        I had this same issue (2 player on Mario Party 2, haha), never solved it.
        We could play for 15-20 minutes, then it would slow down over the next minute, then lock up (would have to hard power off the pi)
        It was like a year and a half ago now, so I believe it was the Pi 3B...and I really can't remember what little troubleshooting I did, I think just trying some the different cores and other video resolutions.
        I mainly just saw this thread and wanted to add that I had the same problem, over a year ago

          @shavecat I know that some of the mini games on Mario party one will cause a freeze with some emulators on the pi. Not sure about Mario party 3.

          At this point just wait until retropie is up and running on the pi 4. It's not worth the frustration on early pi models.

              @shavecat in lr-mupen64plus-next there is a core option titled Max texture cache size to control the size of the texture cache. On Raspberry Pi it should default to 1500, on Switch to 4000 and in any other system to 8000.

              This option is very related to the issue you are experiencing, if you have it set to anything but 1500, try to lower it down and see if it helps.
