::::How in the world do the handheld games not count? Aren't they supposed to be part of the main series as well and not add-ons? Because generally, people tend to agree that the "main" installments are the console and handheld games, and nothing more. {{User:Lcrossmk8/sig}} 22:13, 10 December 2017 (EST) | ::::How in the world do the handheld games not count?

::::::Handheld games aren't considered part of the "main" series for several reasons. Firstly, none of them follow the numbered system that the console variations employ. When Mario Party Advance was the next entry, it was "Mario Party Advance", not "Mario Party 6", and like most handheld Mario Party games, it was unorthodox and didn't really advance the formula, but rather did its own thing. The only exception was Mario Party DS, and even then you can argue that that game wasn't even trying to be an eight successor like how 8 was a successor to 7, since it also sorta did its own thing by being more single-player focused with the whole collectibles and taking advantage of DS hardware. The other games Island Tour, Star Rush, and Top 100, however were also unorthodox to their console entries drastically and to each other. Finally, the Top 100 doesn't even include handheld minigames, despite the game clearly intended being a celebration of past Mario Party titles, despite the game also being a handheld installment. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:35, 11 December 2017 (EST) | |||
