MP7 and MP8 makes sure that a tie would not happen (They choose the bonus stars accordingly)
Ah, that's why I never got a tie in those two Mario Parties before. It is impossible or at least very unlikely more than one player would meet the criteria to receive a bonus star simultaneously. Just another reason for me to hate the bonus stars in the Mario Party 7 and 8. I think the same thing applies to Mario Party DS because they have similar Bonus Stars to MP7 and MP8. They are also impossible to turn off.
And I always thought it was possible to get a tie in those Mario Parties. I wonder if it will be possible to have an end game tie in the upcoming Mario Party 3DS.
