Finally, my goals of creating a site strictly for my genre of choice and the competitive mini-games therein can be realized as now I have the means to which to execute it after so long...
Either Party Game or Mini-Game Center. Unsure ATM for the actual name… (More leaning towards the latter as I have a couple games that aren’t in the Party genre – see: SM64DS/New Mario Bros). I’m definitely taking the lead in this so don’t worry about that.
Encompasses the following games whereby there are instances of competition potential:
* indicates I have the game (for GBA, sometimes by Rom but not always)
(R) indicates I’ve rented it or tried it at some point and am familiar with how it’ll work for competition (some more than others, naturally)
Mario Party (1-8)
= I own 1, 6, and 7, Advance (ROM); tried them all except e-Reader but that won’t get added anyway
= 8 will be added once it gets released; will go more in-depth when I get it in June
*Fuzion Frenzy
*SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, PANTS! (GC/PS2/Xbox)
*SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, PANTS! (GBA)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, PANTS! (PC)
*Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii)
Rayman Raving Rabbids (GC/PS2/360/PS3) <-Same as above just different gameplay thus it’s separated.
Rayman Raving Rabbids (PC) <-See above.
Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA/DS)
(R) Super Mario 64 DS

I really have to head on over to Elite Scores and submit my (potential and definite) world records, eh, yoshifan? (Monkey Wars and Keepy Up FTW! :D) as I can’t get over the fact that I can’t add Banana Blitz’s mini-games… Grr…
Other Potential Additions:
(Any of the ones that are crossed out can easily be added. Most have been crossed out due to the speculation that there would be lack of interest. Some, though, were crossed out due to their lack of “competitiveness†– if you will.)
*I would love to add Shuffle and SATSR to the list as it doesn’t seem like I’ll see either (especially the former) anytime soon. It’ll knock something off of Rolko’s ever-growing, and changing to-do List I guess. Thoughts? (I’m sceptical myself; maybe I shouldn’t but I am starting to grow a little impatient with Shuffle.)
(*) indicates I have the game.
Ape Escape Academy (Seems fitting to add but I need more info on the game…)
Ape Escape Academy 2 (We’ll see when it comes out.)
*The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie – GBA (Has timed mini-games if interested.)
*Madagascar (Some competitive mini-games. Actually, not really…)
Crash Boom Bang!
Pacman Fever
SEGA Superstars
Fuzion Frenzy 2
My Street
Nickelodeon Party Blast
Shrek: Super Party
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
Cartoon Network Block Party
*Happy Feet (Have the Wii version – not by choice)
Disney’s Party
*Disney Sports: Motocross (1 competitive game and one somewhat competitive game of the only 3 available in the game. Not worth it…)
*Rugrats: I Gotta Go Party (A couple are competitive from the one’s I’ve briefly tried but people won’t bother with this anyway. Not worth it in the long run.)
Tamagotchi: Party On! (It’s still a Party Game… We’ll see when it comes out although I don’t particularly want to add it but I can if it’s competitive/there’s interest.)
* Seemingly, there is no (major gameplay) difference between WarioWare: Mega PartyGame$ and Mega MicroGame$. I’ve grouped them together, so you’re aware.
Categories:
Times, Scores, Coins, Bosses, Extra, Proximity, Survival, Challenges, Distance
Notes :
*Coins = Mario Party games
*Bosses = Warioware, Rayman
*Extra = Extra games from Mario Party Games such as Mecha Fly Guy.
*Proximity = Games like Gimme a Brake that require you to get as close to 0.00 as possible. Should I just place these under Times? It can work that way too as opposed to having one division for the category for the applicable games.
*Survival = Rayman Raving Rabbids: Bunny Hunts (Survival Mode)
*Challenges = Rayman Raving Rabbids
*Distance = Distance games (not “proximity to 0.00 gamesâ€) are, essentially “how far can you go†games. Examples are Mecha Fly Guy, Bowser Toss (Mario Party), Bunnies don’t know what to do with cows (Raving Rabbids) and Super Squirt (Barnyard).
*Question: Should mini-games that have a countdown timer have a separate category or just put them under times as they will be different?
Divisions:
Notes:
*For Mario Party mini-games, all record games will be added, sometimes indicated by the following: “Record†or “(R)â€.
*No luck-based or memory-based games will be added for any of the games. Most coin/bonus games will also not be added.
*Mini-games I’ve already eliminated for one reason or another will not appear on the lists. Only some mini-games (e.g, Rayman and some in Mario Party) will have a strikethrough through them.
*Most of the 1VS3 and the Item Mini-games will not be added unless (a) they are competitive or (b) they are record games. The 1VS3 mini-games that are added will only have divisions for the when you are placed by yourself/alone and against a team of 3. This is indicated by “(1)â€. Those sub-divisions will be known as “Single Playerâ€.
*Games that say “Counter†have a score tabulation during/at the end of the game. This does not refer to a countdown timer.
*If anyone knows why any of the WarioWare games shouldn’t be added, please let me know. I did cross out a couple cause I tried them. Otherwise, the rest haven’t been tested by me for competition. Your co-operation in this matter is appreciated as there are a lot of mini-games… In fact, this goes the same for any of the mini-games in any of the games, really. Also, if I’ve omitted a mini-game, it’s usually been for a good reason but if you have a reason why it should be added and/or you just want to know why I removed it from the list, just ask.

*Note: Regarding each of the mini-games, you can set the difficulty of the mini-games from Easy to Medium to Hard. This is different from the skill level of the computers (can be set from Silly to Normal to Smart). The mini-games change depending on the skill level you set. I’ve check out which ones are largely affected by this skill level setting to determine the best course of action regarding divisions for them. Otherwise, all below remaining mini-games have been checked for potential (good) competition and quite a few were removed: e.g, all 1VS1 mini-games and some of the 2VS2 mini-games.
