*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''. However, in Partner Party and Mario Party, 2nd and 3rd place do get coins, but not as much as first place simliar to the distribution since ''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.

*The main text [[font]]s from ''Mario Party 9''/''Island Tour''/''10'' (which was first introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'') and ''Star Rush''/''The Top 100'' have mostly been replaced by that of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.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).

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.

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."
