Okay, I got bored so I decided to go and play some Mario Party. I decided to check which games could be optimised for time and which ones could not, so here goes: WORLD 1 Coin Block Blitz: Yes (I don't know how you'd go about optimising it though) Coin Block Bash: Yes Coin Shower Flower: Yes! You can pick up 25 coins and fall off, and it'll be a clear! Paddle Battle: No WORLD 2 Memory Match: Yes Ground Pound: Yes Limbo Dance: Yes Musical Mushroom: Yes (you'd also have to make the music stop as quickly as possible) Piranha's Pursuit: Not sure. Do you go faster the more you tap B here? Here, the path splits. It needs to be decided which of Worlds 3/4 and World 5 is quicker (there's 9 minigames on 3/4, and 8 on 5). On one hand, we have... WORLD 3 Crazy Cutter: Yes, by ensuring you get the quickest one, and just get the 80 points Buried Treasure: Yes Desert Dash: Yes, but quite minimal Tug Of War: Yes, I think? Teetering Towers: Possibly, but only very slight. WORLD 4 Bobsled Run: Yes Skateboard Scamper: Don't think so, only very marginal if anything Handcar Havoc: Yes Ghost Guess: Yes And on the other hand... WORLD 5 Cast Aways: No, but you can get a hell of a lot of coins Shy Guy Says: Not that I know of, but I'm sure you could luck manipulate it somehow Bumper Balls: Yes Treasure Divers: Yes Bombs Away: Yes, if you can get rid of all three opponents Deep Sea Divers: Yes, minimally Mushroom Mixup: Yes, and it'd look pretty damn cool if done well Tightrope Treachery: Yes, I'd say there is a way to ensure that they don't hit you (or at least not make you stop) Alternatively, you could save the trouble, and play 100% and do both. Either works. WORLD 6 Box Mountain Mayhem: Yes Pedal Power: Can't see why not Tipsy Tourney: Yes Hot Bob-Omb: No, but you should be able to make it so you don't get it or something Bombsketball: Yes, but not much quicker than a real player could do Hot Rope Jump: No, because I'm pretty sure the CPU players can't lose WORLD 7 Slot Machine: Not much, ideally you'd get a coin to save you picking up too many of them Crane Game: No, but you'd obviously put a person in the closest position Pipe Maze: No, except maybe ensuring the game gives you a maze where the first pipe is the winner Bowl Over: No Whack-a-Plant: Maybe a little, especially early on Mario Bandstand: No WORLD 8 Running of the Bulb: No Grab Bag: No Key-pa-Way: Maybe a little Balloon Burst: Yes Face Lift: No Bash 'n' Cash: No WORLD 9 Hammer Drop: Yes (see Coin Shower Flower) Slot Car Derby 1: Yes Shell Game: No Knock Block Tower: No Platform Peril: Maybe Slot Car Derby 2: Yes
More coins you get slower it is after the mini-game ends. Am I right?
Pipe Maze: No, except maybe ensuring the game gives you a maze where the first pipe is the winner
I will try
