I'm thinking of buying one of these but I don't know whick one is more fun.
The Title is supposed to be Favorite Mario Party.
 
Between 6 & 7 definitely 6. But of those you have in the poll I'd recommend 5 or 6.

MP3 has the best item system in the series and thus perhaps very interesting board gameplay but the Minigames are left to be desired. MP4 has fun minigames but all the boards are pretty bland in design and the Mega and Mini mushroom being like the most common items gets boring. And Mario Party 7 is just when the series started going downhill for me. Both MP5 & MP6 IMO have at least decent experiences in both Minigames and Board Gameplay.

Choose MP5 if you like the more traditional Mario Party style of collecting stars being on all boards and/or you don't mind that the Capsule system can be quite random and you can land on your own traps.

Choose MP6 if you don't mind some changes to the traditional formula in most of the maps and you'd rather have a capsule system that is less likely to backfire on you.
 
Get 6
 
In my experience Mario Party 6 felt like the best party package. Unlike 7, the orbs felt substantial in its usage, although a point goes into 7's favour for character-specific orbs and certain orbs. It's true that Mario Party 7 has its own forms of uniqueness like 8-player gameplay, but it's only worthwhile if there are 5+ people.

On an unrelated note: I thought it was interesting that Windmillville did the "property-buying" feature of the board first. I thought that board feature was original to Mario Party 8's Koopa's Tycoon Town.

Thanks for reading.
 
For me, I always played 7 a little bit more frequently than 6 because It was the first party game I got for the GCN so this could be a little unbiased.

7 has a very fun mode which 6 doesn't have (8-player mode), if you have like a party at home, this could be interesting. The Day and Night system in 6 is very good, however the courses are not that varied from each other. 7 has a pretty solid and diverse selection of courses and ideas. The minigames are great in both games, I slightly prefer 6 though, because they are more varied and because the day and night system.

They are both great games, I can't decide.
 
It,s been a long-ass time since I've played any MP, but I remember thinking 6 was the best at the time. I thought 7 had weaker minigames and the gimmick-based boards hurt the flow.
