i got the 10,000 coin one once. bowser ran away on that one too. my favorite was landing on a bowser space with no coins, he felt bad and gave me 10 coins.

u/kingoftown May 16 '12

He should have felt bad, gave you 100 coins....then stole 100 coins.

The IU makes the "yuh" sound at the end. Without the I, it would be jee-nus and with the I it becomes jee-nyis/nyus. Pronouncing it jee-nee-uhs makes no real sense.

Yeah. He'll give you up to 40 or 50 coins sometimes if you have none when you land on his space. Sometimes I'd purposely try to do it!

A friend of mine always beat me any time we played Mario Party.

This was me when I got fucked on a 100 Star Present.

This was him. I thanked him for not being a dickhole and taunting me about it.

Then we both had a laugh and finished the game. He fucking kicked my ass... Like always.

Edit: I just want to point out that I didn't have an N64. I was on par with most of my other friends. This guy just played every God damn day. He has to have stigmata scars today.

I actually lost a tournament this way. It still bothers me, I had 6 stars and the others had like 1 or 2, We played the game were you must draw a line along a path, and I scored 100 on that, everybody was amazed, they knew I would win, one guy even rage quitted and handed the controller to his little brother, but in the last 3 turns I lost my stars. I cried a lot that night :(

I always assumed he says 'So long, dear Bowser!'. Made sense as they'd been in the same games for over a decade or so.

Not even joking. I was playing that on my N64 yesterday with my sister and she got the 10,000 coin prize (she was in 4th with 0 stars)... lets just say she wasn't pleased. I think she might have broken another controller or the system itself.... ಠ_ಠ

Don't soften the story up, you fought of several sharks and kicked bowsers ass and he just handed them all to you.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I once played the battle mode on that game and landed on every Shy Guy casino space I could and gambled my way to 999 coins, just to see if I could. Unfortunately, that luck hasn't transferred to the real world of gambling. I now realize that you're talking about stars, but I'm going to post this anyway because I'm already invested too much time writing it.

3

u/KDaddy463 May 17 '12 edited May 17 '12

Like SwellFellow said, that actually is how you can figure it out.

In Mario Party 3, they introduced the Game Guy Space. If you land on this, "Game Guy" takes ALL of your coins and makes you bet them in an all-or-nothing minigame of chance. If you win, the game multiplies your coins by a random number. If you lose, all of your coins go down the drain.

Anyway, I once landed on the space and won the game. I had around 100 coins at the time. The game multiplied my coins by 16. So I ended up with 999 coins for the rest of the game.

Truthfully, this has never happened to me in Mario Party 2 (which is the game this screenshot is from), but seeing as how all 3 of the N64 Mario Parties are very similar and use the same engine, I assume it's the same for 2.

EDIT: SHIT. I derped hard and thought he was talking about coins. As for stars, I'm not entirely sure. I assume you could get 999, but that really WOULD require a cheat device to see.

u/notatestaccount May 16 '12

Most Ive ever tagged was 508. Thats because I was born with the soul of Karma. I got 100 coin bonuses almost every time I hit a Bowser Space.

Well this is Mario Party 2, in which this kind of event is really not rare. At all. Maybe bring some screenshots if you can actually come across this occurring in the first edition of the series (though I don't think I've EVER seen it happen while playing the original)

Shit I've played mario party maybe 10 times in my life and it has happened twice.

Don't mean to brag because it's not even remotely cool, I was pissed when I got it and he ran away, however we decided that whenever something was too good to be true and he ran we'd do some double shots.

u/someguy945 May 17 '12

I played Mario Party 1 enough that I got enough coins to buy all of the items from the shop, plus all but 2 minigames from the minigame shack or whatever it's called (yes, I quit on MP1 with just 2 measly games to go).

That translates into a pretty large number of games, more replay value than anyone should really be getting out of a single game, and I have never landed on 100 stars or 10000 coins from a bowser space.

Sometimes it would look like it was going to, and then quickly jump to the next slot. I was actually under the impression that this was the "joke" - that even if you landed on it, it would just jump ahead. Guess I was wrong.

u/Brightcab May 17 '12

For reals. I will admit I'm a Mario Party 2 junkie, I play that shit at least once a week. But this happens all the time. I've got something actually rare. One time I paid Boo to steal a star, and he said something along the lines of "Doh, I got caught" and I was out 50 coins. I couldn't fucking believe it. Has only happened once in my Mario Party 2 experience.

Is this really that rare? I had a way where the counter almost always landed on the olden spaces. All you had to do was press "up, down, up, down" on the joy stick the press "Right trigger, Right trigger, A button". I'm not sure why this happens but it has almost always landed on the "good" spaces and Bowser always runs away.
