Hypothetical: Mario Party Anniversary/Switch

[Draconus297]

So, I brought this up in a status a few days ago, but the question never left my mind. The idea in question: reusing boards, items, and mini-games from the N64 and GameCube Mario Party games (1 board each, and and a handful of mini-games and unique items where possible), and some new ones to keep the game fresh. In addition, a "rules toggle" in the Options menu right before starting a board that lets you choose which gameplay style you want to use- ie, using Mario Party 5's ability to place items on spaces, or pay coins to use it on yourself, in addition to capsule machines being dotted around the board to dispense them- but no actual item shops.

 

Would you play it? What would you want to see return?

 

Here are some of my ideas (just my opinions on things I thought were cool, and please note that I never played 7)-

Returning items (that didn't just get re-skinned or changed for gameplay mechanic reasons, like Mushrooms in 4 or Chain Chomp v. Boo):

Reverse Mushroom (1): Makes your roll send you in the opposite direction from normal movement.

Wacky Watch (3): Sends the game to the last 5 turns, regardless of when it was activated.

Lucky Charm (3): Forces a target player (can be the user) to play a double-or-nothing mini-game all alone.

MiniMega Hammer (4): Selects a player, and randomly gives them either a regular Mushroom or a Cursed/Poison/Mini Mushroom (this overwrites a current Mushroom).

Super Mini Mushroom (4): Basically, a Cursed/Poison/Mini Mushroom that rolls two dice.

Miracle (5): If you collect 3, you get a free Star.
