Mario Party 3 is that classic N64 chaos where you and your friends spend half the time yelling at each other over stolen stars and cursed dice rolls. You pick a board—some are straightforward, others are just mean with their traps—and then it’s a mix of frantic mini-games and brutal luck-based sabotage. The duel mode is where things get personal, especially when someone bets all their coins on a rock-paper-scissors match and loses.

It’s got that early Mario Party jank, like weirdly specific mini-games where you’re either peeling potatoes or getting yeeted off a platform, but that’s part of the charm. Just don’t expect anyone to stay friends after a session. The Japanese version has some slight differences, but the core experience is the same: pure, unfiltered Nintendo-fueled rivalry.
