Mario Party was never something I inherently thought I’d like handheld for, but with the Switch's detachable Joy Cons, it's the first game I can truly see myself wanting to play with someone on a flight or long train ride. It just so happened I was traveling a bit during the Superstars review period, and playing in handheld mode was really fun, even if it caused physical strain on the console. Plus, this allows Superstars to actually take advantage of the Switch's handheld mode, which is a surprisingly great way to play the game. No motion controls, no movement, just simple button mashing. For a while now, Mario Party games have been closely tied to a console's gimmick, which isn't bad, but it's great to move away from that for the first time in a long time. Switch has rumble and haptic feedback with motion controls, Wii U had dual screens, the Wii had motion controls, hell, the GameCube even had that godforsaken microphone. Mario Party Superstars removes console gimmicks. Plus, it was a blast to revisit games I had forgotten about. Through my hours with the game, I found the games were both much easier to grasp than I remembered and much harder than just shaking a Joy Con. The minigames come from all the Mario Parties prior to Super Mario Party, meaning Mario Parties 1-10 are all represented here, and they're all hits. Courtesy The greatest hits minigames are absolutely the way to go.

Glee, rage-the full spectrum of emotions. It was the type of rage that nearly made me break a controller. It was humiliating, disgusting, and downright disrespectful, but I couldn't help but want-no, need-more to feed my bloodlust. He stole stars from me, causing him and me to rank third and fourth, respectively, against an easy Birdo and Yoshi.
After the first round of Mario Party Superstars that I played with my brother, I was shocked that we didn't get a noise complaint. Really fun, addicting, absolutely enthralling horseshit. There was a reason I remembered Mario Party with the taste of bitter adrenaline: because the N64 boards and the old minigames I grew up with were horseshit. It reawakens a deep rage.Īnd I'm not sure I'll ever be the same. Superstars truly takes everything that was so great about Mario Party and puts it in one neat celebration. Beyond just board game mode, there are minigame gauntlets, a shop where you can buy in-game reactions, decorations for a player card, and even retro music to sub in for the new arrangements. Superstars also includes over 100 minigames from Mario Parties past.
While I’d love to see some other maps and maybe minigames make an appearance in DLC like they've done with Mario Golf and Tennis, the five you have here are more than enough. The five classic maps are some of the best in the series, and allow for massively versatile gameplay styles. Mario Party Superstars honors-and improves upon-the past.
Here are 11 things I absolutely loved or hated about the new Mario Party Superstars. It sounded like the perfect Mario Party experience-bringing back hit minigames and some of the best boards in Party history, along with full online functionality-and for the most part it is. Maybe Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will finally get some new content? Only time will tell.I barreled through this cycle once again with Mario Party Superstars, out October 29. It raises the question of what other games they can potentially alter long after release. Imagine this released during the beginning of the global pandemic? There doesn't seem to be a reason this happened besides Nintendo just wanted to. Not only that, but they did it as the world begins to return back to normal. To introduce online play to a game that has been out for nearly 3 years is head-scratching. This is one of the strangest things Nintendo has ever done. Now, players can ruin their friendships from across the globe. Also, play data will not save during online play. Not only that but all maps and all characters will be made available in online play, regardless of the progress of the participating players. Players can actually invite players over to their game by heading over to the friend's list for every game except for Online Mariothon.
