Any "broken" timestamps are intentional so RUclips's chapter system doesn't count them.
CORRECTIONS:
I'm bound to make a few mistakes with a video of this much length. If you find any issues then feel free to let me know (with the timestamp if able!) and I'll correct them down below, along with giving you credit! Please make sure there isn't already a text correction on-screen before you submit one!
22:53 - "also orbs in mp7 can give 1-5 coins, not 2-10." (MrToadTheGamer)
56:47 - "you said the Pink Boo takes 20 coins if a Star isn’t present. Well, it’s more like a range of coins around 20. It doesn’t specify 20 on the orb description. I’ve seen it take 14, I’ve seen it take 28. And it happened when the player’s max coins were higher than what was stolen. It’s weird. It’s kinda like a modernized take on Boo ranges from the previous games. I don’t know the exact range off the top of my head though." (smackjack78)
1:07:55 - "I wouldn’t call this a correction, but it’s worth noting the Magic Orb can be used to completely guarantee you won’t land on an odd numbered space. While other movement orbs reduce the chance of landing on a given space, the magic orb is a way to make sure you won’t land on an odd-numbered Bowser space, or a particularly nasty Character space 7 or 9 spaces away." (lordbreadbug414)
1:16:25 - "In grand canal, there are 9 star spaces, not 8. The 8 you did show were correct, but there is one more star space located near the top. It's on the blue space in between the DK space and the duel space" (usmankakar183)
1:33:38 - "Okay I've run 950 total tests at this point with varying placements/coin amounts and I can almost assuredly say that the Bottle Rocket on Pagoda Peak has a 75% likelihood of taking you up the mountain regardless of circumstance" - (Gallaxee) [This guy showed me his stats; he's serious haha]
2:10:33 - "the steals a star event in neon can take from second, but rare" (typhloquil)
2:41:25 - "When showing the star spots on Bowsers board, there is an extra one you forgot to mark down which is on the left Island on the blue space right before the junction but after the happening space which takes you on the roller coaster." (just-intime9988)
THANK YOU!!!! 😁😁
pretty sure DK spaces give you single players more often when you’re in lower placements, not 50/50. I’ve never seen 4th place get a multiplayer. 1st can get a single player but it’s very rare.
@@MrToadTheGamer yeah also the lower place you’re in the higher chance of getting a star(1st place can never get a star). Bowser is a similar thing where the lower your placement the higher chance of a multiplayer.
also orbs in mp7 can give 1-5 coins, not 2-10
maybe it's just my luck, but i think that battles are a lot rarer in this game than in 6. i rarely see them in 7 compared to in 6 where you're likely to get 1 or 2 per match.
With this, I can finally say that Identifying Luck has been my favorite film series of the past decade or two
I am heavily invested in the Identifying Luck Cinematic Universe
For the longest time, I thought nothing could rival my love for the 4.5hr masterpiece that is Lawrence of Arabia. Then Zoomzike posted Wario's HONKADONK and going into that hole led me to Identifying Luck.
He confirmed he will cover MP8 at the end of the video though, so the series isn't over yet.
@@Kevelinu DS isn't confirmed, but if enough love gets to it, he might, who knows, if RNGesus likes us enough he might even do the Mario Party renaissance games (Super and Superstars)
@@beowolf9480 if he doesnt we get identifing luck 9 10 and the 4 3ds games for the next 6 years
For thousands of years, I have laid dormant. Who dares to disturb my-- Oh, hey, a new episode of Identifying Luck? Sweet.
BTW we found 3 more Androids.
@@RondoOfBloodX Three whole androids, huh? Pretty sure that makes eight. Hm, never going to let the boy live this one down...
@@LloydTheZephyrian
Well, if it ain't the prince! I'd tip mah hat t'ya, BUT I LOST IT!
@@goldenhydreigon4727 Look, I'm a little late to the game here. What's your deal?
@@LloydTheZephyrianyou are hilarious, and i will quote everything you say
1:21:55
The fact that the Shy Guy says "Go, plebian! Amuse us!" for this ridiculously difficult, high stakes happening space where you have to play the best Mario Party of your life to secure that star really adds an extra layer of sublime beauty to it.
Gotta say- having watched this series since it started years ago, seeing Mario Party 8 be confirmed is one of the hypest RUclips moments I've seen in a while.
Yep, especially when it's your favorite installment
Yep, plus it's conformend that it will drop this month.
@@martonandrasszalanics.478 THIS MONTH??? okay i got excited
That’s how I felt when I knew Mario party 6 was the next one coming up! Hope you enjoy his video on 8, seeing him breakdown 6, which has always been my personal favourite and the one I’m most nostalgic for (one of the first games I ever got), was a great experience and gave me many entertaining nights watching the whole thing.
The dedication that this guy has to Mario Party is insane
Turns out, "ZoomZike" and "dedication" mean the exact same thing
Heeeey if it isn't the coolest paper mario partner ever!
He should play with the Party Crashers
I can't blame him, it's a good game!
honestly it's less like dedication, more like fixation. i would know because i think i might be the one zoomzike fan who has spent more time watching and rewatching identifying luck than he's spent on making the series.
it's my comfort series, like how my girlfriend puts on high school musical or legally blonde whenever she had a rough day at work.
I'm like that but with long video essays about games I don't play (like this, king k's zelda retrospectives, hbomberguy's ode to speedrunning and 500 dark souls videos), and when it's 2AM and I can't find something satisfying on youtube to scratch the itch, you know gerbiez is always streaming when nobody else is (the world record holder for most mario party 1 speedrun categories, just an all around great guy, highly recommend his twitch if you'd like to see some high quality mp1 gameplay)
My theory regarding the dud duels: they made that a possible outcome solely as an afterthought after realizing that all duel minigames in this entry are primarily based on skill. As such, as a sort of bandage solution to the "skill issue" dilemma they made it so that the better player can still potentially get nothing out of it, as a reprieve to that one goober who just keeps losing.
Solid theory!
That makes enough sense to be believable. We all know Nintendo isn't above punishing someone for being talented.
I’m almost certain this is it, tbh. As much as we like it to be mostly skill based because it’s fun that way, it’s definitely good to keep in mind that Mario Party is fundamentally a family party game and thus is aimed at families, a grouping that will naturally include people of completely disparate skill levels, whether it be older siblings vs younger, parents not being good at games, etc.
Nintendo balances their party games with the intention that there is a solid chance any player can win by including elements, major or minor, of randomness, even if much like Smash, it leads to decisions less casual players hate. After all, the majority of their audience will always be casuals, or just the unskilled, to some extent.
I think people really need to internalize that more, because it feels like some people don’t understand why chance even exists in a party game like Smash.
😂🎉😢😮😅😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ohhhh I bet you're right.
And I bet the dude who suggested the idea is named like... _Brian_ or something.
Frickin' Brian and his stupid goober ideas, who even hired that guy anyway?
A side note on the Egg Orb: A CPU Yoshi or Birdo will never use the orb if they find it from an Orb Space, and they will never purchase it from a shop.
It can hilariously lead to them completely locking themselves out of using orbs, it's great
I wonder why?
Could be that they lay eggs on a regular basis
@@henryapplebottom7231 Could just be them trying to give each CPU a sort of "character".
I've seen a Birdo use one on Windmillville before but ok
Mario Party 7 has always been my absolute favorite as a kid! So hype to finally have the full course movie of it! Love these videos and the effort put into them!
YOOOOOOOOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'll make sure to store it safely in my coin bank! Appreciate it!!
@@zoomzike "actually puts it in the Casino Bank like a boss"
Also, #HAMMERBROSWEEP.
Same here, its extremely nostalgic for me~

THE IDENTIFYING LUCK SAGA IS NOT ONLY BACK, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT LEAVING US ANYTIME SOON, *LET'S GOOOOOO!*
Mario Party 8 CONFIRMED!
The series is over according to the preview for the series, plus Mario went through all the title screens.
@@DawnLynnCat 5:24:59
Wonder if that will be the true finale of the series, or if he will end up doing Mario Party DS as well - which is the real last hurrah of the traditional Mario Party gameplay (as well as of Hudson Soft itself).
I sure hope DS is included, in my opinion it rivals many of the first 8 numbered mario parties
I am sure this will be the best Identifying Luck: Mario Party 7 yet
how did you do that omg
I think it requires channel membership
Yeah because it's the only video titled Identifying Luck: Mario Party 7 lol
@@Soul_King77 this is reupload of older video with same name
lol
My first ever Mario Party. My childhood will finally be revisited. Can’t wait to watch this on my home theatre screen later!
Also, thank goodness this series will continue! Can’t wait to see you cover recklessly driving Koopa Troopa’s in what might be the best board in the franchise, and to hear you explain the controls for Shake It Up haha
Bet King of Skill watches these videos. There's no other explanation for how he's so good at Mario Party.
Agreed, the talent that he has in Mario Party is abnormal
Considering he's been playing Mario Party with his mom since he was a kid, a good chunk of these videos could be information he's retained from all that experience under his belt 🤔
It all makes sense now
This is the one I’ve been waiting for the most. Mario Party 7 was the Mario Party I have the most nostalgia for, and I think it’s pretty underrated.
I agree. Maybe I'm biased because it's the one I grew up with; I didn't grow up with the other GameCube Mario Parties, just this one. But this is my favorite Mario Party.
I actually don't hate Bowser Time like most people seem to. I find it hilarious. Bowser's dialogue in this game is especially very well-written and hilarious (especially for the "freelance photography" event and the Bowser Shop event). I love the randomness of the Koopa Kids, especially if you get 10 spaces on the board. I love the Bowser multiplayer minigames and how stupidly high the stakes are. Bowser is what makes this game so incredible to me, IMO.
The dedication this guy has to Mario Party is much more than most players but still well within the realm of sanity
Are ya sure about that?
@@henryapplebottom7231_looks at the rant about duds_
he’s fine
Your editing at 2:16:55 was flawless. I literally had do a double take. It looks like Bowser put a dark star in the chest then immediately put a normal star in it.
the whole GC era is finally done, incredible work
What a piece of art he did
Holy crap! Can't wait to relax for 5 hours listening about Mario party! LETS GOOOO
You have no idea how excited I am for Mario Party 8 explained. It's the one I grew up with, and I love it to death.
you're gay
and also he wont, 1-7 and not further
It's so underrated tbh, I know people are put off by the motion controls but it had so many awesome boards and minigames that didn't require motion controls.
In 2025 lol.
Despite the quality of the Mario Party series going downhill after 6, the quality of this series only continues to get better and the factors of luck only gets better with each one.
So exited for 8! Haven't watched the actual video yet since I haven't finished 6 yet. Thought it was weird for it to be excluded since it follows the standard Mario party formula of 1-7 and isn't handheld like DS. This does make me curious on if Superstars may be covered one day though
I am sad to say, I skipped to the end specifically to see if he would cover further Mario Party games.
I am however happy to say he will.
ZoomZike. Thank you so much for this series. You really opened so many peoples eyes to the older Mario Party games, and being someone who has always loved them, seeing the amount of people who have gained interest in them because of these videos is really groundbreaking.
Watching the first video years ago, I didn’t really understand, but I feel like I’ve sorta grown with this series you’ve made. It’s been something I’ve liked to wind down to for so long now, and I’m sure it will be for many years to come.
I will continue to support you ZoomZike. Thanks so much for everything!
This is my favourite type of videos in this channel simply for the fact you've been making these for almost 5 years already. I dont even play mario party, it's just fun hearing you talk about the game from the inside.
OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!! Thank you Zoom Zike!
Just finished the episode, and WOW! I've been playing this specific Mario Party for over a decade, and I still managed to learn things I haven't before! I love Identifying Luck so much, and I was screaming when I got the notification. Cheers to such an awesome series!🎉
THE KING HAS RETURNED AS SOON AS I STARTED MY MARIO PARTY BINGE, THIS IS AMAZING
Yo ZoomZike, I love your Identifying Luck series, but one of the most underrated aspects of it has to be the intros you make for each one, it is so good and I love how it's all connected. You think once you finish this series you'll release a video of all the intros that flow into one another?
This is some of the best and highest quality content to be found on RUclips. There aren't really any other 5+ hour videos that are so well scripted and entertaining throughout and feature no offscript rants.
oh hell yes. ive been waiting for this one. easily one of my favorite mario parties, right behind 3. and what a meaty length youve given us. i will enjoy and take in every second, ty zoom.
The joy I felt when I saw this is unreal. I just wanna say thank you for making these videos. Not only are they really informative, but also super chill and relaxing to watch. Thank you so much for making my days better
now that you mention it, it is kinda insane that someone can make the act of _literally describing Mario Party 7, The Unabridged Version_ as exciting as he managed to make it lol. That takes serious talent! And there's some seriously good strategies in here imo :)
I found your channel just over a year ago and watched your Mario Party videos whilst studying for my exams. Fell in love with the rest of your channel and stuck around for the ride. I’m about to graduate on Monday and this is the perfect sendoff 💙 Thank you ZoomZike!!
the way I literally yelled to my wife in the other room when I woke up and saw this dropped. thank you zoomzike, you're amazing!!!! so happy you're doing mario party 8 too, I have an unreasonable amount of nostalgia and love for it despite Knowing it's where the series definitely started to slide downhill. really excited to see how it actually works compared to my memories!
The final episode is finally here! This has been an incredible series of videos and I have loved every single one of them. You pour so much effort into your content and I can't wait to see what great new things you will do, now that Identifying Luck has been concluded ❤
Spoiler Alert:
More Identifying Luck.
@@boomerangthrower3961I saw! I'm very happy he's continuing the series, at least for one more entry.
Thanks for all of these in depth analyses. Always a treat!
Thank you for doing MP8 in this series. It's my favorite because it was the first one I ever played.
I love you. This video singlehandedly makes me happy, as there's an in-depth analysis of the one Mario Party I have a backstory with. Kudos to you to all the work you've put in this series.
It's a shame that this series is coming to a close. I would adore a breakdown of Mario Party DS!
Psst... Wait till the very end...
@@cowserthekhelinace 👀
Oh dude I’ve been waiting for this one for so long! Your video on Mario party six is actually what inspired me to get the game for my dad and I. I’ve been enjoying it incredibly since then, and I was hoping to get this one as well! I know that this video will be a wonderful insight into the game and everything there is to know about it, as well as a wonderful listen! Thank you for all the amazing work that went into this video!
My favorite chaos is 50 turn neon heights, with a no replacing orb space house rule
I just finished the entirety of the video!
Absolutely amazing job, that was worth the wait
I never knew MP7 was so similar yet so different from MP6, that's really cool
I'm so hyped for MP8 by the way, thank you so much for deciding to continue the series
LET'S GO BABY! Here's to Mario Party 8 somewhere down the road. This is by far my favorite video game series, super stoked that you've decided to keep the Party rolling!
Thanks ZoomZike for all your Identifying Luck videos. Not only have you introduced me to the wonders of Mario Party but you have helped me take the victory on multiple occasions. This video is a masterpiece and I'm sure when I've finished it, it will be very informative.
Let’s gooo! Time to enjoy this piece and all other indentifying Luck again. Great work!
YES! The wait was definitely worth it! I love the Identifying Luck series cause even if I don’t get a chance to play these Mario Party games again, it still provides info to those who do. I appreciate the dedication and work that goes into these videos, thanks for making this series and giving me something long and fun to watch!
Man you have no idea how long I've waiting for this one! Mario Party 7 is my favorite in the entire series (entirely because it was my childhood one). This video is going to simultaneously be a massive nostalgia trip, and going to be the basis for my MP7 related takeover
Yoooo!!! Congrats on finishing all of the 7 mainline Mario Parties ZoomZike! Plan to set my evening aside to fully watch this and gain even more knowledge to crush my friends and family.
About Mathmortician: There's Blue Torches on each row's sides that light up, then go back out that signify when a Boo emerges from that direction. It's helpful for pre-emptively getting the Boo and thus helps prevent many Boos being passed up. Especially helpful with the Mic on since it takes a moment to recognize what is being said.
Found this channel/series when this video came out, and I've been having too much fun with the ILMP series. Love the contrast of the voice of despair alongside the game's fun music (Slot of Stupendousness is a highlight). Very well made videos, lots of effort, both informative and entertaining.
Hey, for MP8, there’s a semi-consistent way to time the roulette (for this instance, we’ll use the 5, 10, 20 coins wheel for this)
5 coins space: throw the dart ASAP
10 coins space, as soon as the wheel starts spinning, move your arm up without holding a + b, then swing it back down and hold down a and b as you do
20 coins space, as soon as the wheel starts spinning, move your arm up and down without holding a + b, the swing it back up and hold down a & b as you do
Even better, throw the dart when what you want is in the 9 O'clock position, always worked for me
@@hyperfairy7779 Same here (on the 9 O'Clock thing). Works with any dart wheel in the game.
I can’t believe it’s been 4 and 1/2 years since your first Identifying Luck where I gave you a reminder that DK Jungle isn’t the only level in the entire series with two Boo’s. We’ve come so far and for the record I’ve learned so much from these, can’t wait for the next one!
I absolutely love this video. I love the Identifying Luck series so much. Thank you so much. The GameCube Mario Parties are my favorites, and MP7 is my #1 of all time.
I haven't finished the video yet (I've watched the orb section, but not the main boards) - but I wanted to add one note about the Warp Pipe Orbs on Pagoda Peak. There are times when the Brutal CPU will unwittingly place a Warp Pipe Orb on one of the first 3 spaces. I don't get why they're not programmed against doing that, but whatever - there have been occasions when I'm at the top of the board and used it to my advantage, rolling high (preferably with a mushroom, and only if I have enough coins for it to work) so that I can purchase 2 stars in one turn. There have also been occasions where I intentionally put one on those spaces to try to help out someone I was playing against (especially common if I'm babysitting and I want a little kid I'm playing with to win).
Then there are also times when I'll purposely troll an adult I'm playing with, placing one near the start so that a player who doesn't have enough coins to afford any stars will make it to the top, get sent back down, and get transported back to the top, just to get told off twice in one turn. I love doing that :)
ZoomZike, incredible video as always! Truly, it was very insightful and gave me a new way to think about each board in a new way.
Can't wait for Indentifying Luck in Mario Party 8 either, as it's my favourite game in the series!
Man I love this series, I really appreciate you making them since they take so long to make! Hope to see Mario Party DS soon!
After watching TRG do a full playthrough of MPDS, the amount of RNG shenanigans in that game is INSANE. They have hidden blocks that can STEAL your stars!
A very welcome surprise to see this released! I think my biggest gripe with MP7 is just how long the games take. Nearly everything but red and blue spaces trigger some kind of minigame. DK and Bowser in particular now *always* start a minigame. Along with the mic and duel spaces there are just so many minigames each turn. Toadsworth's dialogue gets really repetitive each time too. He even makes a big show of landing on mic spaces when the mic is off.
IT IS HERE!!! YES, this always feels like christmas everytime there is a new episode!
Mario party is a series that has such an great inpact on my life. I played these games to death as a kid.
Thanks for your work dude!!
Awesome! I've been waiting for this one and it's definitely been worth the wait.
This was absolutely worth the wait, and the fact that the Mario Party I grew up on (8!!) will be getting coverage melted my heart, keep up the great work!
PS. Hope to see DS and -e too!
This is my favourite Mario Party game! While I really hope you can make videos for 8 and DS too, this will be a great finale to Identifying Luck if you don't. Can't wait to watch this monster!
Thanks for all your work on these videos. Fun to see a little behind the curtains of these games. Can't wait to see more
I remember playing Mario Party 7 around the time it came out. I even remember seeing the commercial of guys in costumes for Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser. I can’t believe how much much effort you put into analyzing Mario Party 1-7. From the boards to the bonus stars of each game. You did not disappoint at all with this video series.
Honestly, Each Mario Party having thier own "the only title that has Blank" makes each game more unique
An analysis on my first Mario Party game?! Yes, please! Been waiting for this!
I have been around since ILMP2, this series has been with me through so much. I just love this kind of passion project.
Thank you ZoomZike.
I have been waiting for this for YEARS! My favorite Mario Party game, my very first one, now under Zoomzike's command!
That was 5 hours of super nerdy but super fun info! Can't wait for Mario Party 8!
Y’know I was about ZoomZike the other and was wondering how how he was doing and then on this day July 13, 2023 he drops the biggest “identifying luck bomb” on us for Mario Party 7! Thank you so much for this and welcome back King! 👑
This has been a great journey ZoomZike, I've watched all of your Identifying Luck in Mario Party videos over the years to help me get a slight edge when playing Mario Party Netplay. Your strategies have helped me plenty of times, especially when playing mind games with skilled players. Even when I'm just playing casually with my friends they accuse me of cheating at times because of all the little things I've learned over the years. Glad to see you decided to do MP8, that one has some of my favorite boards in the entire series and I can't wait to see how I can do better.
Actually thank you so much for continuing because I grew up with Mario party 8 & 9 so I’m really excited to watch those videos! Keep up the great work!
So happy to see my fave Mario Party get covered! I'm curious if Mario Party 8 will get covered later though.
Now I know what I am doing for 5 hours today, thanks ZoomZike! You are the best!
let's gooooooooooo i've been waiting for one of these :p I like listening to these as if it were a podcast while I play other games, you just got a really nice voice for these types of things :p
I was on vacation when this dropped and I’m now so excited to binge this. This series is one of my go to for videos to download via RUclips premium for long road trips and now I’m adding this to the collection
I have a soft spot for Mario Party 8. I'm very happy to see that you changed your mind about covering it!
These videos are literally King of Skill's brain when playing Mario Party!
KEEP up the great work ZoomZike!
Forever and ever one of my favorite RUclips series, these videos have helped me so much while playing Mario Party. You're great, ZoomZike!
Was waiting for this!! Well done
The Hopscotch Happening in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno is yet another happening space that is significantly easier in 8-player, tag team mode than in normal mode because it allows you to have 2 chances to nab that star. This allows you to use trial and error on one pair, which might increase the odds to as much as 1/4
32:12 Seven Identifying Luck videos, but not once has he talked about a critical part about the Mushroom or any multi-block item. *The probability bell curve.*
When rolling a single block the odds of getting a specific roll is the same for every number: 10% Each of the ten numbers is equally likely to happen.
But when you use the Mushroom and roll two dice blocks, the number 11 will occur more often than any other.
Why? Because with two dice blocks there are ten different ways to get that number. 1-10, 2-9, 3-8, 4-7, 5-6, 6-5, 7-4, 8-3, 9-2, and 10-1.
Compare that to, lets use the number 4. Only 1-3, 2-2, and 3-1 can make 4. Three combinations.
When using the Mushroom, look 11 spaces ahead. That is the most likely space to be landed on, at 10% odds. For each space higher and lower than 11, that space is 1% less likely to be landed on. This means rolling a 20 only happens 1% of the time.
For that reason if number higher than 11 is desired, a Magic Orb is better than the Mushroom, as it doubles a single dice block, keeping the equal 10% odds for all outcomes.
Oh. The Super Shroom's most common odds are an equal chance of a 16 or 17, at 7.5%.
this series is so fantastic! glad another entry is out :)
I have been long awaiting this one, mario party 7 was my first mario party game and while it was extremely interesting learning the previous titles I cannot wait to have my favorite mario party game fully deconstructed and broken down! Thank you zoomzike for your craft.
I actually really like having the randomized bonus stars. I think it adds a lot of strategy having to aim to be best in a lot of things. Plus, having coin star AND minigame star oftentimes just gave the game to whoever won the most minigames. I mean, I get that playing the game the best means you probably should win, but Mario Party is all about drama. Just being guaranteed victory without any competition is lame.
I really hope you'll be able to start a new series of viral videos after finishing this one, you've got a peak narrator voice
I was waiting for you to start posting about Mario Party :D Love the work you put into the series.
This is a blast to the past. I remember playing this game and even using some of this logic hahaha! Thank you for all your hard word and dedication in making this massive nostalgia blast. Time to dig up my copy!
Zoom, my friend, my boy, my honey. I have been waiting so long for this. I couldn't be happier. I am so proud of your hard work.
Yay! Im getting prepared for the plethora of Mario Party 7 Streams that will follow the video
I have waited all year for this. And it was worth the wait. Extremely excited for the livestreams after this!
OOOO IM SO EXCITED FOR THE VIDEO OF MP8!! This video was incredible as well! Keep doing what you're doing!
3:04:51 This fun run technique is commonly referred to as "edging"
4:03:40 personal checkpoint
Well now I can't edit it because it's been hearted, so I have to just say in a reply when I'm done lol
Edit: completed in 2 days! Can't wait to see future installments, maybe even 9 and 10? I get that they're the bad ones, but 9 was still my first mario party game and I'd love to see its luck identified.
YES im so excited, thank you for this series of videos. I watch these so much while drawing and hopefully I can destroy people at mario party as well now
Zoomzike, thank you for making these. You have put so much time and effort into them and I appreciate that!
These have been amazing and I'm so excited to see more! Thank you!
Just want to say thank you for making this series Zike, it's no doubt takes an insane amount of effort to make each one. You have created a video-form wiki of competitive Mario Party strategy which is both an invaluable resource and an insane undertaking, and as someone who has watched all of the Identifying Lucks it's been an amazing ride.
Now we need someone to splice all the intro animations for each identifying luck episode in one shot.
This was the first ever Mario Party I ever played, and to this day I still think it's the best. I've been excited for this ever since the series started and it's finally here. Thank you so much for this amazing content.
Yes another one! Been waiting for this. Can't wait to watch this. This is my favorite series!
This is my favorite GameCube Mario Party!
At long last, Mario Party 7, one of my favorites in the series, can't wait to watch this again and again.😁
Finished!! This was Worth the 5+ hours watching. Over a year waiting was worth it. Great job my man. And thanks!!
Is it just me, or did ZoomZike forget about the complete insanity of the actual star spaces in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno! ?
