Template:Justreleased Template:Infobox Mario Party: Island Tour is a 2013 title for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the thirteenth in the main series (seventeenth in Japan) in the Mario Party series and the third installment for a handheld console. It was released on November 22, 2013 in North America and will be released on January 14, 2014 in Europe and Winter 2013 in Japan.
Gameplay[1]
Not much is shown at the moment, but it seems that this Mario Party game uses the traditional independent four player gameplay as opposed to Mario Party 9, except players still hit a six-sided Dice Block numbered 1-6 instead of a Dice Block numbered 1-10 in the first eight installments. Like Mario Party 9, players appear to move along a linear board, though in this game it appears to be a race to the end. However, the Spaces appear similar in function to those from Mario Party 9. It is also shown that the players can use special cards to hinder their opponents, similar to Orbs from previous Mario Party installments. It will also have Local Multiplayer. It has been seen that players may verse shadowy versions of the other playable characters in minigames.[2]

Players can choose to either hide away safely, or risk being sent back if a player rolls a Banzai Bill.[1] The map has one Green Space, nine Blue Spaces, twelve Red Spaces, and a finish space.[13]. The board's ratings are 2/5 for strategy, 5/5 for luck, and 2/5 for minigames.
