Talk:Mario Party: Star Rush

Amiibo

I know that speculating is generally frowned upon, but isn't it safe to assume that Diddy Kong will be playable since his amiibo has been confirmed to be compatible with the game? User:FireFlower

It hasn't exactly been confirmed what the amiibo will do yet, though. MarioComix (talk) 01:39, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Actaully, that didn't occur to me, but with that said, how can we be certain that all the amiibos listed on the talk page, in particularly Diddy Kong's, are compatible with the game? User:FireFlower

There is no rush for this. We'll get all the information we need eventually. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:07, 18 June 2016 (EDT)

Hopefully we get info on this game a bit more as soon as the next trailer comes out User:UnknownAnything

Spaghetti box art

I have heard from many sources that the Mario Party Star Rush pre-production box art is in fact based off the art on a tin of Mario spaghetti. This seems reasonable as many pictures have been used to supply proof. Surely this is trivia we can use? Even when the game is actually released, it can still count as trivia, even if the box art is different. Should I add it?

Quizmelon

If there were some element to it that shows that this was intentionally shared artwork, then I think it would deserve to be added to the article. Alas, I have yet to see such proof. MarioComix (talk) 04:13, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Here's the proof: http://gonintendo.com/stories/259569-random-time-mario-party-star-rush-boxart-comes-from-a-spaghet
I don't know if the Spaghetti one came first before the Simon Mall promo event.

Otherwise this artwork is a stock Super Mario artwork used for promotions.Infinite8 09:54, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

The artwork is used as early as a 2013 calendar, I wouldn't add what gonintendo said as a source. Ray Trace^(T|C) 12:51, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Nope, whoever wrote that article didn't do any prior research in a galling attempt to generate clicks and mislead the readers. Do not use this source. If this misinformation gets widespread enough, we'll have to add it to the List of rumors and urban legends about Mario article. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:46, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

I added it. My breaking point was our own MarioWiki Twitter (second link is the one the Twitter retweeted), and simply typing "mario party: star rush spaghettios" generated more than enough hits for this misconception to deserve an entry on that page.

Toad's Status as a Playable Character

Has it been confirmed yet if the solidified Toad character who re-occurs will be appearing, or has it only been the multi-colored ones that have been confirmed? User:FireFlower

Toad did appear in Mario Party 5 as a playable character so, he could return for Star Rush.AfternoonLight (talk)

don't think i have seen the toad character from what we've got so far, so we don't know yet Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:28, 20 June 2016 (EDT)

New Mode, Boards

Worlds contain three boards each. A new mode called "Character Museum" was spotted.

Stars/Ztars to reappear?

It looks like judging by the cover art Stars and Ztars might reappear? If they will, that'd be cool (considering I'd much rather see the old system than the current one involving Mini Stars and Mini Ztars). McDonalds1 (talk) 21:28, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

We had a Star for artwork in Mario Party 9. It doesn't necessarily mean we'll see Ztars, much less the old system. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 17:56, 10 July 2016 (EDT)

Diddy Kong

He's on the newly released boxart and should be added to the character list under "Unknown" alongside Petey and Dry bones.

Character roster

Here's the possible character roster: http://mariopartylegacy.com/2016/08/character-select-screen-spotted-for-mario-party-star-rush/, looks like that Rosalina, Donkey Kong, Toadette and possibily Diddy Kong will be unlockable. User:PrincessDaisyForever

Artwork

http://nintendoeverything.com/mario-party-star-rush-screenshots-and-art/

New artwork for star rush is available for King Boo and others. It also confirms Bowser Jr. is in the game (most likely as a boss).

Citations

Is there a source(s) for Bowser and Kamek? They don't even have official artwork, unlike some characters. If someone is speculating, please know that even though Bowser and Kamek will probably appear, it cannot be placed on the article until it's a solid fact.File:Mr L Render.png Ultimate Mr. L (Talk) 21:13, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Bowser appears in the trailer where he gets metal all around him. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 22:08, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

On the JP website, there is a screenshot of Bowser's boss minigame (the characters appear to be using some space scooter); also briefly seen in a recent trailer. Kamek has appeared in various footage/screenshots where he appears on the boss pedestal during Toad Scramble. MarioComix (talk) 00:20, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

OK, thanks. Just making sure.File:Mr L Render.png Ultimate Mr. L (Talk) 11:29, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Coinathlon vs. Coin Chaos

While in the final game the NA version may adopt "Coin Chaos", there is an official US source that still uses "Coinathlon". On the game's US overview site, in the "Overview" section, after clicking "Read more", there is a point there saying: "Race around a game board, competing in a rapid-fire minigame gauntlet while sabotaging your friends in Coinathlon". While one may prefer to use "Coin Chaos" since it's an official name used in the final version of an English-language game, I would prefer to think that "Coinathlon" is more appropriate to use. MarioComix (talk) 01:07, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

Well, if you go to this link; https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Mario-Party-Star-Rush-1114009.html#Other_modes; you'll see that the European Other modes section names the Coinathlon mode Coinathlon. The term "Coin Chaos" may be used for the Minigames menu. Just saying. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 00:01, 30 September 2016 (EDT)

Hm, that's a good point. Then "Coin Chaos" is more appropriate for the Minigames subsection. MarioComix (talk) 02:10, 30 September 2016 (EDT)

New Trailer

A new trailer just dropped in Japan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGuPXyq3Ixs

Among other things, it shows that, via amiibo, Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Boo are available in Mario Shuffle mode.
