This is more of an extra video on Mario Party, showing the Option House and the Mini-Game House, including a bonus minigame that can only be unlocked after completing Mini-Game Island.
The first thing I show is the Mushroom Shop, when you have purchased 30 different minigames, you can buy Gameballs, which for 300 coins you can buy a random minigame, the best way to make use of that is to buy all minigames that cost 250 coins or less, the good thing about the Gameballs is that you can even buy minigames that cost 400 coins for 100 coins less, but it is random which minigame you get from it.
The best way to get coins is through Mini-Game Stadium, set all CPUs to Hard, give them a 50 coin handicap, and for 30 turns, once the last turn happens, change all CPUs to players, that way you can get up to 1000 coins per game, repeat this till you can buy 30 minigames.
There are three hidden minigames, they are all the Bumper Ball Maze minigames, the first one is Bumper Ball Maze 1, which is unlocked by completing Mini-Game Island, next is Bumper Ball Maze 2, which is unlocked by completing all 50 minigames on Mini-Game Island, and Bumper Ball Maze 3, which you can unlock by setting new records on both Bumper Ball Maze 1 and 2.
There was one minigame that did not make any appearance in any way, that minigame is Deep Sea Divers, it did appear in Mini-Game Island, but not on any boards I have done. Deep Sea Divers is a two player minigame which is like Treasure Divers, the difference is that one player dives, and the other reels them in when they pick up a treasure chest.
Then I show the Option House, this is where you can listen to music in the game, and there are some that are unlocked after completing Eternal Star and viewing the end credits, and one of my favourite things in the Option House is the Talking Parrot, which you can buy from the Mushroom Shop for 50 coins, and the Talking Parrot will say a quote at random from any character in the game, you have to press A to get a quote you want, you can even keep this up till you hear it say "D'oh I missed" or any other of your favourite quotes in Mario Party.
That is Mario Party done, and it was more of an extra video showing many things this game has, I did really like Mario Party back in the day, that was one of my favourite Nintendo 64 games, because in case you didn't know, the Nintendo 64 is the first video game console I have ever owned, and Mario Party was one of the games I have played on that console, while there were some good games in the series, the first game still remains one of my favourites to this day. Mario Party 2 is on Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online, and you can expect to see some Mario Party 2 videos coming soon, and it did confirm that somewhere in 2023, Mario Party 3 will come to Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online, and this will be the first time Mario Party 3 has ever seen a re-release, because Mario Party 2 is the only N64 Mario Party game that have ever been re-released on Virtual Console. I do wonder if we will ever see Gamecube games come to Nintendo Switch Online, and if they add Mario Party 4 to 7 on there, because there are some good Gamecube games that have never been re-released ever.
