#10. Disney’s Party
- Release Data: Neverland/Hudson, 2003
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Disney’s Party isn’t a bad game, but it is flat and uninspired.
It’s a cheap version of Mario Party aimed at the younger generation.
Make sure you have a steady stream of friends or younger gamers to play with if you decide to get this one.
#9. One Piece: Pirates’ Carnival
- Release Data: h.a.n.d. Inc./Bandai, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
In a party atmosphere, Pirates’ Carnival will occasionally offer the kind of fun that causes people to absolutely freak when they lose in a tight match.
In the end, a party atmosphere will probably go a long way in making the game’s quirky sense of humor a bit easier to swallow.
#8. Pac-Man Fever
- Release Data: Mass Media/Namco, 2002
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Overall, Pac-Man Fever is basically good enough compared with other party games.
So, if you’re looking for another party game to keep you busy, Pac-Man Fever may meet your needs—but if you’re looking for an actual party, there are better games out there.
#7. Mario Party 7
- Release Data: Hudson/Nintendo, 2005
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
To its credit, the title delivers some fun new boards and mini-games, and the multiplayer experience is as robust and enjoyable as ever.
The addition of eight-player minigames is really the only new feature worth considering getting the game for, but the only people that should truly be interested in it are those dedicated to multiplayer parties.
#6. Mario Party 5
- Release Data: Hudson/Nintendo, 2003
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Mario Party 5 is another successful installment in the franchise.
On the one hand, it’s filled to the brim with imaginative mini-games and modes, on the other it still suffers from the same baffling waiting times in the board-based modes.
But, as a multiplayer party game, Mario Party 5 is a must-have, there is no question about that.
#5. Mario Party 4
- Release Data: Hudson/Nintendo, 2002
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Mario Party 4 is a definite party favorite.
The sheer uncertainty and the many features and games will keep it enjoyable for a long time.
And while more accomplished gamers may find some of the minigames too simplistic, the accessibility ensures that Mario Party 4 is one that just about anyone can enjoy.
#4. Mario Party 6
- Release Data: Hudson Soft/Nintendo, 2004
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Most of the new features in Mario Party 6 add little to the overall experience, so it’s hard to recommend the game to owners of either previous GameCube entry to the series.
However, if you’re a hardcore fan of the series, the sixth game may be enticing as an expansion pack of new mini-games, which are abundant.
#3. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2004
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
If you have friends, the choice is simple: buy WarioWare.
The simple “pick up and play” mantra of the game makes it easy for even non-gamers to become addicted.
Whether you’re looking for a five-minute blast or an hour-long marathon, WarioWare has a game for you and your friends.
#2. Super Monkey Ball 2
- Release Data: Amusement Vision/Sega, 2002
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
It’s almost amazing how Super Monkey Ball 2 makes fun and addictive multiplayer gaming seem so simple, and it manages to include a compelling single-player game to boot.
Fans of the series will find more to love here than in the original Super Monkey Ball, and beginners will find this to be a much easier game to get into.
#1. Super Monkey Ball
- Release Data: Amusement Vision/Sega, 2001
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Solid graphics, addictive yet accessible gameplay, and some of the best multiplayer action on the system make Super Monkey Ball a winner.
