[edit] innovation

may i suggest that something be added to the articel stating that unlike other games which are blamed for being formulaic like madden, Mario Party tends to provide more reason to own more than one version of the game (i.e. new boards, the frequent change up of features from game to game). in fact, my favoirite mario party game is mario party 3 and i remember people saying that 2 was better.

[edit] Picture

That looks like a picture of Mario Party 3 to me. —Casey J. Morris 03:30, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Disregard. I'm mistaken. —Casey J. Morris 03:31, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

You know, I remember when the game first came out. I saw a picture of it in an ad, with the caption "Mario Party 3." (because of the die) I said to myself, "Pfft. Yeah. Like that'll ever happen." Guess I'm not psychic. CrossEyed7 22:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rotation controversy

I've been rotating the joystick just like how the article describes it, and it does cause blisters. Dashwarts 00:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I thought that section of the article was vandalism at first. I'd imagine rotating the stick like that would wear it out quickly.Some guy 05:54, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Oddly enough, I remember when this happened to me. I was younger and it did leave a substantial blister. -Domovoi 18:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

regardless of whether or not blisters are caused, this really did happen. Playwrite 13:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

The article was a real mess, but I went through and tried to clean it up some. Description of the gameplay was sort of scattered around in the introduction, with no apparent logic. The tense was all over the place as well, and there was a dumb section at the end about the new features this brought to the Mario Pario series. I fixed those problems and went into a few basics about gameplay, but I haven't played the original in so long I can't remember many specifics, so somebody else should look into that more. Some guy 05:54, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Further Cleaning done

Made some major changes to the gameplay section, and got rid of the embarasssing comment on Wario ("who the game is hopelessly rigged against") Also minor enough changes to other sections, just rewording to make it sound more professional. I put down the prices for minigames in the minigame house though I'm not 100% sure, if anyone could correct/confirm that'd be great. Things that still need to be done:

Descriptions of boards: This seemed like a good idea: Do we need a description of what each board entails, it's distinguishing features etc. Descriptions of minigames: As it stands some have descriptions and some don't. Either we write descriptions for the rest of we get rid of the descriptions altogether.

[edit] Even more Cleaning Done

I replaced the word whilst with while to make it easier to understand and I removed the phrase about the Mega Man Collection since it seemed to have a point of view.

[edit] Possibility of good/featured article status

What do you think is the possibility of getting this article up to good or featured status? I've done a lot of work on it and would like to see it there. I'm probably gonna apply in a while, but first what do you think still needs to be done?Qeee1 10:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Quite a bit of cleanup, but it could be done.Jgamekeeper 07:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rigged against Wario?

So apparently the game is no longer "hopelessly rigged against [Wario]". It is still, however, just plain "rigged" against him. Is this vandalism, or am I just utterly oblivious to some sorta vindictive easter egg that makes Wario get bad rolls, or something? 85.65.116.80 17:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I say we remove it. I've noticed nothing against him and there aren't any sources stating otherwise. Jgamekeeper 06:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I was the one who first removed it, but it's since been added again. I thought it was a joke, as I have never noticed anything to say the game was rigged against Wario. 159.134.255.50 16:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Is it done? When I played MP, Wario almost always on. I might've even said that "The game was rigged so that Wario would win everytime". But, of course, no.

[edit] Grammar and Spelling Cleanup

When I read this, it didn't come across as that messy. However, I cleaned it up a bit, because I'm a bit of a grammar nut (chuckle). So now it should be looking great. If you'd like to, you can look it over and tell me if there's anything I missed...

By the way, I didn't correct any real information on the page, just the wording and such is all.

[edit] Mario Party Advance comment

"It should be noted that some Mario Party games still receive critical acclaim. The GBA version of Mario Party was awarded with a decent rating, as well as a "Game of the Month" award on IGN.com."

This sentence is misleading. Really, IGN gave the game 6.0, which isn't really all that great, and they commented that it was a pretty weak game of the month. I'm removing that sentence. The Legend of Miyamoto 16:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
