Why Mario Party 4 doesn't have many minigames?

[CaptainShyguy]

So I was playing MP4 yesterday, I was on Shy Guy's Jungle Jam, I did a normal 20 turns and I can tell you that I just played like 7 different minigames... I think I played the Great Deflate like 5 times... I just thought it was really cheap. I also played Right Oar Left 2 times and I hate that minigame, also Booksquirm two times... I just think it's cheap and I don't even know if I want to play MP4 again this summer...

That's odd. Most of the time, when I play MP4, I don't usually play the same minigames more than once.

And yeah, the minigame count for this game is kinda bogus. I think it had the least amount of minigames in the main series (1-DS).

But nonetheless, most of the minigames IMO were fun anyways.

Yeah, I kinda agree with you there. I always end up replaying the same mini-game like 5 times. Although there are only around 50 mini-games(I think ), so I can see why the mini-games repeat. TBH, I don't play Mario Party 4 that much anymore...

Actually, Mario Parties that have a low overall mini-game count will tend to have you playing mini-games over and over. Especially with Mario Party 4, as it didn't have that much. There were 9 for 1 VS. 3 and 2 VS. 2, and 16 for 4-Player. The previous two installments had slightly less repeats, as they had about 65 and 70 mini-games in Mario Party 2 and 3, respectively.

Title is misleading. I thought you were going to give us an explanation. Didnt see the "?"

Anyway, any Mario Party you will end up playing the same ones over and over because it's all random. Just like half the game.

Never really had much of a problem with repeating minigames, at least I don't think I do. I mean I've only been playing short 15 turn games for a little bit now idk when's the last time I played a game longer than 20 turns in MP4.
