There is a new party game in town, and some fans are claiming it’s the best one around. Fall Guys is a huge success for players looking for some wacky fun in a competitive environment. Mario Party is the game fans play on their couch to get cut down within their social circle.
With both these party games being a go-to game for the current world climate, fans are understandably divided on which game is best. Falls Guys is stuck to just PC and PlayStation 4, while Mario Party is only available on Nintendo Switch. Below are some of the reasons that Fall Guys is better and a few reasons why Mario Party is still the king of party games.
10 Fall Guys: Online
Fall Guys has managed to create an online game that pits 60 players against each other in courses made to only create pure chaos. This is a far cry from Mario Party, which only has the ability to let four characters play at the same time through local play. For fans looking to play online with their buddies, Fall Guys is the more accessible game.
This is also the go-to game for fans who have PC and PlayStation 4 as Mario Party will always be stuck on Nintendo consoles.
9 Mario: Couch Co-Op
While playing online is nice, some fans love to get more personal with their games. Mario Party is the perfect answer for families stuck inside or small get-togethers. Up to four players can comfortably fit into a game, and you don’t even need more than a single joy-con to have fun in the mini-games.
For players who don’t want to pay for an online subscription and don’t have a gaming computer Mario Party is the perfect answer.
8 Fall Guys: Short
While some games will go on for a bit longer than others, the mini-games in Fall Guys are meant to be short. Some games will be over in just a minute, while others will take a couple of minutes to get to their conclusion. Generally, though, players don’t have to worry about spending more than ten minutes on a game if they keep qualifying.
This can be great for players who find themselves with an awkward amount of time or are just looking for a game to play while another finishes downloading.
7 Mario: Adjustable Length
Mario Party can be as long or short as you need it to be; players can even set up for twenty-minute games. Unlike Fall Guys, players can also have a game set-up that will take a few hours to get through. The length of a Mario Party game is completely up to the player who sets up the game.
This is better for actual parties or family game nights where fans want to order a few pizzas and spend time with those they love.
6 Fall Guys: More Competition
With Mario Party, you are limited to the people you are going to be keeping against. For the most part, people only really play the game with people they actually know. In Fall Guys, though, fans get matched up with tons of random players each match of all skill types to make a true challenge.
For players looking to truly test their skills out, a few games of Fall Guys can really push their skills and luck to the limits.
5 Mario: Can Play With Friends Only
Some gamers hate being forced to play with people they don’t know. For fans looking for a more secluded gaming experience Mario Party is a great choice. Fans don’t have to worry about receiving random party invites or messages from spiteful players who accidentally got knocked off the side of the map during a race.
When you play Mario Party, you are either playing with the AI or you are playing with people you already know you can stand.
4 Fall Guys: Chaotic Mini-Games
In terms of chaos, Fall Guys easily wins. There are few games that are quite as chaotic as a race in this game. Not only do you have to worry about players, but the game’s obstacles are also hoping to give you a hard time. Not to mention the fact that the troublesome hammer Big Yeetus will be launching soon.
Gamers who want a game that is completely unpredictable can easily find just what they are looking for when playing Fall Guys.
3 Mario: Better Selection Of Mini-Games
For players looking for a large selection of mini-games, Mario Party is best. There are tons of games to choose from, including ones that are team-based or 1 V 3. Best of all, the games fans play are totally randomized and will depend on each individual player’s luck. There is also a wide variety of mini-game genres, ranging from races to drawing competitions.
This series has long been known for some of it’s unique and brutal mini-games.
2 Fall Guys: Costumes
One thing that Mario Party may never get is the option to dress up fan-favorite characters. Fall Guys, on the other hand, is all about putting beans in silly costumes. The developers for the game are very open about their willingness to collaborate with other brands, especially if it brings more quirky humor to the game.
While there aren’t a ton of costumes at the moment, more and more are going to be added throughout the games’ various seasons.
1 Mario: Iconic Characters
For fans looking for some of the most memorable characters in the gaming world, Mario Party is a great pick. Mario, Yoshi, DK, and even Waluigi are all in the game. The colorful cast is purely aesthetic, but most players will pick a favorite character, and many are even willing to fight for Yoshi.
Mario is one of the most iconic franchises in all of gaming, and the Mario Party series is here to prove that.
