[[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. | |||

''Super Mario 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 their corresponding spaces 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 1 or 2 to the total, and they participate in specially designated Team Minigames. | ||
Prior to starting the game, players roll a dice block to determine turn order. In Mario Party, higher turn orders determine who goes first, while in Partner Party, the team with the higher overall dice count goes first. The overall goal of the game is to purchase the most [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s from [[Toadette]], who serves as the host of the Star Space in this game. Stars cost 10 coins to buy, and after a player has purchased the Star, Toadette warps to another location of the board. In Mario Party, players can pass by Toadette to purchase Stars, while in Partner Party, players are required to land on the Star Space in order to receive Stars from Toadette. | Prior to starting the game, players roll a dice block to determine turn order.

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; each minigame comes with its own rules and controls. Players can practice the minigame in the instruction menu prior to starting the minigame, instead of using a separate button to practice. 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. | 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.

In the last three turns, replacing the [[Last Five Turns Event]], Toad and Toadette host character predictions, where a "guest expert", who will vary depending on the board, comes on and predicts a random character (frequently the player in last place) winning.

A traditional four-player battle royale where each player competes for the most Stars, which are purchased from Toadette if players pay 10 coins. This mode uses the default ruleset described above, as players navigate through a linear board with many junctions and board specific features with Dice Blocks. Four boards are available, with one being unlockable. Unlike previous ''Mario Party'' titles, the only settings players can adjust for the boards are the amount of turns, from 10, 15, and 20 turns max (30 turns max on [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]]). Boards already beaten have their corresponding icons highlighted yellow, and players unlock [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]] if the available boards are all played on, and players earn the Gem of Tenacity if all boards in this mode are completed. | A traditional four-player battle royale where each player competes for the most Stars, which are purchased from Toadette if players pay 10 coins.

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, both teammates share their items, coins and stars, and, in a feature introduced in ''Super Mario Party'', share their dice roll amount as well.

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 2-vs-2 and Team Minigames or if they land on the same space 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. Players can stomp their opponents to steal coins from them, and if a player lands on the same space as an opponent, they can take 3-5 coins from them (if both teammates on the rival team are standing on the same space, then the player can stomp both teammates). 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. | 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.

A mode in which players play rhythm-based minigames back-to-back while trying to get the highest score. Characters use motion controls to stimulate the rhythms imposed by the minigames in this mode. Prior to playing minigames, players pump their fists to the rhythm as a tutorial before starting out on the minigames. The mode comes in three difficulties: Normal difficulty has players participating in three minigames, Remix difficulty has players participating in 6 minigames, where the last three minigames are sped up versions of the first three minigames, while Hard difficulty has a set of three more difficult rhythm minigames. When all three difficulties are beaten, the player is awarded with the Gem of Spirit | A mode in which players play rhythm-based minigames back-to-back while trying to get the highest score.

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.

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.

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." | ||
