Jan 29th, 2007 at 07:01:22 - Mario Party (N64) |
So, after winning one, I ended up playing again with my roommates. Of course, I was Yoshi again. This time, we went back to 20 turns. I was so relieved. 35 turns is a bit much for me especially when they end up making you do the same mini-games. That was one downside. There probably could have been more mini-games to avoid any redundancy. When playing over again and seeing levels for the second time, I noticed the boards more. For the most part, I thought they designed the boards nicely. I was a bit sad they didn't have more boards and characters though. Well, no matter how many characters there are, I will always be Yoshi. But, it was the first one in the series so of course it had it's flaws. I haven't played any of the other ones in the series, but I hope to someday to compare them. Nevertheless, Mario Party was a fun experience because it brought all the roommates together. I think there's something about Mario games, at least the multi-player ones, that bring people together. Sometimes, games are worse when you add addtional human players, but Mario Party is just as good if not better with more human players.

So, I've been playing Mario Party with my roommates. We have a grudge against Luigi and Wario. So, we do our best to beat them. I always play as Yoshi because Yoshi is is just the greatest. We generally play 20 turns, but my roommate changed it to 35 for one round thinking it wouldn't take that long. When we hit our tenth turn, we thought it was halfway done, but we still had 25 more turns to go. We went to Yoshi's Island which was fine with me since I was Yoshi.
There are quite a few mini games in Mario Party. Some I like, but some just give me a migraine because I simply cannot master them. The ones where you have to rotate the control stick made my arm really tired. The paddle one and tug-of-war were the worst for that. But, they were fun games. We went to the fishing one where we had to aim to get coins, money bags, and chests. I managed to get 30 coins which was a record for me since I'm really bad at that game. Once you figure out when to cast, however, it becomes fairly easy. In an earlier game, one of my roommates grew angry because I knocked her off the ledge in bobsledding. I thought it was funny of course. But, I eventually paid for it in this game. I was bobsledding against another roommate and I flew through the air at one point and I think I hit her bobsled which made me fall off. But, I was actually winning for once so I didn't care much.
In the end, I managed to get the most coins and win an extra star for that. For the first time, I won. I was happy. But, that probably won't happen again. I think it was a one time deal.
I like this game because it's a fun multiplayer game. It's fun to yell at the computers and gang up on them. I thought the levels were designed nicely as well. The cake one made me hungry though. But, it was a lovely cake.

Although the characters look like polygons, the game is still very fun. But, that's what we had in the N64 days, right? I wish the game maybe had some more characters and levels. Plus, some of the characters I just think are dumb. No offense Ness and Jiggly Puff. How is Jiggly Puff a hidden character? I wish they had characters like Wario because he makes me mad in Mario Party and I just want to get revenge on him in Super Smash Brothers. I guess I can't complain too much about adding more levels and characters since they did that in Super Smash Brothers Melee. This was a first attempt in a great series and it was successful. The levels are great and unique. But, I do hate the Pokemon level because I tend to accidentally fall down the whole. I love Hyrule Castle though. It's definitely the one I do best in. I don't have to worry about accidentally falling down the whole there.
I played one player mode for a bit too because Captain Falcon wasn't unlocked yet. So, I looked online to see how to get him. I had to beat one player mode in twenty minutes. It's pretty easy when you have Yoshi to just butt slam all the other Yoshis and the Kirbys and the Polygon team. One player mode is really not as fun because I think the point of playing Super Smash Brothers is playing with other people, but maybe that's just me. When no one is around, it's a an okay alternative.
As I was playing, I really noticed the music. I like most of the music. Dreamland has a nice catchy song to fight to. And Hyrule has the classic Zelda song which is a nice touch in my opinion. Since this is the first in the series, I can't really say they should improve anything since they'll do it with future installments. Melee was definitely improved and Brawl should be too. We'll see how playing Super Smash Brothers is using the Wii remote.

Well, this past week, I've been playing the Nintendo 64 with my roommates. One game we've been playing is the original Super Smash Brothers. When there's only me and one other person playing we do a team battle and always play against Fox and Luigi. They're our arch rivals. In my opinion, the gameplay is awesome. It's so much fun. I can play for hours. In fact, over the weekend, one of my roommates and I were up until 9 A.M. and most of the time was spent playing this and Mario party. That's how addicted we are.
I used to play as Kirby all the time since he was good for beginners. Now, I've tried out Link, Samus, and Yoshi and discovered that Yoshi is the love of my life. I'm just kidding. But, he rocks. I love butt slamming people and headbutting them. The past hour, I've been Yoshi. My roommate took a break, so I played by myself. I played against Fox, Luigi, and Link. I'm kind of scared of Samus which is why I never play her. Anyway, I put them all on level nine to see how well I could fare against them. I ended up doing really well. I came in first with a score of 14. I was shocked. But, I admit, some of those kills were from the very cheap weapon: the hammer. But still, for me, that's pretty good.
