Yeah, that should be fine. So, 8pm, join to watch (and stream) Dean and Glen killing each other, then after we'll fight to the death, using turtles. ghosts, bombs, rocks... and whatever Shy Guys are. That sounds about right... Also, I'm here posting this now, meaning I've read all the posts, so I should be joining... on time, though I can be deliberately late if you like, for continuity. Cue Luigi's laugh... "Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... heh-haha!" Edited January 19 by S.C.G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Thanks for playing. Here's a link to this week's stream... Mario Party 3 on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack - N-Europe Multiplayer (19/01/2024) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 The first match was basically decided almost immediately and wouldn't bloody end, and the second match ended on Turn 4! 17 hours ago, Glen-i said: This board sucks. I'll be amazed if both matches are close. I hate it when I'm right about things like this... Mr. Mover, man... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 So I mentioned this over chat, but we'll be doing the final Duel board next time. Trust me, you don't want our marathon to end on this board. Because if you thought Mr. Mover was bad? Then you ain't ready for... Backtrack ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! That description is perfect enough, but for you newcomers out there. The gimmick here are the recoloured Backwards Spaces. Instead of making you roll a dice to go backwards, these ones flat out reverse the direction of travel permanently (Or until someone lands on another Backwards Space) This also swaps the position of your partners. Getting Whomp here is going to really suck. Also note the complete lack of junctions. That means you have absolutely no way to influence where you go or land, making this board almost entirely luck based! Now, here's who's rolling the dice with who. @Glen-i VS @S.C.G @BowserBasher VS @Dcubed Now, Dcubed's not available next week, so we'll be taking a sabbatical from our marathon for now. Unless I can rope in @darksnowman for a friendly battle royale match next Friday? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Right, @S.C.G and @BowserBasher, we should be good to go tonight at 8pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Two great mini games between myself (Mario) and @Dcubed (Wario) just now in our games. Results to come later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Man, that Tick Tock Hop! Absolutely nerve wracking, and I wasn't even playing! Can't say the same for the actual board. BowserBasher won through total skill, except for 95% of the time when it was pure luck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(busy day) it looks like some of the games still went ahead though, so that's good. When did you want to play @Glen-i ? Probably too late for tonight now, I'd have thought. Depends though... was the match between Dean and Simon a quick one because of the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry, far too late by the time I noticed your post. It's fine, we can do it next week. Anyway, as I'm sure you're aware, Duel Mode varies wildly in time. Backtrack is pretty notable because the lack of junctions means you have pretty much no influence on where you go. So who knows how long it'll take? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 OK, @S.C.G. 8pm. And then you'll realise why Backtrack is the worst board in Mario Party history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Hooray! The most amount of coins held by any player in all of our games. (602) Pity I still almost lost! A massive lead, and then I couldn't do anything for 12 turns. Backtrack sucks. The game was good, but Backtrack still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 That last Happening space had a Swap Positions which would have completely changed the outcome. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Welp, here we are. 27 boards done, and we're here for the final N64 one! You thought it'd be a Bowser themed one? Well, too bad, Waluigi Time! Waluigi's Island This board is chaotic! Very fitting for Waluigi, there's a lot going on. So I'll go through each thing of note. The first thing is Dynamite Island on the bottom of the board. It's quite similar to the Coin Beam in Mario Party 2's Space Land. The countdown begins on 5 and goes down every time someone lands on a Happening Space on the island. When that reaches 0, it blows up and anyone on that circle will lose ALL OF THEIR COINS! Be very careful when traversing this place. It would be relatively easy to leave this place if it wasn't for the next gimmick... Right above Dynamite Island, there's the Junction Roulette. When you try to leave Dynamite Island, you'll be forced into Action Time. Each arrow will flash clockwise and the one you land on is the direction you'll go. The speed at which the arrows cycle is random. And yes, you can go back down on to Dynamite Island. Here's the trick though, it can be timed. Press A right when the arrow you want is lit up, and you'll land on it every time! This can be tricky if it goes really fast, but remember this, it's a huge help! At the top right of the board, near Boo, there's a bizarre junction, when you get there, you can choose which path to take. There's a 50% chance that you'll fall into a booby trap, and get sent back to the start. This makes going to Boo an unreliable tactic. Don't count on it too much. Finally, there's the island on the top left. Notice how, apart from the Bank space, it's all red spaces? Well those spaces change every turn! They could be blue! They could be Battle Spaces! They could be Game Guy! This island is chaos incarnate! To get on to the island you have to use one of those bridges. Only one is down at a time, and which one is down changes when someone lands on a Happening Space near a bridge. Oh, and just a final note. Going into any red pipe will take you to the green pipe near the start. Phew, a lot to take in there. Mushrooms and Golden Mushrooms will help you get through dangerous areas quickly, while Reverse Mushrooms can get you back on track if the Junction Roulette messes you up. Skeleton Keys aren't very great, as the gates are a bit situational. Warp Block, on the other hand, is dangerous. It's awkward to get around, and a well timed Warp Block can really ruin someone's play. I don't know when @Dcubed will be available next week, so we'll see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Yo! Guys! (@S.C.G, @BowserBasher, @Glen-i) If we're gonna be playing MP3 this week, can we make it happen on Thursday or Saturday? I'm working this Friday. If it absolutely has to be Friday though, it'll have to be from around 21:30 onwards.

Thursday after MK can mean it may go on a bit later than I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
