Mario Party 4

Mario Party 4 (GameCube, 2002) is a classic party-game gem that brought the franchise to Nintendo’s next-gen console with 40+ minigames, six themed boards, and enhanced visuals. The item-based strategy (like the Mega Mushroom for stealing stars) and eight-player support (via multitap) made it a couch-competitive staple, though the luck-heavy mechanics can frustrate purists. A nostalgic must-play for Mario Party fans.
