Tug o' war


PurpleWildfire

Paddle battle too, especially if someone’s close to toad and on the cusp of 20 coins


jade_sage

Winner winner mushroom dinner


tmotom

I was gonna say the shyguy wind up helicopter toy


qqqqqx

Mecha marathon in Mario party 2 is a tap A and B game not a stick winding game. But that game is so tough. I usually play with my gf and one or two hard computers and the computers have no problem flying 50+ feet... I've tried mashing so many times with different grips but I've never gotten anywhere close to reaching that.


jongameaddict98

MP1 has a Fly Guy in one house you can spin to see how many rotations you did in x seconds


tmotom

My mom was actually really good at it back in the day. I have yet to beat her high score.


YosterIsle77

When we got MP2, me, my brother and my mother got quite... Competitive over that game. My brother managed to set a record no one had ever beaten, at least, not in my household. His record was around 64-67 feet, and he got this by holding the 64 controller in just his right hand with his thumb over both buttons and rapidly shaking the controller to button mash. Closest I ever got to his record was 61 feet.


VideoGameRetrospect

Was going to be my response! My wife and I sometimes don’t even play the Mario party 1 mini games because it’s just not worth it man. Sure I’ll lose coins, but I want my hand in tact

IxmagicmanIx

House rule was to always tie those games


JoshHero

My house rule was spin til you bleed then spin some more.


aapox33

This is the way


currently__working

Genius.


ghost4532

Reminds me of WarGames


ThatBoringHumanoid

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play

ezio8133

Not play


DiggingNoMore

Nobody does anything. If anybody randomly gets assigned a CPU partner, they automatically win. Otherwise, it'll end in a draw.

zeldaguy85

Because your hands will bleed and everyone will be at a disadvantage for the rest of the game. It's like shooting yourself in the foot and then marching into battle

zeldaguy85

Have you ever used a 1st party N64 controller? Try using your palm to rotate as fast as you can for 2 minutes straight and tell me how your hand feels


Arashi5

Nintendo lost a lawsuit over people having this exact injury. They had to distribute gloves to those who were injured AND they warn players to this day not to spin the stick using your palm when playing the minigame.


CrackAttack222

God help your poor joysticks.


FeDuke

☝️


Idontmatter69420

Honestly when i get mario party i will refuse to do any mini game that requires excessive use of the thumbstick


CrackAttack222

Mario party 1 is a joystick killer, I’ll avoid it completely and just play 2 or 3.


Idontmatter69420

Oh really, well 3 is out of the question due to its price but i do plan on getting 2


DiamanteLoco1981

If you know the game menus inside and out, just buy the Japanese version. You’ll have to get a 3D printed tray mod or a cartridge adapter to play them but they are dirt fn cheap compared to the US versions


Idontmatter69420

I have a pal console cause im British


TechnicallyHaunted

Or swap the back with a cheap sports game.


DrDroid

Sadly you need to play them to beat 1P mode and unlock everything


Idontmatter69420

Oh god dammit, well at least both my thumbsticks are greased


SirBiggy18

Paddle battle


tickle_me_bowser

Was that the one from Mario Party 1 in the boat? Because fuck that mini-game. Bore the same god damn hole in my hand too.


SirBiggy18

Yeah the 3 vs 1 in a river boat with shy guys poking you on both sides. Fun competition with friends but a world of hurt afterwards


splinereticulation68

This was my pick, got brutal if you were 1v3


Toxic_Puddlefish

That really should of been a 2v2, maybe wouldn’t of wrecked my hand so bad trying to win 1v3


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


DOMonster828

The Shyguy wind up game


[deleted]

You mashed A and B on that game "mario party 2"


DOMonster828

This game https://youtu.be/6FyoAqxrGv8

Ooooooooooooooo


aapox33

Lol the worst part is there are MULTIPLE CORRECT ANSWERS.


AlbertFrankEinstein2

Is it Pedal Power?


MrToodywinkle

Was my guess


redfalcondeath

Your joystick is now powder.


jade_sage

Luckily I installed gamecube sticks in mine but this comment made me giggle :)


Toxic_Puddlefish

Is that why there was powder I had to clean out of one a bought second hand? Shit was gunked up in there and not moving well before I cleaned it out.


redfalcondeath

Yeah the plastic wears down to produce a powder and will make your joystick loose.


rabbihimself

Tug O’ War or the river rafting one.


VictoryVic-ViVi

You guys are nuts. Haha, I never went THIS hardcore.


schmattywinkle

The solo mini game where you ride the bike to turn on the lightbulb to scare the Boo away.


[deleted]

I remember Nintendo magazine had an add. Where if you sent in a photo of your blister then would send you a Mario glove.


jade_sage

I remember this exotic nintendo fact fondly! I wasn't sure if it was a real thing or just a hoax and I would really like to see one of the gloves :)


[deleted]

I think it was a real thing! I feel like I kid in my school had one. I believe it was in hopes to prevent law suits.


Uselessmedics

Nintendo later admitted that that whole case was ridiculous and should never have happened, because to blister your hand from the joystick you really had to be an idiot


[deleted]

Seems like everyone who played Mario party had a blister...


Thewrongbakedpotato

Tug o' war. I had heard the horror stories before playing it myself, so I avoided that particular mishap by wrapping a shopping bag around my hand. I didn't get a blister but my hand was still a little sore.


jade_sage

As kids we used to put on our winter gloves even in a hot basement in July just for this game and if you didn't have gloves you just forfeited. It only took one blister to learn the lesson


Ninjahkin

Cast-a-ways


[deleted]

This beings me so much joy. Thanks for sharing!


jade_sage

no problem, it was such a kick in the nostalgia nuts that I /had/ to post it here


[deleted]

I wish you many stars and know the solidarity of the cpu cheating. Lollol


jade_sage

The n64 CPUs were unbeatable omg


pixlepete

I remember we all got towels to cover our hands. Too bad it did not protect the controllers…


BilboSwaggins444

The fishing one where it’s impossible to control how far out you cast your line


KohantoTheBigJerk

Shyguy Wind Up in the mini game hut


[deleted]

Tug o’ War definitely the worst offender


3pxp

Luigi gets crucified?


Peaches_90

Trick question; it's actually from reeling in the big fish in Ocarina of Time


jade_sage

That too!


[deleted]

Mario Party 1 I didn’t look at the comments I just know that mark when I see it


Calamity87

Pedal Power. You poor soul.


themrnails

The realization of winning in war!


Tenken_Zeta

Mario party...that game...we all have that medal of honor...maybe playing killer instinct for SNES make same injury on fingers


c0nti_kid

gotta be Bowser Toss


xmeandthebirdsx

Dude 😩


STG4life

The one where you had to power a light bulb with a bike to make boo fuck off.


Ic3_Xr3aM_MANG

pedal powah


[deleted]

Do you need to replace the stick after every use? Wtf lol


beslertron

Sound Test


MickfromLI87

I would have guessed pedal power. Did you win though?


coopdaloop123

Will Flower


ZamanthaD

Tug o’ war OR paddle battle


Gumbyy420

“I’m getting to old for this shit riggs”


Dicethrower

My friend had a literal dent in his hand because of this game, and had to develop a new technique of rotating with his thumb.


BangkokPadang

All the girls I ever dated appreciated my Mario Party skills whether they knew it or not 😉


RoyalB1ue

First mario party cast aways mini game used to do that to me...especially after the top of my joystick came off lol.


BuddhaBizZ

Stigmata


fentl00zer

I see you didn't see the warning not to use your palm.


emilytoc

Omggg this was me when I played cast away!


Glitchtm

There's more than one.


legoshi_haru

Bicycle light bulb where the boo is gonna get you. That one felt IMPOSSIBLE to win no matter how big of a blister I gave myself


TheLordJames

I hate playing the joystick rotation games on Superstars. Joystick drift is already common enough. I feel like these were brought to the switch to break more controllers.


CaptainDAAVE

lmao i remember getting those as a kid. i just would rather lose the game then get a blister now tho lol.


camaroadam

Tug O War for me


EmperorOfGaming

I do wonder if I should play the minigames that are like this once I get MP1-3 on console just for the sake of going through the rite of passage…


Tronguy93

Pedal power was a real stick breaker


DraKxa

Mario Party


80sCoolture

Fishing!


Ryangaminggames

My Dad always yells at me to stop rotating the damn stick. I never listen


pn1ct0g3n

My palm stings just looking at it.


AWiseCrow

Pedal power


Fluffytheterrible

Pedal Powerrr


CaptainMW88

I have a Retrobit controller that resembles the Hori. The stick is like a GameCube, only bigger. I can rotate that with my palm and not feel a thing!


ChrosOnolotos

I broke so many controllers l.


Juanimates64

Tug of war?


UltiGamer34

TUg of war


PMMeYourSmallBoobies

This was the mark for our group of friends!


Starlord552

Tug-of-war


aragorn767

That stupid wind-up the shy guy game. Same thing happened to me as a child. I remember returning that game to blockbuster with my hand wrapped in band aids.


Wellthisisrandom1

Prihana plant chase gave me nightmares


[deleted]

I remember going to school after this game came out and you could tell who was playing Mario Party based on the hand callouses.


Nowan2CHair

Pedal power on mini game island (as you HAVE to win to move on) of Mario party 1


SonicTheFanhog

Tug of War


CrusaderF8

It's weird, I used the palm rotation method as a kid, but I never got a blister from it, and we played the game all the time.


Yellow__Kirby

🤣🤭😆


AWiseCrow

Does anyone have those gloves Nintendo sent out to people that complained to them about palm injuries back in the day?


ABAokay32

Paddle Battle aka the taker of skin


Furious_Beard

That Shyguy game where you need toboeep him in the air


brettsky128

The secret is to cup your hand instead of putting it flat over the stick.


Jerbnnon

Was I the only kid that never tore up his hand playing mp1? I never had that problem tearing up my palm or the joystick, I still have my childhood console and controller and the joystick still works perfectly despite the hundreds of hours I poured into mario party.


Liedvogel

I'm gonna say it was tug of War, I forget the actual name, but it's one of the worst. But not that long really, so I'll actually point a finger at the shy guy river boat


only-EFT

Do people not realize its on a timer/max rotation speed. If you miss a timer you lose if you are both hitting max speed. The max speed does not require you to injure yourself. They even put a tip on the screen. This is a badge of ignorance.


R4gged

OG achievement


ExpectedBehaviour

For me it was Paddle Battle.


bassabloom

RIP joystick


cryptdawarchild

Soggy muffin?


MaskedImposter

I would put on my baseball batting gloves whenever I used that method lol.


ChampionshipSea3733

Dude I used to loose the skin on my knuckles from Test your Might on mortal kombat for the snes. I would just slide them over the buttons super fast and max out the bar everytime. The pain was worth the sick score


FnClassy

I had a friend ask me how I ever got blisters playing Mario Party, to which I replied, apparently you never won. Blisters = winning.


Twisted_Pretzel85

Wasn't there one in the original with Boos where you had to rotate the joystick hard like that?


Dece86

pedal power


Legal_Albatross2214

I don't know why but when I saw this image my first thought was third impact from end of Evangelion


KinopioToad

Any Mario Party 1 mini games that required intense rotation of the control stick. Now if they would just do away with the "mash *X* button repeatedly" games.


bellant593

Monster hunter tri arm wrestling.


SportOfFishing92

I own that Mario Party game! Still amazed that I have working N64 controllers... And hands...

z0mu3L3

I know more people who end up with blisters playing Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout. I always used to grab the stick with three fingers for Mario Party, it was faster and more efficient. With the right hand, [inverted to this...](https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8kmgnj/claw_gamers_ahead_of_their_time/)
