Thanks for watching!! What are your initial thoughts on Super Mario Party Jamboree? Is there anything that you noticed in the trailer that I missed? Do you have any wishes for this game? Let me know in the comments! IT’S MARIO PARTY SEASON BABY WOOOOOOOOOOO
Superstars was a good game albeit lacked in side content, this one seems to be deviating toward ideas from ALL entries in the series while not completely abandoning the series' roots. This better be a 7/10 at least
The 5 chests in that one section kinda reminded me of a water map in Mario party 10. There were 5 chests you could choose from, and they either gave you something good or something bad, maybe it’s seeing a return for this map? 12:48
The larger Bowser that glows purple is likely a result of Kamek animating that one statue that we see for a brief moment, when Mario, small Bowser, Peach, and Yoshi are on the hot air balloon going to the big island.
13:00 Boo bell item is confirmed to be returning from the official artbox so you probably can use boo to steal coins/Stars so there are probably still boo spaces that allow you to steal form other players.
Rainbow Galleria honestly seems to be the board I wanna see in Goomba Greedy Gala, but unlike with that board where it fails to be a consistent board, Rainbow looks way more interesting and can plan your route. I’m just glad we have more than 5 boards, and all of them are unique in their own ways.
Yep imo a Mario party has to have at least 6 boards. Anything less and it feels lacking, the replay value takes a big hit. I never thought about there not being enough boards when there was six
@@shangkay6918 They could've used the clone from Mario and Luigi, the blue one, it can be to promote the new Mario & Luigi game coming out! That would've been smart!
12:10 I'm sure the Goombas retire to their homes during hightide...or maybe they sacrifice their bodies into (what I'm going to call) the Goombolcano to erupt as golden versions of themselves.
Warp Boxes were actually in Super Mario Party, but they only appeared in the 2v2 mode. I'd imagine they work similarly in this game to how they work in Star Rush and The Top 100, where they're basically just the same as Warp Blocks.
I don't know if this was already stated, but in Roll 'em Raceway, when Toad uses the quadruple dice, he passes an interactable spot by a stump with a boo sign by it. this could confirm your boo returning theory, as well as maybe indicating that the quadruple dice item acts similarly to the mega and mini mushrooms in Mario Party 4, where you aren't able to interact with board events while you're still moving.
10:57 Waluigi's item looks like the Hexes from Mario Party DS. 14:57 I'm thinking that if you ring the bell, Wiggler will move all the way around to face to look at that bell, so its face will be by the bell Something else that I haven't seen anybody mention before - the Chance Time spaces are now Green instead of Blue. That's gonna effect the minigame type at the end of each turn.
something I'm starting to notice is there seems to be a lot of things that could have unique interactions based on what the players choose, Bowser being replaced by the stone bowser statue, Boo stealing his own stars, Yoshi running around without anyone riding on his back. it's all really similar to that one secret where monty would have a mortified look when you play that one whack a mole minigame
They kinda did that in superstars with the ability to choose which era like n64 GameCube etc and had a family option so hopefully they bring this feature back since this new Mario party feels like if superstars and super Mario party had a kid with the best of both worlds mixed in. 😅
I think Chuck definitely isn’t a playable character and more of an npc, in that clip where he has the name Danny above him you can actually tell that Daisy is in fact the one with the Danny name tag not only with her icon being next to it but if you slow down the clip you can definitely see Daisy behind Chuck.
I saw people complaining about it being “Super Mario party” it’s literally just a title… it’s still Mario party and a new good one at that. It reminds me of star rush which I thought was a pretty decent game. I’m super excited for a new good fun Mario party game made with heart.
I did notice that there seems to be two different item shops, most easily seen on Goomba Lagoon. And with the item Waluigi is holding that seems to be a -10coin space, my guess (or lofty dream perhaps) is that the purple shops are hex shops! There also seems to be only one of each in Rainbow Galleria (I may have missed one though) so I think the different happening-spaces in front of the shops is another way of giving out items for this board! It may also seem like Bowsers Keep is a new spin on a linear board? It's a bit difficult to make out but it seems that theres a grey pipe in the far back that leads back to start. And is it just me or does that purple spot to Bowsers leftlook like a big version of that possible hex item? Very hyped for this game lol, looking forward to all of your content on it:D
Fantastic video :) I remember yelling and shouting and running around and banging the walls when the game was revealed LOL (we have been starved of GOOD mario party games for over 15 years)
9:17 I think that's not a Boo Bell, just a regular bell that triggers the sale events, though Boos and the Boo Bells are also back And the racing board may be closer to the DK board from DS with how it's all one big loop where u get to buy a star each time you reach the finish line The gimmick to the Goomba board could be similar to Shy Guy's Jungle Jam's river events, where the river overflows and forces players to stick to a loop, and the boos stealing coins and stars are probably just normal Boos, if there's lots of Goombas around despite a Goomba being playable, Boos can steal stuff just fine despite a Boo also being playable And there's something curious going on with the shops at Mario's Rainbow Castle, becuase they seem to be two sides, the standard purple, and a red side, so maybe they also rotate alongside the main tower
The items that look like hexes from DS or traps are not exclusive to the racing board, they are on the window of the 4th shop in Rainbow Galleria. Also Inbelieve the purple shops run by Kamek will only sell traps.
I’m very pleased with what we’ve seen so far! It’s really cool how they’re taking the Mario Kart approach with both new and old boards! Like with Coinathlon, I hope some of Super’s mechanics like character dice and Partner Party will return in some shape or form. I’d love to see those ideas be tweaked or expanded upon! Also the environment design looks INCREDIBLE!? I love how colorful and detailed the boards are, especially Western Land!
I think the Wiggler will wake up and move to the right, changing the "townsquare" shortcut. You can see at the top and bottom two intersections that lead towards the Wiggler, and to the left of the top arrow and to the right at the darker forest area two leaves that indicate where you leave the Wiggler
I really hope that we get DLC for this. I know 7 boards and a ton of new mini games is a lot of content, but I'd love to see some more N64 boards and some from Mario Party 8, like Shy Guy Express and Koopa's Tycoon Town
Something to note: the wrap block has already been an item in Mario Party Star Rush and Top 100 and Super Mario Party. In SR and Top 100 it warps the player to the space of a rival meanwhile in SMP it was only available in partner party mode where it warps the user to the space of their teammate. My theory is that it will warp you to someone's space rather than swap places, similar to the warp space from MP4 and springo candy from MP8 (I'm sure there are few other similar items, but those came to mind). Ps. fun fact, the block is also seen in Mario Party 10 when you land on a Bowser Space it'll warp the players to Bowser.
I think the Danny Chuck MIGHT be a thing just for that minigame. Danny, the daisy player, has control over Chuck for this event for one reason or another. Also unlikely but here's hoping for Vivian as a DLC char.
I believe each of the four stamp events in Rainbow Galleria have a balloon with varying imagery. I noticed a coin, red shell, and shy guy mask. I'm guessing the person to pass a booth for the fourth stamp (each pass would equal one stamp) will be rewarded with an item specific to that booth. Edit: Oh also, just my guess that the flash sale in Rainbow Galleria will occur every 5 turns.
Until proven otherwise, I'm going to say that Goombas and Bloopers have actually been the same species this entire time and they can change form at will when they wanna go in water or get out of it.
I think I suddenly understand the UI order format during the board game: it's based on what's coming next, with the item in the bottom left corner being the thing that is currently happening, and everything on the right being what follows; like a timeline of sorts. That would explain why the order appears to be different sometimes, as well as the presence of a Minigame and Homestretch icon. In the current footage we have of Rainbow Galleria, we see that a Flash sale begins, and in correspondence, the "Flash sale begins" icon is in the bottom left corner. But when it's Ninji's turn, Ninji's player stats are in the bottom left instead, with the "Flash sale icon begins" icon gone and every other thing moved up a spot as well, revealing the "Homestretch" icon on the far right. In the Roll 'em Raceway footage, we see that Toad's player stats are on the far left as well since it's his turn, but his icons are followed by the "minigame" and "homestretch" icons before the other players; that actually seems to indicate Toad moves last in the turn before the minigame begins, whereas Ninji in the Rainbow Galleria board begins first. As said before, this "timeline" UI also explains the presence of the "Minigame" and "Homestretch" icons; they're upcoming events, NOT current events (TBH that also does make more sense for the presence of the "Homestretch" icon, since the homestretch is always on the last five turns, which would begin at Turn 6/10; Turn 5/10 means there's 6 more turns to go).
Now that mark haha has made a video on it, I can now finally have an opinion about Super Mario Party Jamboree. Jokes aside, it feels reassuring to see that Mario Party finally seems to be in a good place again. For the first time in over a decade, I was able to look at a new Mario Party game and not have a bunch of concerns pop up in my mind. The only baffling thing I've seen so far is why they brought back 2 N64 boards here instead of putting them in the game that's literally about bringing back N64 boards and a ton of minigames, or at the very least, why didn't they finally bring back some GameCube boards, but whatever. Mario's Rainbow Castle and Western Land are some of the best choices they could've made. In general, I really hope that the pacing and item management is good. Don't have the excessive amount of animations that Super had and don't just hand out golden pipes like candy like in Superstars.
Something really cool with the retro boards is that you'll always see a bit of the design philosophy on the developers based on what they change. Adding a junction to Western World is super promising since it gives the feeling they want more decisions to be possible, in any case I really can't wait to see what these boards look like!
I don’t think there being no banks will be much of an issue personally. They could potentially adjust prices of items, Boo etc to help balance everyone’s coin counts
In the among us trailers, there is a button to swap to imposter on the corner but isn’t in the real game. It is most likely a a dev thing like in among us on 3:46
I believe that the minigame icon is just to remind players that landing on the same space starts a duel minigame! After all- we only see this icon during the homestretch.
the gimmick Is that once you get a star/lose 30-40 coins from toad/bowser, It switches to the other character, so i guess they added a model for the unused character
The minigame fist is probably for when it's the final turns when landing on the same space means you have to duel someone like in mario party superstar
Excellent analysis. I share your critiques of overinflated economies in the last two Mario Parties, but comments like the golden pipe being overly powerful on a specific board I just don't get. That's awesome to me since it's only on one specific map. Makes the strategy of that board more interesting and unique imo, as long as it's not a problem throughout the whole game. Anywho, well done!
I think roll’em raceway will be really fun. If the star is static then the emphasis will be on circulating the map as many times as possible. tying in to the racing aspect of the map
The return of Bowser as a playable character does raise a lot of questions. I wonder if the Bowser board will change if you're playing as Bowser or maybe they'll have some sort of witty dialogue acknowledging the fact. Bowser being playable also makes me curious if Character dice have a chance of coming back since he was kind of the poster boy for the Mechanic, especially since they're sticking with the Super moniker
2:26, how did we know that? for all we know it could just been a unique title for handheld releases, maybe they just stopped counting after 10, like they stopped with the super mario bros series with 3, it could be also that new mario party were just gonna have unique games, with mario party superstars
I think the option to use a pro-controller brings the question of how many motion control minigames there are in total because if the minigames are separated into their respective modes, e.g. rhythm, koopathlon minigames, narrowing down the selection even further means even less minigames in the rotation for the actual main board mode. There might not be many motion based ones in the final product but if there is, I hope there's many minigames compatible with the pro-controller. Maybe there'll be a toggle in the options to allow a way to play them without the joy-cons but it's looking unlikely. They managed to get around the motion restriction with the return of 8's chosen minigames from the past installments, so I hope there's an update in the future for it. Still looking to be a really great game besides that, though.
Some thoughts I thought you didn't mention are that Mega Wiggler seems to be reminicent of Windmillville (Mario Party 7) and while Goomba Lagoon looks like it functions similar to Bowsers Enchanted Inferno, I'd argue it's a remix and remaster of Castaway Bay (Mario Party 6)
Thanks for watching!! What are your initial thoughts on Super Mario Party Jamboree? Is there anything that you noticed in the trailer that I missed? Do you have any wishes for this game? Let me know in the comments!
IT’S MARIO PARTY SEASON BABY WOOOOOOOOOOO

Good job for pointing it out your the only other person to notice it.
Did you notice that the sign looks like a boo maybe this can steal stars and coins and the other one steals items
@@Kammi_dt No that's on the other ship were talking about the one with 5 chests but you are right because potentially be a normal boo.
The larger Bowser that glows purple is likely a result of Kamek animating that one statue that we see for a brief moment, when Mario, small Bowser, Peach, and Yoshi are on the hot air balloon going to the big island.
I like the idea of old Mario Party boards returning in new games, like Retro Tracks in Mario Kart
13:00 Boo bell item is confirmed to be returning from the official artbox so you probably can use boo to steal coins/Stars so there are probably still boo spaces that allow you to steal form other players.
There are, you can see them at the Wiggler and Goomba boards, and the retros probably have them too
Rainbow Galleria honestly seems to be the board I wanna see in Goomba Greedy Gala, but unlike with that board where it fails to be a consistent board, Rainbow looks way more interesting and can plan your route.
I’m just glad we have more than 5 boards, and all of them are unique in their own ways.
It helps Rainbow Galleria isn’t completely flat
Yep imo a Mario party has to have at least 6 boards. Anything less and it feels lacking, the replay value takes a big hit. I never thought about there not being enough boards when there was six
I believe the Japanese website confirmed online for regular boards.
I think NDCube and Nintendo knows that Online play has to be there day one now.
By the looks of it, Bowser being playable and a boss at the same time is so weird.
I’m gonna assume the purple aura around it means that it’s like a fake bowser
@@shangkay6918 They should've used Fury Bowser or Wonder Bowser, those would've looked cool!
@@duebfofn yeah maybe but they always do a different type of bowser for like some sub games and some main games
@@shangkay6918 They could've used the clone from Mario and Luigi, the blue one, it can be to promote the new Mario & Luigi game coming out! That would've been smart!
@@duebfofn yeah that's a smart idea too
being able to play as toad gives me hope for this game more than anything else. I love toad
10:38 if you look in the back, you can actually see a sign indicating that these are bumpers, so you’re most likely right.
me being super excited for this game knowing damn well it’s gonna release in 4 MONTHS
You're not the only one :D
Me too 😁
Saaame! Imma get my big brother (30) to buy me this
This is my first time stumbling upon your channel, and I think I struck gold.
Can't wait to binge through your catalogue tonight :)
Same 😂
yo thanks a bunch!! i greatly appreciate that :)
I just hope that the game isn’t as painfully slow as the first super Mario party. 60 minutes for 10 turns was too much
Am I built different for doing 20 turns in 60?
I know it's seems like they are balancing the new game into a 10 turn standard game.
@@hananaltair3563 Depends if you did it on Super
Hoping for Pauline as an unlockable player
Yeah, I'm surprised she's not in it from the start.
Since odyssey she’s been becoming more relevant so I’m sure they’ll have her as an unlockable character or even dlc if they plan on giving it
She is in fact in the game
12:10 I'm sure the Goombas retire to their homes during hightide...or maybe they sacrifice their bodies into (what I'm going to call) the Goombolcano to erupt as golden versions of themselves.
Warp Boxes were actually in Super Mario Party, but they only appeared in the 2v2 mode. I'd imagine they work similarly in this game to how they work in Star Rush and The Top 100, where they're basically just the same as Warp Blocks.
I WAS SAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT
I have watched SO SO MANY jamboree videos and my goodness - you have outdone yourself with this analysis video. New subscriber for sure!
I don't know if this was already stated, but in Roll 'em Raceway, when Toad uses the quadruple dice, he passes an interactable spot by a stump with a boo sign by it. this could confirm your boo returning theory, as well as maybe indicating that the quadruple dice item acts similarly to the mega and mini mushrooms in Mario Party 4, where you aren't able to interact with board events while you're still moving.
10:57 Waluigi's item looks like the Hexes from Mario Party DS.

Something else that I haven't seen anybody mention before - the Chance Time spaces are now Green instead of Blue.
That's gonna effect the minigame type at the end of each turn.

on the japanese website it says the regular 4 player mario party can be played online with friends or with randoms just like superstars
I know this won't happen, but I hope they give us the option to pick which minigames we want to include and exclude in a game just like Mario Party 4.
They kinda did that in superstars with the ability to choose which era like n64 GameCube etc and had a family option so hopefully they bring this feature back since this new Mario party feels like if superstars and super Mario party had a kid with the best of both worlds mixed in. 😅
Bowser appears to be enchanted on the boards. Maybe it's the transformed Magikoopa.
No that Bowser is a fake because it has the purple magic and is definitely made by Kamek.
@@sahaprocks7751 that's what I just said lol
@@Leo-tf4ew you said Bowser was “enchanted” on the boards. You said that was the real Bowser
@@sahaprocks7751 Learning how to read is free, he clearly meant to say it's a fake bowser, it's not up to interpretation LOL
I think Chuck definitely isn’t a playable character and more of an npc, in that clip where he has the name Danny above him you can actually tell that Daisy is in fact the one with the Danny name tag not only with her icon being next to it but if you slow down the clip you can definitely see Daisy behind Chuck.
I love your little giggle after mentioning Rocket Road. Obviously this is why your channel is named the way it is.
I love your passion for Mario Party, man! And you gave a lot of interesting information. :)
The 3d world warp block was an item in MP star rush!
I saw people complaining about it being “Super Mario party” it’s literally just a title… it’s still Mario party and a new good one at that. It reminds me of star rush which I thought was a pretty decent game. I’m super excited for a new good fun Mario party game made with heart.

And is it just me or does that purple spot to Bowsers leftlook like a big version of that possible hex item?
Very hyped for this game lol, looking forward to all of your content on it:D
Fantastic video :)
I remember yelling and shouting and running around and banging the walls when the game was revealed LOL (we have been starved of GOOD mario party games for over 15 years)
Sweet! I was just watching through the retrospective series and was hoping to see what you thought about this new game.
I wish they'd bring back the MP 6 and MP 7 orb system. Creating trapped spaces added such a fun element.
underrated youtuber!!
Yes a huge Mario party enjoyer I really appreciate this vid, so excited for playable Bowser back toooo ❤
Yay, this was such an in-depth analysis! A lot of things I definitely hadn't picked up on. OK NDCUBE COOK!!!!
I’m SO Hype Ninji is finally playable Ninjis are one of my favorite Mario species!
10:54 This actually looks exactly like DS' -10 Coins Hex, which might explain why it has such an unique frame.
9:17 I think that's not a Boo Bell, just a regular bell that triggers the sale events, though Boos and the Boo Bells are also back
And the racing board may be closer to the DK board from DS with how it's all one big loop where u get to buy a star each time you reach the finish line
The gimmick to the Goomba board could be similar to Shy Guy's Jungle Jam's river events, where the river overflows and forces players to stick to a loop, and the boos stealing coins and stars are probably just normal Boos, if there's lots of Goombas around despite a Goomba being playable, Boos can steal stuff just fine despite a Boo also being playable
And there's something curious going on with the shops at Mario's Rainbow Castle, becuase they seem to be two sides, the standard purple, and a red side, so maybe they also rotate alongside the main tower
Great trailer analysis! It brings me back to the days when GameXplain used to do them.
The items that look like hexes from DS or traps are not exclusive to the racing board, they are on the window of the 4th shop in Rainbow Galleria.
Also Inbelieve the purple shops run by Kamek will only sell traps.
I’m very pleased with what we’ve seen so far! It’s really cool how they’re taking the Mario Kart approach with both new and old boards! Like with Coinathlon, I hope some of Super’s mechanics like character dice and Partner Party will return in some shape or form. I’d love to see those ideas be tweaked or expanded upon! Also the environment design looks INCREDIBLE!? I love how colorful and detailed the boards are, especially Western Land!
I think Charging Chuck is meant to be a partner character.
Its listed as Daisy because they are on Daisy's team
2:17 I think Daisy had something where she somehow possessed Chargin' Chuck the way Cappy can possess anything for Mario to control in Odyssey.
I think the Wiggler will wake up and move to the right, changing the "townsquare" shortcut. You can see at the top and bottom two intersections that lead towards the Wiggler, and to the left of the top arrow and to the right at the darker forest area two leaves that indicate where you leave the Wiggler
I really hope that we get DLC for this. I know 7 boards and a ton of new mini games is a lot of content, but I'd love to see some more N64 boards and some from Mario Party 8, like Shy Guy Express and Koopa's Tycoon Town
Im glad we got a new mario party, im hyped
i can't wait for this game. I am more excited for this game than the new 2D Zelda or Mario&Luigi
I think Danny is just behind the charging chuck since the name tag is quite low compared to the chuck’s size
Something to note: the wrap block has already been an item in Mario Party Star Rush and Top 100 and Super Mario Party. In SR and Top 100 it warps the player to the space of a rival meanwhile in SMP it was only available in partner party mode where it warps the user to the space of their teammate. My theory is that it will warp you to someone's space rather than swap places, similar to the warp space from MP4 and springo candy from MP8 (I'm sure there are few other similar items, but those came to mind).
Ps. fun fact, the block is also seen in Mario Party 10 when you land on a Bowser Space it'll warp the players to Bowser.
I really hope the boards here follow Superstar's with the last 5 turns variant theme
I loved that little addition (especially in Horror Land)
I think the Danny Chuck MIGHT be a thing just for that minigame. Danny, the daisy player, has control over Chuck for this event for one reason or another.
Also unlikely but here's hoping for Vivian as a DLC char.
Guys you don’t understand how excited I am
This is what I was waiting for.
I believe each of the four stamp events in Rainbow Galleria have a balloon with varying imagery. I noticed a coin, red shell, and shy guy mask.
I'm guessing the person to pass a booth for the fourth stamp (each pass would equal one stamp) will be rewarded with an item specific to that booth.
Edit: Oh also, just my guess that the flash sale in Rainbow Galleria will occur every 5 turns.
Until proven otherwise, I'm going to say that Goombas and Bloopers have actually been the same species this entire time and they can change form at will when they wanna go in water or get out of it.
Imagine Mario Party creating new lore for the Mario universe. Miyamoto will not be pleased.
I'm beyond excited for Jamboree. Hopefully it will make future Rec Room installments of Mario Party's dark age worth it for you. 😅
I think I suddenly understand the UI order format during the board game: it's based on what's coming next, with the item in the bottom left corner being the thing that is currently happening, and everything on the right being what follows; like a timeline of sorts. That would explain why the order appears to be different sometimes, as well as the presence of a Minigame and Homestretch icon.
In the current footage we have of Rainbow Galleria, we see that a Flash sale begins, and in correspondence, the "Flash sale begins" icon is in the bottom left corner.

12:11 Bro, Bloopers aren't Ghosts lol
2:10 I think it might be a mini game where someone is controlling the charging chuck.
like the shy guy grill minigame from ds
You’re still gonna make retrospectives for the rest of the MP games after DS 😅😅
Your MP videos are so good that i want more :3
I think Daisy was just standing behind the Charging Chuck, to be honest.
Now that mark haha has made a video on it, I can now finally have an opinion about Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Jokes aside, it feels reassuring to see that Mario Party finally seems to be in a good place again. For the first time in over a decade, I was able to look at a new Mario Party game and not have a bunch of concerns pop up in my mind.

Mario's Rainbow Castle and Western Land are some of the best choices they could've made. In general, I really hope that the pacing and item management is good. Don't have the excessive amount of animations that Super had and don't just hand out golden pipes like candy like in Superstars.
Fun fact, Ninji's first playable appearance was in Mario Golf Super Rush
I predict you choose the board before the characters, and certain events on the board will change which characters are available
Something really cool with the retro boards is that you'll always see a bit of the design philosophy on the developers based on what they change. Adding a junction to Western World is super promising since it gives the feeling they want more decisions to be possible, in any case I really can't wait to see what these boards look like!
I'm really curious about how were you able to make a 24 minutes long analysis with only a 2 minutes trailer... nice video anyways!
I don’t think there being no banks will be much of an issue personally. They could potentially adjust prices of items, Boo etc to help balance everyone’s coin counts
Do you think they will? They added Lucky Spaces, nerfed banks and lowered the item prices in Superstars lol. They don't get coin economy or balance.
8:37 think that's a boo on the overhead sign, and that this might be the boards boo space
In the among us trailers, there is a button to swap to imposter on the corner but isn’t in the real game. It is most likely a a dev thing like in among us on 3:46
2:20 I think it's a powerup that temporarly transform you into that character.
Is it just me who misses Partner Party from Super Mario Party? Probs the most fun I’ve had with friends in a LONG TIME
Hopefully we at least get a 2v2 mode, even if it's not as in depth
11:00 isn't that an hax from mario party ds?
8:37, could this not just be boo for this board, you reach it and enter boo's store to steal something?
Unfortunately, I think the Charge and Chuck was part of an 1V3 minigame where the 1 player turns into a charge and chuck.
I believe that the minigame icon is just to remind players that landing on the same space starts a duel minigame! After all- we only see this icon during the homestretch.
16:35 Never played MP1, does Bowser normally stand menacingly behind the castle?
the gimmick Is that once you get a star/lose 30-40 coins from toad/bowser, It switches to the other character, so i guess they added a model for the unused character
Amazing! I hope some gameplay of it will be revealed soon!
9:38 finally someone said it
I wanna hear you retrospective in the NDCube era.
The minigame fist is probably for when it's the final turns when landing on the same space means you have to duel someone like in mario party superstar
YASSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Wow, this genuinely looks like the first fun mario party game since DS
Bro REALLY loves chilly waters
I never heard of Picomy but seeing Monomals and seeing you made a best iOS 2015 game called heroki I looking forward of what game you are making!
If I can’t play Diddy, I’m going to be sad
Oh my god, they also took out dry bones. My bad is ruined
1:50 is that toadsworth too??
Also 8:50 i think it might share the same purpose as Mario party star rush, where you teleport to a player of your choice 🤷♀️
Im ready for some returning boards.
Mostly snowflake lake, king boos hideaway, and castaway bay.
Shoutout to warped orbit.
Excellent analysis. I share your critiques of overinflated economies in the last two Mario Parties, but comments like the golden pipe being overly powerful on a specific board I just don't get. That's awesome to me since it's only on one specific map. Makes the strategy of that board more interesting and unique imo, as long as it's not a problem throughout the whole game. Anywho, well done!
I think roll’em raceway will be really fun. If the star is static then the emphasis will be on circulating the map as many times as possible. tying in to the racing aspect of the map
But then the map is centered around high rolls and nothing else, maybe using some items to land on the happenings but that's it.
I'm excited for October.
I can only imagine THE mario party group start their newest season of mario party. ITS So painful having to wait.
Been waitin' for the analysis!
The return of Bowser as a playable character does raise a lot of questions. I wonder if the Bowser board will change if you're playing as Bowser or maybe they'll have some sort of witty dialogue acknowledging the fact. Bowser being playable also makes me curious if Character dice have a chance of coming back since he was kind of the poster boy for the Mechanic, especially since they're sticking with the Super moniker
the thing you're saying looks like a fizzlit looks like the item Waluigi had on the raceway board
Why did you use each of trailer's cutscenes so many times?
the mega wiggler map event space in the top middle is probably a bank
2:26, how did we know that? for all we know it could just been a unique title for handheld releases, maybe they just stopped counting after 10, like they stopped with the super mario bros series with 3, it could be also that new mario party were just gonna have unique games, with mario party superstars
I’m guessing the shop with the neon boo sign is where the boo equivalent is. I think the Peepa could serve some other function.
You win! I want Chilly Waters too!!
at 2:13 i think chargin chuck was daisys ally maybe?
I think the option to use a pro-controller brings the question of how many motion control minigames there are in total because if the minigames are separated into their respective modes, e.g. rhythm, koopathlon minigames, narrowing down the selection even further means even less minigames in the rotation for the actual main board mode. There might not be many motion based ones in the final product but if there is, I hope there's many minigames compatible with the pro-controller. Maybe there'll be a toggle in the options to allow a way to play them without the joy-cons but it's looking unlikely. They managed to get around the motion restriction with the return of 8's chosen minigames from the past installments, so I hope there's an update in the future for it. Still looking to be a really great game besides that, though.
Some thoughts I thought you didn't mention are that Mega Wiggler seems to be reminicent of Windmillville (Mario Party 7) and while Goomba Lagoon looks like it functions similar to Bowsers Enchanted Inferno, I'd argue it's a remix and remaster of Castaway Bay (Mario Party 6)
