Features are our in-depth articles and unique series that give you a deeper look into the Mario Party series and our own community. For now, this page houses past posts that fit the bill, but the plan is to visually revamp this section with new and longer features on popular topics — when I actually get to them. Think board rankings and the like!
Board and Minigame Databases
As part of our overhaul of the Mario Party sections and pages, I created two databases that will (eventually) serve as comprehensive lists of every board and every minigame. Each database includes options for filters and sorting, and each board and minigame includes an image and even a user rating. Boards and minigames in each database are directly tied to our new individual pages for each board and minigame, so only boards and minigames that have a page created will appear in the database. In short, it’s a work in progress! Any board and minigame not currently part of the database is included in a written list.
Currently, only boards and minigames from the original Mario Party are represented.
