Just as a heads up: this game used the Dreamcast VMU screen to display your hand of cards. This is lost on emulation and makes the game kinda make no sense in terms of landing on specific spaces. The game is a lot more playable on original hardware.
I love the how distinction between playable and good is a necessity when talking about this game, it's a nice change of pace from how we usually talk about games

The game has built in card display on the actual screen if no VMUs are detected. Problem is they have it set to emulate VMUs (without displaying their screen, thus useless) so the game doesn't divert to the no VMU mode.

Credit where credit is due there are some neat concepts in this game like the map changing based on events, and the quest lines but its bogged down by the fact it's Sonic Shuffle
Fun fact, there’s about 80 different items in this game. I also unironically enjoy lots of these mini games. Just wait till 4th dimension space, that map is wild. You all will suffer when the croc attack accident happens, I can not stress that enough
Y’all should play Dokapon Kingdom. If there’s a party game that’s more frustrating and hard to understand, it’s that one. But yeah let Vern try Sonic Shuffle first, that’ll be funny
I wouldn't say Dokapon is hard to understand, more "actively hides how some things work, resulting in what amounts to a knowledge check meta". But I'd want Vern play that with Party Crashers, for maximum suffering
My prediction if Party Crashers play this. Brent get mad from how the game makes no sense, but catches up in the end. Nic wins by pure "skill" Vernias would get so confuse and say what 5 time per turn, but enjoy playing as Chao Sophist would hate it because he woupdn't know how to screw the others over.
I see... basically Amy is equivalent to Peach, Tails is Yoshi, Knuckles with Luigi, and Sonic as Mario. And you just said earlier that nobody wants to play as Sonic, which i have seen the similar case with Mario, for being the main characters
It's gets worse. It gets worse. Just wait till you put the AI on hardemode. It get beautiful Edit: put all the air on hard and just watch the chaos. Bring vern and everyone in. It will be beautiful hell.
I love the 1990 ninja turtles, I watched it in 2009 as a 7 years old on my moms vcr, I had the first two on vhs and I watched them so much and I still sing go ninja go to this day. I’m 20 now and I still sing it.
Without something to let you see the cards? Ooof... that is *completely* chaotic, then. Not sure how you'd substitute for the fact that you can't really use VMUs in emulation, but I imagine there's some mods out there for it? Used to play a bunch of this game, and it always felt like you had *more* movement control than Mario Party, but this way gives so much LESS, lol. Definitely still entertaining to see, but, like, it's also not nearly as much of a fever dream when you can see the cards. Or... okay, it's definitely still a fever dream, but there's a BIT of agency, what with deciding between using your own cards or gambling on someone else's (often to try and limit their own options, or some such). Honestly, it has more interesting board play than Mario Party, in my experience, but the minigames can be so hilariously jank by comparison, and also there's a *tier list*, because of character-specific spaces and such, so it's just all over the place in general. Genuinely would be way past cool to see more of this, with visible cards, though! This video's already been hilarious.
Just wait till croc attack on nature zone 😂. I’ve beaten the game on my Dreamcast and I swear croc attack is impossible It held me there for 3 straight hours having to redo nature zone

@@jlyn608 You're welcome lass. And in my humble opinion, I think Shuffle is better than 1/4 of the Mario Party series. It's a lot more strategic than some other party games. Shuffle is a low A Tier to medium B Tier Sonic game the way I see it.
@@kevinkong64 Well, certainly better than MP 1, 9, 10, minigame collections (which don't count), and Super (unbearably slow; terrible economy), as well as probably 5 (orb mechanics were a mess before 6). It's certainly not perfect, and the VMU mechanics bewilder most who try to play it in current year without any prior knowledge, but... the point of games like Mario Party is that they're still worth revisiting old versions of even when "better" sequels exist. So, Sonic Shuffle doesn't need to be *better.* Just *entertaining*, in a way that doesn't feel redundant. And that it most certainly does! Plus, it gets bonus points for at least *trying* to add story to a genre that traditionally lacks such--- surreal fever dream fanfic that it may be, lol.
Alternate title: Mario Party but it’s Sonic 06 Why did this video come out two days after I dreamed about you and the Party Crashers hosting a Pokémon Mario Party tournament in my city? I didn’t even know about this game…
GUYS, you have to play this on official hardware, or play single player. I'm not about to try and convince you the game is good (I personally enjoy it), but you are LITERALLY missing a crucial component: The cards in your hand are shown to you on the Dreamcast VMU memory cards...in multiplayer. The entire point is that you get to CHOOSE a card from your hand to land on exactly the space you intend to. So if you know you need that bubble space, for example, and it's 4 spaces away, you can pick a 4 if you have one. If you don't, it shows you how many have been used, so you can decide if taking another player's card in hopes for a 4 is worth the risk. Likewise, you can plan another soace to land on with the cards you DO have. There's actually very little luck based moments in this game, the few that are truly luck based are the "pick one of 3" events.
Lol! Every time I see someone playing this now, I can’t not think of the “the Carbuncle ate itself” moment when the GameGrumps played it, showing how weird this game can get.
Lol! You beat me too that! I had heard about this game before when a group called HellFireComms played it for a charity marathon, but for some reason had forgotten about it until GameGrumps played it again. Probably because the first time didn’t have a “carbuncle ate itself” moment, iirc.
I remember watching a RUclipsr that really liked this game and after seeing proper gameplay of it, I have come to the conclusion that they are either insane, a masochist, or suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Fun Fact: the original Mario Party developers worked on this game. They also owned the rights to some of the minigames, which allowed them to get away with reskinning them as Sonic ones. Why this ended up worse than Mario titles, I have no idea.
Just want to say whichever one of the sidequest members bought the setup for this game officially..I did the same thing for six hundred Memory cards controllers and all Can't wait to have a fun time playing a hilariously bad game later this May
Maybe it's my biases (I'm one of the few people who not only liked Shuffle, but want it to get a sequel and/or remake), but I've seen worse party games out there. Rugrats Scavenger Hunt for the Nintendo 64 was one of them. It had only three boards, only four playable characters, and NO minigames whatsoever. I know the N64 had limitations, but the first three Mario Party games were on the same console and they did everything better. That being said, if Sonic Shuffle does get a sequel or remake, I feel it could use the same gameplay, but improved AI (less likely to steal your best cards), new playable characters, and enemies and worlds more in line with the Sonic franchise.
As someone who has played Sonic Shuffle before, this is probably one of the worst party games I've played. Easy to notice this game was rushed to get on time for holiday 2000 (online mode was planned but scrapped last minute)
If I be honest, this game is a little bit fun in solo mode and story mode because you get to see your deck of cards, but multiplayer is worse, which it shouldn't be, but it is.
This is truly the best worst Mario Party clone to exist. I feel like the developers were locked in solitary so they couldn't communicate with each other, and they just programmed in whatever the heck they wanted. At least they improved somewhat with Sonic and the Secret Ring's party mode
Basically Sega contacted Hudson Soft for assistance on Sonic Shuffle, since Hudson was busy making Mario Parties for 7 YEARS STRAIGHT. So I'm not sure what happened.
Please play more of this in the future. Especially with Vern, I think he'd get a kick out of the nonsense in this game. The next board firebird is a certified classic of a trainwreck, this was the most boring board to witness true chaos lol.
