Super Mario Party is a solid starting point for newcomers, with simple but fun gameplay easily involving competitiveness between players despite its less beginner-friendly unlockable progression. FULL REVIEW: I’ve never played a party game. Due to my long-time connection to Nintendo, however, I wanted to give the Mario Party franchise a shot. Luckily, Super Mario Party offers a solid refresh to the series. The title’s primary game mode includes five boards in total, and while they are all linear, its only goal is to use coins and obtain stars, the winning currency. Each playable character comes with a unique dice block, and despite some blocks being less useful than others, it doesn’t affect gameplay too much. After each round of turns rolling the dice, players must compete in a minigame, earning them coins to use towards stars depending on where they finish. After ten to twenty rounds, a player is chosen as the victor after the game supplies star freebies to whoever struggles to get them throughout the game. Primal Hearts

In its defense, it makes the family-friendly gameplay much more forgiving if you are inexperienced or have bad luck. However, it does remain an annoyance to more experienced players. Super Mario Party also includes a few other game modes. River Survival is a co-op mode where four players get as far as possible in a riverboat before the timer runs out. Players increase their timer by completing minigames. Partner Party has two sets of two players on nonlinear versions of the Mario Party’s boards. It makes sense, as it’s essentially the same game mode but instead focusing on teamwork. Sound Stage is a rhythm game, Challenge Road is a single-player mode similar to one found in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, and Toad’s Rec Room includes some minigames that look similar to a few from Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics. Lastly, Free Play, Mariothon, and Square Off all focus on minigames in their own ways. One of the issues with Mario Party seems to be redundancy, and I’m not sure if it’s good or bad. Unfortunately, Super Mario Party does come with some issues. The lowest number of rounds in the primary game mode takes about an hour to finish, making it difficult to play if someone’s under a time crunch. The prerequisites for each locked character are rather ominous because of what players must do to unlock them, which the game never explicitly hints at. I find it surprising because of its family-friendly nature, causing the title’s long-term gameplay to become more time-consuming than enjoyable. Many locked characters in Nintendo’s games unlock simply by playing them, and Super Mario Party decided to go in a different direction. While the title is a great party and minigame experience, it includes some avoidable flaws that need ironing out.

I think we all collectively overreacted when ND Cube finally figured out how to make a Mario Party game. This is a return to form, but a fairly mediocre one, and a lot of that has to do with the lackluster board selection. Outside of the gold one, this game just has a bunch of uninteresting grids that you navigate with the incredibly unreliable Joy-Cons. Not only that, while the minigames can be fun in doses, none are truly memorable enough to warrant returning to another game. The dice block mechanic is fun, though. That adds a layer of strategy not present in other Mario Party entries, and should probably return in the future (along with buddies). Fun, but surpassed by the next installment
