Mario Party
Mario Party is a collection of mini-games played with a variety of iconic Nintendo characters. They are notable for being games of skill.
Should the Bombcrew do another Mario Party Party?
You know if enough of us write in asking them to play Fortune Street, they'll probably just ignore it. But Waluigi is in that game so maybe Dan would be on board.
@artisanbreads: I meant play it again.
@tits_matador: I am aware. Just saying they already know about the game so up to one of them to want to do it.

After every trilogy, I'd like to see them dip into something like Crash Bash or Sonic Shuffle. For historical comparison.
@danryckert, if you want them to truly appreciate what Mario Party brings to the table, have them try out some shitty knock offs on live internet video.
Oh God, there are shitty knock offs of Mario Party?
Except that Nintendo had the foresight to poop these out and not care at all.
Crash Bash and Sonic Shuffle had production values because mascot-based party games were the next big thing!
You can play out the final sibling battle between Aku Aku and Uka Uka, in party form!
If they're going to play 50 turns, wait til Mario Party 10.
If they're going to play through all of them, only play 20-25 turns per game.
I love watching the Mario Party Parties. If you're not into it, you don't have to watch it. My guess is, based on the number of comments from the videos and forum threads like this, that they are getting quite a few views. For me, it's just fun seeing the way the game screws people over. I remember playing these in college and there was one friend of ours that 9 out of 10 times would get totally screwed over by the game. It was almost as if the game was sentient and just liked to pick on him. I do wish they took it just a little more seriously, not that they can't have fun with it, but when they obscure the screen with photos or shots of people's heads, it makes it difficult to watch.
The fact that they're so long just adds to it for me. I like watching a 1/2 hour here and there until I've seen the whole thing or I'll sometimes put the video up while I'm playing Hearthstone or some other game that doesn't require my complete attention. I'm really looking forward to the Mario Parties that use the microphone (all Game Cube versions, I think). I think they should be required to use the microphone when they get to those.
Is it wrong that I watch them purely to see Jeff in pain because he's such a curmudgeon about games I like? (Mario Party not being one of them).
I will second those who just want to see Dan lose though. He can be such a prick sometimes that I just need him to lose.
Much as I love Dan, the rest of the crew should reap their vengeance against him by:
1.) Choosing Waluigi before he can get to him.
2.) Teaming up on him in free for all games.
3.) Deliberately screwing him over in team games.
Joe Juba of Gameinformer knew how to troll him:
I've only played one or two of the MP games and it's an interesting glimpse at how they have evolved over the years. It gets a little tiring, but I just do other things while the video plays in the background and I listen to the always entertaining banter of the crew. Maybe it doesn't have to be 50 turns...?
...Who am I kidding? Of course it has to be 50 turns!
Here we go boys and girls!

Oh, no. It hasn't been nearly long enough since the last one, which basically broke the previously unbreakable Drew. Jeff surprisingly managed to get through it with some sanity left (mostly by entertaining himself by channeling DMX), and Brad visibly hated everything about it.
I'm going to watch the shit out of this, but it needs a warning before the video:
They need to force a lower turn limit. Fuck what Dan says. I love the guy, but 50 turns is too much for everyone involved except him. I'd be down for 50 turns, sure. But since the people who are actually there, don't, it doesn't make sense to keep doing it. The gimmick of them having to sit through 50 turns is over. The crew (besides Dan) just seethe pure hatred now rather than keeping it tucked away.
Other than that, the feature is great.
