Neat. It got the nickname Mario Party VIII.
It takes 0.5-1 hours, when Mario Party II took the afternoon.
There is still heaps of room for improvement, which means it's good. It means Mario Party IX will be awesome. My idea for MPIX is:
(start of flashforward) There can be more players than remotes. The players who don't have one share a remote. A roulette decides who will play minigames. (end of flashforward)
My favorite board is Koopa's Tycoon Town. You get to race around investing money to hotels and getting stars.
My brother (Joey)'s favorite is the train. He likes the layout and how you get stars (or lose them) in the cabin. It switches from Shyguy (sells you star for $20 :| ) to DK (gives you star! :) ) to Bowser (steals star! :( )
I liked playing as Drybones. Joey liked Mario and Toad.
Have a nice day
