3 and 6. Went back to those two the most.

Putting 1 - 3 together in the poll torpedoes the results.

I personally dont like the mario parties with the most randomness. Dont get me wrong, a good chunk of randomness is fine because you gotta keep mario party mario party, but i want to at least be able to choose my item and choose who i want to duel and for what. Give me a LITTLE sense of agency.

Havent played all of them yet, just 5 & 7. On 5 you can choose who you duel and have the chain chomps which is nice, but the items are random. On 7 you can choose which item you can buy and who you duel but the duels have random results. Which one is the least random? (while still retaining that chaotic mario party spirit)

2, 3 and 4 personally are my top choices of fun maps, good items, and fun minigames. I think I'd choose 3 though because it also had that fun mode with the partners. I do have to say this poll was horribly botched by grouping 1, 2, and 3. Personally I'd have done 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and other as the choices (People don't really favor 1, right? It's kind of a mess and controller destroyer lol).

If I remember correctly, pretty sure 6 was my absolute favourite. It felt like all the ideas from previous games were merged together into the best MP experience they could make. If I have one quibble, it's that they didn't introduce any cool new characters.

9 onwards are so disappointing.

5 is my favorite. I love the Hotel Goomba and Chain Chomp mini games so much. The mic in 6 did not work as well as I needed it to.

3 or 4.

I don't really have a favorite, just I stopped liking them after they started to remove the items, and characters(RIP DK)

I sure wish there was a new traditional Mario Party with full online play.

Yep.

3 & 6. 3 had the best minigames and a really cool co-op board game mode where you recruited NPC creatures to fight/defend for you on the board, 6 had the day/night cycle and some really cool boards.

Why is Super Mario Party not on the list? Also 1, 2, and 3 are all going to be very very popular so it's wild to clump them together, at least give the later games a chance by giving them the combo.

Probably Mario Party 10, but it's also the freshest in my mind and is connected to some of my greatest Mario Party memories. Bowser Party mode with six players (Two co-oping as Bowser vs. Four players) is some great fun if you've got a crew that's into it.

I asked my wife Saturday night actually if she wanted to play Mario Party and she chose ten, as it and Super Mario Party were what I had handy, and she specifically asked for the "One without the grid", implying Mario Party 10.
