Mario Party: Island Tour

Characters in the Mario Party series are always coming and going, but DK seems to have been removed from the roster for good. It's too bad 'cuz I loved playing as him in the first games. ;~;

Actually, Mario Party 9 started this trend

Uh, no. DK was removed from the roster in the fifth installment, Koopa Kid (and some others) were added. Koopa Kid was removed in the seventh installment, Birdo and Dry Bones were added, and so on. This has been occurring before 9.

My cousin had this game and we played it.

It's really bad. I would advise not getting it.

Most of the minigames suck (and there isn't really any objective as you just race to the end based on the luck of the role)

Thanks for your wisdom.

I'm kinda disappointed with the boards themselves. Most of them are pretty short and feature nothing interesting.

"Perilous Palace Path" is very luck-based with the items, and some of them are kinda cheap, like the "Chaos Kamek" item. "Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain", "Rocket Road" and "Kamek's Carpet Ride" are all ridiculously short, to the point where a game in Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain is over in less than ten minutes. Kamek's board is also pretty bland, and even though it is split into two "sections", it's still a small board. At least the card gimmick allows you slightly more control over the amount of spaces you move. The one board I really liked was "Star-Crossed Skyway", since it is one of the bigger boards and has more to it than the others. I haven't played the "Shy Guy's Shuffle City" board.

As for Rosalina's appearance in Rocket Road, it seems they included her there just for the sake of including her, since all she does is clap for the character who wins the board. I was expecting a much bigger role for her than just standing there, watching the characters.

Stupid Rosalina fanservice

 

[Xiahou Dun]

You mean there aren't any Rosalina spaces-that-replace-Donkey-Kong-spaces-which-can-make-Donkey-Kong-playable-again and Rosalina isn't the host of the game?

You fail, Island Tour.

I haven't played the "Shy Guy's Shuffle City" board.

Trust me it's terrible.

It's like old maid meets mario party.

It ended in 10 minutes or so when we played.

Crud, so the only remotely good board is Star-Crossed Skyway...
