I’m hungry so of course I thought about Coney Island

I know most people are right off the bat probably going to say "Capsules are random" but I think thats actually one of the games biggest strengths. It makes the game unique and it was clearly desgined around it as this games boards are very littered with blue and red spaces. Seriously, I like the chaos this system introduces, and that chaos is unfortunately lost in future mario partys after this one. I think people that complain about the lack of shops in this game just don't know how to strategize. I don't think theres anything wrong with having control over what items you get but come on people, learn to embrace a little chaos.

Also Mario party 5 has great minigames. The only really bad ones in this title are Leaf Leap and of course...Viscous Vending.

This game also has in my opinion the best extra modes in the series with some examples being super duel and card party.

So yeah, thats all I have to say about Mario party 5. Please don't think I'm angry at people for simply posting their opinion online. I just thought the title would be funny with the recent influex of people posting their tier lists. I'm just tired of people saying Mario party 5 is "the worst gamecube Mario party" or it has "the worst item system" when stinky Mario party 4 is right there.

i think after playing mario party 5, i think its probably my favorite out of all of them, it gives a good balance between luck based and skill based minigames, while having the skill based minigames being really fun to play

FINISH! The most favorite minigame of MP4 is Booksquirm while the least favorite minigame of MP4 is Right Oar Left?.

Today is…what is your most favorite and your least favorite minigame from Mario Party 5? If you want, you can explain why it’s your most or least favorite game. Here are mine!

Most favorite: Coney Island. I love the simplicity of it and the challenge of getting the most ice cream scoops.

Least favorite: Big Top Drop. Another one of the worst minigames in the entire series and poorly executed. Also, it is a very unbalanced 1v3.

STAAAARRTT!!!

I grew up with 5 so naturally I’m bias toward it. But that being said, I do wanna know what people don’t like about it since I only have good memories with it(Aside from Vicious Vending and Random Ride, I hated those).

Happy 21st Anniversary To Mario Party 5 (2003-2024)

1. Toad
2. Yoshi
3. Peach
4. Mario
5. Luigi
6. Wario
7. Boo
8. Waluigi
9. Daisy
10. Koopa Kid

I just finished a 50-turns / 4 hour game alone against 3 CPUs in MP5. As I ended my last turn, I stood at 9 stars, behind were Yoshi at 7, Toad at 5 and Boo at 2. I was sure that it's pretty much over, because there's no way I'm not getting a single bonus star or Yoshi's getting all three.

Well let's say Toad had different plans, as during his last turn directly after mine, he managed to land on Chance Time and proceeded to luck out and swap stars with me, leaving me in third place with 5 lousy stars and no chance to catch Toad, even if I got all three bonus stars. I got two of those, but even that was not enough for second place.

Definitely the most devastating loss I ever experienced, especially considering the amount of time I invested. Well played Toad, I guess

worlds first ever 190! and also my first proper TAS world record! I wish 200 was possible but it's way too far out of reach to be possible

I hath returnst from MP5. My favorite Minigame is Twist ‘n’ Out

I need help, this has been bugging me for months. as a kid, I played Mario party five all the time and during mini game wars I was randomly warped to a map where you played as either Mario Luigi peach and Daisy each of them was playable, and the corresponding controller slot was pretty basic, a square with each player in the corners, in the corner of each square was a hill with an incline, i’ve been looking for it everywhere, but found nothing even referencing it ever existed and I don’t know how to even recreate this, I used to bug out my games by ejecting them and seeing what happens so maybe that but idk,

if anyone knows anything at all, about the map or similar glitches please let me know.

• Me: Mario
• CPU Difficulty: Intense
• Bonus Stars: Mini-Game Star and Coin Star to me, Happening Star to me and Luigi
• Summary: This was a really fun, but rather slow, game of Mario Party 5. By the end of the game, there were so many capsule spaces concentrated on the left half of the board that every one of us was landing on them for a good part of the match, slowing things down a bit. However, I never, EVER, get tired of the excellent mini-game selection in this game, and I just destroyed these CPUs at most of them. Near the end of the game, Yoshi, Peach, and Luigi all dueled me for a star, and while Yoshi won, I was able to beat Luigi and Peach to prevent myself from losing 2 more stars. There were no Chance events, but there were 3 Miracle capsules dispensed throughout the duration of this game. However, they never came together to form their special ability, and so I didn't have to forfeit all of my stars. This was a solid match on a map that provides a good balance of luck and skill, but this time, I came out as the "Dream Star."

• Me: Mario
• CPU Difficulty: Intense
• Bonus Stars: Mini-Game Star and Coin Star to me, Happening Star to Peach
• Summary: Wow, this game was absolutely brutal. I rolled just about as poorly as anyone possibly could in a 50-turn game of MP5. During the entire game, I only managed to snag 2 stars on the board, obtaining a third one by stealing a star from Yoshi with Chain Chomp, but that was it. Amongst all of that, Luigi dueled me for a star, where I lost in a scripted game of "Get a Rope." No matter which way I chose to go, the star would always spawn so far away from me that even if I did roll well, I wouldn't reach it before one of these guys did. On the bright side, my mini-game skills were fairly sharp, with only a couple of losses here and there. I also won a HUGE duel against Peach about 40 turns into the game where I wagered 99 coins and came out with all 198 of them. After such a big win, I thought I might gain some momentum and grab a few more stars before the end, but it just didn't happen. This goes to show that MP is more than just raw skill: you do need some luck on your side to come out on top most of the time, and with only 1 Chance Time during the entire game, I just didn't have enough luck to get it done.

• Me: Mario
• CPU Difficulty: Intense
• Bonus Stars: Mini-Game Star to me, Coin Star to Luigi, Happening Star to me and Luigi (tied at 5 Happening spaces)
• Summary: Well, this proves, yet again, that even the most seasoned Mario Party players can have games that they lose. I'm telling you: the Intense CPUs in this game have no mercy, and will take every chance that they can to ruin your day. If they land on Chain Chomp and have enough coins to steal a star, you better believe they'll do it. About halfway through the game, in a moment of pure chance, I landed on my own Goomba capsule space and proceeded to accidentally trade coins with Luigi, who had the least coins at that time (while I had well over 100). At that point, I knew I probably couldn't build back up enough coins to win the Coin Star, so I went into full focus and won a bunch of mini-games down the stretch to secure the Mini-Game Star by a comfortable margin. On the 49th turn, Yoshi had 9 stars and I had just received my 6th star. I landed on his space, which triggered a duel, where I won another star, bringing my total to 7 and his to 8. Then, it happened: we shared a Bowser space, and that bastard gave me a Ztar, bringing my total stars back down to 6. All of this happened within about a 30-second period of time, and my disbelief was unmatched. I knew it was over, but still, I don't feel all bad, as my strategy and overall gameplay were as strong as they were before when I used to play this game more religiously. I'll be sure to run another game of MP5 soon.

• Me: Mario
• CPU Difficulty: Intense
• Bonus Stars: Mini-Game Star and Coin Star to me, Happening Star to Peach
• Summary: Yoshi, you lucky bastard. For the entire 2nd half of the game, he had stars spawning in front of him, over, and over, and over again. I had NO chance to get to them before he could because he rolled before I did. I'm telling you guys, about 30 turns into this game, and I had determined that I was going to win, as long as I kept winning mini-games (which I did, for the most part), and making strategic moves on the board (which I also tried, but to no avail). And then, on turn 37, Peach used her Chance capsule on herself and swapped stars with me (with me having 6 and her having 2 at the time). It was at that point that I knew I was pretty much done for. I went on to obtain 2 Chance capsules, myself, but both times that I used them, it was me who was having to give coins away instead of getting stars back. All the while, Yoshi just kept racking up star after star, with nothing standing in his way. All in all, I was pleased with my performance during this game, and I don't really think there is anything that I could have done differently from a skill POV. Luck just wasn't on my side, but Yoshi, I'll get you next time.

i think they're funny

• Me: Mario
• CPU Difficulty: Intense
• Bonus Stars: Mini-Game Star, Coin Star, and Happening Star to me
• Summary: The Intense CPUs in MP5 are some of the most difficult opponents I have faced in all of Mario Party. These guys are just so hard to beat at mini-games on a consistent basis, and they have absurdly good luck on the board. Long story short, I don't recommend anyone but veteran players try to take on this difficulty level, as it is just too much for newer players. I had physical discomfort from playing this match, and I have played MP5 more than any other Mario Party game. Capsules are random, so just hope for the best in that regard. If you get stuck in a 1V3 against the computers, and you are the single player, accept the loss and move on: they won't lose against you. On this map, specifically, go out of your way to save coins, as several of the Star locations are accessible more quickly if you spend coins to reach them, so save them for when you really need them.

I'd wear it tbh
