Super Mario Party

Template:Infobox Super Mario Party is a game in the Mario Party series, released for the Nintendo Switch on October 5, 2018. It is the twenty-fourth installment in the series overall, the eleventh home console installment in the series, and the first home console Mario Party game to not be a numbered installment since the original Mario Party game.

Described by Nintendo as a "complete relaunch" and "complete refresh" of the Mario Party series when revealed at E3 2018, the game "goes back to the four-player basics as [players] take turns and race across the board searching for Stars" as seen in the Mario Party installments prior to Mario Party 9, but also incorporates elements from the more contemporary Mario Party games, including the "ally" mechanics from Mario Party: Star Rush. Additionally, the game takes advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware for its minigames, such as flicking the Joy-Con as if it were a frying pan handle. Players can also link multiple Nintendo Switch consoles together for a single, larger alteration of the display for the game. The game is the first installment in the Mario Party franchise to incorporate online play, as boards and minigames can be played online.

Story

The group arguing.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Toad, and Toadette are standing around, with each of the playable characters claiming that they should be the "Super Star". Mario suggests that they have a party to determine who the "Super Star" will be, which the group agrees to, with Toad and Toadette being judges. Suddenly, Bowser appears with Bowser Jr., Goomba, Boo, Koopa Troopa, Hammer Bro, Shy Guy, Monty Mole, Pom Pom, and Dry Bones, and says that he or one of his minions could also be the "Super Star". To ensure that the judging is "fair" and "impartial", he summons Kamek to judge alongside Toad and Toadette. Kamek then creates a venue for the party.

There are five collectible Gems in the game. When all 4 boards in Mario Party mode are completed, the Gem of Tenacity is awarded. Similarly, the Gem of Spirit is awarded when the Hard difficulty in Sound Stage is completed; the Gem of Courage is awarded upon sailing every branch in River Survival; when all the stages in Partner Party are cleared, the Gem of Love is awarded; and when every Challenge Road stage is cleared, the Gem of Passion is awarded. When all five gems are collected, they fuse together to create the victory podium, which the newly crowned "Super Star" stands on. The partygoers, even including Bowser and Bowser Jr., agree to get along, at least until the "next party".

Gameplay

Mario's turn, prior to rolling the Dice Block, in the Mario Party mode.

Super Mario Party reverts to the traditional way of playing Mario Party, where four players take turns to navigate around a linear board dictated by how much they have rolled through the Dice Block. When a character lands on a space, they receive effects dependent on what the space is, such as a Blue Space giving the player 3 coins or a Red Space subtracting 3 coins from the player. They can also spend coins to buy items from Flutter which can help them or hurt other players; these item shops can be triggered by passing by them in Mario Party or landing on them in Partner Party. The game borrows the ally mechanics from Mario Party: Star Rush allowing players to increase their team of characters by landing on Ally Spaces or using a Buddy Phone; allies gained from the former are decided by a roulette and are randomly decided in the latter case. Allies contribute to Dice Rolls by either adding one or two to the total, and they participate in specially designated Team Minigames.

Prior to starting the game, players roll a dice block to determine turn order. In Mario Party, higher turn orders determine who goes first, while in Partner Party, the team with the higher overall dice count goes first. The overall goal of the game is to purchase the most Stars from Toadette, who serves as the host of the Star Space in this game. Stars cost 10 coins to buy, and after a player has purchased the Star, Toadette warps to another location of the board. In Mario Party, players can pass by Toadette to purchase Stars, while in Partner Party, players are required to land on the Star Space in order to receive Stars from Toadette.

Super Mario Party introduces the choice of using character specific die prior to rolling, where players can either opt for the standard 1-6 Dice Block or the character's unique Dice Block, which carries pros and cons associated with it. If players receive allies, they have option to use their designated Dice Block instead.

Minigames are played, selected by a roulette, at the end of every turn, and the type of minigame is determined by the spaces players landed on. If all players land on the same-colored space as each other, a Free-for-all minigame is played. If one player lands on a different, non-green space than the rest of the players, a 1-vs-3 minigame is played, where players who land on the same-colored space are placed in the same team as each other. If players land on an equal amount of non-green spaces, a 2-vs-2 minigame is played, teamed up depending on the color; Team Minigames may be thrown into the mix, where the player's current allies may participate if they are received. If players land on a Green Space, the color is randomly determined to be either blue or red. Prior to playing the minigame, players view the rules and can practice; each minigame comes with its own rules and controls. Players can act out in the minigame's instruction menu prior to starting the minigame, replacing the practice feature altogether. Whichever player wins the minigame earns the most coins, while players who do not perform as well earn less coins. In Partner Party, Free-for-all, 2-vs-2, and Team Minigames are played; due to the mode having no colored spaces, all of those minigames show up in the Minigame Roulette.

In the last three turns, replacing the Last Five Turns Event, Toad and Toadette host character predictions, where a random character receives a bonus item. At the end of the match, two Bonus Stars are issued (three if the game was set to 20 turns), and they are selected from a pool of Bonus Stars. These Stars are the following:

• Minigame Star: Given to players who have won the most minigames.
• Rich Star: Given to players who have the most coins throughout the game.
• Eventful Star: Given to players who have landed on the most Event Spaces.
• Item Star: Given to players who have used the most items.
• Ally Star: Given to players who have the most allies.
• Buddy Star: Given to a player who has a particular, random ally.
• Sightseer Star: Given to players who have traveled the most spaces.
• Slowpoke Star: Given to players who have traveled the least spaces.
• Unlucky Star: Given to players who have landed on the most Red Spaces and Bad Luck Spaces.
• Stompy Star: Given to players who have stomped on other players the most. (Partner Party only)
• Doormat Star: Given to players who have been stomped on the most. (Partner Party only)

After this, the winner is announced, and players can then view the statistics of the player's progress through the game, such as a line graph detailing the Star collecting progress or how many times a particular space has been landed on.

The game can only be played with a single Joy-Con per player, and is not compatible with the Pro Controller or Handheld Mode, unlike previous Mario games on the Switch, due to some of the minigames using motion control. The game is also compatible with local wireless play.

Game modes

Players are first introduced to the Party Plaza, a hub where players can roam to various interest points, hosted by Toads of various colors. Players can explore the hub with a party of four characters, which serve as the characters participating for all modes. If players do not have enough human players, they are filled with a recommendation of a random selection of CPU players and their difficulty. Players can change their characters and CPU characters plus their difficulty by talking to Blue Toad at the gate of the Party Plaza.

The initially available modes are accessed by walking up to the interest points and talking to the Toads who host them. Two modes are locked and are accessed through a Warp Pipe in the left and right areas of the Party Plaza. They are obstructed with a Piranha Plant and stun players who attempt to jump into it. After their unlock requirements are met, Kamek removes the Piranha Plant for the players.

Players in the hub can access the Party Pad with jc-top, where they can quickly access different parts of the hub through a menu instead. The Party Pad also serves as a manual, where players can read descriptions for the various features in the game. Lastly, players can purchase stickers with earned Party Points and view their collected gems. amiibo functionality is accessed through the Party Pad, where scanned amiibo earns players shiny stickers for specific compatible amiibo and bonus Party Points for all other amiibo.

Mario Party

Template:Quote2 A traditional four-player battle royale where each player competes for the most Stars, which are purchased from Toadette if players pay 10 coins. This mode uses the default ruleset described above, as players navigate through a linear board with many junctions and board specific features with Dice Blocks. Four boards are available, with one being unlockable. Unlike previous Mario Party titles, the only settings players can adjust for the boards are the amount of turns, from 10, 15, and 20 turns max (30 turns max on Kamek's Tantalizing Tower). Boards already beaten have their corresponding icons highlighted yellow, and players unlock Kamek's Tantalizing Tower if the available boards are all played on, and players earn the Gem of Tenacity if all boards in this mode are completed.

Partner Party

Template:Quote2 Partner Party has two teams of two players all independently navigate around the same boards as in the Mario Party mode, except the boards have become nonlinear in a grid-like fashion, similar to Toad Scramble from Mario Party: Star Rush. The amount of turn options are the same as Mario Party, though players can select their team configuration prior to starting the match. In this mode, teammates share their items, coins and stars, and, in a feature introduced in Super Mario Party, share their dice roll amount as well. Players can additionally collect allies on the board, though the ally's benefits occur only to the teammate who collected that ally.

Partner Party has featureless spaces, in which nothing happens when a player lands on a blank space in favor of the removal of Blue and Red Spaces. Instead of passing by features such as Flutter shops and Star Spaces, players are required to land on those spaces to earn their benefits. Depending on the layout of the board, players have to roll precisely, such as rolling an even or an odd to land on the space or an exact amount for narrow dead-ends and corridors. Players can hi-five each other at the end of minigames to earn bonus coins, and the hi-five feature occurs whenever a positive event happens, such as starting the game or earning a Star. If two players land on the Star Space on the same turn, they both have a chance of obtaining a Star if they can afford it. Occurring during the middle of the match, Kamek adds hidden Bad Luck Spaces on the board that harm any player who unluckily lands on its space. On the last 3 turns, Kamek turns them into Extra Bad Luck Spaces hidden in the board.

1-vs-3 minigames do not occur in this mode, and due to the removal of Blue and Red spaces, available types of minigames are all featured in the Minigame Roulette, with Team Minigames being indicated by a special icon next to their name. In Free-for-all Minigames, the teammate who performs the best earns eight coins for their team, while the losing team earns two coins. In 2-vs-2 and Team Minigames, the team who wins the minigame earns eight coins (ten coins if they high-five), while the losing team earns two.

If players complete all boards in Partner Party, they earn the Gem of Love.

River Survival

The beginning of the River Survival mode.

A co-op-based mode where four players paddle an inflatable boat on a river filled with features and hazards to the finish before time runs out. Prior to setting up the game, players can select their configuration of their rowers in a clockwise manner. Players are then guided through a tutorial with Toad explaining the controls. After the game begins, players need to keep on track with the river while avoiding rocks and the sides of the river. Players can find balloons, which can be popped to play special Co-op minigames, where the four players need to work together to win the minigame. Depending on how well the players perform, they earn a rank based on their score, which then translates to extra time being rewarded. When players reach a junction, they can choose the path to go on; the preview of what the path is going to be like is indicated by their image on top. Depending on what path they choose, they can encounter more hazards, dash panels, ramps, and + Clocks to increase their time. Special characters can appear depending on the path chosen, such as a Koopa Paratroopa taking a snapshot of characters as they descend down the waterfall, to three boss enemies and their smaller variants being encountered, such as Mega Blooper, Mega Cheep Cheep, and Kamek himself (labeled as Mysterious Kraken, Mysterious Leviathan, and Mysterious Sorcerer respectively).

If players complete River Survival on three paths, they unlock Donkey Kong as a playable character (on the time they unlock him, players can see him waving at the finish line). If players complete all branches of River Survival, they earn the Gem of Courage, in addition to a hard variation of River Survival being unlocked.

Sound Stage

Template:Quote2 A mode in which players play rhythm-based minigames back-to-back while trying to get the highest score. Characters use motion controls to stimulate the rhythms imposed by the minigames in this mode. Prior to playing minigames, players pump their fists to the rhythm as a tutorial before starting out on the minigames. The mode comes in three difficulties: Normal difficulty has players participating in three minigames, Remix difficulty has players participating in 6 minigames, where the last three minigames are sped up versions of the first three minigames, while Hard difficulty has a set of three more difficult rhythm minigames. When all three difficulties are beaten, the player is awarded with the Gem of Spirit.

Challenge Road

Template:Quote2 Playing very similarly to the various challenge gauntlets from previous entries such as Endurance Alley from Mario Party 6, this time on a world map similar to the Minigame Island in Mario Party: The Top 100. Challenge Road is a one-player mode where the player plays a consecutive set of 80 minigames while trying to complete various challenges, such as earning a particular amount of points or finishing a minigame within a time limit. The mode becomes available when all minigames are unlocked. Players navigates through the minigames split up into six worlds: Shell Street, Chestnut Forest, Mushroom Beach, Ghostly Hollow, Salty Sea, and End of the Road. After players beat the final minigame involving Bowser's team on End of the Road, they are awarded with the Gem of Passion. Once the mode is cleared, a master variant of the challenges get unlocked, having tighter, more difficult requirements to complete.

Minigames

Play unlocked minigames and various other game modes.

• Mariothon: Compete in a cup tournament and win the most minigames in a cup composed of 5 minigames. There are four selectable cups: Toad Cup, Toadette Cup, Kamek Cup and Custom Cup. 10 minigames are used for the cups: Trike Harder, Sizzling Stakes, Snack Attack, Barreling Along, Precision Gardening, Fuzzy Flight School, Candy Shakedown, Gridiron Gauntlet, Croozin' for a Broozin' and Feeding Friendsy.

All cups available in Mariothon

• Square Off: Compete in a tile-based battle and capture territory by winning minigames. The winner of a minigame chooses a panel on the board to mark it with their color. If a player brackets another player’s color with two panels of their color, that player captures the panel they trapped. Once every panel of the board has been completed, the player who has the most panels of his own color wins the game.

Online Mariothon

Template:Quote2 The online mode of the game, where players compete in five randomly selected minigames for a high score. Players can join up to three other players in a cup selected automatically (Toad, Toadette or Kamek). The players can win gold, silver or bronze medals depending on where they end up at the end of the cup. Players can either compete with strangers or with other users on their friend list.

Toad's Rec Room

Template:Quote2 This mode takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch's local wireless features and the ability to create a multi-screen environment. Requires two Nintendo Switch consoles and two copies of the game for full experience.

Items

Dice Blocks

• Normal Dice Block: The standard 1-6 Dice Block.
• Dice Blocks unique to each character that can be used any time they roll. They have the opportunity to increase their maximum number of rolls, affect their coin count, increase the chance of getting a number, or even cause them to get a 0. The player can also use a teammate's Dice Block if they have one with them. The following has all of the numbers on each character's Dice Block.
• Ally Dice Block: Every ally of the player(s) can use an extra Dice Block that can roll from 1-2.

Koopa Troopa	File:Koopatroopadice.png Koopa Troopa Dice Block	All those low numbers might seem slow and steady, but it's that 10 that'll win you the race.	1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 10

Character	Dice Block	Ability	Numbers

Sizzling Stakes, one of the minigames in Super Mario Party

Main article: List of Super Mario Party minigames

Super Mario Party has a total of 84 new minigames. Of these, 30 of them are Free-for-All minigames, 10 of them are 2-vs.2 minigames, 10 of them are 1-vs.3 minigames. New categories of minigames introduced are 10 Co-op minigames, where all 4 players work together to beat the minigame; 10 Team minigames, where players form teams of up to 8 and they all work together against each other; 10 Rhythm minigames, where players get points by performing tasks to the rhythm of a song; and 4 Toad's Rec Room minigames, where players have the option to connect two undocked Nintendo Switch consoles together and play on both of them.

Differences from previous Mario Party games

Main text font comparison between Mario Party 10 (top), Mario Party: The Top 100 (middle; "100 Minigames" and "Revers-a-Bomb") and Super Mario Party (bottom; "Online Mariothon" and "Worldwide Match")

• Rather than a simple menu, there is now a complete controllable hub world.
• Character selection now comes before selecting any in-game modes.
• Practice mode in minigames now take place in the Rules screen itself, instead of being separate.
• On the rules screen, all players need to press a button to confirm they are ready to start instead of only the first player pressing it, similar to the other Mario Party games since Mario Party 9.
• In Partner Party, the Dice rolls are shared between the two players.
• Party Mode now only goes up to 20 turns, and 30 turns on Kamek's boards; previous games have the player decide between 10-50 turns.
• After a 2 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3 minigame or in any mode where the player competes with teammates, there is a bonus where they can high-five their teammates to earn bonus coins.
• Bonus Stars are determined based on turn amount. 20 and 30 turn games gives 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.
  • 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.
    • However, animations of what would be the characters' 2nd- and 3rd-place results can be on the results screen after a Mario Party is completed.
• The main text fonts from Mario Party 9, Island Tour, and 10 (which was first introduced in Super Mario 3D Land), Star Rush and 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).
  • As such, the title logo no longer uses the series logo from the previous games, which is the same font as the in-game main text font from Mario Party 9, Island Tour, and 10.
  • Dice Blocks as well as the "Start!"/"Finish!" texts still use the previous main text font, and the secondary text font from Mario Party 10, Star Rush and The Top 100 is still used for some in-game texts as well.

Regional differences

• In the British English version of the game, pronouns refer to Birdo as a male. The American English version and most other versions of the game have Birdo referred to as a female. In the French and Chinese versions, Birdo uses ambiguous pronouns.
• In the British English version, Toadies are named Magikoopas.

Super Mario Party is developed by Nd Cube and co-developed by CAProduction, the teams primarily responsible for many Mario Party titles, and the game is published by Nintendo. Shuichiro Nishiya, who has directed the most Mario Party installments and has been directing many Mario Party installments since Mario Party 6, reprises his role as the director for the game. Many of the game's directors and chief directors have worked on a Mario Party installment prior to Super Mario Party, such as music director, Chamy Ishi, who has worked on directing music for Mario Party installments since Mario Party 9.

Reception

Critical reception

Super Mario Party has been met with generally positive reviews, garnering an average of 76 based off 84 reviews on Metacritic and a 74.35% based off 36 reviews on GameRankings, notably receiving more praise than most Mario Party games in the series, being second only to the original Mario Party title for the Nintendo 64. Critics have generally praised the return to the original method of playing the game's main mode, blended with elements new to the series, as well as the amount of minigames and modes, in addition to the party experience with multiple players. Critics have compared the game favorably to the recent past installments of the Mario Party series. Much of the criticism has been directed at the number of boards, the board design, CPU intelligence, the single player experience, and the online implementation.

Casey Gibson of Nintendo World Report gave Super Mario Party an 8/10, praising this direction of the Mario Party series favorably compared to the Mario Party titles where "everyone was placed in the same vehicle, which would then move around the board at the same time." While Gibson has noted that the time can feel "drawn out" while playing with computer players, it was noted that the pacing can feel better than played with friends. Gibson has additionally praised the assortment of the 80 minigames where they are "actually a ton of fun and are pulled off very well", citing Sizzling Stakes as one of the favorite minigames played. The most jarring criticism from Gibson has been directed towards the online play and its features and options (which she considers restrictive), such as its rotation of 10 minigames, where she summarizes, "Overall, although the mode is fun, it won’t likely see much playtime as you repeat the same few games over and over. It’s a tease of what could be, but ultimately fails to add much value to the overall package." Colette from My Nintendo News gave the game an 8/10, echoing sentiments from Gibson, citing the previously released Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party 10 as disappointing, as well as stating "the less said about Mario Party: Island Tour (2013), the better", while praising Super Mario Party in comparison, saying it "changes the sour flow into something much sweeter." Colette has cited elements of minigames that she found frustrating, such as the CPU players in Pull It Together in the Challenge Road, but has otherwise mostly praised minigames seen as fun. Colette additionally criticizes the online functionality (finding it to be disappointing), although she did note that Super Mario Party was the first Mario Party game to feature online play.

Samuel Claiborn of IGN scored Super Mario Party a 7.3/10, 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, 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."

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo Switch	Becca S., GameSpew	9/10	"Super Mario Party manages to perfectly blend nostalgia with brand new gameplay, and no party’s going to be complete without it."
Nintendo Switch	Casey Gibson, Nintendo World Report	8.5/10	"Mario Party has seen its fair share of good and bad over the years, but Super Mario Party swings the pendulum back in the right direction. The return of the classic style is a welcome one, and the plethora of different minigames hit the mark more often than not. It would have been nice to see another board or two, but the assortment of other fully-fledged modes helps to mitigate that feeling."
Nintendo Switch	Colette, My Nintendo News	8.5/10	"With impressive aesthetics and delightful character animations, Nd Cube has finally found its rhythm with Super Mario Party. Although the game isn’t without its issues, these are few and far between, making the eleventh instalment one of the best it has been in years."
Nintendo Switch	Ryan Janes, Nintendo Insider	8/10	"Super Mario Party manages to get the series back on track in a big way, it’s selection of modes engaging, mini-games exciting and overall sense of fun high. While not every idea is a winner, it nails what fans have been after for many years while also injecting a few new twists of its own."
Nintendo Switch	Alex Olney, Nintendo Life	8/10	"This isn’t a cash-grab with Mario's face on the front; this is a well-constructed and beautifully realised Mario Party game which takes the series right back to its roots, but without being a straightforward rehash. There are a few interesting ideas that feel a little bit underdeveloped, but on the whole Super Mario Party is a true return to form."
Nintendo Switch	Samuel Claiborn, IGN	7.3/10	"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 certain minigames are prone to annoying random upsets."
Nintendo Switch	Brian Shea, Game Informer	7.3/10	"Despite lackluster board design and side modes that can become repetitive, Super Mario Party is a fun group game that showcases a diverse collection of minigames."
Nintendo Switch	Jordan Ramée, GameSpot	7/10	"Most of Super Mario Party's varied assortment of 80 minigames are fun, especially if you've got a full group of four players, as the NPCs aren't smart or skilled enough to pose much of a challenge until you unlock Master difficulty. The new Partner Party, River Survival, and Sound Stage modes add enjoyable alternatives to Mario Party mode--which at least returns to its competitive roots. And even if the unique character dice blocks don't shake up Super Mario Party's four boards enough to give Mario Party mode some longevity, they implement small moments of strategy into a series that has for too long solely relied on randomness to determine a winner."
Nintendo Switch	Stefan L, TheSixthAxis	6/10	"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. "

Out of Bounds in River Survival

In the Kamek's Curse route, one of the Dash Panels can be hit at a certain angle and, upon being hit, boosts the player out of bounds into the cliffside, softlocking them.
