Clue goes through the initial public response to the game and how it dissapointed people, due to people expecting a traditional Mario Party game. The video is a love letter to this game and how it was misunderstood as a Mario Party game. It also presents changes to make the game more enjoyable, including changing the name and title screen to Mario’s Carnival Quest. Quality of life changes include:

  • Player starts with 15 mushrooms instead of 3
  • Mushroom challenge minigames happen every 10 turns instead of 3
  • Mushroom challenge minigames pay out 10 mushrooms instead of 3

This project was a colaboration between Clue, OrigamiScienceGuy, and Zarithya. This is now his second project as a game mod, previously releasing the significantly improved Garfield+ for Windows PC.
