Seems to be everyone likes the second or third games.

Personally, I like the first one. Some people don't like it because of some of the "unfairness" that comes with the game and the lack of minigames. But I thought they were way more appealing and original. The only downside was it's the only game in the series without items, the simplicity (it is the 1st MP game after all), the CPUs sometimes cheat, Tug-o-War, and Paddle Battle. I remember as a kid always bugging my parents about buying it because I lost the game so much. I probably bought it at least 4 times. It was probably the 2nd-most bought game ever (behind Paper Mario).

O'course, Mario Party 2 was really nice. It could be like me getting the best of both worlds. However the game just didn't appeal to me and I don't really know why. I liked the originality and some minigames were really fun like the first one. The bad thing about it is how some of the games borrowed from the first one were changed. Crane Game is notorious for me, I liked how in the first one if someone had like 160 coins and you hated them so much and needed some coins you could just steal a 1/3rd of their coins. Or if you just wanted some coins because no one else had any or thought it was easier, you could just pick up a treasure chest for 10 coins.

Mario Party 3 is on the borderline for me liking it more. All the minigames were fantastic and original. Story Mode was "meh" though. I loved the items and the additional spaces, especially Game Guy. His minigames were so challenging and frustrating. The only thing that I probably don't like is some of the boards. They're all good just some had more appeal over the other.
 
Hmm, they are all great! Though, Mario Party 3 is the best, because of its story mode, items, and minigames. MP2 is also good, but it didn't have the story mode, though I really liked the costumes(Except for Peach's one.. Dress, Dress, Dress.) and boards. Mario Party 1 is also good, too, though stick rotating made blisters. Anyway, MP3 is first, and the two others are both 2nd.

Mario Party 1,2 were somethin.....


Mario Party 3 on the other hand was lame IMO

yea mario party 3 was lame bez of the item magic lamp. first everyone buys it second it's cheap third i think u should work for ur star. but my favorites is the first one bez after u buy the magma mountain and play on it u get another map which caught me off guard as well for my brothers and cousins and it's classic.
 
I guess I'm the only one here who didn't really like the N64 games.  :-\

IMO they're all so lame and mediocre it's hard to choose.

Mario Party 1 was just bland and badly made, and the gameplay was repetitive.

Mario Party 2 was....better, but it got annoying and I think I favored the first one more.

Mario Party 3 was alright. The computers were stupid in Party Mode and when they're not stupid, they always cheat. And they did nothing but buy skeleton keys or win them in item minigames and then throw them away. :p And they always team up on the human player. :( Also the majority of the minigames were stupid because they were either luck based, mediocre, badly explained through the instructions, quick and pointless, or some other fifth thing. And there was nothing to do. Either party mode, story mode (which is nothing but party mode with a story) or play minigames.

I guess I'll go with Mario Party 3.

Favorite N64 Mario Party? Obviously Mario Party 3. It had the best items available in it like the Reverse-Mushroom and the Bowser-Phone, it also had the action time parts on all the boards, and I liked the different variety of minigames in the duel and item sections. I still even play dual mode today on it!
Woooo, definitely agree with you dude! Mario Party 3 is the best!

Also, I've been playing more of MP1 and MP2 lately, and I realized... there's more flaws on the first 2 than I thought. MP1, you can not really decide your destiny, it all comes down to Mini-Games and Luck, I don't like the feel of no control. MP2 Mini-Games and AI really piss me off on Hard, cuz it's really hard to win, and the AI is real vicious. Using Boo to steal from CPUs on Hard get you like 6 coins...

I don't hate MP1/MP2, I've just been playing them more and more lately, and it's just some annoying things I've noticed.
