Yeah 8 is fun. But I’ve also never played some of the ones he put above it.. so they might be better than 8. All I know is 1-3 are definitely the best.
@@lol-ih1tl Well I feel like the reason NB brought it up here is that it's especially apparent with Mario Party, considering the design philosophies of the games.
i'm so glad you ranked mario party ds so high because it honestly is such an underrated mario party game, i rarely hear people talk about it even though it really is a fantastic game :")
It was actually pretty funny watching Jon over at Runawayguys playing this. Mostly because I think Jon would consider DS one of the worst at what happened and how much heavier the RNG is for the game. I honestly loved it when I was younger but now I see the flaws the game has and consider some of the RNG to the level of Mario Party 9 or 10. But not as terrible as those games.
I played it in my childhot alot. And you could share it to other players without them having the game. Me and my best friend played it all night long. Really miss those times.
@@puzzledhypnoshroom1004 yes super mario party is great but...mario party 9...? Yes thats your opinion but its weird for me that some like mario party 9 10 and 11 THAT CAR THING SUCKS UP THE WHOLE STRATEGY THE ONLY ITEMS ARE DICE BLOCKS AND BOWSER IS NOT EVEN A THREAD
I would like to say Mario party 8 had some very cool special modes, the ghost mansion level is extremely fun along with koopas tycoon, and the games are some classics; shake it up, the tower climb, cut the strings, clean chain chomp and some other great games. Mario party 8 did not deserve such a bad spot on the list.
To me Mario Party 8 is the best polished from the Wii - Switch Era. I've only played 4, 8, 9, & Super mario Party so far in that order so I might be bias asf. If I had to base it on first glance off this review + xp + interest They don't exist to me = 10 & 9 + handhelds versions I won't go out of my way to buy a N64 = 1, 2, 3 Still better than 10 & 9 = Super Mario Party I'd definitely buy it to try it = 5, 6, 7, superstars Nostalgia trip = 4 & 8
Legit. Make MP8 for switch. Better graphics. Polish the boards a bit. Maybe give them a few new fields. And much more minigames. Dont need to develop a whole new game. Just remake the old games but make them better with the new technology we have (I mean graphics and minigames etc.). Maybe throw in 2 new Boards just for fun and lets go. Perfect MP in my eyes
So you play the Henry stickmin collection and also Nintendo games Ok...... :P And you play plant Vs zombie I'm triggered Also I'm subscribe you :) This is a long comment let's end it here.
And it still is! If I take my New 3DS somewhere, I’ll also take all my games with me. My BFF and I always play Mario Party DS together when I visit her.
@@legendarywiimaster MP1 is my 3rd least favorite Mario Party from 1 to 10 lol. 8 has the worst minigames (with MP1 haha) and the boards are recycled concepts from MP6s and MP7s done worse
I really loved Mario Party 9 when I was a kid. I have so many fun memories of that game. However now that I’m grown up I see all the many flaws in that game. However I still like it because of how much it made me happy as a kid.
It’s definitely one of the least flawed in the series. With that being said, as great as the minigames are, the 1v3 minigames for the most part are dogwater. Half of them are unfair for 1 side. Block and Roll is a pain if you’re the solo player
One positive I will say for Mario Party 9 is that I enjoyed the story mode. I thought it was a well-structured framing device and the boss battles they added to the regular Mario Party gameplay was able to keep it exciting. I will admit I'm a little biased since I did grow up with 9 (along with 8 and DS) and I haven't played it in a while to see if it holds up, but I remember having a lot of fun with it. Though I also remember being super impressed with the graphics which I know for a fact wouldn't be the same a decade later
I’m interested in these ranking vids because I don’t have nostalgia bias. I didn’t play these games growing up. I’ve played both for the Switch, I just played 9 for the first time with my girlfriend last night and we had such a great time! I like moving your character by themselves but the group thing wasn’t so bad fr.
Really amazing list! But I believe 8 deserves to be higher. The non linear boards are very interesting I would say. The fact that the boo board isn’t known I think is such an amazing idea. Also I think 8s unlock-able board where you steal stars instead of buy them is so awesome.
Exactly. To be open about it, I have not played every Mario Party, but of the ones I have played(3,5,6,7,8, Top 100, 9, Star Rush), it is easily and by far the most unique and enjoyable experience imo
agreeddd, 8 was so unique and creative, especially the boards like sure some might be linear but they have really interesting concepts and events (then there's boards that are non-linear AND have cool events and concepts like Koopa's Tycoon Town and the DK one) loads of extra modes that were really fun, huge character selection, i remember 8 having the unique team names too, heck even the menus are super creative. Plus the minigames were really good and had total classics like shake it up. The only thing was the controls weren't very intuitive on some of them.
My favorite boards are the king boo one and koopas tycoon town. I would play against my sister and 2 AIs in boo, and with my sister in Koopa. You always dominate in 2 player with that one. You halve the amount of hotels and give a player half. You only invest in your half (and the secret one if you get it) and it's so haywire once coins are everywhere. We boosted our hotels out of the AIs reach. So good. And we were the same 2 characters. I was birdo and she was Todette.
I loved Mario Party 8. It’s just something about that sweet Wii nostalgia Edit: Wow thanks for all the likes, The Wii was home to many party games some were good like Mario Party and others were just stupid. But they were all super to fun to play with friends and family and it’s why I’ll never forget the Wii

@Pepo Play yup, I don’t care if it’s not mechanically the best or if it was stale formula by the time it came out. I love it because of the memories I have of it, you can have your own favourite Mario Party but 7 will always be mine.
@@ThatOneDude1509 Honestly, I can't believe people are still arguing that 7 specifically is bad because "the formula got stale". Like, it's been over 15 years, and it's aged better than most of the games following it. Even then, does it really matter? At the time, it didn't matter to us. Mario Party doesn't need to change it's formula to be good, or else it's not Mario Party. I really miss those times when we just liked a game because it's enjoyable.
3 will always be the absolute best one in the series to me. Biggest reason is the way it handles items. I think there's a chance I would have liked MP2 more if it allowed players to carry three items at once. 3 just allows for so much more strategy because of this. Also, another thing I like about 3 is how, even if you don't have a skeleton key, you can walk the path that leads up to the gates, only to turn back the way you came. This allows you to force landing on a different space than you would have if you walked the other way.
Honestly MP3 doesn’t get enough credit. It’s always being overshadowed by MP2 even though I would say that MP3 is not only objectively better than MP2, but also objectively the best game in the series. It hands down had the best board and item mechanics in the entire series. You had so many different movement options like gate manipulation to land on a different space, action time which could be both detrimental but also useful to reposition to a different location, and probably my favorite thing of all in MP3 the reverse mushroom. The only game in the series that let you move in reverse. Honestly MP3 has not been topped when it came to mechanics.
I guess that's his schtick like the "Striving for Originality" - like come on, Mario Party 1 after what all he said was high, should've just gone all the way and said he won't care about bias, hehe.
When he puts Advance after star rush, you know thats pure bias. When he puts MP1 at second place, you know thats bs. Cmon we know it was the first game but it was also full of flaws (hem hem BLISTERS???)
The sad thing that 7 came out at the end of the GameCube’s lifespan in 2005, and the DS was the new thing people was into, so 7 was forgotten quicker than expected. It’s basically like Mega Man Zero 4, which came out at the end of the GBA’s lifespan, when the DS was already out. It hurts
7 is the most refined, has the best collection of maps, a great collection of mini games, and has the most content besides 8. People who rank it lower likely have never played it much because having played all of the mario partys starting with 2, I think it's arguably the objective best of the bunch nostalgia aside.
Going from Super on the Switch to 7 on the Gamecube feels like a completely different experience. The boards feel more alive, the overall game feels faster, and moving across the entire board in one roll feels amazing.
“Mario Party 6: The best GameCube Mario Party” So that explains why it’s the only one I don’t have because it’s the only one that costs over $120 consistently online!
I wasn’t digging the list until we got towards the end. Anyone who loves Mario Party 1 BECAUSE it’s brutal sees the beauty in that game. Like, if you want to end a friendship, there’s no better game to bust out lol
I'm bias with MP8 I grew up with it and I love all the maps! The mini games are very fun, the story and party mode extremely fun! And the the extra modes were a nice addition
6 seems like the objective best to me. Lots of good minigames, almost all of the boards are good, and the orb system perfected the capsules from 5 JUST right.
The DS one is the objective best. Graphics aside, it has some of the most unique and balanced mini games. Unlike some of the other mario party games, the mic minigames in mario party ds actually work super good.
@@SirScallywagger I beg to disagree. The FFA minigames are cool, but the 2v2, Duel, and Battle minigames are just okay, and basically every 1v3 is HEAVILY unbalanced towards the solo player or team of three. MP5 is great apart from the minigames, though. The boards were very cool albeit pretty basic mechanically speaking, and the capsule system is one of my favorite item systems in a Mario Party game thus far.
I started playing Mario Party DS and it is also one of my favourite I also like Mario Party Superstars it is more a remastered of the older mario parties with better graphics and Super Mario Party (Switch) is also awesome
15:47 I'd like to point something out about chance time that not a lot of people know about, it only appears after someone gets a star, and after the star space is moved, the previous star space becomes a chance time space
0:28 ok this is where i draw the line this is probably my favorite Mario party game because i have the most memories of it, granted I haven’t played every Mario game just like Wii era-today so theres not much to go off with but i love this game so much
@@BetterNicholas I actually like Mario Party 10 more than most people, but that’s really only because I’m just not as big a fan of the old formula as most people. It’s still one of the weaker ones, but I actually enjoyed it, and that’s all I really care about when it comes to Mario Party
I absolutely LOVE Mario party 7 and you’re right it’s because I did grow up with it. I also love Mario party 8 because it had some really good boards and mini games. I liked Mario party 9 but not nearly as much as 7 or 8.
I like your list! Pretty good one! This is my top list , I've played most of them but not all! Here's the ones I played ranked : 1- Mario Party 8 2- Mario Party DS 3- Mario Party 6 4- Mario Party 5 5- Mario Party 2 6- Mario Party 9 7- Super Mario Party 8- Mario Party 10 9- Mario Party Island Tour
As someone who had been drastically affected by the explosion in Nashville on Christmas Day, I am so glad to see you upload a new video, Nathaniel. Your content is helping me get through these tough times.
I mean, he said it at the beginning, everyone's favourite is the one they grew up with, while he said Mario party 4 was his first Mario party but we all know Nathaniel is biased towards the N64, and it's safe to assume he played them after Mario party 4, while I played Mario party 1 recently and I admit it, it's hilarious because of how brutal it sometimes is and then when i played super Mario party directly afterwards and me and my friend were so bored we turned it off after a few turns, but I also played other Mario party Games and out of all of them, I'd say Mario party 6 is the best one, but I personally grew up with Mario party 9 and only played 6 like 1 year ago. and in fact, I don't hate Mario party 9. So.. yeah, it's really what Nathaniel said, everyone is biased to the one they grew up with
I grew up with the n64, to the point where I distinctly remember the commercials. Still would never pick an n64 game over gamecube series, besides 5 over 2 and 3. Mario Party 1 is objectively the worst game until like maybe 9 or 10, containing ludicrously unbalanced coin collecting games, some of the most poorly designed 1 vs 3 minigames, rather uninspired stages (outside of eternal star), and of course, the infamous control stick minigames, that both destroy controllers and your hands.
@@gabthefisherman5030 As someone whose favorite is 5. You picked the objectively best Mario Party as your favorite. (I understand 5's flaws, it's still my favorite.)
as someone who grew up with mario party 10, i never understood why people hated it so much, but after getting my first taste of mario party superstars, i now know what makes mario party so fun, the tension and strategy you have to have to win is just immaculate. its like discovering a food you thought you hated but i actually loved
One thing I love about Mario party is the fact that Wario absolutely hates Mario no matter what but whenever he throws a party then he decides to be around him
Well now that you mention it, it is weird how Wario parties with Mario and Friends. I actually thought he joined the Party, because he was trying to redeem himself.
The only Mario Party games I've played ranked in my opinion: 1. Mario Party DS 2. Mario Party 8 3. Mario Party Island Tour 4. Mario Party Star Rush 5. Mario Party 9
personally 1. Mario Party Superstars 2. Mario Party 2 3. Mario Party 1 4. Mario Party DS 5. Mario Party 6 6. Mario Party 8 7. Super Mario Party 8. Mario Party Island Tour 9. Mario Party Star Rush 10. Mario Party 9 11. Mario Party 10 list almost complete lol also i still love all of them
@@az.5832 I gotta agree! My top would be very similar, Mario party 3 would be up there in the first 4 spots. I love superstars and I love the first 3 Mario Party's almost equally.

@@NathanielBandy Very true! I was born in 2006, really got into Mario in 2020, and my favorite Mario Party game is MP1. However I understand anytime you have bias, like with Mario 64. My first game was Mario Wii, and I’m very biased towards it. Also, I can’t wait till you get to a million subs! 😉
Mario Party 9 is my favorite. I grew up with it and my brothers and I would play it all the time. I also love the minigames and music, and since I grew up with it and it was my first Mario party, I enjoy the car mechanic.
About MP6’s day/night mechanic: “I’m shocked this is the only Mario Party with this system” *Stares in MP2’s Horror Land* It may not have been a mechanic on all boards but the GOAT did it first 😉
MP2 is far from the GOAT when other Mario Party games improved upon it in every way since then. Not to mention that the boards in MP2 were some of the worst in the series, Horror Land was the only great board in MP2, all of the others were just ok at best.
Honestly i prefer 3. I grow up with Mario party until 8 but 3 simply sticked out for me the most. Mario Party 2 kind of also but thats mainly it have my most hated Minigame of all Mario party.
@@smobowser99 Mecha Marathon. In all my years of playing Mario Party 2 in the n64 i never, NOT a SINGLE time have won in this Blasted game, no matter how hard i tried.

agreeddd, 8 was so unique and creative, especially the boards like sure some might be linear but they have really interesting concepts and events (then there's boards that are non-linear AND have cool events and concepts like Koopa's Tycoon Town and the DK one) loads of extra modes that were really fun, huge character selection, i remember 8 having the unique team names too, heck even the menus are super creative. Plus the minigames were really good and had total classics like shake it up. The only thing was the controls weren't very intuitive on some of them.
My favorite boards are the king boo one and koopas tycoon town. I would play against my sister and 2 AIs in boo, and with my sister in Koopa. You always dominate in 2 player with that one. You halve the amount of hotels and give a player half. You only invest in your half (and the secret one if you get it) and it's so haywire once coins are everywhere. We boosted our hotels out of the AIs reach. So good. And we were the same 2 characters. I was birdo and she was Todette.
I loved Mario Party 8. It’s just something about that sweet Wii nostalgia
Edit: Wow thanks for all the likes, The Wii was home to many party games some were good like Mario Party and others were just stupid. But they were all super to fun to play with friends and family and it’s why I’ll never forget the Wii

I’ll always personally have Mario Party 7 at the top of my list, it’s the most nostalgic for me and I use to spend hours playing it with my family
Likewise its great
@Pepo Play yup, I don’t care if it’s not mechanically the best or if it was stale formula by the time it came out. I love it because of the memories I have of it, you can have your own favourite Mario Party but 7 will always be mine.
Same dude it had the best boards and minigames imo.
@@ThatOneDude1509 Honestly, I can't believe people are still arguing that 7 specifically is bad because "the formula got stale". Like, it's been over 15 years, and it's aged better than most of the games following it. Even then, does it really matter? At the time, it didn't matter to us. Mario Party doesn't need to change it's formula to be good, or else it's not Mario Party. I really miss those times when we just liked a game because it's enjoyable.
It's the most fun with 6 tho
3 will always be the absolute best one in the series to me. Biggest reason is the way it handles items. I think there's a chance I would have liked MP2 more if it allowed players to carry three items at once. 3 just allows for so much more strategy because of this.
Also, another thing I like about 3 is how, even if you don't have a skeleton key, you can walk the path that leads up to the gates, only to turn back the way you came. This allows you to force landing on a different space than you would have if you walked the other way.
I agree. 3 followed by Mario party 2
Honestly MP3 doesn’t get enough credit. It’s always being overshadowed by MP2 even though I would say that MP3 is not only objectively better than MP2, but also objectively the best game in the series. It hands down had the best board and item mechanics in the entire series. You had so many different movement options like gate manipulation to land on a different space, action time which could be both detrimental but also useful to reposition to a different location, and probably my favorite thing of all in MP3 the reverse mushroom. The only game in the series that let you move in reverse. Honestly MP3 has not been topped when it came to mechanics.
The fact that they still haven't added 3 to NSO is ridiculous
@@dankaroosAbout that.

I guess that's his schtick like the "Striving for Originality" - like come on, Mario Party 1 after what all he said was high, should've just gone all the way and said he won't care about bias, hehe.
Literally when he puts Mario Party 1 over 3, 5, 6, and 7 I knew this was a biased video.
Don’t blame him he’s an N64 nut lmao
When he puts Advance after star rush, you know thats pure bias.

very much satisfied.. now i want to play
I grew up with 7 and I love it so much, yet I don’t see many talking about it! But the music always made me feel so happy!
Same 7 is def my favorite
The sad thing that 7 came out at the end of the GameCube’s lifespan in 2005, and the DS was the new thing people was into, so 7 was forgotten quicker than expected. It’s basically like Mega Man Zero 4, which came out at the end of the GBA’s lifespan, when the DS was already out. It hurts
It’s the best Mario party game
I grew up with 8 😎
7 is the most refined, has the best collection of maps, a great collection of mini games, and has the most content besides 8. People who rank it lower likely have never played it much because having played all of the mario partys starting with 2, I think it's arguably the objective best of the bunch nostalgia aside.
Going from Super on the Switch to 7 on the Gamecube feels like a completely different experience. The boards feel more alive, the overall game feels faster, and moving across the entire board in one roll feels amazing.
Amazing in which game? Super or game cube?
@@7Kazi7 cube
And 7 is actually the slowest game of all of the GCN games. Which is saying something of Super

6 seems like the objective best to me. Lots of good minigames, almost all of the boards are good, and the orb system perfected the capsules from 5 JUST right.
9 for me.
The DS one is the objective best. Graphics aside, it has some of the most unique and balanced mini games. Unlike some of the other mario party games, the mic minigames in mario party ds actually work super good.
@cool_ib54598 is underrated. Way better than some of the ones this guy tanked above it
I think 6 is the best one as well
Yeah 6 is the best one easy
Mario party 5 was my all time favorite. All the extra modes, introduction of capsules, the team names just loved everything about it
MP5 is still my favorite to this very day. ☝️
lots of happy vibes in that one!I guess it is one that I grew up with, but we also had the n64 ones. 2, 4 and 5 are my faves.
@@SirScallywagger I beg to disagree. The FFA minigames are cool, but the 2v2, Duel, and Battle minigames are just okay, and basically every 1v3 is HEAVILY unbalanced towards the solo player or team of three.
MP5 is great apart from the minigames, though. The boards were very cool albeit pretty basic mechanically speaking, and the capsule system is one of my favorite item systems in a Mario Party game thus far.
Did you ever play the battle in mp5 where you build cars and battle them? My brother and I used to play that all the time

Mario party 9 my time has come
I absolutely LOVE Mario party 7 and you’re right it’s because I did grow up with it. I also love Mario party 8 because it had some really good boards and mini games. I liked Mario party 9 but not nearly as much as 7 or 8.

"I played each game very thoroughly and I managed to be as unbiased as possible"
*Still puts the N64 games as the top 3*
I mean, he said it at the beginning, everyone's favourite is the one they grew up with, while he said Mario party 4 was his first Mario party but we all know Nathaniel is biased towards the N64, and it's safe to assume he played them after Mario party 4, while I played Mario party 1 recently and I admit it, it's hilarious because of how brutal it sometimes is and then when i played super Mario party directly afterwards and me and my friend were so bored we turned it off after a few turns, but I also played other Mario party Games and out of all of them, I'd say Mario party 6 is the best one, but I personally grew up with Mario party 9 and only played 6 like 1 year ago. and in fact, I don't hate Mario party 9. So.. yeah, it's really what Nathaniel said, everyone is biased to the one they grew up with
I grew up with the n64, to the point where I distinctly remember the commercials. Still would never pick an n64 game over gamecube series, besides 5 over 2 and 3. Mario Party 1 is objectively the worst game until like maybe 9 or 10, containing ludicrously unbalanced coin collecting games, some of the most poorly designed 1 vs 3 minigames, rather uninspired stages (outside of eternal star), and of course, the infamous control stick minigames, that both destroy controllers and your hands.
My all time favorite is mario party 6 and i grew up with the n64 one ..im 30
