** In Brent's ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvWRzpldPM Raid Boss session]], Vernias manages to make Brent lose a Star via on the penultimate turn Chance Time, Nick uses a Golden Pipe to purchase a Star that Brent could've gotten with a high roll, and Sophist uses his Golden Pipe to visit a nearby Boo to steal Brent's last Star, thus putting him in last place. However, if he rolls a 2 or 3, Brent could land on Chance Time and go for swap Stars, thus putting him out of last place and netting himself the victory... He promptly rolls a ''10''.

However, if he rolls a 2 or 3, Brent could land on Chance Time and go for swap Stars, thus getting him out of last place and netting himself the victory... He promptly rolls a 10.
** Near the end of their game on ''VideoGame/MarioParty3''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyWk-1CcBSo Woody Woods]], Vernias allows Sophist to steal all his coins via Boo with the plan of using his Bowser Phone to get ''50'' coins on the next turn, putting him in 3rd place over Brent with ''37''. However, [[DidntThinkThisThrough he accidentally botches this plan when he wins the next minigame]] and is now unable to get the coins from Bowser, leading to him using his Bowser Phone on Brent and getting Bowser's Coin Potluck, losing all of his coins and leaving Brent with ''7''. After a Battle Minigame leaves Brent with ''14'' coins and Vernias with ''5'', Vernias still has a chance to overtake Brent for 3rd so long as he wins the final minigame... only for the minigame in question to be a team minigame, with Brent on his team, making it impossible for him to get 3rd.
** Near the end of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2cg5xP6qCE We uncovered a BROKEN Mario Party loophole...]]", Nick and Brent are at massive lead with ''5'' Stars to Sophist and Vernias' ''0''. However, the latter team manage to aquire themselves a Golden Pipe, a Double Card, ''and'' a Capsule Ticket, meaning if they manage to land on the Star Space and use the Double Card to net themselves ''4'' Stars (as Toadette gives away 2 Stars during the last 3 turns), use the Golden Pipe on the final turn to possibly aquire ''2'' more Stars, and land on one of the two Event Spaces on the top of the board to possibly receive ''2'' Stars from the Caspule Machine, they could potentially make a big comeback with a whopping ''8'' Stars. But despite their efforts, they end up not obtaining a ''single'' Star, as Vernias misses the Star Space ''4'' times in a row, while Sophist only gets a meager ''3'' coins from the Capsule Machine.
