Mario Party on N64 is basically the reason my friends and I still yell at each other 20 years later. You pick your favorite Mario character—I always went with Yoshi—and roll your way across these wild, colorful boards, stealing coins, screwing people over, and desperately hoping you land on a star space. The real chaos kicks in with the mini-games between turns, where you’re either mashing buttons like a maniac or realizing too late that you absolutely suck at rotating the control stick.

It’s one of those games where alliances form and break in seconds, and someone always ends up flipping the table (metaphorically… usually). The boards have their own weird gimmicks—like one where the whole thing shifts around—and the mini-games range from stupidly simple to “how is this even possible?” The CPU cheats sometimes, but that just makes beating them more satisfying.

If you’ve got three other people and a high tolerance for nonsense, this is still one of the best ways to turn a chill hangout into a screaming match.
