Banquet Favoritism is an umbrella game developed by Rocky. It is a successor to Brutal Favoritism and takes place in the large combined universe established in the story of Brutal. Banquet Favoritism is a party game, taking after the format of both the Mario Party series--namely 7 and Super--and the board game Monopoly. The game is developed for the Nintendo Switch and is to be released on April 9, 2019, being the creator’s half-birthday.
Contents
Background[]
After the chaos of Brutal Favoritism's campaign, all of the universes that were molded together now form one solid nation known as Favoritismia. The unification was difficult for many residents of the nation, and conflicts have broken out across the land.
The leaders of the nation decided to host a large banquet to unify the people. As he started to make preparations, Lubba realized that the Banquet Maker needs an excess of Power Stars to function. He decided to recruit some of the civilians in Favoritismia to go to distant lands and compete for the local Stars. Koopa Kid joined Lubba, in search of a new party too crash. Tom Nook also approached the partygoers and asked them to get the housing market going again. Tom also brought along several of his raccoon colleagues to monopolize on the need for shops suited for all kinds of patrons.
Gameplay[]
Banquet Favoritism is a party umbrella game, taking many design concepts from the Mario Party series and the board game Monopoly. Four players traverse across a game board collecting Cash (💵), which serves the same purpose as Coins of the Mario Party series. Though there are items that can be bought, Cash is to be spent on two things primarily: Stars and Property.
Beginning of Game[]
During Game[]
Stars cost 20 Cash apiece and are vital to winning after the game is over; whoever owns the most Stars is the winner. But Property is equally important. If a player lands on a space or passes a facility owned by you, you earn a fair amount of their Cash and, in extreme cases, even a Star. The price of Property varies from turn to turn, and depending on how major the space or building is.
End of Game[]
The game ends when a player has lost all of his cash and has “declared bankruptcy”. After that, the game will end and Bonus Stars will be awarded. There are several Bonus Stars that can be earned, but only three will be distributed in a game. These Bonus Stars include:
- Event Star: This is awarded to the player who triggered the most Event Spaces.
- Mini Star: This is awarded to the player who won the most minigames.
- Property Star: This is awarded to the player who purchased the most Property.
- Moneybag Star: This is awarded to the player who had the highest amount of Cash at any point in the game.
- Travel Star: This is awarded to the player who moved the greatest amount around the board.
- Debtors' Star: This is awarded to the player who spent the most Cash at others' Property.
- Weapon Star: This is awarded to the player who used the most Weapons during the game.
Game Modes[]
The various game modes can be accessed by going to different parts of the Faceship, the game’s main overworld. Functionally, it’s almost identical to its appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Super Party[]
Super Party is the main game mode of the game and was probably what you were wanting to play initially when you went out and bought this game. You access Super Party by stepping up to the ship’s steering wheel. There are several different versions of the Super Party that can be played, including:
- Party Royale: Four players against each other on a board.
- Tag Team Royale: Two teams of two against each other.
- Dueling Royale: Two players alone against each other.
- 8-Man Bonanza: By connecting two separate Switch systems, eight players can play against each other on the same board.
- Solitaire Royale: One player plays alone trying to buy Stars and get across the board as fast as possible, while Lubba and Koopa Kid throw hindrances in your path.

Characters[]
Many of the playable characters are ones that would have appeared in Brutal if they had potential as a fighter. There may be a couple characters that carry over, but most will be original picks.
HAMMER BRO. | |||||
"My grandpappy's hammer is gonna strike you down, man! Here it comes!" |
One of Bowser’s elite minions. Ever since his debut in the original Super Mario Bros., Hammer Bro. has been one of the most powerful and aggravating foes to come across in a level. Some of his appearances have been comedic, such as TTYD’s Hamma in the Glitz Pit and this website’s several thousand subspecies.
Hammer Bro. was added to this game due to my enjoying playing as him in Super Mario Party, maining him alongside Bowser Jr. and Luigi. He has also always been one of my favorite enemies in various Mario games. | ||||
1 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 7 |
Hammer Bro.’s die is fairly well-balanced. You have good odds of either rolling a one or five, which can help if you’re trying to reach a space close or far. | |||||
SPIKE | |||||
"My lips are chapped..." |
Spike is a fairly uncommon enemy in the Mario series, showing up when you least expect or want them. Their main warafre method is rolling or throwing spiked balls they regurgitate on command. Variants of them, including the Snow Spike, have actually managed to become even more annoying than before.
Spike was added to Banquet Favoritism due to my liking his character concept as a whole. Upon playing through much of Super Mario Party, I realized that Spike was the “laborer” of sorts in the mini games and plaza and felt bad for him. Also he’s a joke in Mario Tennis Aces. | ||||
0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
Spike’s die causes him to move very slowly, riddled with ones and zeroes. It can be helpful when trying to avoid a dangerous space. | |||||
CAPTAIN TOAD | |||||
"Ready for adventure!" |
Captain Toad is the fearless leader of the Toad Brigade. He obtained his own personal spin-off game in which he ventured through the lands to not only collect gems and Power Stars, but also fight a bird to save Toadette.
Captain Toad was added to the game due to Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker being one of my favorite Switch games. Also, Captain Toad has always been a likable character before I played Tracker, in games such as Galaxy and Odyssey. | ||||
+3 💵 | +2 💵 | +1 💵 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
Captain Toad’s dice is primarily designed to obtain him extra Cash, though the good chance at 4s is helpful. | |||||
MAGOLOR | |||||
"I'm amazed at how kind everyone is! You're all such easy targ─ Er, I mean, easygoing folks!" |
Magolor is the captain of the legendary ship Lor Starcutter. When his ship crashed into Dream Land, Kirby made a return to Dream Land so he could help him out. Eventually, Magolor betrayed Kirby so he could steal the throne to Halcandra...or something like that.
Magolor was added to the game because Kirby's Return to Dream Land was the first Kirby game I played. Since playing it, I grew to love the franchise and started trying more installments. Also, the plot twist of Magolor being the villain blew my mind the first time I played the game. | ||||
2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 12 |
Magolor’s dice is very heavy in 3’s, but the possibility of a high 12 makes it all worth it. | |||||
BANDANA DEE | |||||
"This just became our home away from home! Now we can keep adventuring here without any worries!" |
Bandana Dee is the honorary fourth main character of the Kirby franchise, debuting in the same game as Magolor. He is King Dedede’s right hand man and works alongside him, but is not a tyrant like him and seems to be more of a hero like Kirby.
Bandana Dee was added to this game due to my admiration of the Waddle Dee species as a whole, liking their design and also that they turned one of them into a legitimate character. His spear is also an interesting variation from the hammer/sword/inhalation of the other characters. | ||||
+2 💵 | +2 💵 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 3 |
Bandana Dee’s dice is not designed to move you very far, which is good if there’s something nearby you’d like to reach. | |||||
ASH KETCHUM | |||||
"Misty, please. Only one of us can hallucinate at a time." |
Ash Ketchum is the undisputed star of the Pokémon anime series and has never appeared in the main games, technically making him non-canonical to his own series. His goal in life is to become a Pokémon Master with his partner Pokémon, Pikachu. And, after circumnavigating the known Pokémon world, he finally did when he hit Alola! We're all very proud of him. Ash was added to the game due to my fond appreciation of the Pokémon anime as a child. I almost removed him when revisiting the game as a grown-up guy, but nostalgia is strong. Plus, the fact that he's finally a champion is just mind blowing. | ||||
3 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 |
Ash’s dice is sided based off of the best series of anime in my opinion--3 being Hoenn, 5 being Unova, and 6 being Kalos. Each number is evenly balanced which gives you good odds at each. | |||||
EDNA MODE | |||||
"I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now." |
Edna is the designing guru of all superheroes of the ’60s. She creates all of their suits, though never with a cape. She’s very passionate about that. Also her home is freaking lit beyond belief, I want a laser gate like that. Edna was added to the game because of the nostalgia I have for The Incredibles, and the strong appreciation I have for Edna as a character. | ||||
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14 |
Edna’s dice is reminiscent of my feelings towaards the sequel. I believed strongly it wouldn’t happen, but there was a small chance it’d happen after fourteen years of waiting. | |||||
PIRANHA PLANT | |||||
"Prepare to be ensnared, mystified, and devoured!" |
The Piranha Plant is one of the most common enemies found in the Mario franchise. It is often seen in pipes and pops up out of them at the most inconvenient times. They have many subspecies, namely ones that can spit poison, shoot fire, and even one made of bones. Piranha Plant was added to the game due to my unbridled excitement for their addition to Ultimate, as well as the anger they incite from me in TTYD in every single fight I have with them. | ||||
-2💵 | -2💵 | -2💵 | -2💵 | 7 | 7 |
Considering how likely it is that Piranha Plant’s die would result in losing two Cash, it likely wouldn’t be worth it in most scenarios. | |||||
VENOM | |||||
"Eyes. Lungs. Pancreas. So many snacks, so little time." |
Venom is an alien creature from outer space that came to San Francisco on a LIFE Foundation rocket. Being a symbiote, he needed a host, and found an ideal host in Eddie Brock. Brock at first was weirded out by it, but eventually the two became an unstoppable crime fighting team.
Venom was added to the game due to my great love of the Venom movie that came out in October. Tom Hardy did a brilliant job playing both Eddie and Venom. | ||||
6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
Venom’s die is literally all sixes on every side, which is helpful if you want to move six spaces. | |||||
DOOPLISS | |||||
"Hey, hang on, there, Slick! What are you doing, interrupting my ME time?" |
Doopliss is a Duplighost who appeared as a chapter villain in TTYD. He was turning villagers into pigs every time he rang his bell, until Mario stopped him. He proceeded to steal Mario’s identity and his credit cards before he was stopped.
Doopliss has always been one of my favorite villains in all of Mario, Slick. He started off as this major threat, then turned into a lowly Shadow Siren, then became an actor with Flurrie in the epilogue. It’s a beautiful character arc for a beautiful man...if that’s even what he looks like... | ||||
4 | 4 | 4 | 7 | 4 | 4 |
Doopliss’s die is all fours, except for the fourth side which is actually a seven. Gotcha! | |||||
MONDO GECKO | |||||
"Wassup, bros! I like your vibe!" |
Mondo Gecko is probably a staple of the TMNT franchise. But I have been completely removed from the TMNT fandom until I saw Mutant Mayhem and fell in love with Paul Rudd's character. He's such a chill, charming guy, and a master skateboarder! What's not to love!
Mondo was added to the game because of exactly what I said above. Mondo was probably my favorite character in the movie. He had a few solid quips and supported the turtles in really radical ways. And, I mean, come on. Paul Rudd. | ||||
2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 0 |
Mondo's die is all even numbers! There's also a zero thrown in just to keep things wacky. Try to keep up. | |||||
LARRY | |||||
"Here's a tip for you. A nice squeeze of lemon gives any dish a refreshing kick."" |
He may have been invented less than a year ago, but Larry has cemented himself as one of the all-time greatest gym leaders in Pokemon history! He's just a burnt-out businessman who probably hasn't seen his family in a few weeks.
Larry was added because of how charming he is. He absolutely deserves all the hype sent his way; the man is a solid fighter and certainly looks the part. The next step is to convince Geeta to give him a raise. | ||||
3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
Larry's die is entirely composed of threes. I'm not sure why, he just gives off three vibes to me. | |||||
RANDALL PEARSON | |||||
"Life feels like Pac-Man sometimes, I guess." |
A level-headed, smooth-talking family man, Randall is one of the greatest protagonists to ever be produced on television. Portrayed by Sterling K. Brown, Randall is one of three triplets trying to navigate life amidst ridiculous, nonstop drama. He's the wittiest guy ever and is crazy ambitious.
Randall was added as my plea for you--yes, you--to start watching This is Us. It's got the most unique storytelling, the most charming characters, basically everything you'd want in a drama/comedy series. Randall's my favorite character, but the rest of the cast is also unbelievably good. | ||||
2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 7 |
Randall's die is well-balanced. Want to move a reasonable amount of spaces? Go right ahead. | |||||
ELEPHANT MARIO | |||||
"Wowie-zowie!" |
A multiversal variant of Mario in which he ventured to the Flower Kingdom, became an elephant for an unexplained reason, and never looked back. Led by the noble caterpillar Prince Florian, Elephant Mario was vital to saving the Flower Kingdom from Castle Bowser's terror.
Elephant Mario was added for two key reasons. First, this is easily the goofiest and most out-of-pocket power-up ever conceived in the Mario universe. Second, Mario Wonder is the best platformer I've played since Celeste. Go play it. | ||||
3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
Elephant Mario's die is all threes and ones. If there's something lucrative right in front of you, use this die and snatch it. | |||||
GANON | |||||
"At last! Hyrule is MINE! GAHAHA! Wait...where did Hyrule go?" |
Ganon is a manifestation of Hyrule's fiercest enemies. This Ganon is not the same as Ganondorf, who constantly seeks conquest of Hyrule and the Triforce and what have you. Rather, this Ganon is a li'l Cranky villager in Animal Crossing, only moving into your town when using Ganondorf's amiibo. He's completely harmless and is just here to have a good time.
Ganon was added because dang it he just might be my new favorite Cranky villager, up there with Apollo and Octavian. I recently got an amiibo emulator and immediately added Ganon to my town. He's so goofy looking but he's fun to have here. His house has classic Legend of Zelda bombs, and a couple thrones. | ||||
-3 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 8 |
Ganon's die is all over the dang place. He might move a whole eight spaces, he might move backwards, or he might not move at all! |
Non-Playable Characters[]
Spaces[]
Name | Description | ||
Blue Space | Landing on this space gives you 3 Cash. | ||
Red Space | Landing on this Space takes away 3 Cash from you. | ||
Purple Space | This space has a 50/50 chance of either taking or giving 3 Cash. | ||
Event Space | Also known as the ! Space, this space triggers an event to occur. The events vary depending on what board you’re playing on. | ||
Duel Space | Duel Spaces pit two characters against each other in a Duel Minigame. Whoever wins gets a reward. | ||
Battle Space | This space triggers a four-player Battle Minigame, causing every character to contribute 10-40 Cash. The game’s winner receives a majority of the Cash contributed. | ||
Lubba Space | Landing on a Lubba Space will summon Lubba to your space. He first triggers a Lubba Minigame. If you win, he will spin the Faceship Roulette, which can give you one of the following prizes:
After this ends, the Lubba Space becomes a Koopa Kid Space. | ||
Koopa Kid Space | Landing on a Koopa Kid Space summons a Koopa Kid, who laughs at you and starts a Koopa Kid Minigame. If you win the Minigame, he’ll leave begrudgingly. If you lose, one of the following bad things will happen via the Koopa Kid Roulette:
At the end of his work, the Koopa Kid Space becomes a Lubba Space. | ||
Bad Luck Space | Landing on this space causes some random hindrance to occur to you, filling you with sorrow and regret. | ||
Doom Luck Space | A crack appears in the ground and drops you into it. When you land, you hit a spike that drives all of your Cash off your person and spits you out back at the start. This space becomes a Purple Space upon being used. There is only one on the board, making it really crappy RNG if you’re the one to land on it. | ||
Good Luck Space | A four leaf clover appears and drops some random, mild reward on your person. | ||
Stellar Luck Space | One of the rarest spaces in the game, the Stellar Luck Space gives you some random, phenomenal reward. It becomes a Purple Space after its usage, thus making it even rarer. There is only one per board. |
Boards[]
For an in-depth look at the board details, see here.
The boards follow a similar structure as Mario Party's. However, they've been revamped to follow a less linear structure. When the game begins, the path immediately forks into two to four different paths. This opens the door for more strategy. The boards are organized in order of difficulty, from least to most.
Stores[]
On every board, there are five stores in various places. Each store serves a slightly different purpose and is managed by a different member of the Raccoon Syndicate.
Store Owner | Store | Purpose |
Tanooki Mario |
Mario Mart | “Oh, yeah! Items for you! Wahoo!” Tanooki Mario is a visage of Mario from another timeline, in which he donned the Tanooki Suit and never took it off, now creating an identity for himself as a true raccoon. He operates the Mario Mart, which can be found early on in the board. It sells cheaper, more common items throughout the game. |
Timmy and Tommy Nook |
Nookling Junction | “Welcome, welcome! Come on in! Please buy!” Timmy and Tommy Nook operate another item shop found on the board. It sells rarer, more expensive items that serve greater purposes. As time goes on, the shop grows into a bigger and better enterprise, selling greater goods at a slightly better price. |
Tom Nook |
Nook's Homes | “Ah, you're searching for property, hm? Good, good! Come on in!” Nook's Homes is the real estate central of the board. A major part of the game is purchasing property around the board so players that pass or land on your property will owe you Cash. Tom Nook allows you to view buildings or spaces that are for sale and get you to build your empire on the board. |
Sunshine Raccoon |
The Star | “Ah, you've come here for THAT, have you? Yes, very good.” The salesraccoon from Sunshine carries stars which you can purchase when you pass him. He moves to a different spot on the board every time the star is purchased. If you have enough Cash to purchase two stars, he will instead give you a Shine Sprite, which has the value of two stars. |
Rocket |
Heavy Artillery | “Aw yeah, now we’re talking! Let’s get you some weapons!” Rocket operates a weapons dealership known as Heavy Artillery, found in a far corner of the board. The weapons he sells can be used to rob players of their Cash, or to hold up their Property and claim it for yourself. |
RJ |
No Shop; Travels the Board | “With Spuddies, enough is never enough!” RJ, from the film Over the Hedge, doesn't own a shop. Instead, he hides out at a random space waiting for someone to land there. When someone arrives, he tosses them a can of Spuddies. Within, there may be lots of Cash, a Property Ticket, or even a Star. He then flees to a different space. |
Rigby |
No Shop; Travels the Board | “Hm! Hm hm!” TBA |
Trivia[]
- Although development of a party genre umbrella game has long a project I’ve wanted to create, it was the creation of Roulette Rush by Krexxal (t∣b∣c) and my acquisition of Super Mario Party that truly sparked its creation.
- The Spike render was created by Computerboy64 (t∣b∣c) for Bowser: Minion Battle Royale.
