What did you hate about Mario Party DS?

[Paper Peach]

Finally, MPDS what do you hate about it?
I presonally love the game, but what I don't like about it is that most of the Duel Mini-Games were from the 4-Player Mini-Games, and the Puzzle Mini-Games as well, but yeah other than that, I love the game.
What do you hate about MPDS?

[Vipsoccermaster]

Not much to hate for this one. I didn't like how Boo wasn't playable here. Some mini-games were annoying, especially Trace Cadets.

Some mini-games were annoying, especially Trace Cadets.

That's what I hated the most about this game. I also didn't like how easily masterable the Boss Fights were, especially Hammer Bro's.

[Chubzster]

I didn't like the fact that they didn't have Baby Bowser. The Bowser board was my least favorite because the computers would get the bonuses.

[cookieboy17]

Trace Cadets had to be the worst designed minigame ever that wasn't in MP8 (*cough*flipthechimp*cough*).

Anyways, like kinetic I didn't like that the boards felt too small and the game felt a little too gimmicking in the sense that you could just effortlessly put down some 2 star hexes on the board or just buy 3 star pipes for 45 coins.

[Colyton]

I don't like Trace Cadets too, but the minigame is not that hard...but it is a bad minigame...

The game was good, but Boo & Dry Bones weren't playable, they could have change some of the bosses (Dry Bones, Hammer Bro), and that's about it.

[cookieboy17]

I don't really get why there were only 8 playable characters, could the DS really not be able to contain 10?

[The Shattered Legacy]

I wonder how Trace Cadets ranks in worst game not in MP8. I know shapes like the L and U are sometimes not registered, but surely you don't stumble on the single squares... >_<

My "hates" towards MPDS are:
> Cheep Cheep Chance appearing too regularly in Duel
> Inconsistency in "Expert" difficulty (in Soap Surfers, they play like Hard, while in Trace Cadets, Rail Riders and Rubber Ducky Rodeo they play like Brutal)
> MIC games being too simplistic (apart from Short Fuse) and almost a guaranteed win
> Lack of unique spaces (only Friend? Really?)
> Cheapness of certain tactics on certain boards (e.g. play Team Battle on Kamek's Library. Buy only Dice Sets, and have one team member on each half of the board...)
> CPU stupidity in using Halfway Dice at the most inopportune moments (i.e. Bowser Zone)

...may add more. =P

I'm surprised this is the first mention of the friend space. That space was dumb as hell.   And yeah the cpu played pretty stupid but they've played worst in like Mario Party 3.

But Cook, it teaches children "Sharing is Caring".

Yea but the CPU (and anyone else probably) just gives it to the last place person.

Too true.

Other bad things to add to the list:

* Wiggler's Garden is just bad in terms of having two consecutive Bowser Spaces, and the central path with two consecutive red spaces and the -10 coin ? space.
* The music note F and its annoyingly posh language in Toadette's Music Room.
* I suppose Hammer Bro's bad pun of "My music is SO MOVING!!!" is bad.
* Not being able to play Desert Duel or the other Multiplayer game mode outside of Multiplayer Wireless.
* Horrible loading times for Download Play (around 5 minutes).
* Sometimes the Chests of Chance give out 60 coins to a computer on first shot, then you come up to it, and miss your 60 coins by the narrow margin of a 5 or 1 instead of 6. =P

[cookieboy17]

One thing I hated: Kamek's Library. Probably the worst board in a MP game that isn't 1 way.

[Stealthy Spider-man]

there were only five boards and only one good one.

[SpiderStaryu]

Wha? Why'd you guys dislike Kamek's Library so much? I didn't think it was a great board, but I thought it was pretty average (considering they were copying the Neon Heights from MP7)
