The 12 Struggles Of Playing Mario Party

I spent endless hours of my childhood playing this game and shed gallons of tears

1. Deciding which version to play.

Mario party 2 on Nintendo 64 is by far the best one ever made but generally any Mario Party on Nintendo 64 will do.

2. Choosing a character.

One of the most important parts of this game is choosing the right character. When someone steals your favorite character, just refuse to play unless they pick someone else.

Side note: Yoshi has the best outfits in Mario Party 2.

3. Getting a low number on the first dice and having to go last.

This is a crucial aspect of the game and if you end up going last you have your work cut out for you.

4. When someone finds a star in a hidden block.

I just can't.

5. Getting screwed in Chance Time and losing all your stars.

6. THIS MINI GAME.

My advice is just go with your gut or choose your characters color. But in the end you'll probably choose wrong and hear that countdown and throw your controller.

7. Landing on Bowser.

Bad news is you'll probably lose 20 coins or have some other treachery forced upon you. But on the bright side, maybe you'll get Bowser's 20,000 coin present and he'll run away.

8. Never winning any mini games.

If you're bad at mini games just give up now and find another game to play.
