Recent titles have failed at bringing my friends and I back together on the couch to rage at one another over challenging, delightfully frustrating minigames. I’ve dabbled in the series here and there since, and while I’ve kept an open mind about new mechanics, nothing has quite captured my attention in the same way the first few Mario Party games did. I also remember going home with marks on my palm from stick-rotating, and the groans induced when we discovered we had to play the flaming jump rope minigame.
