Super Mario Party

It seems like different games jump around from making Luigi mute like Mario or giving him dialogue. You'd think since mainline Mario games like Super Mario Galaxy and Odyssey have Luigi talk in full sentences, that he would do that everywhere. Oh well.

Is just a small token to make people think communism actually works.

Mario also used to talk in full sentences (see Mario's Picross, Mario 64, and Mario Sunshine), but the Mario RPGs seemingly removed his ability to speak (looking at you, Paper Jam). Outside of some third-party games like Fortune Street, Mario has largely stayed silent since 2002.

It really doesn't make sense.

Luigi's all the more confusing because, outside of the M&L games, he's spoken in full sentences a lot of the time. Mario Odyssey, released last year, had Luigi speaking in full sentences. No reason to change that now.

How would Paper Jam have removed his ability? He never spoke in the M&L RPGs, and he didn't for Paper Mario, either. Not to mention Paper Jam was only released three years ago, which doesn't really fit that whole 2002 thing.

What's interesting in Paper Mario's case, though, is Luigi has spoken in Paper Mario. Specifically, The Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario. I can't speak for Sticker Star or Color Splash on that front, but even in the RPGs Luigi is no stranger to speaking.

Fortune Street made it evident that text speech for Mario works just fine. It doesn't look weird to have him talk there and he has a unique dialect. But then, I still think if he did actually talk in text boxes in a main series Mario game there would be a huge debacle over it for no reason. After all, just look at how everyone reacted to Mario's nipples...
 
Yeah Luigi talks in colour splash. Not sticker star but in that game he's just a hidden extra.

I pointed out Paper Jam because, even though Mario never really talked in any prior RPGs, Paper Jam made it downright obvious that Mario was mute (Paper Mario, at least). I don't think we had Mario talking with gestures and mouth movements in the Paper Mario games, and Mario spoke some other language in the M&L games. The last first-party game to have Mario talk in full sentences was Mario Sunshine, in 2002. (Yeah, he said one or two sentences in Galaxy but I'm not counting that)

Luigi's always been able to talk, and there's no reason to change that now.

Not in the Mario & Sonic games. Luigi also doesn't appear to talk past Luigi's Mansion 1.

Anyway, is this fun in single-player?

Mario Party generally tends to be less fun in single player, but you can try idk.
