I just got Mario Party 7 for my birthday after a several year Mario Party hiatus (play one Mario Party, play 'em all, right?). But I'm having a lot of fun and have introduced my girlfriend to Mario Parties 1 and 2. It really brings me back to being 13 years old again when my friends and I would get together and play Mario Party and Super Smash Bros. together, and my N64 controllers slowly died... sigh. All of us used to have raw palms minus a layer of skin due to all the controller spinning games in the first Mario Party. Ahh, memories!


Man, the same thing happened to me!

Okay, the minigame was the one where you sit on a bicycle, and you spin the control stick to pedal the bike and power a light bulb before a Boo attacks you. I had read somewhere that the easiest way to beat it (being about 10 years old, my motor skills weren't the best) was to hold the controller on its side and spin with the palm of the hand. So I did, and I tore a huge chunk of skin off of my palm. Never played another Mario Party game since.
