Sneak ‘n’ Snore – Mario Party 2
Ah, Mario Party 2. Eventually, I would go back and play the original game, but this was my first Mario Party. No one truly forgets his or her first, and the late nights filled with shrieking laughter that come with it. Most of the laughter in my group of friends came from this game.
Players are tasked with approaching a Chain Chomp who’s snoozing away. He wakes up intermediately and each player has less than a second to stop walking and hide in their barrel. It’s basically Red Light, Green Light. That half a second where the Chain Chomp has woken up and is turning around is one of the most stressful moments of any Mario Party mini-game. Do you play things safe and immediately drop down into your barrel, or do you dare yourself to take one more step and get a leg over your opponents?
It’s a terrifyingly tense 30 seconds of fun.
