Mario Party Boo House. Pay 50 coins to take a star and end a friendship.

who ever thought up the blue shell should face charges

Blue shell is pretty mild tbh. It's not really targeted, it just ALWAYS hits first place, so you can defer some responsibility when throwing one.

Also it's kinda needed. If you've ever played alternate power ups that remove the blue shell, 1st place just kinda gets out in front while the rest of the racers claw each other down with weaker power ups. This at least hits them with something too!

This plus people wasting their stars/supers

You just reminded me that EVERY time I played any SoR game with someone that hadn't played it before, they'd press each button to see what they did, and AS I WAS TRYING TO TELL THEM not to hit the button that uses their super, of course they pressed it and then didn't understand why they couldn't do it again (in the case of the first game if they were out) or why it took some health away.

I can still remember in the first one, suddenly everything freezes and I knew they hit their super button. Had to sit and wait for it to finish showing the animation of the police car firing all the missiles at the ONE enemy on screen.

Any game where someone selects the mode where you can damage each other in Beat em ups.

Speaking of Beat em ups, co-op in BattleToads NES. Think playing alone is hard? Hoo boy.

When my wife and I played 3D World back in the day and she kept picking me up and throwing me off the edge by accident.
Thank god, I'm not the only one.

"... by accident."

The crown in Super Mario 3D World will remind you that anyone one in your life will betray you for a chance to wear a shiny gold object.
it does NOTHING and people will risk game overs just to acquire it as if they're gollum

I can't wait to play this game again, this time with my girlfriend.


Looking at the other player's screen to see where they are

Did anyone else attempt to construct a makeshift screenhide out of cardboard and sticky tape?

Mario party, especially the three on one games from MP1.

If with the exception of grab bag (which is exclusively steal from the 1p character). All of them can be dominated by the single player...

Provided they sacrifice their hand to the mario gods...

My hand still hurts thinking about them. No quarter was given

Joe Bruiser (basically Muhammad Ali) was not allowed to be used in WCW/ NWO World Tour. He couldn't grab but his fast punches were hard to get around.

Any loot based game where you share loot. I had to quit playing Divinity Original Sin 2 with a close friend because he got really defensive and pissy about me opening a chest before him after a fight, and I was "hogging" all the loot. This was an unlocked chest in a house in front of a dude's bed that had like...a bed sheet and pillows in it.

Can you not trade loot? I mean even if someone is looting things in most games you can usually trade stuff.

This is a good one. Hadn't thought about Army of Two in years, but the first two were a ton of fun. And yeah, nobody wanted to be Rios lol

Even though Rios banter > Salem's quippy shit

There were 3 things that tested friendships back in my days:

- Mario Party: everthing lol
- Mario Golf: The ability to make sounds to annoy another player
- Gauntlet Legends: Getting the chest before my friends

We used to love playing Wrecked - a party racing game - back on the 360.

The objective was to make the opponent sound out of lives by getting so far ahead of them that they were caught by the range, or make them fall off the track.

When you died you then had a number of powers at your disposal, missiles, orbital lasers or even the ability to swap cars position on the track.

Being first and getting the brunt of three or four sets of missiles or lasers from your mates was the cost of victory.

I also quietly discovered the secret controls for how to boost forwards (you could boost side to side withr ifht stick, forwards was more complicated). After a few wins someone noticed something was up and I got riotous called out.

Fuck I miss that game.
