[edit] All these mini-game descriptions...

Are they worth keeping? They just seem like a waste of space, seeing as none of the other Mario Party articles have them. Kudos to the people who spent the time writing them, but they're all unnecessary. I'll wait for a response before I bother deleting them. Hardcore gamer 48 10:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

They are necessary. They have been on all previous Mario Party articles (1-3). Henchman 2000 15:14, 2 December 2006.

I don't think they really are. Just because the other articles have it, doesn't make it right. The list of games+descriptions = one long list of clutter on just about every Mario Party article on Wikipedia. RobJ1981 22:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. I can understand the titles being there, but definitely not the descriptions. Unless the descriptions can be at least condensed (around the size and format of the descriptions of the Mario Party 5 mini-games), I suggest they are removed from the article. Hardcore gamer 48 10:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The descriptions were written by me, as I noticed them being in all the other Mario Party articles. I understand they are quite lengthy, but a small description at least should be kept. Also, the Trivia section is pretty pointless and doesn't really belong in a Wikipedia article. (Michael scoular 20:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Bowser Suit a hoax?

On the Item list, it says that you can get a Bowser Suit, but I have been playing the game for ages and haven't found one. Can it be found, or should I delete the Bowser Suit from the Item list? Bowsy 19:16 4 December 2006

Actually, it is. You can see Waluigi holding it on the box cover and manual. It even appears in the manual. Please, don't just assume something isn't there because you never seen it. Hardcore gamer 48 10:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! Bowsy 19:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

It is in the manual, but I completed the entire game, (Story Modes for all six characters) and never encountered it. It might have been removed from the game, but I won't delete it because I don't have complete proof. (Michael scoular 20:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC))

I did read about it in the manual. While I never actually encountered it, it did say that it is obtainable from Koopa Kid, or something. –Llama mansign here 21:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I played a lot of it too. I never seen a bowser suit--User:NFAN3|NFAN3 02:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I beat story mode with every single character and played this game a ton with my friends and by myself, and never once found it. If it does exist, it must be EXTREMELY rare. 71.166.56.84 23:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

It does. — Malcolm (talk) 00:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
You're right. I got it last month. It's an ultra-rare Bowser event. Bowsy (review me!) 12:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minigames

This section is really crufty, and I think it should be removed. Any objections? –The Great Llamasign here 23:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I really see no reason to object, so I guess I'll be bold and remove it now. –The Great Llamasign here 00:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

We should just add a list with either breif descriptions or none at all. You need to include something. Henchman 2000 18:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

In the spaces list, everything is from the point of view of the player, not the neutral point of view. –Llama mansign here 17:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Would it be better if all the "You"s were changed to "the player"? --Ephraim225 03:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Henchman 2000 19:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Uh-huh. *grumble* I guess I'll change them... –Llama mansign here 20:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
