First time guessing!
I'm betting Hard CPU/Wario's got it this round. There's too much bullshit the AI can know to get by ahead of time for this to work out well.

Caught up on this LP after watching the Mario Party Advance one and I'm surprised it took this long for fuses to finally light.

This pleases the Mario Party gods. At least 2 is slightly less bullshit.

Mario Party 3's boards are really lackluster, but the mini games are great. We'll see when it comes.

Can't wait for Western Land and it's overly dense spaces to result in a grand one lap around the map.

It's no fun if all the votes are the same so I'm calling a bullshit win from Luigi this time.

Mario Party 2 comes swinging out the gate with two fistfulls of bullshit!

Dokapon requires a third person at the least, because 1v1 isn't too interesting and the CPU is a blatant cheating bitch.

I dunno. I think your struggles are mostly chalked up to bad luck on the board and unfamiliarity with mini game mechanics. I'd say give it one more board before you're sure.

Also what would you do, have two normal computers or a normal and an easy computer player?

Wario... is gunna win!

Sorry, the minigames really are bullshit with AI around, and the Minigame Coaster is gleaming proof of that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and put me in the camp of those who don't like this map the most. The spaces are too dense and it's difficult to get anywhere if you can't catch the train.

get that OUT of my face posted:

Abandon Ship is a terrible minigame. If you don't mash A at the start, you end up in the water immediately.

And even if you mash perfectly, it's a total crap shoot who wins because you can't out pace the screen scroll, but the AI can just squeeze past out at the very end because gently caress you.

This game is awful on the coaster.

To be fair the stretch of that coaster (only available on hard ) is absolute hell.
First there's honeycomb havoc which you have little control over, then abandon ship which is luck based, THEN sneak and snore which you can only win if the AI suicides, THEN an endurance round of hot rope jump.

And you have to do ALL that poo poo in a row before you can save

So I managed to get Mario Party 2 working in Dolphin.

I wonder if we could get goon games of this working online.

I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a version of project 64 with online capabilities.

Yeah the normal cpu is being really nice to you. Hope the rest of this game was enjoyable now.

Yoshi's gonna take the race, though.

Yeah but you can hold three items in that anyway so it's not too debilitating to just hang on to a key.

You're doing oddly well so far, all things considered.

However I'm going to go out on a limb and guess bullshit happens at the last minute and Normal CPU takes the cake.

I was close. DK had you guys scared for a bit, didn't he?

I hope you plan to intersperse the duel boards between the party boards in MP3. Going through all of one and then all of another can get monotonous.

At least you'll already have everything in 4 right? :v:

On the bright side by the time you get to the real competition you'll both have a lot of familiarity with the mini games.

So I think this game was hot off the heels of Paper Mario, given the general aesthetic of the game and the basic RPG-ish nature of the duel boards. It's a cool mode, nonetheless.
You should totally look over the partner info in-game. It tells you all the little tricks each partner has.

Maybe it's thematic in that you have to display kindness to the rear end in a top hat fish and squids on the board who try to make your life miserable.
