@Zach The Wolf I think I've seen 26. I don't remember what video exactly I saw it in, but it was one from The Runaway Guys. It might have been a later game, though. They have done _a lot_ of Mario Party X3

Yeah, just testing something out for future stuff.
My friends: what are you doing today
me: watching a guide on a game i don't own
The best use of your time.
Mood af
Random totally useless gaming knowledge clan, UNITE! Or untie, if you happen to be dyslexic of course.
Yes.
Memorizing which star spaces have been used is basically the card counting of Mario Party, I love it.
Absolutely!
you have summoningsalt energy. never played mario party. never will. why am i so interested?
I forgot who that was until I clicked on a video of his because you mentioned his name. He has this way to get you invested into a topic you didn't give much thought before, so I'm flattered at the comparison!
@@zoomzike I agree with Crowe, I loved this explanation of how a game works and how to win the game, but I will never play it. SummoningSalt does amazing videos about speed running and shit, I'm not interested in speed runs (kind of got into watching a few videos to see how they did it after watching his videos) but his videos are entertaining,
Is this a genre now. We need more of them.
perfect way to phrase it
I don't have the game, let alone any friends.
I like how Bowser is literally just selling his products on the boards
Man doing busniess
I would suggest changing the title to "Identifying Luck: Mario Party 1" so as to not have people think you're doing a full series overview in this video which could be the case since it is an hour and 34 minutes long
I'll consider it if multiple people have the same suggestion, the thumbnail has the logo for the original Mario Party so if that ends up not being enough then I'll respond back here to let'cha know that I changed the title, thanks for the advice!
Edit: "The title is now "Identifying Luck: Mario Party 1", thanks for the feedback everyone!
I agree, I expected all MP games.
I mean, he says "original Mario Party" within the first 15 seconds. Easy to miss if you're doing something in the background or just not paying attention, but I don't think it's all that bad.
@@zoomzike before I watched the other video, I thought this one was an overview of the whole series, since you could've chosen the original Mario Party logo because it doesn't have a number and the 6 minute intro video could've been just a very condensed version/thesis.
@@zoomzike i also thought this. the 1 is really not that much alteration to the title and it makes it a lot more clear.
"Single player minigames are easy" Shows minigame responsible for giving me stigmata as a child.

There was actually a glove that nintendo power offered to prevent palm burn. You had to trace your hand and mail it in as well as provide proof that you owned the game. We tried to get one for my brother, but I don't think we got it in in time or something.

YES YOU DID!!
@@zoomzike I did
Me too! Very nice
@@jayv9070 very epic, very cool!

Man, just watching the first bit and I can already tell how much work went into this. I hope this video performs well, I'll definitely share it with my viewers to help you out!
It'd probably do better if it was released around the time Super Mario Party released, so any help in spreading is REEEEEEEALLY appreciated, thanks dude!
Well the view count is already 7 times higher the subscriber count.
I'd say it did well... But not well enough to get those viewers to subscribe for more...
man this video most of tool like months
Never thought while rewatching the whole series for the 5th time I'd find this comment
Identifying Luck: Introduction - 6 minutes
Identifying Luck: Mario Party 1: - *1 hours and 34 minutes*
Yeah pretty muuuuuuuuuch.
@@zoomzike Wow, wasn't expecting you to respond to my comment, especially not so quickly. I'm loving your videos man, I joined from your City Escape video, and I've been subscribed ever since!
@@Cute___E I tend to be pretty good when it comes to comments, so you can count on my replies for the most part (at least for the beginning of threads!) I'm glad you enjoy my stuff! I really appreciate it!

Flip a coin.
On it's side, both.

its easy if you use your palms 👍 pain and coins garanteed
I don't know why I just listened to a guy talk how to game Mario Party for over an hour but it was strangely satisfying.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@zoomzike you have that sort of Bob Ross type voice that makes all the girls and gays swoon.

Me: Fun fact, that one Mario Party minigames goes at 282BPM
Now if only you had a 282 bpm device on you at all times!
ZoomZike google offers a metronome
Bro this is insane. Great research, video and editing, you're a committed mad man thanks for this
Just wait until the other six come out, thanks for the kind words!
@@zoomzike wait what about Mario party 8?
"Most of these mini games are EASY!"
*shows Pedal Power AKA Palm Destroyer*
*PALM BURNERRRRRRR!!*
I don't know about you, but after weeks of playing those games, my palms are made out of iron now.
My siblings and I broke several N64 joysticks on this game!!!
The Shy Guy minigame...fucking hell.
I've had lots of games kick my ass, but Mario Party's the only one to literally draw blood.
Yeah i have lots of troble with that minigame
I find it makes a huge difference in "Cast Aways" if you're the farthest player on the right. The sweet spot for chests is just a fraction of a second after they enter the screen, and you always have first crack at them. Easy to rack up huge totals.
Oh yeah, the only reason I didn't mention that is because multiple treasure chests pass by at a time, so you can't hog alllllllllllll of them. It's still a great spot though.
"no amount of player input on either end of the steal will increase or reduce the amount of coins stolen"
my button mashing was for nothing?
Apologize to your controller for me.
Me: Algebra is useless
Also me: [Watches this video even though I'll most likely never play this Mario Party.]
Go tell your Algebra teacher what it's really being used for.
This was absolutely excellent. I feel like I'm ready for MLG Mario Party now.
I used to play MP1 on an almost daily basis with my brother when we where kids, only ever stopping because we needed time to heal after carving crater sized flesh pits in our palms (Tug 'o War was serious business!).
I actually think MP1 is one of the better MP games out there to this day. Naturally there's a lot of nostalgia talking here, but I also think the minigames where simple in a good way (although some of the 1v3 minigames are kinda bullshit...), and the boards all have both nice visual themes and gimmicks that sets them apart. It also feels more like a competition than many of the later entries do, despite having random elements like they all do (perhaps due to the ability to lose coins during minigames, thus making them feel more consequential).
I'm glad they removed the stick spinning minigames after this one, though. So many controllers sacrificed...
I'm not entirely against losing coins in minigames, I just with there was an option to turn that off and on.
Glad you enjoyed!
11:32 don't think I didn't catch that conjunction junction joke
Thought I could slip it by!
conjuntion junction; What's your function?~
3:59 “What? You actually thought I’d give you 10,000 Mini Stars?”
The chaos that would ensue if Bowser actually followed through with those yellow text options...
@@zoomzike But what if Bowser gave 1 pitty coin?
@@wariolandgoldpiramid I would still be happy. What? It's better than nothing.
Me: a video analyzing how luck based mario party games are as a whole?
Reality: WIN
Well it's just the first one for this video but I'm glad you enjoyed nonetheless.
For Mushroom mixup, I think you can cheese it with a ground pound once it gets going real fast. The midair twirl actually lasts longer than the platforms stay underwater.
Ground pounds make me nervous because of how much time you spend on the ground afterwards.
A favorite strategy is to squish someone with a ground-pound when everyone's on the center mushroom and the other mushrooms are coming back up, because the direction of the bounce-back won't matter when all the mushrooms are there to catch you, and your squishing might stall that player from reaching the next mushroom in time...?
As someone who has literally never played any Mario Party game ever, this was fascinating & I loved every second of it. The amount of time & effort that must have gone into this is mind-boggling. It is a CRIME that you don't have more subscribers. Thanks for the awesome content.
Mario Party is a series definitely worth investing time in, especially if you have friends!
Thanks for all the kind words!
1:09:26 - 1:09:47 ← That part of the video reminds me of trickle-down economics.
Glad Mario Party taught you some economic terms.
We should privatize the fire department.
11:34 I love how you can just _barely_ hear a tiny laugh after the "junctions function" rhyme.
Having your coins taken away from you if you lose at certain mini-games is something I wish they'd bring back in later releases. It REALLY adds to the tension when you know you have something to lose instead of just something to win
FromHerotoZero yes, but it should be an option in case you don’t want it
@@lextatertotsfromhell7673 That would be the best of both worlds!
@@FromHerotoZeroYT Agreed! They should have an option for it.

This is a very well constructed analysis and walkthrough of Mario Party. I’m surprised that you don’t have that many subscribers with this quality content. Can’t wait until the next Identifying Luck.
I'm not the best at spreading my content around for more people to see it, here's hoping xD
Thanks!
This is one of the best videos I've seen this year. It's like a trip to my childhood (MP3 to be more exact, but I still get some nostalgia with any other MP game), and the fact that you described and showed every single map, minigame and some trivia as a bonus, it's perfectt!
I'm looking forward to the next videos in this series because I really really dig MP stuff
They'll all be out by the end of the year, glad you're looking forward to them!
I'm insanely excited for the Mario Party 5 episode, my friends and I have been playing it a lot and we can really push our games to the next level with this
It'll take a couple months to get there, you won't be disappointed!
8:37 "Easy"
>Pedal power
The stigmata on my hand says otherwise.
Crazy how it got so bad that Nintendo had to respond to all of the complaints!
@@zoomzike Didn't they make an attachment for the controllers when players hurt their hands spinning the control stick? Or was it something else? I remember they changed something on a controller when people complained..
Two years late to this video, but this is one of the most detailed and fun videos I've ever watched. I applaud the effort you've gone through to create this and all your videos!! Thank you for this!😻
Mushroom Mix Up gets insane if you and one other can survive, because it eventually gets so fast that you don't even need to be on the correct color, just make sure you are in the air while the mushrooms are down.
I should've mentioned that, cool info.

Amazing watch. I feel like I learned so much about a game I thought I already knew almost everything about! Seriously worth the full watch, and looking forward to Mario Party 2!
I actually learned a bunch about this game throughout the course of making the video, there were a lot of details just waiting to be uncovered! Glad you enjoyed, Mario Party 2's gonna be a blast!
I really appreciate these videos. listening to video essays really helps me with my anxiety, helps provide me with constant thinking points as I go throughout my day, so thank you.
aside from my personal thanks, you seriously deserve more views, man. the sheer effort you put into writing alone deserves more credit, much less the time it would take to edit and put a video of this length together.
I can empathize with listening to video essays, good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as you did, thanks for the kind words!
You're telling us to make sure to have some coins or stars before landing on spaces as if we ever had any control in this game.
You have control in the minigames most of the time.
But what if you are playing with Mario party gods?
I never knew I wanted this video so much! This is a gold mine of in-depth content about my favourite MP ever.
Amazing work!
Thanks!!
Amazing video! As a kid, I thought I knew everything there is to know about the game, but it seems that there was far far more stuff that I didn't know about. Watched the entire video and loved every bit of it
Glad you enjoyed it so much!!
Same here! I actually didn't know stuff like the dice being predetermined,
This is one of my favorite games of all time and I really thought I saw and knew everything about it before I came across that video. Thank you so much for this amazing piece, I really can't wait for the next installments!
No problem, glad you're looking forward to more!
Hey dude. Amazing video, I can´t imagine the amount of time it took on editing alone.
I´m looking forward for the rest of the series!
It took a LONG time. Thanks!!
This is the exact kind of video I have been loving lately. I look forward to listening to this and the next while working on other stuff
Subscribed for this video and this video alone. Not enough people analyse Mario Party on the internet to this detail. Looking forward to future editions in this series!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Quality content. This is one of those things you’d always assumed someone documented in video form already but here we are. Look forward to the rest whenever they may be
Thank you! Mario Party 2's video will be out by the end of this week and everything else will be out by the end of this year.
Wonder why this is getting popular all of a sudden. :o I'm glad it did though, since that's how I found it! Very detailed video - and surprisingly engaging.
Here are a few tidbits that can help a little more... Apologies in advance if I missed them being mentioned in the video, or if comments brought them up!
-In Piranha's Pursuit, there are vines at the top. The skating player can jump into these vines for a little boost. I dunno if it actually gives them any more room for error, but it looks impressive.
-In Wario's Battle Canyon, pause buffering can help you land on exactly the space you want while the target is randomly moving around them. Pause as soon as the target moves. If it's the space you want, unpause and immediately press A. If not, unpause briefly, then pause as soon as it moves again. ...Of course, this might be seen as cheating, especially if you're playing with other humans. It also takes some practice.
-Without pause buffering, you can still have a little bit of influence. Your reflexes most likely aren't fast enough to press A while the target is on a specific space... but you might be able to press A when the target has moved to a second space, but before it moves to a third space. So, if there's a particular space you really *don't* want to end up on, press A as soon as you see the target on that space. By the time you've reacted, it will have moved away from that space. ...Though if you're too slow, the target might also move to a third space by the time you press A - and it *could* easily be the same space that you're trying to avoid. That said, if you're fast enough even 1 time out of 5, it improves your odds of avoiding said space.
I was wondering about its spike in popularity too. I think it's because CZcams promoted some of my other videos so it's making rounds to a few older ones.
I did forget about those vines in Piranha's Pursuit, my bad!
I'm not sure how optimal it is to pause during Wario's Battle Canyon, but that would've been a good tip to mention as well, even if it bugs the heck out of whoever you're playing with.
Glad you enjoyed!!
I’ve been playing the Mario party series sense I was 4 and I’ve learned many strategies and probability’s throughout the games but this video answered questions even I had. This nostalgic trip and informative video has gotten me hooked on your channel, hope to see more!
I answered some of my own questions making this video so I'm glad I did it. Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for such an indepth video on one of my childhood favourites! It is fascinating to learn about things and hidden rules that I never knew about even after playing it for years! Looking forward to watching the rest of the set!
And, to add further compliment, even though the video is over an hour long I never felt it overstayed it's welcome. On contrary: It was entertaining AND educational, well done!
Thank you so much for all of the kind words!!
Got this video recommended to me and i'm so glad it was. Great content!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
This deserves more views for the amount of detail alone.
Thanks!
This was the most in-depth dive into Mario Party I've ever seen, and I spent a few months just mapping star spaces in my free time. I can't wait for the rest of them. It'll be the most comprehensive guide to the series out there.
That's the plan. Thanks a bunch!
Damm some good memories playing this game with my buddies and siblings
Also the agruments fighting for the "good" controller lol
There's always one controller above the rest...
59:38 gotta love Luigi shaking the white flag as if saying “I meant this one! I swear!!!”
XD
you emit the same energy summoning salt and EZscape have. interesting and well done vid, you earned my sub and like 👌
After having watched a summoning salt video recently, I'm glad to hear that! Thanks!!
I didn't even play any Mario Party aside from the one for DS, but the throughness, editing and explanation kept me hooked. Great job, and I'll wait for when you'll do the DS one :D
I just rewatch this series over and over, I love it sooo much. It’s like you are a close friend but not in a creepy way lol
i know most of the tips, if not all, in this video by just playing the game for years, but for some reason just listening to you talk about every detail is just cool and relaxing, maybe it's just the way you explain everything
And reading all the corrections in the comments has also been enlightening for me!
I can empathize with that. Glad you feel that way!
you don't hate chance time, you *fear* it.
I must say in terns of board dynamics and strategys this game has probably the best boards.
A remake of this game would be very cool
There's tons of other strategies for other boards I'll get to, so we'll see about that!
You... kinda got your wish? At least one of the boards is being remade.
I mean most of the boards here are pretty underwhelming. It very much has first game syndrome for most of these boards(with Wario's Battle Canyon and Peach's Birthday Cake both being pretty crap for different reasons, the former is one of the worst Mario Party boards period lol.)
The board designs are generally very basic here though and not having any items to work with hurts them quite a bit and hinders a lot of strategic play in favor of RNG being the main decider.
It doesn't help that a number of these boards have had their gimmicks done again except better on account of them being in games where items were present, like Peach's Birthday Cake being done better with Pagoda Peak in 7 and Goomba's Booty Boardwalk in 8, Mario's Rainbow Castle being worse than Castaway Bay in 6 and Luigi's Engine Room being done better as Woody Woods in 3
Oh man, this video made me quite nostalgic for this game! I played it with my brother and cousin all the time. We really loved the peach cake and yoshi island boards. The board I remember heavily disliking was the luigi engine room board.
Great video!
I tend to analyze a minigame now and then for best/worst outcome, to see how to make the best of it, but this is so thorough, I'm amazed! Nice!
Thanks!!
I love these kinds of videos, and you're doing an absolute killer job at it as well! I can't wait to watch and/or fall asleep to every single one of these you release, lol. Very nice to listen to. It's sort of like Pannenkoek, but with Marioparty! Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much for all the kind words! I really appreciate it!
That perfect victory in Whack-a-Plant was the best way to finish the in-depth look at _all_ of the mini-games in this game. Great display of skill and one of the highest possible amounts of coins you can win in _any_ mini-game, ever, followed by that oh-so-sweet Perfect Victory/New Record jingle! Even 20 years on, that jingle is still my favourite one in the _entire_ series. Nothing says "You've completely mastered this mini-game!" or "Best team effort ever!" (or even, "We just royally screwed the poor sap on the Bowser Space!" in the case of Bowser's Face Lift) quite like it!
EDIT: I honestly had *no* idea that the "perfect victory" jingle could even be _heard_ in Whack-a-Plant until I saw this video. Even back when I played that mini-game and somehow managed to get all 36 coins in it, I swear I only heard the regular "solo victory" jingle.
It really was the perfect way to close it off, I hope the last minigame for the other titles are just as fitting!
me, who has never played a mario party game and doesnt plan on doing so any time soon: yeah this seems like a GREAT thing to watch at 1am!
Gonna say it in the first MP video since it's currently playing. I've been straight up playing the whole "Identifying Luck" playlist for sleep ambience because your voice is oddly soothing.
This an extremely in-depth analysis that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thank you so much for putting in the work to do this. Being the nerd that I am, I did spot at least a couple of errors, and will make corrections on this comment if I spot an error. I will edit as I rewatch.
1:48 The coins stolen are actually 1-20, though in my experience the coins stolen tend to lean towards less than 10 more frequently than more.
4:00 I have NEVER seen the cursor land on these in MP1, either on my game or on video. Though infrequent, I've seen it happen regularly on 2 or 3, but until I see it happen on 1 myself, I contend that it is impossible. If anyone has footage of this occurring on MP1 please show me in a comment reply. I'd love to see it.
12:08 Actually, while this is the only MP1 board to feature multiple Boos, multiple boards in MP2 have multiple Boos, as well. Off the top of my head, I know Space Land and Bowser Land have 2 Boos, and that Horror Land has 4 (2 day and 2 night), plus a Big Boo spot at night that behaves differently from the others. Adding to the madness, the 2 nighttime Boos in Horror Land are actually quite close to each other, so a lucky player(or a clever one using items) can get him twice in 1 turn.
15:28 Peach's Birthday Cake isn't sweet. I hate it. No, I'm not salty that last time I played it I got stuck in the upper right corner on back to back lottery tries. I'm not. OK, maybe I am. My tears make the formerly sweet board salty. My bad.
16:27 The player going first is not necessarily at an advantage, because the lottery doesn't reset until every seed is drawn. If the first player gets Bowser, then the three Toads have to be drawn before Bowser can be drawn again. So the chances of each player getting screwed on the first cycle is equal.
18:24 It's worth mentioning here that, regardless of game length, it's better to get a plant early in the game than late. It stays there until it steals a star, so if nobody lands on it, it's wasted coins. NEVER buy a plant near the end of a game unless you have loads of money to burn or are desperate for a steal to have a chance to win at all. Load up on them early and then go for the coin star toward the end.
30:05 There are 3 junctions you pay with, but the one on top that you circled is the Bowser vs Boo one that you don't pay with. The third junction is in the right side of the winding path.
35:20 Uhh... how did they tie? I'm pretty sure ties are impossible for dice rolls in this game. Emulator glitch?
35:43 MP4 has nine 1 vs 3 minigames. MP1 has by far the fewest 2 vs 2 games, not 1 vs 3.
42:40 In my experience, faster mashing means faster movement. This is evidenced by the fact that I move noticeably faster than AI in this game. The quicker you can get to places, the better your chances of victory.
44:17 These numbers tell you how many times you can hit the block, but at the end of this game, your coins earned in board game play are actually reduced to half of what you collected in the minigame. Minigame Island is the exception, as it's the very first level so it has to be easy. Otherwise, it would take an above average performance to even net 10 coins, which is undesired in an easy opening level.
53:12 Again, if someine has footage of any AI losing this minigame, I'd love to see it, because I have never seen this happen, not even on the easy difficulty.
56:10 Even though the music stops at a random time, you can hold the control stick directly towards the center while the music is playing at no penalty. This will let you start your movement to the chest on frame 1 regardless of music timing. I wish this game got a remake that penalized you for doing this because it's so cheap. LOL
58:21 Worth mentioning: If you have the bulb and all 3 teammates are possessed, either make a beeline for the socket if it is visible or let a player take the bulb from you and then IMMEDIATELY punch that same player. Put yourself between the player you are giving it to and the big Boo so that the possessed player keeps walking in your direction, making it easier for you to punch them. Remember: Only Boos can possess you, not possessed players. Also, if you want a certain player to lose coins in board game play and you start with the bulb, then commit suicide at the start. It's hilarious.
58:42 Actually, players caught by the big Boo do not earn coins for a successful run, but they don't lose any either, unlike if the bulb is lost.
1:12:06 Worth mentioning: If it looks like certain sides are getting sudden bursts of strength, guess what, they are. The river ebbs and flows alternately to the left and right over the course of the game. Getting a feel for this may help influence when you rotate harder and save a little skin, pain, and plastic.
1:21:17 The middle chest in the 3rd row is worth 5 coins, not 3, so if the opponent gets the big 10 coin chest, this is your next biggest target.
1:26:12 Uh Mario whut is u doin?
1:32:26 Actually, the coins DO count even if you fall, it's just that falling is worth -5 coins, so a bag plus a fall is worth a net change of 0 coins. A bag, 2 coins, and a fall is worth 2 coins. A fall and coin is -4 coins, and so on.
It's been a long time since I played Eternal Star, but maybe the tie restriction is only on player-versus-player die rolls? The real emulator glitch I noticed was the number failing to decrease as characters walked, unless that was a cheat used to make players walk farther for more map footage.
With the amount of detail in these things, the five and a half hour Mario party three video will be GRAND!!
Future ZoomZike comin' in here, it's topped off at just a little over 3 hours.
this was very relaxing and interesting at the same time. i got sucked in and didnt notice how far i was into the video. great work comrade!
Cant wait for the rest of the videos, your analysis is awesome
Thanks!
I need more of this series!
You'll get more!
I love how you keep saying "try to land on X", like we'd have a choice on most boards.
Great channel with a big passion about my favourite games.
Wish you success in the future!
Thanks, will do!
Oooh, I watched this 4 years ago on a different account! Really happy you made this a series, I needed more long form content to save me from short form brain rot. ❤
OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES. I'm so glad this was put in my recommended vids. I love your narration style. I can imagine analysis videos like this take FOREVER to make, but I seriously cannot fucking WAIT for the rest of this series. Thanks for doing this.
At least for where I'm at right now, it seems like the titles after this first one won't take as long to complete because there's a template to go off of for them. Which is good! I'm glad you're looking forward to them!
Fantastic video! Mario Party should be the next big e-sport
That'd be REALLY fun to commentate!
...I've never even played Mario Party, why am I listening to this lol
Still, simply explained and useful video :)
I find it funny that someone could listen to someone talk about a game like this having never played it. I'm almost flattered that you listened! Thanks!
@@zoomzike hey man. I'm doing the same, while modeling a soap shoe for my new character. Never played Mario party, u make gud content
Thanks for this amazing analysis of Mario Party! Now I'm more prepared when I finally get the game!
I love you man, thank for putting in the effort to figure out this stuff, look forward to the next part
Glad you enjoyed and are looking forward to the rest!
Idk what it is about you, but I could listen to you for hours. Definitely subscribing to you.
Thank you!
Gonna rewatch this series again because it’s fantastic and I can’t express my immense appreciation for the time and effort it must’ve taken to make these videos
Half an hour in. Very impressed with the detail you put into this mate. Subscribed!
Thanks!
I don't have a clue of how I ended up here but if I've watched the first 51:07 minutes might as well see it all through the end. Nice video, never played Mario Party 1 but it is helping me get an idea of how this game works
The original Mario Party isn't the _greatest_ game but it does have its moments, so I'm glad I helped you learn how it works. Thanks for the kind words!
1:10:53 Mario gettin' a good sniff down there
_STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP_
Thank you for the video, I'm already 20 minutes in! Love what you do!
No problem, really appreciate it!
Amazing video! Learned a lot more about the inner workings of MP1 thanks to this!
One thing I want to add: In Desert Dash, if (for whatever reason) none of the players does anything after a while, the game will eventually end in a draw.
Ahhhhh, I didn't know that. Thanks!
there's something very compelling about these longform videos explaining a game in depth. it just vibes.
This is basically a how to "cheat" at mario party, and I love this a lot, subscribed and liked. Cannot wait for the others!
Basically! Thanks!!
Loved this video, can't wait for the rest of the series. The next one gets me excited as it's my favorite mario party that I played too much of as a kid
It's out if you haven't seen it already!
@@zoomzike I've been watching it in chunks.
Absolutely fascinating video. Can't wait for the rest
Thanks!!
What drives people to making analysis videos that are over an hour! Shits awesome
Lots of love for a game that doesn't seem to be getting enough of it.
Also salt from getting unlucky in said game...lots of salt.
Glad you enjoyed!
Poke Dude making a series
Someone hwo does a 1 and a half hour breakdown of mario party deserves more than 11k subs. That's some quality content right here. Hope your channel takes off.
Glad you think so, it really means a lot.
Wow, this is such a great analysis of one of my favorite games. You’ve definitely earned a sub!
Thanks!!
I am 11 minutes in and I just want to say that you did a *damn* good job with this video!
2 minutes later I found out that this is an hour and 34 minute analysis on Mario Party one *ALONE* and not the entire series. Even better! Looking forward to Mario Party 2!
Yup! Six more to go by the end of the year. Glad you enjoyed!
I haven't played a mario party game since 2007 and this video was so entertaining that it makes me want to play again.
Go for it!
The single most comprehensive game analysis video ever released. And 7 more on the way
Absolutely mental
I'll be completely exhausted of Mario Party by the end of them all...
Thanks though!
I really enjoyed this. Can't wait to watch the rest! Great game doc.
Thanks!
Very awesome video! Looks like so much work went into this and it shows, I loved it! (found the video via NBC) Good work and earned my subscription!
Thanks!! I really need to let him know how appreciative I am, where did he share this video if I may ask?
@@zoomzike I promoted it in both my discord and on my community tab for the channel. I hope this video picks up traction!
I gave up the video since I only played Mario Party 4 onward
Then I watched the Introduction video
And then I subscribed and will watch every last one
Glad you enjoyed!
