Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

4 was too slow for my taste and I wasn't a fan of the square boards.

Same. The snail's pace ruined it entirely for me. Playing the game became a chore, I thought I'd do all the story modes but I only barely pushed myself to beat Yoshi's to get the Bowser board. I wasn't fond of most of the minigames either, though Booksquirm is one of my favourites across all the games. Mini/Mega gimmick wasn't something I liked, I'm glad that it was just contained to this one game.

I hate the game, my least favourite of all of them. All the others are strewn about somewhere between decent and good. I enjoyed them at least, that's more than I can say for 4.
 
the boards are my second favorite set of the series behind MP1's and I never found the game to be slow, the minigames were also my favorite set by far.

still just an alright game though, Mario Party as a series is just ok
 
I really like Mario Party 4. It's actually hard to say which GCN Mario Party is my least favorite, but it's probably 5 because the capsule system is pretty bad.
 
My favourite Mario Party was this one bonus disk of MP5 minigames that came with a version of MK: Double Dash!! I rented once. Pushy Penguins all the time, tedious board games none of the time.
 
I actually kinda liked Mario Party 9. The minigames were really good but nd cube still hasn't done the board mechanics right.

Another one: I would buy a Mario Party game that's just minigames.
 
The Super Mario 3D Land/World style of platformer is just as valid as it's predecessors
 
I think it's even more valid than the pseudo-collect-a-thon and pseudo-open world than 64 and Sunshine did since the gameplay style stays truer to classic Mario platformers.
 
I agree with you on that but you do get people who treat it like it's a secondary style and not a ''true'' 3D Mario game.
