Yes.

first time i've seen this picture, but mario party rocked!

Oh god, yes. Those games were the worst. I'm getting pains in my palms just thinking about 'em!

The words "Mario Party" brings back the painful memory of the Tug o War mini game, and the ensuing desturction of my palm, as seen in Exhibit A.
 
May god have mercy on our souls

I remember playing a very considerable amount of Mario Party 4 and 5 back on the Gamecube, it was pretty fun.

i tore a hole in my hands many a time doing the fishing for coins mini-game. I tried different methods but the hole in the hand way was always the best.

Yea pedal power was a fkn bitch. Not only was my hand wrecked but the stick was never the same after either. Was all loose and shit like that.

I remember those games. They didn't rough up my hands as badly as other people claim it roughed up theirs, but they were still annoying.

I started wearing gloves when my cousin would come over, god I still remember the god awful blisters I would get, that analog stick was truly a work of the devil.

Haha, good times.

Yep, I too remember blisters from the tug of war game. Actually IIRC my mom was reading in a magazine where you could get some gloves being marketed directly for Mario Party, always wanted some of those.

This topic was discussed in last week's bombcast. I never actually heard of any "official gloves" though - sure wish I'd had them back then :P.

I don't remember that specific mini game, but it's been such a long time. I really was never too crazy about the Mario Party games. What killed me was the board game layout, I thought it was so boring and slow and dragged out matches for far too long. Still, I know all about high speed analog rotating. It's not cool.

OH MAN! I totally had that happen to me. Fucking raft minigame.
