    I personally think that party games, especially Mario Party, are underappreciated. Creating a consistently interesting and engaging party game experience is difficult, and I think that the games that do it well deserve more praise. Welcome to the first episode of Mark's Rec Room, where I will be examining party games and how they create a fun experience for everyone. I will be reviewing every Mario Party game, including the handhelds, to discuss how they attempt to create an interesting party game experience. Mario Party 1 is certainly an interesting, albeit rough entry in the series. In this video, we'll be reviewing Mario Party, rating & ranking all of the Mario Party minigames, and talking about all of the boards. Thanks so much for watching, please comment below if you enjoyed the video! :)

    thanks so much for watching! I’m looking forward to talking about each Mario Party game in detail. What’s your favorite minigame from Mario Party 1?

    Happy I stumbled across this can't wait to watch 'em all. As someone whos spend nearly his entire life being way to good at Mario Party, my only disagrees are that Pirahna Pursuit is RIDICULOUSLY easy to win as the 1. I don't think I've ever seen someone lose unless it was on purpose. And Cast Aways I find it very easy to go where you want. I don't quite understand the arguement of finicky controls.

    Great video. Mario Party means a lot to me, so a video series dedicated to it is right up my alley. I remember watching Scott The Woz's video about the game only to be disappointed that most of it was a sketch of him and his (admittedly funny) friends playing a mock board game. So it's nice to watch someone who's actually interested in analyzing everything about the game. As someone who grew up in the Gamecube and Wii era, going back to playing this one is a tough pill to swallow. I can see why some would enjoy just how overly chaotic and random this one is compared to later entries, but to me, this one goes way too far with your overall lack of control and in my eyes is the weakest entry from the Hudson Soft era. I do like its unique ideas though like the selectable items and the bizarre characters and world, and I definitely agree with Yoshi's Tropical Island being the best board. As for my favorite minigame, I've always been fond of Shy Guy Says. It's such a simple concept presented in such a charming way, although I prefer the Mario Party 2 version where losing gets you shot out of the sky instead of being stranded at sea. I also respect seeing a fellow Yoshi main, and let me tell you, as the only person I know who genuinely liked math, the opinionated math system has me thrilled to say the least. You've got something strong going for you, man. I've been watching since the Super Monkey Ball video, and your quality is so high that I'm shocked you don't have at least 1,000 subscribers by now, let alone 100.

      Thanks so much for watching! I really love Mario Party and I’ve always wanted to talk more in depth about each game, so i’m really looking forward to continuing this series. Yeah, Mario Party 1 is just so chaotic and punishing, it’s definitely one of the games that i play the least with friends. Thanks for the comment!! I’m looking forward to continuing this series soon and I hope that you enjoy it!

    I guess shy guy says, slot car derby, and mushroom mix-up.
    Honorable mention to all the games that would be great if they didn't end way too soon, like hot rope jump.

    I want to comment something before watching the video: your StarFox vid got recommended by the almighty algorithm and it was very enjoyable, and now this was recommended. From a quick glance to your channel, I can see you have lots of unique video topics I want to check out. Basically, what I want to say is that your content looks and sounds great, I'll be subscribing after I watch some more videos for sure 👍🏻 your channel has the potential to blow up in numbers so it hopefully does

      @@marksrecroom Let me give you some feedback for this video in particular, I enjoyed watching the minigames section but I didn't notice the score in the bottom right corner until the end, oops. For some reason in mobile, sometimes the profile picture appears in the bottom right corner which can hide some information. I also wasn't paying too much attention to the visual video but still haha just thought of letting you know. Excited to hear you talk about the best Mario Parties aka 2 and 6

    Aren't you being too harsh on these old boards? I'm sure there are people like Peach's Birthday Cake and Wario's Battle Canyon.

      Yeah, Peach's Birthday Cake is one of my favourite boards and I was so happy it got remade in Superstars. I think he just do not like linear boards.
      Wario's Battle Canyon is in my opinion okay. At least it has a unique and interesting theme with the bob omb war.
      All in all I really like that each board in MP1 has a story to tell.
