The year is 1980. And the sequence of events leading up to 1985 was drastic for the video game industry. Ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you, the video game industry went from $3.2 billion with a B to $100 million due to the crash, right? video game industry was in shampals. The reason I call Mario the greatest video game character ever created is because there was a specific title that was released titled Super Mario Bros in 1985 on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

By the end of that year, Nintendo sold 6.5. 1 million units largely driven by the success of Super Mario Bros. Went on to become one of the more successful video game franchise of all time and ultimately turned around the entire video game industry for the simple fact that everybody seen that the video game industry could produce high quality but also innovative, but more importantly, immersively enjoyable. Because if you don't know,

Super Mario was the first to do a lot of things. I mean, when it comes to leveling up, when it comes to power-ups, when it comes to scrolling levels, all of this seems normal now, right? Marvel, not Marvel, my fault, we was just talking about Marvel rivals. Mario is the greatest video game character

of all time for the development that happened via Nintendo that ended up influencing the gaming industry to the point where now we recognize that Super Mario Bros. had sold over 40 million copies as far as back when it released in 1985, up to 1996, making it one of the best selling video games of all time. And it instilled the trust. back into video games as far as from a consumer standpoint. Because a lot of people lost hope that video games was just a lost cause. And if you play video games, you was just lazy and never was going to amount to anything because you're wasting your time because all of these are low quality products.

But when Mario came out, it enlightened the public that video games can actually be mentally stimulating and also enjoyable as far as a problem solving aspect. Now, of course, today is not just about Mario, but I had to give a crash course as far as why I put so much respect on Mario's name because if you don't know, analytic dreams, oh, my fault, I'll press my drop, analytic dreams video on Spotify. I see the video along with the audio because basically there's a reason why Mario is right next to Notorious BiG on my banner that I created. Basically, I put together. what I believe is the most impactful gaming characters of all time and of course hip hop musicians of all time. With that being said, Mario ultimately, in my opinion, is the most popular and the most influential video game character of all time. Now I want to beat the dead horse, but I just want you all to know how much respect I have for Mario as far as just revealing a creation that ended up saving an entire video game industry.

So anyways, let's get into the reason that we're even talking about Mario, right? Super Mario Party, Jamboree, was just released not too long ago. And essentially, with this game coming out exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, because Lord knows if there's one mascot for a platform that's been carrying it, like the 2016 LeBron James for the Cavaliers, it's Mario for Nintendo. Nintendo. Nintendo. That's funny.

Is that the female version? No, it's funny. My fault. For Nintendo. Now, of course, Zelda fans may get a little upset up that, at that, you know, rightfully so. I do believe Zelda is the robin to Mario's Batman as far as holding the Nintendo up to a certain stature as far as in the video game industry.

But nonetheless, Mario is the Beyonce of the group when it comes to Nintendo's IP. and they will have the exclusive rights to Mario to the day that brand goes under. And hopefully that never happens. But, you know, just putting it in perspective. So anyways, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch is where you can play this game, right? It's developed by Nintendo Cube, formerly ND Cube, known for Mario Party since 2012. And it always used to work. They didn't always used to work on Mario Party.

they basically just recently started to work on Mario Party because I believe they picked it up since yeah so they picked it up in 2012 with Mario Party 9 because before that actually I don't know who developed it before but anyways Nintendo Q picked it up in 2012 with the first one end of development being Mario Party 9 so with that being that being said exclusively on a Nintendo Switch so you already know when it comes to sales they're going to be the top dogs and rightfully so as when Mario drops everybody else moves out the way as far as the units and weekly sales when it first

came out it sold around 73,000 I mean talk about having first week sales for a video game right? That's why you should definitely follow you know hit the bell icon to be notified when I put out content because this keeps you up to date with the gaming and music industry right? So as far as

73,000 first week sales for the Mario Party Jamboree. It did not stop there because it had a 30% week over week sales surge, which isn't common in other entertainment fields, especially in music. Usually it goes down a little bit, especially over time. But for Super Mario Party Jamboree, it was the opposite. So as far as currently, this game is increasing because They've restocked it a lot as far as sales increasing on a Nintendo platform because, of course, Mario has a plethora of other games that people are playing as far as Mario and Luigi Brotherhip, as far as Mario Car 8 Deluxe, as far as Minecraft, as far as Animal Crossing. There's a lot of games you can play on the Switch that's very, I'm just immensely popular,

has its own cult-like fan base. Also, as far as Nintendo, when it comes to its combined, weekly sales a lot of people don't know that they also put up bigger numbers than a playstation or an xbox because the nintendo switch has been around for a while and obviously people want the nintendo switch too but why when weekly it's selling at least 80 000 units as far as overall and the economy right so with that being said the traditional mario party formula is here once again and jamboree is no different as with over 110 mini-games, turn-based gameplay and unique board mechanics

basically introduce jamboree buddies for strategic advantages. And that's the difference between this game and the other Mario parties. And also, there are new pro rules mode reducing reliance on luck because I'm not going to lie to you. As far as watching RDCs, sea world and the amount of mickeyness that happens when Leland wins, I'm not going to lie to you. Luck seems to be the only way to win a Mario Party because I was watching a play through of them playing Jamboree, literally like the game we're covering right now because they always

play Mario Party. So it was actually the most up-to-date one. It was playing Jamboree. Dylan was up by like three, four, five stars, right? At the end, he had some type of. role that he had to give like majority of his stars at Leeland and he ended up winning the entire game because that was the last round and stuff like that that makes you realize that this game I'm not going to say it's entirely on luck but I mean goodness if you win every mini game and at the

end have to give all your stars to somebody else I mean what else do you call it right so as far as that you know this game supports up to 20 players and multi player right or eight players in corop okay so supports multi player up to 20 players players which is titled cupa what in the world a cupa cupa the lawn a cupa the line a cupa the line i know they're trying to play off marathon but i ain't going to lie to you that's still hard to pronounce cupa the line anyways or eight players and cooperative bowser kaboam squad and then of course the robust of characters is still here as this game has 22 playable characters the largest roster to date with new additions like ninji and pauline of course pauline from

super mario odyssey that was the one where i think that was the first time ever mario had his hat able to do a plethora of different things as far as power ups and things like that like his hat would like basically turned into a boomerang like captain america shield and it was a very unique addition because who would have thunk to update marieffauts and Mario to give his hat, Captain America's shield like abilities, right? It's similar to when Spider-Man, an IP that's been around for forever, was given the addition of movable eyes. Obviously, in the animated show, it animated the eyes, well, animate the mask

so you can see the expression in real life, well, in current day, you know, with the evolution and live action, adding it to the point where it's moving and live action and it still seems plausible, I think those are necessary innovations to keep this longstanding IP relevant, right? And not relevant in a sense that's going to fall off. I mean, we're talking about Mario and Spider-Man, right? But still, in the sense that still upholding creativity

to the highest level to always be adding to an already iconic character. So anyways, overall, a lot of people have been having a little criticism for this video game, especially compared to other Mario parties, but they do acknowledge that it's pretty much a solid game. I mean, it's kind of hard to mess up the Mario Party format, right? So that's why, in general,

it's been the top-selling game on Nintendo since it came out. As far as initially when it came out early this month to now, it's the top by far. So when it comes to other games, as far as Dragon Quest 3, Mario, I mean, if y'all want to know the top five, basically Super Mario Party Jamboree is number one selling game on the Nintendo Switch platform. Then you have Dragon Quest 3, Mario Car 8 Deluxe, Minecraft, and then, you guessed it,

Mario again with Mario and Luigi Brotherhood. It's a reason why we put so much respect on Mario's name, because not only does he uphold just a video game perception, but he also upholds its, you know, his original developers with Nintendo. So what that being said, it's really not too much else to get into because this game is already fantastic.

So we're just going to praise Mario a little bit more, right? Because how can you break down a Mario party game besides telling people that it's a lot of online players that can play at once and there's multiple mini games

throughout the term-based gameplay with unique board mechanics, right? So with that out the way, going back to ultimately glazing Mario I'll just play no ditty that Super Mario 64 is another stand down for Mario because one of the things about Super Mario 64

is that it sold 11.9 million units worldwide while am I talking about that for the simple fact that Mario went from impacting the video game industry and saving it literally back in the 1980s with Super Mario Bros which for those old enough to remember

it was a 2D game right so when it made the jump to 3D obviously people would be a little skeptical because now this is not my Mario what is this three-dimensional type of realm that you have Mario in i'm used to like the pixelated 2d format right then of super mario 64 came out just cementing again that they are just leaps and bounds ahead of the competition you know how people i mean at this point it's a little less because Mario comes out so repetitively but as far as the anticipation built up for GTA 6 that's how Mario was back in the day because when Super Mario 64

came out it was literally revolutionary for the 3D space just like it was for the 2D's power-ups and the things that it had as far as gameplay mechanics so when a 3D came out and as far as the camera control

analog movement back in that day it was not it was like nowadays it's normal because everybody's then copied it but back in that day it was really innovative to the point where now you've innovated on a 2D front saving the video game industry came out with a 3D model innovating on camera control analog movement all type of just 3D elements that we've never seen before going from 2D the 3D the game soundtrack being straight classic I mean of course people remember the the bomb on battlefield's song a track off of the soundtrack being one of the more recognizable tracks ever in video game soundtrack history. So when I talk about Mario, it's not from a sense of biasness. It's from an objective standpoint as far as literally saving the video game industry,

as far as it crashing from 1983 to 1985. And then 1986, Super Mario came out. And then now people are getting back into video games because they reinstalled confidence that video games could be high quality and obviously it's set the stage of quality because it innovated on so many different levels. Like, do y'all not know how basic of mechanics that power-ups are now?

Like, as far as having power-ups, as far as having just overall leveling up, it's just so much that the non-linear pathways that they set, I mean, as far as, the game design. All of these seem simple now because it literally was innovated

and founded by Super Mario Bros. Levels, power-ups, non-linear path, all of that was taken from Super Mario Bros. And all of that is thanks to Super Mario Bros. So yeah, man, Mario's a goat and now rest my case. So with that being said, click my link to your in my bio.

Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Super Mario Party? Jamboree. And at the end of the day, have you ever played Super Mario in? If you haven't, would you be willing to give this latest Super Mario party a try?
