How Often We Played Brawl, Mario Party, etc During College

After considering how my college friends and I still play Backyard Football 2002 13 years after it came out, I wondered whether it was easily the most cost effective video game I/my parents had ever purchased. I don't have the data to see how much I played it in the past 4 years (since unfortunately I don't play it through Steam), but I do have the entire day-by-day log of my Wii for comparison to get a feel for determining if I'm correct.

I'm not.

I figured we played Mario Party the most, since we routinely would play it for 3+ hours straight. However, I was very, very, very, very wrong. I GREATLY underestimated how much my roommate (and I, and our friends, but mainly my roommate) had played Brawl over the past 4 years:

Totals	Minutes	Hours
Brawl	18483	308.05
Mario Party 2	3352	55.87
Super Mario 64	1318	21.97
Mario Kart 64	390	6.50
Total	23543	392.38

Those 18,483 minutes are equal to 12 days, 20 hours, and 3 minutes. Almost 2 full weeks of gameplay, and the vast majority (89%) occurred during freshman and sophomore year:

Game	Senior	Junior	Sophomore	Freshman
Brawl	920	1121	9296	7146
Mario Party 2	493	908	549	1402
Super Mario 64	231	455	612	20
Mario Kart 64	55	0	264	71
Total	1699	2484	10721	8639

Here's some more context that makes this even more obscene:

• I only had Brawl for one semester in each of those first two years: spring semester freshman year, and fall semester sophomore year
• This includes a stretch of 17 straight days in the month of November 2012 in which Brawl was played, totaling 28.83 hours in that time period alone
• There were only 9 days between August 18, 2012 (the start of school) and November 20, 2012 (Thanksgiving break, when I "lost" the game) in which Brawl was not played; this is when the entirety of the 9,296 sophomore year minutes were played. That's 83 out of 92 days, averaging 112 minutes per day
• The max time played in one day was 9 hours, 10 minutes (for Brawl)

I may have been wrong about my original idea, but assuming we played Mario Party more in each sitting was correct: Mario Party did average more time played (per days played): 139.67 minutes for Mario Party versus 116.98 minutes for Brawl.
