Mario Party 4 ยท December 30 ยท Tentative

Road to MPC #39

Four players, one title, and Mario Party 4 for the 16th time. Here's what's on the line.

Michael

Michael

Chasing history

16 career titles

  • Won the last three (#36โ€“#38). Nobody has ever won four in a row.
  • His reign is 275 days old on December 30. A win puts Matt's record of 343 days in reach: he'd pass it on March 9.
  • Has won Mario Party 4 six times, the most of anyone.
4 of 6MP4 Minigame Stars

Won the Minigame Star in four of the six Mario Party 4 championships with bonus-star records.

Matt took the other two, including the most recent (#35).

He wins 52% of MP4 minigames, the best in this lineup.

Matt

Matt

Can he hold it together?

8 career titles

  • Defending Mario Party 4 champion (#35).
  • Mario Party 4 is his best game: 5 of his 8 titles.
  • Runner-up in the last two (#37 and #38).
1 of 6Halftime leads won

He's led at halftime six times and won only once.

If he's leading at the half, can he close it out this time?

Ryan

Ryan

The runner-up king

5 career titles

  • No title in three years: his last was #27 (Dec 2023).
  • 11 championships since. One more without a win ties his longest drought (12).
  • 0 for 9 in Mario Party 4.
8Second-place finishes

The most in MPC history.

Since his last title he's led at some point in 8 of 11 championships.

He was tied for the most stars after the final round in #28 and #37 and didn't win either.

Can he finally win it all?

Brendan

Brendan

The wildcard

4 career titles

  • Four straight last places (#35โ€“#38).
  • Has won Mario Party 4 before (#29).
16Chance Time landings

The most of anyone, in 19 championships (next: Matt, 13 in 38).

In #33 he was last going into the final round, five stars back. He landed on Chance Time, took seven stars from Michael and won the championship.

He was behind with 10 rounds to go in all three of his titles with round-by-round records.

Watch #33, round 30

But he's never out of it.
