From what I’ve played so far, it is not my favorite mario party on the gamecube, but it definitely has some of the most fair mini games in the series. I’ve only played on the goomba board at the current time, which was a lot of fun, but it also was super difficult to get to the star consistently. All in all, I had a fun time going through that one game and look forward to playing it more.

This game is quite a lot of fun, and I feel like it controls better than some newer mario games in some ways. Something about how the physics in this game work make me feel more at home than what we have now, kind of hard to describe it in a way different than that. I love Isle Delfino and F.L.U.D.D.'s mechanics, they really add a lot to the platforming challenges the game presents you with. I also appreciate the 'secret area' shines, where you have to do platforming without F.L.U.D.D., it almost acts as a test to see if you're relying on F.L.U.D.D. too much. Sure, there are some levels that are less than stellar and blue coins can be a bit tedious to collect, but if you persevere you can get a memorable experience that will make you wish you were visiting Sirena Beach yourself.

Easily one of my favorite 2D mario games. The cape is a really fun power up, I loved the concept of the switch palaces, and the enemies are all really memorable. The level design imo is also great, encouraging exploration and puzzle solving to figure out how to get to new areas. Overall, it is probably my most recommended 2D mario game by far.
