Probably my least preferred Mario Party of the traditional style (1-8)

A lot of the minigames have a sluggish, janky feeling to the controls that stop them from being as fun. Lots of waiting while someone plays a solo minigame that extend the game's length way longer than needed. All the good minigames are taken and put into the sequel with a cleaner experience.
Most maps have path blockages or hazards that feel out of your control and just make it annoying to take your turn. Weird mushroom hazard space that acts as a "Go Again" or "Miss Your Next Turn" that sucks watching someone get and sucks getting.

Still a great party game though, worth a play with friends
