Is It Possible to Beat Super Mario Party By Doing Absolutely Nothing? - Mario Party Challenge

For the last year and change, I've been pushing my gaming skills to the limit, attempting all sorts of self-imposed

challenge

s, all for your entertainment, so what the hell am I

doing

playing Super Mario Party, a glorified dice game, a game in who the winner is? It's often determined more by luck than any player input, so how is that a good

challenge

? I mean, if luck favored you enough, you could probably win by

doing

absolutely

nothing

for the entire game, oh, that's really what we're going to do. It doesn't sound exciting, but hey, today we're looking for the answer to the question that no one was asking: is it

possible

to

beat

Super Mario Party without doing

absolutely

anything?

So how sedentary are we going to be, or in other words, what are the rules? Now let's start with our objective. I'll consider Super Mario Party defeated if we manage to

beat

the Mario Party game mode on all four boards while doing absolutely

nothing

because, frankly, who cares about the other modes? It's certainly not me now, as to how. We're defining doing absolutely nothing, the first obvious rule is to not make any controller input during minigames for most minigames. What this entails is obvious, i.e. the minigame says to move with a stick and of course we don't do that for motion controlled video games now.

I will place my joy-con on a flat surface for the entire minigame, this probably won't win us many games, but therein lies the challenge. What about the board part of the game? Obviously, no controller input at all here isn't really an option because then we're stuck like this. What I propose we do for the dashboard is press the advanced button which in this case is x, although it is rotated to the position it would normally be in when you hold down. the joy-con, the way the game wants you to do it, it's hard to talk about the buttons of these things coherently, anyway, we press that button when necessary to advance in the game and we don't do anything else, there is no decision making or strategy, whatever the game. would have us do by default, that's what we do.

The text box appears. Keep it up. You need to roll a die. Keep it up. He comes to a fork in the road. Any address selected by default. Keep it up. Comes to a store environment. You need to select an action. take your turn, any option selected by default advances, so here we go, a luigi who is probably terrible at many games and doesn't use any strategy on the boards against waluigi daisy and rosalina, three normal difficulty CPUs, really the fight of your life, now, what board? To cover first, let's try Mega Fruit Paradise in theory, this board should be one of the easiest ones since there aren't too many options for the player on the board to begin with, it's just four loops that connect together with half the the connections are purely luck depending on whether you travel through them or not so yeah this should be our most favorable board so let's see exactly how things work out try number one first turn honestly it's a little boring, the minigame, on the other hand, you don't.

Wake up Wiggler and I'm actually not sure if you can't do anything here. The game doesn't seem to progress if you don't pet Wiggler at least once. Will this minigame crash softly every time it appears? apparently not, it just takes a while on the second bend, I got an ally phone and Daisy arrived at the island with the star. So good for her, the minigame was a template census and what do you know? It turns out that there are more than zero toads on the rope. Who would have thought that on turn three it turns out that, whenever

possible

, the game's default set of actions on your turn is to use the leftmost item and then roll a normal dice block?

This means we can use our items, which should generally be a good thing since a lot of games this round involve metal detectors and you know, I'm starting to notice that Luigi stands still for about 30 seconds and then loses, it's actually not that interesting, so from now on I'll only mention minigames that I consider particularly worth mentioning on the fourth turn. This turn we find out what exactly the default action is for interacting with a store, as it turns out to be purchasing the leftmost item which could certainly end up depleting our already nearly empty coffers.

Oh I also found a hidden block with a star on it, good luck, also the days you bought a star this turn, turn five this time, the default path to take was over the sand bridge to pineapple island , which fortunately is where the star is right now. Actually, I don't think it's luck. I'm pretty sure the default route is, whenever possible, the shortest route to the star and, hey, that's not such a bad way to determine that for our purposes. On turn six I wasted a custom dice block to land on a Lucky Space, the minigame fit perfectly and I had absolutely no chance of winning, but man, the computers were slow on this one.

I turned seven with 12 coins in hand and a star just three spaces away. Earning a star this turn is practically inevitable. Oh, a store. I just have to have this golden mushroom what do you mean I don't have enough coins for the star toadette oh the shopping I'll curse my compulsive buying disorder I'll be eight this pineapple link does nothing but waste all my money well this one hidden block? it kind of makes up for it, although did you know that multiplying by one usually produces small numbers? I know it surprised me too. Turn nine, two spaces away from the star with 17 coins in the bank, which means this turn we can buy a golden mushroom and I still have enough left to buy the star, welcome to Two Star City, aka first place, Phil, let's hope it lasts turn 10.

With a one-star lead over second place, I'm feeling pretty good going into this last turn, oh Rosalina, you're stealing. one star from me, wonderful, just wonderful, and waluigi, you have one star, congratulations and if I'm not mistaken that puts me in last place, great, so it all comes down to extra stars, so I need to win both twins So what do we have? Bonus, I consumed a lot of mushrooms on this board so maybe yes, I won this one and the second is the tourist bonus that also goes to me which means I won Mega Free Paradise, well that wasn't so bad.

Next, hit Kamik's tempting tower. This board can be described as aggressively linear. Ultimately, each branch is a choice between the fastest path to the star and the slightly less fast path to the star, and as we've discussed above, the default option is always the fastest. The route on the downside, this board focuses a lot on coins so we may come up short due to the minigames that almost never win, although the blue spaces award double coins here so maybe not be a problem, let's find out. try number one, spin one, a decent spin and buy a mushroom, spin two, just another decent spin again, spin three, so I landed on the space that changes the price of stars, the price changed to 15 coins, I hope not being the one to pay that price, turns four good news, I didn't play 15 coins for one star bad news because of the high price, I couldn't afford any stars so now the price is five coins for the next guy in The positive side.

I found a hidden block afterwards, so it's okay. The fifth turn, rolling a one on a board, all about advancing isn't the best scenario, but guess what I finally won, a minigame, it was a quit test on the team side, though honestly all credit goes to the wrestling turn. six per average spin and one average purchase also Daisy got a couple of stars and what is this? A rumble minigame against In this case, 15 coins, how annoying, on turn seven, the other players were quite interesting. This turn, Waluigi got a couple of stars, which then reduced the price to five coins for me when I approached, hopefully soon, and then Rosalina immediately stole a star from Waluigi Classic and to finish it off, Daisy won another 1vs minigame 3 for me when I turned eight.

Well, this has to be one of the most wasteful uses of a golden pipe ever recorded, although I did get three stars so I can't complain that I lost the 2v2 minigame, but in this case, it's actually a good thing because losing here will deny Waluigi the opportunity to buy multiple stars next turn, turn 9. Waluigi buys a star on turn 10. No one is close enough to the star to make power plays, which means I'm ending . celebrates 10 years with a one-star lead. Hopefully the bonuses end up working out well for me. The first bonus is the minigame bonus.

Well, I'm definitely not going to win that one. It's nice that Daisy has an extra star. Now I need to win the next one. The unfortunate one. bonus i have no idea who got this one everyone except daisy i think it works yeah luigi wins another board that's two for two this may be the easiest challenge i've done so far bring on whomp domino ruins , this board is certainly more complicated than the Other two much more significant branches will weaken our strict b-line for the star strategy. We'll see that we can also be ruined by the placement of the stars and I'm sure there will be even more things I hadn't even thought of.

Not yet, attempt number one, turn one, lands on the red space on turn one, not a great start, especially since we'll probably be running pretty light in this game, anyway, on turn two, it's a special pain to get to the star first without the coins to pay. but don't worry, it wasn't in vain fighting, they made it in turn three, it's okay, the star is on the opposite side of the board, now we should be able to accumulate enough coins by the time we get to it, all we need. What we do is roll high and maintain our already existing lead, a one that is not exactly what he was looking for.

Curve four, six and an allied phone. Now it's more like turn five. It's one me Mario and one red space and one rumble minigame versus minigame, so what? you know we're broke yeah luigi i also feel like banging my head against the wall repeatedly. On turn six, I got a hidden blocking card this turn that could be useful. Also Rosalina got a star and Waluigi also got a star. Go to seven. 13 coins. of the hidden block is not bad, in fact, it allowed me to get a star. Hooray, I also have Bowser as an ally. Hooray and Daisy got a star.

Hooray, wait, no, that's not a good one. Well, Luigi also got a star and stole one. rosalina but yeah i'm still firmly in last place flip it i didn't even have enough coins to pay the full that's awkward also waluigi got a star from the hidden block on turn 9 i got a koopa and daisy got a star on turn 10. the pressure is on having even a slight mathematical chance of winning. I need to get a star this turn, ideally two big roles, but neither star was fun enough for luigi and then waluigi gained both extra stars, bringing his total to seven, seven, that would be impressive. number a human can achieve in a 10 turn game, man we didn't get a chance to try number two, the really hidden block had five coins in it, that's it, although I did get a star on one later, so I guess it balances out What I don't Rebound is being the coin leader for most of the game, only to never encounter any stars on the board.

Also, yes, somehow, I won a good number of minigames this time, enough to win the board. No attempt, number three, well, the third time is the charm events of turn one, hopefully someone else pays for them. turn two, how many times will I get to this first star without enough coins to pay? I found a hidden block immediately afterwards, but still, on turn three, while this event is certainly not ideal on turn four. I'm in a tight race for a star right now more than a two would be nice at least the crabs can operate exclusively with the right hand spin five another two at least this one comes with a free goomba oh and the star is right in front of me now and I'm losing money in rumble versus minigame, now you know where Luigi doesn't lose money through football, yes, on the sixth turn I have a star.

On the seventh turn I have a hidden card that could be a star. You never know. In the eighth turn he had. seven coins on it pretty disappointing almost as disappointing as rolling one less than the star fortunately waluigi also came up short in turn nine i got a star and even better waluigi lost the star giving it to daisy not sure how I feel about this turn 10 ... theThings look good, I have a leading star and no one is particularly close to the star right now, so I should go to the extra stars with a lead, but what is this Rosalina?

It has a golden warp tube with which it could be warped directly. to the star and buy it, that wouldn't be the end of the world, but moving to the star would make it incredibly likely that she would pass like that too, so you could steal a star and if you stole a star, she would almost certainly steal from the player in the first place. . Me, my advantage is based on a bed of lies. A touch of Rosalina. Everything collapses or she couldn't and didn't even move. I dont complain. OK. Extra star time will do it. my leadership is the last one, the first one, the rich bonus that goes to rosalina, no wonder the second one is a tourist for luigi and that ensures a victory for luigi in the domino ruins of womp, that one was a little more difficult Now there is only one board left.

King Bob's powder keg. Mine would consider it. This board is the most complex and intricate in the game. Frankly, it also has an annoyingly high number of star spawn slots in the core loop, which is bad for us because it's so easy to get to those stars from so many different places in the game. map that can encourage a high score game that doesn't seem to be very good for us in this challenge, but let's not delay too much with the strategy that we can't really implement and let's get into this game, attempt number one, turn one to six.

Not bad on the second turn, we have a custom dice block on this turn, which means we will roll a 6 on the next turn. Also, in this minigame we had no chance of winning, but I dare you to look at these pictures and not find Luigi's background funny or funny. maybe a little creepy turn three this turn there is some good news and some bad news the good news is that we have a significant advantage in the race to the star the bad news is that we only have four coins on turn four I think I have been rejected for earning stars for being too poor more times during the making of this video than I had in my entire

mario

party

career before this must be people who are bad at minigames i feel like on turn 5 the bomb is about to explode on turn six rosalina got that star i couldn't afford well for her i got

mario

who's almost as good as a star right and i tied a minigame rather more like roslinda actually made tartan seven i got a mushroom turn eight, rosalina made me burst, that was cute, although even if she didn't, she would have made me burst anyway in other news, while luigi and I won the fruit forecasting minigame, since it turns out that standing still is actually a surprisingly valid strategy for this turn nine.

Daisy stole a star from Rosalina. I'm not sure if that's good for me, but it's one thing, oh, it doesn't matter as long as we just Honestly, I stole for days, if the AI ​​keeps wasting money playing beyond the pack with the only stellar robot so far, this could end being fine by me and of course Rosalina ruins the pattern by buying a star she was looking for now. less and then she ruins me with a cool versus minigame, oh I also made it to the star, a real shame, I only have five coins, so isn't it turn ten, so daisy with the star I couldn't and I all made it ?

The turn was to recruit Bowser Jr. Well, maybe the bonus stars can save the rich Snowstor game bonus, which means I lose. Shall we try again? Try number two, try number three, try number four, try number five, try number six, try number seven, do it, okay, it's your turn. ten, I have two stars, which puts me in second place behind Rosalina, who also has two stars, if she doesn't get high enough to get the star, then I have a very good chance of getting it, thus catapulting me to first place by enter the The bonus stars, well at 18, will definitely get her there and she got a second one this turn, you're kidding.

Try number eight, depth number nine, this time, I actually have a one star lead in bonus stars. Should be the favorite. The now correct twin minigame bonus for Waluigi isn't great, but there's also the tourist bonus for Waluigi's 10th attempt. Attacks, setup enough. I didn't realize it would be this long when I started, let's talk about a try again, turn one to four was rolled and so it took me to an event space on turn two I rolled one at least I have an ally for it and who knows maybe being completely out of the running for the first star will be good maybe turn three well Daisy got the first star but I got a lot of Dash Mushrooms, those are as good as one star turn right four, uh, without incident, I'm just moving towards the new star, turn five, so Rosalie just stole the Daisy star and the star has moved.

Fortunately, I'm still the closest, although minimal Baro rolls are. He didn't exactly help me, but I did get an ally, so it's not so bad. On the 6th turn the bomb blew up half my coins, that's not good, oh and now I can't pay for the star. On the plus side, at least Rosalina won insanity cases. On my turn seven everyone landed on an event space this turn and now the bomb is one away from exploding and I act on the last turn eight, somehow it got to me without the world exploding, yeah I just need a seven to reach the star get with a six-sided die good with two allies is yes for the number one star also yes for the hammer brother turn 9 rosalina landed on an extra space of bad luck and lost the star yes while luigi got a star boo but then he and Daisy got exploded so I guess she bounced and on top of all this madness I booed my fourth ally, yeah turn 10.

This turn was uneventful and leaves me in second place behind Waluigi, we both have one star, it's actually pretty good. position to win all I need to happen is for me to get an extra star and for Waluigi to not get a star certainly within the realm of possibility, so what are the bonuses for bunny bouncing? He had many allies, I love him well. What we need now is for Waluigi to not get the other star and this other one is the eventful bonus, it's Daisy, so unless he's bad at math, yeah, Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing on all the boards, like this Yes, with enough luck and patience it is possible.

To beat Super Mario Party by doing absolutely nothing, man, that challenge is boring, although at least in the other ones you're doing something all the time, but enough about this challenge if you want to see some of those other challenges, check out and maybe. even subscribe to the channel, there are about a dozen more for you to watch right now, so if you like this one, please like the video and be sure to check them out and if you have any suggestions for future challenges, leave a comment.
