Mario Party 10 is an upcoming game for the Wii U. It is the tenth home console installment in the Mario Party series, and features many reused gameplay elements from its predecessor. It is confirmed that the game has a standard Party Mode (similar in gameplay to the Party Mode from Mario Party 9), and a new mode called Bowser Party, in which one player controls Bowser using the GamePad, and exclusive minigames can be played. Mini Stars return in normal party, as well as vehicles in all modes. The game is also planned to be compatible with amiibo.[1]
Gameplay
Mario Party 10 offers three basic modes of play: Mario Party, Bowser Party, and amiibo Party each with their own unique styles of play.
Mario Party
Mario Party is the gameplay similar to Mario Party 9, where the characters have to get to the end of the path with the most Mini Stars. Characters move around in vehicles taking turns being the "captain", or rolling the dice. The Mini Stars are thus returning from Mario Party 9. There will be some obstacles on the path, like a Whomp blocking it, like in Perilous Palace Path from Mario Party: Island Tour. Also, item shops return, this time in the form of Toad Houses.
Bowser Party
Bowser Party is a new mode of gameplay featuring Bowser. There will be five players instead of four. Up to four players control Mario and his friends with Wii Remotes, with the fifth player playing against them by using the GamePad to control Bowser. Mini Stars are replaced by Hearts. The goal of Bowser is to deplete all the other players hearts, whilst the goal of the other players is to make it to the end of the course with at least one heart between them. Bowser rolls multiple dice, corresponding to the number of other players available. If Bowser catches up to the other players, he forces them to play a randomly selected "Bowser Minigame", where hearts are lost if the players are attacked.
amiibo Party
Another new mode is the amiibo Party[2]; players can scan in any amiibo based on a playable character and play on small boards designed for that character with up to 3 other amiibo figurines. Computer players are represented by cardboard cutouts instead of amiibo. It is similar to the Mario Party playstyle prior to Mario Party 9.
Toad's Room
Toad's Room is an extra mode, featuring a shop where players can buy things like vehicles for the boards and music in the game, a photo booth with characters in the game, and a Challenge mode.[3]
Challenge List
The game will have challenges.[4] [5]
Characters
A total of 13 playable characters have been confirmed for Mario Party 10. Of these characters, 3 (Rosalina, Bowser, and Spike) are fully playable for the first time in the series (although Bowser is only playable in the Bowser Party and amiibo Party modes), and 2 (Toadette and Spike) are unlockable.[6] Also, Donkey Kong makes his first full playable appearance in the series since Mario Party 4.
