I've found that Smash Bros does just as good a job at destroying all those.

One thing I notice with Mario Party is the longer I play it the more I hate. I'll always be so excited in the beginning then by the end I'll be praying for it to hurry up.

It's a real shame, the original MP had some amazing games like Runing of the Bulb and Grab Bag(seriously, it sucked ass in MP2). On top of that I can't really name a single genuinely awful board as each one had some sort of ridiculous shenanigans players can pull. Boo wasn't overpowered, hidden blocks didn't drop stars, and minigame losers were actually punished for losing.

its referring to the stigmata phenomenon. a man bursts into the room proclaiming to be christ with the stigmata on his hands as proof. one mini game of mario party 1 required you to furiously rotate the control stick, something accomplished easily (and painfully) by placing your palm on the top of the stick and moving your hand in a circular fashion. this resulted in the infamous 'mario party blisters'.

so you put two and two together, the man's hands are damaged and he's claiming that he's jesus, but they know it's just due to mario party abuse.

either that OR it's meant to be the real jesus but nobody believes him because, due to mario party's existence, damage to the palms is commonplace.

4 is awful. The boards are bland and uninspired, and the characters move slow as fuck. In fact everything's slow.

Exactly. Mario Party 6 was the climax of Mario Party for me. It just had everything, the music was booming, the minigames were fun as hell, the whole game just felt "alive" to be honest.

Clockwork Castle was fun as all hell too.

Mario Party 7 was kind of an upgrade in some ways, and a downgrade in others. It was alright though.
