| A sequel, titled ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', was released for the Nintendo Switch on October 17, 2024.
| | ==Confirmed characters== |
| ==Story== | |
| [[File:SMP intro - Mario and friends.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The group arguing.]]
| |
| {{quote|One day, trouble was brewing between [[Mario]] and his good friends. Each claimed to be the Super Star, the worthiest hero in all the land. Mario suggested having a party to decide, a time-honored tradition. Everybody agreed—a proper party would surely reveal the Super Stardom.|Narration}}
| |
| [[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, his son, 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 four 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".

| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| [[File:SMP image1.png|thumb|left|Mario's turn, prior to rolling the Dice Block, in the Mario Party mode.]]
| |
| ''Super Mario Party'' features the traditional ''Mario Party'' gameplay for the first time since ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. 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 an [[Ally 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.
| |
| | |
| ''Super Mario Party'' introduces the choice of using character specific die prior to rolling, where players can either opt for the standard 1-6 Dice Block or the character's unique Dice Block, which carries pros and cons associated with it. If players receive allies, they have option to use their designated Dice Block instead.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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. This character will then receive a bonus item. In addition to this, Kamek will also turn any Bad Luck Spaces into Extra Bad Luck Spaces. At the end of the match, two Bonus Stars are issued (three if the game was set to 20 or 30 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 coins in minigames.
| |
| *'''Rich Star''': Given to players who have collected the most coins throughout the game.
| |
| *'''Eventful Star''': Given to players who have landed on the most [[Event Space]]s.
| |
| *'''Item Star''': Given to players who have used the most items.
| |
| *'''Ally Star''': Given to players who have the most allies at the end of the game.
| |
| *'''Buddy Star''': Given to a player who has a particular, random ally.
| |
| *'''Sightseer Star''': Given to players who have traveled the most spaces.
| |
| *'''Slowpoke Star''': Given to players who have traveled the least spaces.
| |
| *'''Unlucky Star''': Given to players who have landed on the most [[Red Space]]s and [[Bad Luck Space]]s (including Extra Bad Luck Spaces). (Mario Party only)
| |
| *'''Stompy Star''': Given to players who have stomped on other players the most. (Partner Party only)
| |
| *'''Doormat Star''': Given to players who have been stomped on the most. (Partner Party only)
| |
| After this, the winner is announced, and players can then view the statistics of the player's progress through the game, such as a line graph detailing the Star collecting progress or how many times a particular space has been landed on.
| |
| | |
| 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 ''Super Mario'' games on the Switch, due to some of the minigames using motion control. The game is also compatible with local wireless play.
| |
| ===Game modes===
| |
| 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 the number of systems used, number of players playing, which characters are controlled by humans or CPUs plus their difficulty level by talking to the blue [[Toad (species)|Toad]] at the gate of the Party Plaza.
| |
| | |
| The initially available modes are accessed by walking up to the interest points and talking to the Toads who host them. Two modes are locked and are accessed through a [[Warp Pipe]] in the left and right areas of the Party Plaza. They are obstructed with a [[Piranha Plant]] and stun players who attempt to jump into it. After their unlock requirements are met, Kamek removes the Piranha Plant for the players.
| |
| | |
| Players in the hub can access the [[Party Pad]] with {{button|switch|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.
| |
| | |
| When players are in local wireless mode, Mario Party, Partner Party, Minigame Mode and Toad's Rec Room are the only areas that can be accessed.
| |
| ====Mario Party====
| |
| {{quote|A board game played with dice. The player who finishes with the most stars wins!|'''Mario Party'''}}
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ====Partner Party====
| |
| {{quote|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, both 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 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.
| |
| | |
| 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 player in first place earns eight coins for their team regardless of their teammate's result, while the remaining team earns two coins, and the announcer always says "Winners!" even if only one player technically wins the minigame. 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. If this mode is played over local wireless, teams are locked into P1 and P3 vs P2 and P4.
| |
| | |
| ====River Survival====
| |
| {{quote|Choose which branches of the river to tackle, and work together to make it to the end!|'''River Survival'''}}
| |
| [[File:SMP River Survival.png|thumb|The beginning of the River Survival mode.]]
| |
| 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 [[Big Blooper|Mega Blooper]], [[Big Cheep Cheep]], and Kamek himself (labeled as Mysterious Kraken, Mysterious Leviathan, and Mysterious Sorcerer respectively).
| |
| | |
| If players complete River Survival on three paths, they unlock Donkey Kong as a playable character (on the time they unlock him, players can see him waving at the finish line). If players complete all branches of River Survival, they earn the Gem of Courage, in addition to a hard variation of River Survival being unlocked.

| ====Sound Stage====
| |
| {{quote|Nail every beat, and show the crowd who's the ultimate performer!|Sound Stage}}
| |
| 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. This mode is similar to the [[Mario Party: Star Rush#Rhythm Recital|Rhythm Recital]] mode in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''.
| |
| | |
| ====Challenge Road====
| |
| {{quote|Complete a series of special challenges based on 80 minigames.|'''Challenge Road'''}}
| |
| [[File:Challenge Road Map.png|thumb|The map of Challenge Road]]
| |
| 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. It plays 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]]''. The mode becomes available when all minigames are unlocked. Players navigate 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 complete Chestnut Forest and Salty Sea, they unlock Diddy Kong and Pom Pom as playable characters, respectively. After players beat the final minigame on End of the Road, they are awarded with the Gem of Passion, and a master variant of the challenges is unlocked, which often has more difficult requirements to complete.
| |
| | |
| ====Minigames====
| |
| [[File:SMP-Mariothon.png|thumb|All cups available in Mariothon]]
| |
| Play various game modes revolving around minigames.
| |
| *'''Free Play''': The player can select any of the unlocked minigames to play.
| |
| *'''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. 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]].
| |
| *'''Square Off''': Compete in a tile-based battle and capture territory by winning minigames. The winner of a minigame chooses a panel on the board to mark it with their color. If a player brackets another player’s color with two panels of their color, that player captures the panel they trapped. Once every panel of the board has been completed, the player who has the most panels of his own color wins the game.
| |
| | |
| ====Online Mariothon====
| |
| {{quote|Complete in a marathon of minigames with players from all over the world.|Online Mariothon}}
| |
| The online mode of the game, where players compete in five randomly selected minigames for a high score. Players can join up to three other players in a cup selected automatically (Toad, Toadette or Kamek). The players can win gold, silver or bronze medals depending on where they end up at the end of the cup. Players can either compete with strangers or with other users on their friend list. This mode is similar to Championship Battles from ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''.

[[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, after being previously playable in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', respectively. In addition, it is the first ''Mario Party'' game since ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' to have [[Hammer Bro]] and [[Dry Bones]] as playable characters, as well as the first since ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' to have [[Shy Guy]] and [[Koopa Troopa]] as playable characters.

| ==Boards== | | ===Unknown=== |
| ''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. As a result, it has the least number of boards among all ''Mario Party'' games. It is also the second game after ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' to not feature a Bowser-themed board (''[[Mario Party 6]]'' if [[Infernal Tower]] is not counted). Kamek's Tantalizing Tower and Tantalizing Tower Toys are unlockable boards, unlocked by playing the three starter boards of each mode at least once.
| | *[[King Bob-omb]] |
|
| |
|
| Each board has a Partner Party variant, which use the same icon and have largely the same visual style but have different names and gameplay styles.

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. This is also the first ''Mario Party'' game since ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' not to contain any form of boss battles. Much like ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', a large portion of minigames utilize motion controls.

| |
| *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. All players need to press the {{button|switch|sl}} or {{button|switch|sr}} buttons to confirm they are ready to start as a result of this change.
| |
| *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; most previous games have the player decide between 10-50 turns.
| |
| *After a 2 vs. 2, 1 vs. 3 (should the solo player lose) or Co-op minigame, if there is at least one human player on the winning team, they are given an opportunity to high five teammates for bonus coins (in Mario and Partner Party) or time (in River Survival). It cannot be skipped.
| |
| *Bonus Stars are determined based on turn amount. 20 and 30 turn games give 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 seen on the results screen after a Mario Party is completed.
| |
| *The main text [[font]]s 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).
| |
| **As such, the title logo no longer uses the series logo from the previous games, which is the same font as the in-game main text font from ''Mario Party 9'', ''Island Tour'', and ''10''.
| |
| **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.
| |
| *This is the first game since the international versions of ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' to have a female announcer.
| |
| *This is the first home console game since ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' where Toad is not playable.
| |
| *This is the first home console game where the maximum number of turns is 30 rather than 50, and the second game in the franchise to have that distinction overall, after ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Regional differences==
| |
| *In the British English version of the game, pronouns refer to Birdo as a male. The American English version and most other versions of the game have Birdo referred to as a female. In the French and Chinese versions, Birdo uses ambiguous pronouns.
| |
| *In the British English version, [[Toady|Toadies]] are named Magikoopas.
| |
| *In Spanish, French, and Italian, the highest co-op rank is A and the lowest rank is D. In other languages, the highest co-op rank is S and the lowest rank is C.

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) [https://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) [https://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."

The return of the classic style is a welcome one, and the plethora of different minigames hit the mark more often than not. It would have been nice to see another board or two, but the assortment of other fully-fledged modes helps to mitigate that feeling.''"

The new Partner Party, River Survival, and Sound Stage modes add enjoyable alternatives to Mario Party mode--which at least returns to its competitive roots. And even if the unique character dice blocks don't shake up Super Mario Party's four boards enough to give Mario Party mode some longevity, they implement small moments of strategy into a series that has for too long solely relied on randomness to determine a winner.''"
