Rankings and Adjustable Difficulties

[Charizard632]

Before, there were only 4 difficulties. Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. In Mario Party 9, there should be more adjustable difficulties for CPU characters. E, D, C, B, and A. E is the easiest, while A is the hardest. The E, D, C, B, and A CPU difficulties have a slider in it to make things more adjustable. Just like in Mario Kart Wii, there is a place called overall ranking. The overall ranking can be E, D, C, B, A, 1 star, 2 stars, or 3 stars. There should be a section where you get to see all of your records, just like in Mario Kart Wii. There is also an automatic ranking, but he 1 star, 2 star, and 3 star rankings can't be applied to the CPU players, because it would be too much. If your ranking is 1 star or above then the automatic ranking will be A++.

This will be nice to have in a Mario Party game. It should be implemented so that you could keep on trying to get the best rank.

So with the "slider", you can choose in between D and C if C's too hard and D's too easy?

This would be really cool to have in MP9. Another good feature to have.

Hmm... you'd need a Story Mode to use this effectively (think MP3's system).

Perhaps, based off your win/loss streak, it could auto-handicap a la SSB?

On a side note, would there be a possibility of missions (like MKDS), where each is ranked a difficulty from E through ***?

i think this would be a good idea. and i agree with Yoshi1 with the slider idea.

I honestly don't think there needs to be anymore difficulty levels. They pretty much only apply to the mini-games, and is anything harder than Brutal really necessary?

The only thing related to this that they should include is records for EVERY mini-game. I don't get why some mini-games have records but other don't even though they have the same scoring mechanism.

That's actually a great Idea. Maybe. When you start off the game, you have E, D, and C with B and A being unlockable. The idea of the rankings being rated is good too. Maybe they can also add the point system like in Mario Kart Wii, where the higher amount of points you have, the harder the CPU's will be with max being 9999, very ultra super mega extreme hard.

...is anything harder than Brutal really necessary?

Yes. I am an expert in Mario Party, and Brutal/Very Hard seems to be my difficulty (B ranking).

Just 4 difficulty is enough I think, and if there's five just stick to words not letters for difficulty.
Add Very Easy under Easy difficulty for the easiest... or Super Hard over Very Hard for an even crazier experience.
But the automatic difficulty thing might be OK I guess.
