'''''Super Mario Party''''' is a game in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 5, 2018. It is the twenty-fourth installment in the series overall, the eleventh home console installment in the series, and the first home console ''Mario Party'' game to not be a numbered installment since the original ''[[Mario Party]]'' game.

Described by Nintendo as a "complete relaunch"<ref name="E3SiteHomepage">https://e3.nintendo.com/#the-party-comes-to-nintendo-switch-with-this-complete-relaunch-of-the-mario-party-series</ref> and "complete refresh"<ref name=E3Site /> of the ''Mario Party'' series when revealed at E3 2018, the game "goes back to the four-player basics as [players] take turns and race across the board searching for Stars"<ref name=E3Site /> as seen in the ''Mario Party'' installments prior to ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', but also incorporates elements from the more contemporary ''Mario Party'' games, including the "ally" mechanics from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''.<ref name=E3Site/> Additionally, the game takes advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware for its minigames, such as flicking the Joy-Con as if it were a frying pan handle. Players can also link multiple Nintendo Switch consoles together for a single, larger alteration of the display for the game. The game is the first installment in the ''Mario Party'' franchise to incorporate online play, as boards and minigames can be played online.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Rosalina]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Toad]], and [[Toadette]] are standing around, with each of the playable characters claiming that they should be the "Super Star". Mario suggests that they have a party to determine who the "Super Star" will be, which the group agrees to, with Toad and Toadette being judges. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] appears with [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Goomba]], [[Boo]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Monty Mole]], [[Pom Pom]], and [[Dry Bones]], and says that he or one of his minions could also be the "Super Star". To ensure that the judging is "fair" and "impartial", he summons [[Kamek]] to judge alongside Toad and Toadette. Kamek then creates a venue for the party.

There are five collectible [[Gem (Super Mario Party)|Gems]] in the game. When all 4 boards in Mario Party mode are completed, the Gem of Tenacity is awarded. Similarly, the Gem of Spirit is awarded when the Hard difficulty in Sound Stage is completed; the Gem of Courage is awarded upon sailing every branch in River Survival; when all the stages in Partner Party are cleared, the Gem of Love is awarded; and when every Challenge Road stage is cleared, the Gem of Passion is awarded. When all five gems are collected, they fuse together to create the victory podium, which the newly crowned "Super Star" stands on. The partygoers, even including Bowser and Bowser Jr., agree to get along, at least until the "next party".

''Super Mario Party'' reverts to the traditional way of playing ''Mario Party'', where four players take turns to navigate around a linear board dictated by how much they have rolled through the Dice Block. When a character lands on a space, they receive effects dependent on what the space is, such as a [[Blue Space]] giving the player 3 coins or a [[Red Space]] subtracting 3 coins from the player. They can also spend [[coin]]s to buy items from [[Flutter]] which can help them or hurt other players; these item shops can be triggered by passing by them in Mario Party or landing on them in Partner Party. The game borrows the ally mechanics from ''Mario Party: Star Rush'' allowing players to increase their team of characters by landing on Ally Spaces or using a [[Buddy Phone]]; allies gained from the former are decided by a roulette and are randomly decided in the latter case. Allies contribute to Dice Rolls by either adding one or two to the total, and they participate in specially designated Team Minigames.

Minigames are played, selected by a roulette, at the end of every turn, and the type of minigame is determined by the spaces players landed on. If all players land on the same-colored space as each other, a Free-for-all minigame is played. If one player lands on a different, non-green space than the rest of the players, a 1-vs-3 minigame is played, where players who land on the same-colored space are placed in the same team as each other. If players land on an equal amount of non-green spaces, a 2-vs-2 minigame is played, teamed up depending on the color; Team Minigames may be thrown into the mix, where the player's current allies may participate if they are received. If players land on a Green Space, the color is randomly determined to be either blue or red. Prior to playing the minigame, players view the rules and can practice; each minigame comes with its own rules and controls. Players can act out in the minigame's instruction menu prior to starting the minigame, replacing the practice feature altogether. Whichever player wins the minigame earns the most coins, while players who do not perform as well earn less coins. In Partner Party, Free-for-all, 2-vs-2, and Team Minigames are played; due to the mode having no colored spaces, all of those minigames show up in the Minigame Roulette.

In the last three turns, replacing the [[Last Five Turns Event]], Toad and Toadette host character predictions, where a random character receives a bonus item. At the end of the match, two Bonus Stars are issued (three if the game was set to 20 turns), and they are selected from a pool of Bonus Stars. These Stars are the following:

 

*'''Minigame Star''': Given to players who have won the most minigames.

*'''Rich Star''': Given to players who have the most coins throughout the game.

*'''Eventful Star''': Given to players who have landed on the most Event Spaces.

*'''Ally Star''': Given to players who have the most allies.

*'''Unlucky Star''': Given to players who have landed on the most [[Red Space]]s and [[Bad Luck Space]]s.

The game can only be played with a single Joy-Con per player, and is not compatible with the Pro Controller or Handheld Mode, unlike previous ''Mario'' games on the Switch, due to some of the minigames using motion control. The game is also compatible with local wireless play.

 

Players are first introduced to the Party Plaza, a hub where players can roam to various interest points, hosted by Toads of various colors. Players can explore the hub with a party of four characters, which serve as the characters participating for all modes. If players do not have enough human players, they are filled with a recommendation of a random selection of CPU players and their difficulty. Players can change their characters and CPU characters plus their difficulty by talking to [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] at the gate of the Party Plaza.

Players in the hub can access the [[Party Pad]] with {{button|ns|jc-top}}, where they can quickly access different parts of the hub through a menu instead. The Party Pad also serves as a manual, where players can read descriptions for the various features in the game. Lastly, players can purchase stickers with earned Party Points and view their collected gems. [[amiibo]] functionality is accessed through the Party Pad, where scanned amiibo earns players shiny stickers for specific compatible amiibo and bonus Party Points for all other amiibo.

{{quote2|A board game played with dice. The player who finishes with the most stars wins!|Mario Party}}

{{quote2|A team edition of Mario Party featuring free movement and shared dice rolls.|Partner Party}}

Partner Party has two teams of two players all independently navigate around the same boards as in the Mario Party mode, except the boards have become nonlinear in a grid-like fashion, similar to Toad Scramble from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. The amount of turn options are the same as Mario Party, though players can select their team configuration prior to starting the match. In this mode, teammates share their items, coins and stars, and, in a feature introduced in ''Super Mario Party'', share their dice roll amount as well. Players can additionally collect allies on the board, though the ally's benefits occur only to the teammate who collected that ally.

Partner Party has featureless spaces, in which nothing happens when a player lands on a blank space in favor of the removal of Blue and Red Spaces. Instead of passing by features such as Flutter shops and Star Spaces, players are required to land on those spaces to earn their benefits. Depending on the layout of the board, players have to roll precisely, such as rolling an even or an odd to land on the space or an exact amount for narrow dead-ends and corridors. Players can hi-five each other at the end of minigames to earn bonus coins, and the hi-five feature occurs whenever a positive event happens, such as starting the game or earning a Star. If two players land on the Star Space on the same turn, they both have a chance of obtaining a Star if they can afford it. Occurring during the middle of the match, Kamek adds hidden [[Bad Luck Space]]s on the board that harm any player who unluckily lands on its space. On the last 3 turns, Kamek turns them into Extra Bad Luck Spaces hidden in the board.

1-vs-3 minigames do not occur in this mode, and due to the removal of Blue and Red spaces, available types of minigames are all featured in the Minigame Roulette, with Team Minigames being indicated by a special icon next to their name. In Free-for-all Minigames, the teammate who performs the best earns eight coins for their team, while the losing team earns two coins. In 2-vs-2 and Team Minigames, the team who wins the minigame earns eight coins (ten coins if they high-five), while the losing team earns two.

If players complete all boards in Partner Party, they earn the Gem of Love.

{{quote2|Choose which branches of the river to tackle, and work together to make it to the end!|River Survival}}

A co-op-based mode where four players paddle an inflatable boat on a river filled with features and hazards to the finish before time runs out. Prior to setting up the game, players can select their configuration of their rowers in a clockwise manner. Players are then guided through a tutorial with Toad explaining the controls. After the game begins, players need to keep on track with the river while avoiding rocks and the sides of the river. Players can find balloons, which can be popped to play special Co-op minigames, where the four players need to work together to win the minigame. Depending on how well the players perform, they earn a rank based on their score, which then translates to extra time being rewarded. When players reach a junction, they can choose the path to go on; the preview of what the path is going to be like is indicated by their image on top. Depending on what path they choose, they can encounter more hazards, dash panels, ramps, and [[+ Clock]]s to increase their time. Special characters can appear depending on the path chosen, such as a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] taking a snapshot of characters as they descend down the waterfall, to three boss enemies and their smaller variants being encountered, such as Mega Blooper, Mega Cheep Cheep, and Kamek himself (labeled as Mysterious Kraken, Mysterious Leviathan, and Mysterious Sorcerer respectively).

Playing very similarly to the various challenge gauntlets from previous entries such as Endurance Alley from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', this time on a world map similar to the Minigame Island in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. Challenge Road is a one-player mode where the player plays a consecutive set of 80 minigames while trying to complete various challenges, such as earning a particular amount of points or finishing a minigame within a time limit. The mode becomes available when all minigames are unlocked. Players navigates through the minigames split up into six worlds: [[Shell Street]], [[Chestnut Forest]], [[Mushroom Beach]], [[Ghostly Hollow]], [[Salty Sea (world)|Salty Sea]], and [[End of the Road]]. After players beat the final minigame involving Bowser's team on End of the Road, they are awarded with the Gem of Passion. Once the mode is cleared, a master variant of the challenges get unlocked, having tighter, more difficult requirements to complete.

Play unlocked minigames and various other game modes.

 

*'''Mariothon''': Compete in a cup tournament and win the most minigames in a cup composed of 5 minigames. There are four selectable cups: Toad Cup, Toadette Cup, Kamek Cup and Custom Cup. 10 minigames are used for the cups: [[Trike Harder]], [[Sizzling Stakes]], [[Snack Attack]], [[Barreling Along]], [[Precision Gardening]], [[Fuzzy Flight School]], [[Candy Shakedown]], [[Gridiron Gauntlet]], [[Croozin' for a Broozin']] and [[Feeding Friendsy]].

There are 20 playable characters in ''Super Mario Party'', which is the largest number of playable characters thus far in the ''Mario Party'' series. Of these characters, 16 are available from the start, while the other 4 need to be unlocked. [[Goomba]], [[Monty Mole]], and [[Pom Pom]] are playable for the first time in the ''Mario Party'' series, with Pom Pom also making her overall ''Mario Party'' debut. This is also the first ''Mario Party'' game to feature Bowser as a fully playable character, as well as the first home console installment in the series to feature Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong as playable characters.

''Super Mario Party'' contains four boards used in Mario Party and Partner Party mode, sharing the same locations but with a path-based or grid-based layout, respectively. This is also the first ''Mario Party'' game since ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' not to contain any form of boss battles. Kamek's Tantalizing Tower and Tantalizing Tower Toys are unlockable boards, unlocked by playing the three starter boards of each mode at least once.

''Super Mario Party'' has a total of 84 new minigames. Of these, 30 of them are Free-for-All minigames, 10 of them are 2-vs.2 minigames, 10 of them are 1-vs.3 minigames. New categories of minigames introduced are 10 Co-op minigames, where all 4 players work together to beat the minigame; 10 Team minigames, where players form teams of up to 8 and they all work together against each other; 10 Rhythm minigames, where players get points by performing tasks to the rhythm of a song; and 4 Toad's Rec Room minigames, where players have the option to connect two undocked [[Nintendo Switch]] consoles together and play on both of them.

<!-- 30 Free-for-all minigames, 10 2-vs-2 minigames, 10 1-vs-3 minigames, 10 Co-op minigames, 10 Team minigames, 10 Rhythm minigames, 4 Toad's Rec Room minigames -->

* Rather than a simple menu, there is now a complete controllable hub world.

* Character selection now comes before selecting any in-game modes.

* Practice mode in minigames now take place in the Rules screen itself, instead of being separate.

* On the rules screen, all players need to press a button to confirm they are ready to start instead of only the first player pressing it, similar to the other ''Mario Party'' games since ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.

* In Partner Party, the Dice rolls are shared between the two players.

* Party Mode now only goes up to 20 turns, and 30 turns on Kamek's boards; previous games have the player decide between 10-50 turns.

* After a 2 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3 minigame or in any mode where the player competes with teammates, there is a bonus where they can high-five their teammates to earn bonus coins.

* Bonus Stars are determined based on turn amount. 20 and 30 turn games gives out the traditional three Bonus Stars; for 10 and 15 turn games, only two Bonus Stars are distributed.

* Reflecting the original ''Mario Party'' gameplay, the free-for-all minigames always treat only the 1st-placed character as the winner regardless of what rank characters placed, much like in other ''Mario Party'' games prior to ''Mario Party 9''.

** By extension, the minigame results screen also appears to be more similar to ''Mario Party'' games prior to ''Mario Party 9'': result animations are shown in the minigame itself instead of on a separated, simple screen, and 2nd- and 3rd-place result animations and rankings on the screen are no longer present, instead only showing the name of the 1st-placed character, and the losers use one specific animation (the 4th-ranked animations from previous games for most returning characters) regardless of what rank they placed.

***However, animations of what would be the characters' 2nd- and 3rd-place results can be on the results screen after a Mario Party is completed.

*The main text fonts from ''Mario Party 9'', ''Island Tour'', and ''10'' (which was first introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), ''Star Rush'' and ''The Top 100'' have mostly been replaced by that of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. The timer and the score counter also use said font rather than the secondary text font from ''Mario Party 10'', ''Star Rush'', and ''The Top 100'' (as in ''10''), or the main text fonts from the previous games (as in the handheld games).

**Dice Blocks as well as the "Start!"/"Finish!" texts still use the previous main text font, and the secondary text font from ''Mario Party 10'', ''Star Rush'' and ''The Top 100'' is still used for some in-game texts as well.

''Super Mario Party'' is developed by [[Nd Cube]] and co-developed by [[CAProduction]], the teams primarily responsible for many ''[[Mario Party]]'' titles, and the game is published by [[Nintendo]]. Shuichiro Nishiya, who has directed the most ''Mario Party'' installments and has been directing many ''Mario Party'' installments since ''Mario Party 6'', reprises his role as the director for the game. Many of the game's directors and chief directors have worked on a ''Mario Party'' installment prior to ''Super Mario Party'', such as music director, Chamy Ishi, who has worked on directing music for ''Mario Party'' installments since ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.

''Super Mario Party'' has been met with generally positive reviews, garnering an average of 76 based off 84 reviews on Metacritic<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/super-mario-party Metacritic score for ''Super Mario Party''.] ''Metacritic.'' Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> and a 74.35% based off 36 reviews on GameRankings<ref>[https://www.gamerankings.com/switch/241207-super-mario-party/index.html GameRankings score for ''Super Mario Party''.] ''GameRankings.'' Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref>, notably receiving more praise than most ''Mario Party'' games in the series, being second only to the original ''[[Mario Party]]'' title for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Critics have generally praised the return to the original method of playing the game's main mode, blended with elements new to the series, as well as the amount of minigames and modes, in addition to the party experience with multiple players. Critics have compared the game favorably to the recent past installments of the ''Mario Party'' series. Much of the criticism has been directed at the number of boards, the board design, CPU intelligence, the single player experience, and the online implementation.

Casey Gibson of Nintendo World Report gave ''Super Mario Party'' an 8/10,<ref>Gibson, Casey. (October 3, 2018) [http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/48544/super-mario-party-switch-review Super Mario Party (Switch) Review.] ''Nintendo World Report''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> praising this direction of the ''Mario Party'' series favorably compared to the ''Mario Party'' titles where "everyone was placed in the same vehicle, which would then move around the board at the same time." While Gibson has noted that the time can feel "drawn out" while playing with computer players, it was noted that the pacing can feel better than played with friends. Gibson has additionally praised the assortment of the 80 minigames where they are "actually a ton of fun and are pulled off very well", citing [[Sizzling Stakes]] as one of the favorite minigames played. The most jarring criticism from Gibson has been directed towards the online play and its features and options (which she considers restrictive), such as its rotation of 10 minigames, where she summarizes, "Overall, although the mode is fun, it won’t likely see much playtime as you repeat the same few games over and over. It’s a tease of what could be, but ultimately fails to add much value to the overall package." Colette from My Nintendo News gave the game an 8/10, echoing sentiments from Gibson, citing the previously released ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as disappointing, as well as stating "the less said about ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' (2013), the better", while praising ''Super Mario Party'' in comparison, saying it "changes the sour flow into something much sweeter."<ref>Colette.

Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> Colette has cited elements of minigames that she found frustrating, such as the CPU players in [[Pull It Together]] in the Challenge Road, but has otherwise mostly praised minigames seen as fun. Colette additionally criticizes the online functionality (finding it to be disappointing), although she did note that ''Super Mario Party'' was the first ''Mario Party'' game to feature online play.

Samuel Claiborn of IGN scored ''Super Mario Party'' a 7.3/10,<ref>Samuel Claiborn (3 Oct 2018) [https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/03/super-mario-party-review Super Mario Party Review]. ''IGN''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> calling the game, "the best Party in two [home] console generations." He has praised the game for a perceived sense of being competitive, strategic, and fun, especially in Partner Party. However, Claiborn has cited the other modes not Mario Party or Partner Party as "filler", preferring the focus on the aforementioned two modes. He has also called the amount of boards lacking and that "Parties will get stale fast" due to what was considered a low number of boards and their believed simplicity, comparing unfavorably to ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Claiborn has also described motion controls and the Joy-Con-exclusive functionality as troublesome, but not "as bad as the worst Wii-era games." Additionally, Claiborn has described the Switch functionality to interact with another console as cramped and "not put to great use". The amount of minigames have been praised, as well as the stated attention to detail in the minigames. He ended his review with the statement, "''Super Mario Party'' delivers the couch multiplayer experience the series is famous for with an awesome new layer of strategy, 80 mostly-great minigames, and the quirky tech of the Switch controllers to keep things feeling fresh. The downside is that with the Switch’s controllers come some annoyances that make getting people settled onto your couch a bit more of a hassle than previous parties, and the best games are prone to annoying random upsets. But it’s far better paced than recent games and ''Super Mario Party'' reset my expectations of the series with its graphics and gameplay creativity." Stefan L. of TheSixthAxis has given the game a 6/10,<ref>Stefan L. (October 3, 2018) [http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2018/10/03/super-mario-party-review/ Super Mario Party Review.] ''TheSixthAxis''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> criticizing an apparently 'safe' approach to gameplay, the online implementation, the lack of single-player handheld mode compatibility, the amount of boards, and the amount of minigames for some modes, while praising the return to the original style of play, the strategy of character die, Toad's Rec Room minigames, and the HD Rumble tune. Stephan has noted that the content is "spread wide, but it’s not very deep", and also noted that the available boards are not engaging. Stephan has criticized the game's AI, calling them "dumber than a sack of bricks at crucial moments." In the conclusion, he stated that "''Super Mario Party'' is just a very safe game. It brings back the classic Mario Party board game form, marrying it with some of the better ideas from ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', but it’s light on the number of boards to play, lacks depth in other game modes, and misses opportunities for solo handheld and online multiplayer. It’s Mario Party, but it’s not particularly super."
