| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The gameplay of ''The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition'' is reminiscent of that of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Players spin the spinner and move around the board freely along branching paths, and players interact with various spaces that can be landed on.
| |
| * [[Coin]] spaces, which give the player a number of coins based on the number shown.
| |
| * [[Event Space|Action spaces]], which force the player to draw an Action card and follow its effects.
| |
| * [[Minigame]] spaces, which force the player to draw a Minigame card and compete with other players for coins.
| |
| * [[Item]] spaces, which force the player to draw an Item card and keep it to be used later.
| |
| * [[Ally|Companion]] spaces, which allow the player the option to draw a Companion card, which grants passive bonuses.
| |
| * [[Warp Pipe]] spaces, which allow the player the option to move their piece to the other Warp Pipe space of matching color.
| |
| * [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] spaces, which allow the player to buy a star for 10 coins. Alternatively, the player can receive 5 coins.
| |
| Upon buying at least two stars, a player can access [[Bowser's Castle]]. Landing on this space engages the player in a battle with [[Bowser]], which can be won by spinning a 12 or higher on the spinner, added with the number of stars the player has. If successful, the player wins the game, and other players are ranked by coin and star count. If they fail, they are sent back to the board's start space with all their coins lost.
| |
|
| |
| ==List of cards==
| |
| ''The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition'' comes with 60 cards, divided into 26 Action cards, 10 Minigame cards, 10 Companion cards, 10 Item cards, and 4 Reference cards. The four reference cards are identical, and act as reminders of important rules for each player.
