Mario Party 4 is both the last truly classic Mario Party and the first entry in a new age, and it can feel a bit awkward at times. It features a lot of staples of the OG trilogy, like items, Boo, and the full cast of 3, but the boards are a major step down from 2 and 3 and the items are pretty dull. That said, it has some pretty fantastic minigames and I like its personality.

best mario game on NES (crowd gasp sfx)

I prefer the melancholic setting of the first game but this sequel has some incredible level design

the shot of dopamine i would recieve as a child from expanding my raft or getting a new character rivals most party drugs
