MP3 retains all of the wonderfully simplistic features that made its predecessors easy to pick up and tough to put down, while adding a ton of new mini-games to the mix.
MP3 is the last entry on the N64 before Nintendo made their way to the GCN. They really went out with a bang with this MP. The boards are really enjoyable to play on. The music has a really good energy to it that brings nostalgia whenever I go back to play 3. I also found that they added a lot of new features that make this MP a lot more adavnced and more original than MP2. I also like the addition of having 70 ORIGINAL minigames. They also made a lot of improvements to the board mechanics such as 3 item slots, Game Guy Minigames, rare items, etc. Overall this MP is amazing and it is obvious a lot of effort went into making this amazing game. Probably one of the best if not the best MP in the franchise.
There isn’t a single satisfying mode you can play Mario Party 3 in, and the sad thing is, all of this boredom could have been solved with one very, very simple option; let the player set the level of game animations they desire.
Mario Party 3 should absolutely not be bought for the one player mode...For those that are looking for a fun multiplayer game, this one certainly fits the bill. It's easily the best Mario Party game yet with more events and mini-games than ever before.
You're better off saving your cash for something better, but if you really want a Mario-based board game, go for the cheaper - and better - "Mario Party 2."
This game was sooooooo fantastic I thought it was a great Mario party it’s a lot better then like Mario party 1 but 3 is not as good as two but three is I think the best Mario party in the series the music is awesome the mini games were not horrible and it’s a lot of fun I love this game
Easily the most chaotic Mario Party game, but that's hardly a bad thing given that it's supposed to be a mostly luck based game anyway. It's let down by a few bad minigames such as The beat goes on and MPIQ, but it has easily the best item mechanics of any Mario party game, very good board design. And it's chaotic enough that, unlike many other games in the series, the most experienced player isn't going to win every game.
Oh boy. What went wrong here? After Mario Party 2's solid gameplay, boards and story, instead of going back to the first game, the best on the N64, and revamping it up, what did they do? Well, let's see...
So the story in Mario Party games usually aren't the greatest, but Mario Party 3's story is just... bad. It starts of with the Milennium Star (get it? because this game released in the year 2000 and you collect stars? heh heh.) that turns out to be bad and stuff and on the way you experience OK boards but the minigames, oh, the minigames. I don't think there's a single minigame in Mario Party 3 I shall ever want to come back too. Well, yeah, Rockin' Raceway is fine but it's controls are way out of hand and most of the minigames and especially the boards are just so, so tedious in single player. Yes, I know you could say that about 17 Mario Parties (not Star Rush) but in this one it's especially soul-draning. They tried to make the single player mode worthwhile but ended up hindering too much that this just feels like Mario Party 2's annoying teenage cousin. However, for some reason by making the single-player ****, this game actually has the BEST multiplayer in any of the N64 Mario Parties! Just because of that the bad boards and fine minigames don't even matter anymore! And you know the story I whined about before is actually bursting with charm, most notably Daisy slapping Bowser into the hot, melty atmosphere of the Sun's core. Ahh. Overall, Mario Party 3 is undoubtedly the worst on the N64, by no means is it bad, if you play it in the right mindset and way.
I was hoping to love this one, but once again it falls into the category of the mixed bag. Mario Party 3, like other games, are still enjoyable to play, but lacks the real joy from the original game that inspired this game and the franchise itself.
SummaryMario and friends are throwing a party and you're invited. It's their biggest bash yet, with seventy totally new Mini-Games and five brand new adventure boards. You'll be the life of the party as you punch, pound and stampede right over your opponents in a multiplayer melee or go head-to-head in the new two-player duel mode. You can even...
