Mario Party 9 marks a dramatic shift in the Mario Party series history. It is a notable turning point in a number of ways, most infamously that it was the first game in the Mario Party series that wasn’t developed by its original developer, Hudson Soft since Hudson was dissolved into Konami in 2012. Mario Party 9, while numerically in line with the rest of the games leading up to this point, is a complete left turn from the long-established formula, although this change doesn’t completely come from nowhere. So, what inspired the team at ND Cube to change things up when they took the helm, and did it work out in their favor? Well, welcome back to Mark’s Rec Room, with this long Mario Party 9 review and retrospective! Hopefully whether you love this game, hate it, or are somewhere in the middle, you have fun watching this behemoth of a video. Thanks so much for the support on the channel recently, and I am looking forward to making 2025 a big year for the channel. Thanks for watching! :)
