I love this idea and the execution was pretty fun. Making Mario Party minigames into bonus stars is so clever, and the Mario Party 1 boards are fairly diverse so you don't really feel like you're retreading ground in terms of level types.

However, and I'm not sure if this is my computer or settings or what, I kept having minigames crash on me. I couldn't do the one in DK's Jungle Adventure because it wouldn't load, a few of the ones you buy in shops wouldn't load, and probably more I'm forgetting, so I just can't finish this fully. Hell, even the final boss fight with Bowser I couldn't finish because it chose a minigame that wouldn't load.

The palm tree fight was incredible.
