore I live for. And thus the Wacky Watch arc is finally complete.
Never thought I'd see the day of a 5 HOUR video about Mario Party without it being about a 50-turn game of the game itself.
Fun fact not mentioned in Body Builder: If the RNG is kind to you and you get all 4 pieces to be the same color, the robot does a unique animation! Each robot color has its own special animation. Don't count on seeing it all that often however, as the luck pans out to a 1/81 chance
I can’t tell you how much I love the series. This is my go to whenever I recommend some sort of documentary or long-form video content. Cant wait for the final (?) one!
"If you are good at the duel minigames, who cares about how much you bet."
You might get a luck minigame, which you can’t control.
I said what I said
Just have more skillful luck, easy

This is easily my favorite Mario Party game. I’ve been waiting for this day and I’m so happy it’s finally here
3:45:21 For those in the know, this next part is known as the TRG method, which was popularized when the collab channel TheRunawayGuys accidentally found this out and abused the hell out of it during their play through of Mario Party 6.
The Coin Star being gone is sadder than anything else the Mario series could kick up.
Thank you for 5 hours of Mario party analysis. me and my brother never played most of these boards and just played the mini games over and over so seeing the rest of the game is fun
I'm always glad to make these, thank you so much!
Regarding the Bob-omb orb, I can see a use for it that you can't use the thwomp for. You could in theory use it to increase the chance that an opponent lands on your piranha plant space or something, and loses half their coins.
For Throw Me a Bone, in my experience the cursor will always move starting in the direction it was last moving in. Also worth noting you can bank-shot the bones off the pillars for greater distance, but doing so in such a way that you don't hit any pillars is rarely very feasible.
This is my all time favorite series first of all, but when I looked at the time stamp I literally smiled ear to ear. Haven’t watched it yet but looking forward, I know a ton of effort must have been put into making this!
ZoomZike uploading a 5 hour video of obscure and interesting tips and facts about a game where the Sun and Moon go into a everlasting argument?
That's more rare than seeing a shooting star up close and personal y'all.
The sixth chapter of an amazing series made by Zoomzike, Identifying Luck: for Mario party 6!
Nobody tell him about the advance video
@@Meese12 hey, at least the timelines converge in this video
mario party sounds like the most skillfull game imaginable in the way you explained it.
Waiting for the sixth installment of this series was absolutely well worth the wait, love the effort and research you've done for the entire series thus far!
I get perfect serotonin every time I hear you shout "MMMMMAARIO PARTY!"
He says it with such genuine joy and excitement :^)
The quality of this channel cannot be dismissed. Seriously, I appreciate the effort and work you put into this.
I can't believe you did all of this without an editor! It's so clean-looking! Fantastic work!
What a beast of a video. And the best part is that from now on all the Mario Parties that are left are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. MP7 because it's my fav, MP8 because I grew up with it and MP9 and 10 because it's gonna be hilarious hearing you rip them apart for 4 hours each
Love this series even if I haven't played this game in 10 years
Thank you so much!!
We’re back to the madness that is Mario Party! So glad I can finally binge this one!
I have never been more excited to see a video in my feed than seeing those magical words, “Identifying Luck: Mario Party 6”. Awesome job as always.
It's here at last! Can't imagine the sheer amount of work that goes into these videos, but they've all been fantastic!
3:10:56 WAIT IS THAT ROSALINA IN MARIO PARTY 6-
Yet again another winner of a video! Only complaint is that it isn't six hours long, but at this point trying to keep up with the number in the title is unrealistic. Definitely can agree how pretty nighttime versions of minigames look, especially Treasure Trawlers. Also one advantage Netplay has over in-person play is the usage of codes so abusing Star Spawn locations and (*shudder*) having to play Goomba Wrangler isn't an issue.
I can't believe it. It's been a long journey, but it's nice to finally see it happen. Good job zike
In 2006 I got this game as a Christmas gift from a relative with the Mic included and for the next 10 years, I would have an absolute blast playing this game with friends and by myself. This and Melee were the two games I'd go to when I had nothing better to do. I knew there were other Mario Party games but I didn't much care because this one was so good and I'm so happy to see that a bunch of people agree it's the best Mario Party. This video was 5 hours long but to me it didn't even feel like half of that. Upon first seeing this video I watched the first 2 hours without realizing it and finished it up over the next day. Just about every single thing you identified in this video has not only given me new light to be better at this game, but made me love this game even more. I'm a new fan that's always looked at the videos but never really watched them due to not owning the other games but now, I'm excited to watch the rest of these and can't wait to see the one for 7!
Can you believe how expensive this game is on Amazon?
It is worth a whopping $124.68! That's outrageous.
For the orb machine in E.Gadd's Garage, the prices actually become cheaper depending on your placement. If your in last, I think having 5 being placed equals 75-90 coins.
I was just thinking to myself a couple days ago "You know, I haven't seen ZoomZike in awhile! Wonder what he's up to!" And to see this pop into my feed was incredibly exciting! Definitely worth the wait, espcially since 6 was the Mario Party that I personally grew up with! I was 9 when the game came out, and I had managed to completely miss Mario Party up to that point so this was the first one I got to play and I LOVED it. Can't wait to learn the secrets to cheesing it!
5 Hours?!?! No wonder this took so long to get out lol, but this is gonna be amazing!
I wanna give this tip for the traditional boards here: for things like paratroopa that may backfire later down the line, throw them on star spaces, so that way they'll eventually be deleted.
Great video as always ZoomZike.
It really feels like throughout the last few months you turned it around after working on this for so long and pushed through to get it finished which paid off!
Been waiting years for my favorite mario party to be covered! What a treat!
4:14:53 I had this moment from way back in 2017 in the early time I played Brutal Mario Party 6 and it was hilarious. What happened was the AI managed to semi-softlock themselves for an entire minute because they were jumping on their teammates head. It was short lived, but a classic moment I still remember. I've never been able to replicate it though.
ZoomZike, I really enjoy these videos. It’s pretty impressive how you go over each game of the Mario Party games. From the boards, to the items and the mini games, you do a great job with these videos. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on finishing this absolute behemoth! I think it’s safe to say that we are all proud of you for this accomplishment! 💜
Everyone! Reunite, stop the fire, we are gonna witness sheer beauty once again. We waited months, expecting, it finally arrived and it is gonna be GLORIOUS! Joking aside thanks for this zoomzike this videos are melted gold
This gonna be good, since it was several months in the making.
(Also, small question, will MPDS be covered in this series?)
I'm currently only planning to do up to Mario Party 7; I'll see how I feel after that
@@zoomzike Aight, best of luck to the planned final entry of this series, it's been really good so far.
@@zoomzike Aw man, I was looking forward to my childhood ones, 8 and DS. :(
But fair. If they all end up being several hour colossuses like this one is, I think it's fine to want it to end eventually. Even the last ones got to be 1 to 2 hours long, and this one speaks for itself. '^^
@@extremmefan7305 Yeah, those are my childhood mario parties too. 8 is definitely... not the prettiest, but I had a lot of fun with it.
@@zoomzike Please do MP8 so we can respect Hammer Bro.
A 5 hour in-depth video about one of my favorites games? I'm falling asleep to this forever. Thank you.
This video is such an accomplishment! I would definitely say it's the best video on your channel. The enthusiasm, energy and creativity expressed is very great, and It's such a pleasure to watch even from an entertainment point of view!
Gotta love those code words for Verbal Assault. "'Subscribe' does nothing, 'To' activates Goombas, 'Zoom' activates Missiles, and 'Zike' activates Missles again."
*HELL YEAH!!!*
*I love watching literal hour long videos of Mario Party games that i've never played!!!!*
Genuinely incredible videos tho, keep it up!
very glad this found its way into my recommended! - took like 2 weeks and three viewing sessions to finish it but very glad i did, love this series to death and especially 6 (i'll admit i prefer 3 just a bit more so it also made me happy to hear you mention it). it's cool to have everything about the game laid out in so much detail. learned a ton, feel oddly validated to hear some strategies my friends and i have found "optimal" over time directly shared here, and am kinda amazed by just how much there is to it all. will definitely be rewatching this, and referring to any given section when i need it :)
Treasure Trawlers will actually let you complete an input regardless if the timer ran out slightly before said input was initiated. This means that a lot of the time this minigame is literally decided at the last second and hitting the A button at the last second is a very good idea if you think you have good positioning or even if you don't
I love how the trap orbs both here and in 7 do the little activation flourish as you pass over the space _before_ them! Such a subtle nice touch to add to the "oh crap" factor!
Omg that was so much, I loved almost every second of it. I'm honestly just really glad you didn't forget to put the timetravel portions in the video. All that lead up felt worth it to me now. Now I really want to do something with mario party 6 to apply these strats.
This surprisingly isn’t the longest in depth analysis video about a video game on RUclips! I remember watching a 7 hour gen 3 Pokémon video a couple years ago. But this is still really amazing!! Like I don’t even want to know how many hundreds of hours it most have taken to me this video. Keep up this amazing work because I don’t think there are many people out there that would be willing to do this type of stuff! You are really amazing!!!
Not about a single videogame but there's also a nearly 9 hour analysis of the entire Bomberman series, I love that videos like this exist!
There's the 12 hour analysis of Oblivion and 8 hour analysis of Morrowind, both done by the same person
@@CelticClown23 summer salt?
YEEEEES!
Mario Party is a series that will always bring a smile to my face. Such good childhood memories and it's so nice to See that There are people who enjoy the series just as much as I do.
And with Mario Party 6 done, you're halfway through. Only 6 other entries to go (Oh boy):
Mario Party 7 (2005, Gamecube)
Mario Party 8 (Wii, 2007)
Mario Party 9 (Wii, 2012)
Mario Party 10 (Wii U, 2015)
Super Mario Party (Switch, 2018)
Mario Party Superstar.(Switch, 2021)
Best of luck, buddy, you're a madman for putting yourself through this hell.
Mario party ds as well!
@@thelordofchaos6470 there was only one DS mario party game, the standalone MPDS, where they all get shrunk. MP7 is about a world cruise or something I thought.
@@CurlyChop We don't talk about Mario Party DS here.
I know many would hate Faire Square for the star mechanics on it, but, in my opinion, that makes it one of the most chaotic boards in the series. If multiple players can get to the Star Space when it costs 5 coins, there could be literally 50 stars in play, which makes Chance Time all the more insane.
2:08:10 the bells are a pinch at this junction if you have 5 spaces remaining. Regardless of which direction you go, you are guaranteed to hit one of the two happening spaces unless there is a trap in your way which can only be a bomb. It's pretty evil if DK is there.
My favourite series to fall asleep too! I’m so excited to watch this AT LEAST 15 times! All the effort you put into these vids is outstanding! You’re the best 🙏❤️
Each Identifying Luck video just gets more unhinged. ZoomZike villain origin story. Happy for them
I can’t believe im 2 days late but omg I’m so happy to see this come back!! 💙💙 I’ll genuinely put these on when I just need something in the background and love them so much. I love your narrations, it’s actually so chill!!
This is the kind of thing I need after getting in trouble with HR while not actually doing anything wrong. Thank you Zike for producing this!!
Ah, yes. The joy of zoomzike injecting 5 hours of logic directly into my brain.
Also absolutely agree that 3 and 6 are the best mario parties around.
agreed
You have been the inspiration for me planning a idea called Mario Party:Minecraft Edition. Thanks for that.
The big ass grin I had on my face during the control Schtick segment, I was looking forward to it the whole vid
ZOOM LITERALLY A WEEK AGO I PLAYED MARIO PARTY 6 WITH THE BOYS AND GOT SAD THAT THIS DIDNT EXIST YET I’M CRYING
This is gonna be worth the wait, excited to watch!
I don't know what I loved more, the humor, the thoroughness, the multiple time travels, there's so much here. It's all incredible and informative. I shall be sharing this as much as I can.
I just realized the minigames are explained in alphabetical order haha, I’m glad this version of IL finally came.
A nice bit of extra info about the snack(bone) orb is that it doesn't stop the chain chomp from stealing your star.
It makes the Chomp skip your space instead. Because it doesn't touch the space you're on, it can not steal.
So if you are sharing the space with someone else, and their snack orb activities, the Chomp will jump over both of you, and both you and the other player stars will not be stolen.
It's even possible that all 3 of the players are sharing the same spot, and one of their snack orbs activities. Making a rare 3 star steal into a wasted Chain Chomp.
I fell asleep to this playlist and woke up to this video. There’s still more to watch…
I am genuinely happy that this series continues
And just when the world needed him the most, he returned.
Thanks!
Hey man! Really appreciate it!
@@zoomzike Of course, I appreciate the entertainment and hard work! :)
Finally I had time to finish watching the video it was amazing fun to watch as always I am so hyped for the next part and hope you find a good editor to help you thanks for the nice work again :)
Gotta love how nintendo invented a game where children repeatedly scream "Fire!" I'm sure that never resulted in any panicked parents
When some RUclipsrs make 25 minute long videos they often remake on how long the video is. ZoomZike is not some RUclipsrs.
I haven't gone from 0-100% hype for a video while scrolling through RUclips in a while, so thanks for that, amazing vid
Zoomzike and Summoning Salt in the same 7 days….life is good
I feel the opposite about fair square. I think due to that gimmick it’s more of a fan favorite since there’s tons of possiblity for a comeback and due to how unpredictable it can be it’s the most replayable
