Getting 919 Stars in a Single Game of Mario Party

- What is the most stars you can get in a single game of Mario Party? I've wanted to know this for a while so I did a ton of research on every Mario Party game and every board before reaching out to the TAS Maker @BeastlyN64, who I asked to create a TAS on whatever map was the most broken. Enjoy the video!
The full TAS for the the Faire Square game is currently NOT available because it's over 10 hours long and we're trying to figure out the best way to get it uploaded to the @BeastlyN64 Channel, I'll link it here when it's up!

4:04 It’s pretty cool how, despite it being basically impossible for anyone to realistically get 99 stars without TAS, that there’s a message saying that you have the max amount of stars. I figured it would still allow you to buy a star but the counter wouldn’t increase
When you code, it is important to secure every dumb way to achieve something like this.
Imagine you get 100 stars and the game crashes, that would be a shame, especially on the time where games wouldn't have patches (aka Cartridges).
As seen in the video (4:10) when a CPU gets to 99 stars, he cannot gain any more stars. But when he have enough money to steal a star, the code will try to steal, but fail because of the limit of 99 stars. Sure, something that is impossible would be a waste of time but what is impossible these days?
@@decryptic999 Especially with the amount of crazy people you have to account for lol
@@BlueSodaPop_ Specially on the internet era who is full of glitch hunters.
It does this in Mario party ds
I would assume it would be to account for any glitches or exploits to gain stars they potentially missed
Really weird how the star cap is 999 in the GameCube games and nowhere else, makes you wonder if the devs actually thought you could reasonably get over 99 in a single game
50 turns, 2-3 Stars per turn.
While the chances are smaller than me losing virginity, it is theoretically possible.
They probably just copied the code for the coin count in the gamecube games
@@ExtraBloxxer lolll
I think they mindlessly made it larger because they have access to more memory which means unnecessary floats and such

3:52 oh man I have a funny story about this minigame. When my sister and I first played Mario Party 3 when we were 9, my sister landed and Game Guy and got Game Guy's Roulette. Game Guy asked if my sister wanted to know no the rules and she said "Nah." And I was like "wait, but you need to know how to play!" And my sister said "I'll figure it out." We were then on the roulette screen and we quickly realized that neither of us knew how to play and we panicked. My sister said "What do we do???" And I said, "This is why you should've read the rules!!" And my sister said, "These games are usually easy, I thought it'd be obvious!" And the timer was ticking down and we were panicking even more. So I said "pick the x 64! Bigger numbers are better right???" And my sister is like, "Are you sure? I don't think it'd be that straightforward!" And I'm like "There's 2 seconds left just do it!" So she bet on the x64 chance of it landing on Shy Guy, and we both watched it horror as Shy Guy put down a shell and spun it, and we realized we were actually betting on where it would land. My sister was like "This is your fault!" And I'm like "How was I supposed to know?! You're the one who skipped the rules!" But then our jaws both dropped as the shell finally stopped, on the sliver of the roulette that represented Shy Guy. And my sister maxed out at 999 coins and we had to sit there for a good couple minutes and watch each of those coins drop on Yoshi's head. We were both freaking out, I've never seen anyone win with those odds at Game Guy ever since 😆
I have a similar story. Someone was watching me play through Mario Party 3's story mode . I was down on my luck, and only had about 30 coins by the end of the game, so I landed on a Game Guy space, got Game Guy's Roulette, and bet on Shy Guy. What happened next would leave everyone in hysterics for the entire day.
Most I've ever won was probably 400ish
Reminds me of Chuggaaconroy getting the x10 reward in Game Guy’s stair game twice in the same game (over two sessions). He was so rich that his total was still 999 when Bowser’s Communism happened next. He was “so rich that he broke Communism.”
Being a fan of Fir is like being a fan of Waluigi before he wasn't included in Smash
All of his videos get like 200k+ views but he gains subs at a snail’s pace
So he will become extremely cringe?
@@54F1_ what
Wait he only has 65k? I would think he had so many more subs
@@Illager_Fries_Gaming he has 95.1k subs
While I do understand the disqualification of 9/10, I DO think a video going over how many mini stars you can rack up in each board in 9/10 could be cool, since that's a pretty interesting subject (even if they break the usual formula pretty badly)
That's a video in itself! Through human means I could only get like ~100 mini stars in mario party 9
I managed to get around 170 mini stars once because for whatever reason bowser spaces can double your mini star count if you're in last place lol
@@dargon_
I lost so many games to cheating CPU' that way.
They won't even always double... Bowser can do nothing too.
The max is 999 (similar to the Star Count in 4-7).
@@ZtarWorld69
Somehow, I doubt it's possible to reach that amount...
The same way 919 is the maximum *reachable* in this game.
Edit: go check my comment a little under this one.
The car mechanic is so interesting from a design perspective. I can see some of the advantages of it - variable player count, potentially better pacing and storytelling - but it does feel like they really undercut its potential with the other choices. I think it *could* work, but in 9 and 10 I don't think it *does* work, if that makes sense.
I'm harsh on it in the video but I don't think the car mechanic is inherently bad, it's just very different and makes it pretty weird and jarring if you've played any other Mario Party game.
@@Fir Would be more interesting if the order of players would change depending on who wins the minigame
Otherwise you are srewed by player order
It was an interesting idea to try at least once. Don't think we needed it twice though.
@@mariokarter13 Could you imagine if they did bring it back as an alternate ruleset?
Super interesting video! Makes me wonder what the maximum star count would be for each board just out of curiosity, and what you would have to do to achieve that
Yeah it's really interesting, I would have loved to get exact numbers for more boards but the workload for doing Faire Square on it's own was already a ton haha
You Nathaniel B?
@@ryanweedwacker7905 dead meme
@@tmclown i don't think you quite understand what we're dealing with here, he's Nathaniel B
@@ryanweedwacker7905 yeah i know the meme and he is nathaniel b but its not funny anymore
it wasn't mentioned for long, but it makes me so happy fir mentioned mario part ds since it feels like that's a forgotten title yet it's arguably one of the best
this man speaks the truth
Trueeeee I love Mario Party DS
Woah I was not expecting fir, a man known for his love of the word heck and whose twitch emotes all start with soft, to drop such a gritty "fuck" 10 seconds in to a video about Mario Party.
lol
I mean his last video exists
Yeah I noticed he swears more in this one
I don’t generally think vulgar = funny but I gotta admit it was a well used curse
Back then: "Neato, a star!" "Good one!"
Now: "Let's f***ing goo!!! I got a star!!!" "I wish you were never born"
Honestly, I love the sense of progression on Mario Party 9 boards. It feels like your slowly building up the game in the best way possible, similarly to a league table in sports. Some may say the game feels slow, and doesn't have the same chaotic nature as other Mario Party games, but that feeling is amplified by the the final few turns having plenty opportunities to either grant you the win, or get completely screwed over.
I appreciate that Fir does mostly Odyssey content, but doesn't shy away from fun experimental videos in other series. I love it and this is the best YT channel I've discovered in the past year :)
i bet i could get 920 😎
First
Nice to see you here
Better First 😎
Hmm idk about that
9:31 imagine having unique dialogue for reaching a star count higher than could ever physically be reached even with perfect RNG
I know it makes sense that DS and 8 are on he list, but those two games were what I grew up with the most and it makes me happy to see them talked about
DS is criminally underrated from what I've seen. It's so fun, my only real gripe with the game is that the expert cpus are still dumb as all hell
@@Grane1234 DS isn't underrated people rate it highly
@@guavacadoII no where near as high as the rest of the series
4:27 I had this happen to me last NIGHT ironically!
I was on DK Stone Statue, the Stars were worth 5 coins, and I still ended up winning even with the CPUs set to hard!
I unfortunately didn’t get 99 Stars, but I did get 33 including bonus stars!
Heh. Cool.
what always ends up happening to me is I get a shit ton of coins but never get the chance to spend them on stars. i’ve ended games of MPDS in 4th place with like ~300 coins and maybe 2 stars
Great video! Thorough, funny, and informative!
I love your explanations. Concise and to the point but with enough detail included to be informative. The only extra thing I think I would have liked from this video is a bit of a rundown/explanation what a "standard" board (like all of MP1, etc.) would result in, which would segue perfectly into the existence of any board that lets us get more than that number means we can now throw out 100+ boards from consideration XD
Big shoutout to @BeastlyN64 for making this vid possible as well as Fir for making the video. Never underestimate how much TASers put into the speedrunning and challenge community. Then again, never underestimate how much a speedrun and challenge run is a community effort. Runners name always comes first naturally, but the community always comes right behind them normally unless its the trail blazing early days where the records come hot and fast until everyone eventually builds routes based on the strats, tricks, and manipulations everyone has found.
Really cool video, loved the editing and narration and explanations :)
Your videos are just so fun to watch, they always make by day better.
Nice job it’s hard making these type of challenges keep up the work fir!
@Fir Congrats on 100k! I’m new subscriber and this channel is awesome and I can’t wait to see it go up in the ranks!
Great video, man. Very interesting
That was the smoothest subscribe plug I've ever seen. Subscribed.
Very fascinating! Also I'm a big fan of the use of Farewell music
Just want to say technically in windmillville mario party 7. You can technically get more then 20 stars in that board without handicap. There is a happening space at the top of the board where you bounce on a trampoline to get coins that are passing by. If you manage to get every single one of them, you get a star
I was digging into this and most sources state that minigame gives 50 bonus coins for a perfect round excluding ign, which mentions stars. Im leaning towards ign being wrong on this one but i had trouble finding footage of someone actually getting every coin, so i cant say for sure. However, it wouldnt make much sense for them to remove DK star bonuses and then add an entirely seprate way to get bonus stars on the board.
@@Fir i could be getting it confused with the Pagota Peak thing where you jump across the waterfall to get coins while avoiding the logs. ill run a few tests for both 4 player and 8 player modes
Alternate title: Mario, Luigi, and Peach loan Yoshi money to feed his “Star” addiction
2:12
Correction:
There are 5 Hotels that level up to up to 3 Stars with 50 Coins and 2 Lucky Area Hotels that always have 3 Stars. That means there are *7* hotels. They are in the 4 corners of the regular map and the center. The Lucky Area Hotels are outside the map at the North-West and the South-East, each of the 2 Lucky Spaces takes to one of them specifically, the one of the West brings to N-W, the North one to S-E.
I know my first video game! I dare anyone to fact-check me on any of this!
I was fully aware that the lucky space hotels always start at 3 just didn't want to go on for too long about the board, but woops I did screw up on saying 6 instead of 7. Messed up with their being two lucky spaces areas instead of just one
@@Fir
At first, I just wanted to say there were 7, but since I didn't know what you forgot...
I may have flexed my knowledge a little bit too much...
Video's still great!
Such a cool idea and an awesome collab!
Great video as always Fir!! The Mario party series is one of my favourites so this was really interesting to watch!
You like Mario Party videos? Look up "Mario Party 6 portrayed by SpongeBob SquarePants".
Super cool video. A friend of mine and me played MP6 a lot as kids and we used this exact map to farm stars. We would play as a team against cpus and would end the game with 120 stars on average after 50 turns. This shows that even through normal gameplay, we could beat the 99 count.
"The only thing wrong with the car mechanic is that it's an affront to God."
Honestly this is such a Fir like viedo where it requires a bunch of research/game knowledge and pairing it with his skill it's crazy awesone how dedicated he can get
Congrats On 100k!
Congrats on 100k Fir!
I loved this video. This style of “can you do x in a game” is so entertaining. Keep it up Fir!
This is amazing, instant subscribe
Ah.. so I found a hidden gem channel, Subscribed! I'll be here and watch your channel grow👍🏻
That subscribe plug actually made me laugh. Well played, you got a new sub.
Congrat on 99K subs
Great video! I never thought about if there was a cap for stars
Fir is so underrated!!! Feel like he’s gonna blow up soon
As a kid/teen i made a 50 turn game with all CPUs on the map used to get max stars in this vid, and would leave the game running while i did other things to max out the star bank, lol.
I saw the 100star TAS in 10 turns earlyer this year and i knew that map would be the best :)
Yes! Mario party DS got a passing mention, I'm so happy!
MPDS is underated and my favourite Mario party game, so it getting even a passing mention makes me disproportionately hyped.
Cool video idea! So that was the surprise. I like it
Good vid! Proud of my fellow 20HatsHats alumni :D
congrats on 100K subscribers Fir
I play Mario Party 5-7 with my friends all the time. It was very satisfying guessing the right map. We use Faire Square to unlock the voice lines and other items in the game since you need a lot of stars for it.
Thank you for having Yoshi win. My friend would appreciate this.
this brings me back to when i was young and i played a 50 round game of mario party 7 with my friend vs 2 computers, it was on neon heights, and at the end of that game i got 800+ coins, but my friend still won cuz he had more stars then me... great video
Great vid!
cool video! A lot of effort just for me to see a cool thing in under 10 minutes :D
Nice video!
Yoshi truly was the hero of the story
fr tho this a cool vid, definitely subbing
After being hammered by "x% of you are not subscribed yadda yadda..." in far too many videos, its nice to see a proper speedrun of the sub mention. For that, you get my click.
Love how direct this video was. Wasn't milked to 50 plus minutes lol.
Unpopular opinion... Mario Party 9 is my favourite Mario Party game.
However, Mario Party 10 made me UNDERSTAND why everyone hated the car mechanic. So I do see where most people are coming from.
What's so different between 9 and 10?
Personally Mario party 10 is my favorite Mario party game, though mostly for Bowser mode. I didn’t really like Mario party 9. Just feels like the normal version of 10.
@@Alcam211 9 generally had much better pacing in my opinion. Everything felt snappier and the boards were more engaging. 10 drags on too much for me and it felt a lot less inspired.
@@eudstersgamersquad6738 I liked Bowser Mode at first. (It made my birthday that year very memorable!) But it lost its lustre for me and my friends very fast. It feels next to impossible to win as Bowser when playing against people who know what they're doing (unless Bowser gets a lot of luck-based minigames). And you're going to be playing A LOT of Bowser minigames in a single board, so you might be there a while...
@@AzureDragonZX Since I owned the game, I played Bowser a lot and I was always super lucky in that game, so I actually won over half the time, so… I definitely liked it. Lol.
Fine. FINE. YOU WIN. TAKE MY SUB.
But only because of your incredible chase ending in GPB's latest hide and seek video. 😂
(Yes, I'll also go and see if I can watch your POV now.😋😘)
What a lovley video!
Gotta love the Farewell music in background
Chaos as usual, I love it
A little fun fact: 919 is more than the amount of Stars required to buy everything in the Star Bank, which is around 760.
This literally means you could hypothetically TAS 100% Mario Party 6 if you were willing to pour in the borderline DAYS of work required to TAS through Solo Mode to get every Minigame, and possibly even complete Endurance Alley and get Rank 16 Lab Brats, even if that isn't technically part of 100%.
OMG
in mario party 8, the hotel map has 2 (or 3?) x 3 stars buildigs from the start if you land on a golden lucky spot so with handicap that would be 24 or 27
I am really impressed that not even with a TAS it was possible to reach 999.
I already knew it had to be faire square on 50 turns but the amount of stars still surprises me
Amazing vid
This must have taken a lot of time! It was surprisingly interesting though
I love how it all comes down to the Mario Party games I grew up with aha
On the topic of mini stars, my running theory is that they are like the silver stars in 64, so 5 mini stars are equal to one regular start
"The only thing wrong with the car mechanic is that it's an affront to God."
As someone who despises Mario Party 9 and 10, thank you for this line. That was amazing.
Thank you for for making my day better
This was seriously interesting
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO :D!! Awesome job fir
It took me five seconds to guess the map and game because I could not think of another map that gives as many stars as the mario party 6 map. That is honestly my favorite in the series and to this day I think 6 had the most fun mechanics.
there are also two extra 3-star hotels through the bonus spaces in koopas tycoon town, making the cap 27
I like how the term "tool-assisted superplay" has been adopted. I thought it was such a better term when I first heard it
MP6 is not only one of the best in the series but this map allows mayhem!
You like Mario Party 6? Look up "Mario Party 6 portrayed by SpongeBob SquarePants".
I knew it was gonna be that map! Luved Mario party 6

I liked the a hat in time soundtracks in the backround
And then there’s that one kid who says this “actually happened to him”
I feel like I've never heard Fir say "fuck" before but I am here for it
How the heck does he put so much thought into every video and still upload regularly
I was just wondering this question recently
Instantly guessed the map off the name of the video lol. Then I saw the image and knew I had it. God I love MP6.
"The only thing wrong with the car mechanic is that it's an affront to God" Lol. Lmao
Thank you for mentioning Mario Party 8,The best Mario Party Game.
Mario party 8, my beloved childhood game❤
So this is how Yoshi evaded his taxes.
Nice video
So this is how Yoshi committed Tax Evasion...
The only thing wrong with the car mechanic is it's an affront to God.... lol big time with that one
The Gamecube Mario Party games were my favorites.
Calling it now, somebody will figure out how to get 999 stars before the year is out.
If 55 turns was an option, maybe it would be possible to collect 999 stars.
I’d love to see a squeal where you suffer finding the max number ministars in one of the ministar games
imagine running this tas while handing your little brother an unplugged control and telling him he’s playing
Honestly the true thing that matters in the mario party games are the memories you make
RIP Hudson Soft, and the good Mario Party games with them, probably for forever from it looks
Yoshi: *gets 919 Stars and 190 coins in one game*
