Mario Party memes center around the notorious reputation of the Nintendo franchise as the ultimate 'friendship-destroyer.' Since its debut on the N64, the series has been famous for its unpredictable mechanics—like the dreaded Chance Time or Boo stealing a Star—that can flip a game's outcome in a single turn. These memes typically highlight the contrast between a friendly board game session and the absolute betrayal that occurs when a player is robbed of victory. From Luigi's 'death stare' in later iterations to classic screenshots of characters crying over lost coins, the Mario Party meme genre resonates with anyone who has ever lost a decade-long friendship over a digital dice roll.
