10 Frustrating Mario Party Moments That Ruined Friendships

7. Honeycomb Havoc

This minigame at least has some amount of strategy to it, but it seems practically designed for you to mess with your friends.

With this one, everyone is lined up in front of a tree and a block that either reads 1 or 2. When it's your turn, you step up to the block and hit it, and that number of items fall. You want to get the fruit and the coins but not the beehives, which will eliminate you from the game.

But the block rotates so slowly that it really isn't hard to screw over the person behind you with just some basic math. 

Let's take a look at the example in this picture. Wario's about to step up, so to get two pieces of fruit for himself, he would hit 2. But by doing that, he's also screwing over Donkey Kong, because no matter what, Donkey Kong's now going to be stuck with the beehive.

But if you want to get really diabolical, maybe Mario's been screwing with Wario all game, and now Wario wants some Red Wedding style revenge. He could roll a 1, missing out on a piece of fruit, but then that sets up Donkey Kong to roll a 1, screwing over Mario who's now stuck with the honeycomb. 

Basically, this is the game that taught us all what it means to troll.
