Its a Mario Party!

You guessed it, the Mario Party Special. So this is how it works I will go through each one of the 8, give it Pros and Cons, write a sentence or two about them and then a Score. If you have a problem with that then email us at cmjreviews@gmail.com
Mario Party is like a board game for N64, Game Cube, and Wii. There are tons of fun Minigames in each that you play after every turn.

Mario Party 1
The Birth of Mario Party. 9.5/10

Pros,
Birth of Mario Party
Good Minigames
Fun game boards

Cons,
It's the original so they had a lot of glitches they had to figure out
Not Many characters to choose from (Mario, Luigi, Wario, D.K., Yoshi, and Peach)

Chris: 9.5/10
Muffin Joe: 9/10

Mario Party 2
They worked out the glitches 8.5/10

This was really the start of Mario Party, they worked out the glitches and this is where Mario Party got off of the ground.

Pros,
Fun Character costumes
Good Minigames

Cons,
Same characters
Few Boards
You have to earn the minigames in party mode and then buy them to play whenever you want

Chris: 9/10
Muffin Joe: 8/10

Mario Party 3
Say Farewell to the N64 8.0

This one was actually pretty darn good although it did get a lower score than the others. This was also the last one of the Mario Parties to be on the N64.

Pros,
More characters (Daisy and Waluigi)
Good Boards
You don't have to buy the minigames!

Cons,
Adds to MP1 & 2 but kind of takes away from them

Chris: 8/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

Mario Party 4
Good start to the Game Cube versions of Mario Party 9.0

Now I haven't played this game enough to give it a legitimate review but what I do know is this:

Pros,
Took advantage of the Game Cube's better Graphics
Added a lot more minigames

Cons,
I haven't played it enough

Chris: 9/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

Mario Party 5
One interesting but good addition to the game. 9.5/10

What I mean by interesting is that they added an extreme bumper cars game to it. It isn't a minigame but I thought it was a pretty fun addition.

Pros,
Extreme Bumper Cars is pretty fun
good minigames

Cons,
This is where the game itself is just the same as the others except a few additions
Not much of a change

Chris: 9.5/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

Mario Party 6.
Same with #4 (I can't tell you a whole lot about it) 9.0

The only addition I saw with #6 is the addition of the microphone. I would need to play it again to give it pros and cons.

However, I, (Muffin Joe,) have played #6 plenty. I think that it is the best of the Mario Party series. I think that it has cool boards and that the microphone is an awesome addition.

Pros:
Night/Day feature is pretty sweet
Cool variation of characters
Mic is a good addition
Cool Boards

Cons:
This is the begining of the end for the Mario Party series

Chris: 9/10
Muffin Joe: 9.5/10

Mario Party 7
It starts to go downhill from here. 8.5

This is where the creators of Mario Party start to lose ideas. What I do remember from #6 is that one of the minigames was Lawn Mowing.

Pros,
Mic was a good addition
More characters
More minigames

Cons,
Losing minigame ideas
No good additions

Chris: 8.5/10
Muffin Joe: 8/10
