Mario Party Superstars - Nintendo Switch

Gift to our great granddaughter

Im just by myself and I feel like its ok if youre with friends. I had to buy cause it was cheaper.

Yes i love this game but there’s not a teams mode which really disappoints me. There are also no mini games like the last one. Otherwise, this game is better at its core but has no extras.

After seeing some really great reviews, I got this for my Mario Party-obsessed son. The kid has had his entire family playing Super Mario Party daily for the last few months. So it came as quite a shock when this game landed without much fanfare from anyone in our household. It has a few things to hold over Super Mario Party, but not enough to justify the purchase (in my opinion). Lets compare what each game does better... MARIO PARTY SUPERSTARS: *Menus and games move faster *The single dice goes all the way to 10 (instead of 6) *No motion controlled mini-games (this is actually a con in my house) *More maps (by 1), and lots of classic mini-games *The Bonus Star settings are tweakable and optional SUPER MARIO PARTY: *Challenge mode *Team mode *Bonus mini games *River survival *A rhythm game mode *More characters and unlocks *Unique character dice, plus earnable friends on the gameboard *A sense of control regarding the outcome of dice rolls For my money, I appreciate Super Mario Partys strategic gameplay far more than this ones on-rails, RNG feel. I also wish Superstars offered even half the game modes that Super does. Super also has more characters, plus things to chase. Did I mention that the mini games in Super are mostly unique to the game mode youre playing? It keeps things feeling fresh. I really do appreciate that Superstars did such a good job with nostalgia, and letting you create games with your ideal ruleset. I just wish the devs didnt strip away all the stuff that made the other game so much fun. Superstars feels like playing Candyland, where Super Mario Party is closer to a Monopoly experience. If nothing else, both games feel very distinct from one another.

Summary: I recommend this game. Fun all around. I consider this game Nintendos apology for the terrible Super Mario Party game from 2018. Pros: +Many of our favorite, nostalgic maps and minigames from previous entries with improved visuals. +Online! +100 Minigames. +10 Characters with a decent variety. +Info about which entry the minigames are from and options to select certain sets of minigames. Cons: -I deducted a star because there are no meaningful unlockables (i.e. extra levels, minigames, characters, etc.). -Online isnt free. As a PC gamer, its always hard to pay for whats free somewhere else. In case you dont know. Its free to play most games online on PC. Just saying.

Lots of fun playing it with my wife and bringing back lots of memories with the family about those days back when I was in highschool.

Love this game, I bought it for myself, thinking it would be too hard for my 6 year old daughter, but she loves the mini games. I have to get another one now.

My game arrived on time and in perfect condition. The graphics are really nice and you can use your pro-controller, I dont think there are any motion controls. It seems to have more customization than the other Mario Parties. You can make the text faster, add more turns to a game while youre playing, and you can even pick what kind of mini-games you want to have. One of my favorite things is that the game saves after every mini-game/turn, so you can stop playing your board at any time and so back to play it later!

Finally! After the last two disappointing releases - the old board game is back that my friends and I know and love. I havent tried online yet, but I am so excited to play with my sisters who live in other states. Last night I played with my wife and the mini games were fun, the first board we played was challenging. This brought many smiles and many LOLs last night when we played

I played the Mario party games on the Nintendo 64 and this game showed some nostalgia in those. Played this game for hours with my cousins. Very fun
