9 Best Nintendo Spin-Off Video Games - Ranked

Games have been used since their inception to bring people closer together, to build bonds and connections, but there exists a type of game that refuses this simple idea - one that wants to destroy your petty human relationships the way only a silly game can. They're called friendship breakers, and you probably know many of them, like Monopoly or Uno, but one sits above the rest, on a throne of anger and hurt, and it is called Mario Party.

This infuriating party game pits you against your friends in a series of mini games that is designed to reward cruelty. The more vicious the player, the better they fare in Mario Party.

Despite the short lifespan of most mini game titles, it has endured because of the Mario brand and the strong emotions it evokes. There is nothing that comes close to matching the rage of having your coins stolen from you by your once good friend, and there's not even a board to flip.
