Esos juegos de tableros con minijuegos divertidos y que rompen amistades pero... Que es lo que pasa cuando le quitamos los tableros dejando únicamente uno super lineal, le quitamos varios personajes y solo añadimos un montón de minijuegos de entregas pasadas exceptuando a los otros juegos de la saga que no eran especialmente buenos o que simplemente estaban en consolas portátiles? Pues... pasa que sale este juego.
    Digo, no me malinterpretéis, el juego no es malo. Si lo compras solamente en busca de divertirte únicamente jugando a los minijuegos lo vas a disfrutar mucho, pero si lo compras pensando que te vas a encontrar con una experiencia de Mario party convencional lo llevas crudo.
    En definitiva, a pesar de tener poco contenido y no tener esa esencia de un Mario party como tal, el juego es entretenido y disfrutable hasta cierto punto.

    All that the game offers its fun, but there is a lack of content. Its very bare bones and even if the game is good its way too small of a game to recommend it to everyone. If you like Mario Party, you may have fun, I indeed did, i actually liked this game. But, uhhh, its kind of an incomplete experience

    Just play any other Mario Party game and you'll have more enjoyment of this piece of garbage. It's so bad that it doesn't even have a reason to exist anymore when Superstars is on the Switch.

    Although the minigames are nice, there's nothing else to do. Just play all of a good Mario Party's minigames one-by-one, then go to play one of Star Rush's boards, then that's really Mario Party: The Top 100

    Nd Cube destroyed what would be the best game in the franchise. The minigames have really good ones, but after some time the bad ones come. Why include Mecha Marathon?

    With a grand total of one board, yes, ONE, instead of bringing classic boards like Superstars did, they just made a generic board. The board is what puts the minigames together.

    Why releasing this on the 3DS in 2017? The Switch had already been released! For some reason, Nintendo really wanted to extend the 3DS life. The only reason I see is to make the handhelds' minigames a better experience. But where are they? They aren't in the game. Neither in Superstars, but this is for another review. And in 2022, people still ask for Camera Shy to return.

    Mario Party: The Top 100 could have been awesome, but it feels more like an incomplete project. And in 2021, Mario Party Superstars came to dig this one into the grave. Probably the most disappointing game from the franchise. And I don't think anyone is going to revisit it. (46/100)    … Expand

It’s so disappointing how Nintendo, one, didn’t include good boards to go along with good Minigames to make for a good game, and two, didn’t have the community vote on what Minigames we wanted to see. Like, why is Tug O War, the worst minigame, in this game? Thank God we have Mario Party Superstars… Expand

    I'm going to take you through a story like this:
    *Imagine seeing this game, thinking it will be the perfect Mario Party game, with 100 of your favorite minigames, 10 of your favorite boards (why didn't Nintendo think of that), 20 of your favorite characters, a nice online mode and it's available on the Switch.

    *You see that it's on the 3DS. Well that doesn't hurt the game really. So you still find it to be fun.
    *But then you see that some crappy minigames return. Nintendo should have let the people vote on 10 minigames from each Mario Party game from 1-10. Instead some crappy minigames are still in it. And it's not 10 from each game. But it's still a mostly fun time.
    *Then you realize that none of the handheld minigames return. That sucks, but you still find this game fine.
    *However, you realize that there are only 8 characters. It's very underwhelming but you think, well it's not for 10 players at once, this can still be good.
    *But the worst happens: you find a board that isn't interesting at all. You think, it's just 1 board, probably for new players, let's see the others. But you realize that's the only board. You think, it can still be a decent time. So you play it and eventually get bored.
    *You check out the other modes, but they aren't that fun. So you go online.
    *No one wants to play this underwhelming online mode on the 3DS though. So you put this game away, thinking that it isn't that bad but isn't that great.
    *You play the other Mario Party games, and forget about this one. Eventually you find it one day, and play it, then remembering how bad it was. So you get rid of it.

    I really like the minigames here. there fun and enjoyable. there are great ones like booksquirm and hexagon heat. my only problem here is the luck minigames. there are a lot of them and most of them aren't fun luck minigames. yeah I know every Mario party game has luck minigames but not as many as the top 100. nexts lets talk about the roster. Its bad. they removed toad and dk for rosalina. dk and toad just get shoved into mini game island. they should of been at least 10 characters on the roster. now let talk about boards. there is only one at it is practically a star rush board. I couldn't even play the board once because it was so bad.

    but luckily there is extra single player content. meet mini game island. a fun 2 hour side game where you play a bunch of minigames. pretty simple. there are also 2 modes to play but there not worth much. finally there is local play. now luckily this game can have 4 people play on one game card. which I'm very happy about. but sadly there is nothing to do in multiplayer. it gets boring after 10 min.

    overall Mario party the top 100 is kinda bad. its dull and boring. and it just makes me want to play a better game. I wouldn't buy it. If you want a Mario party exorenice on the 3ds then I would recommend star rush or island tour. Just not this one.    … Expand

We're talking about the "Mario Party" game that has the top 100 fan favorite minigames in the series! It's absolutely amazing!

    The first mode in the game is Minigame Island, which is basically an adventure mode with minigames as the levels. Because there really isn't any bad minigames whatsoever, all the levels feel fun to play.

    Minigame Match is the second game. If you've played "Mario Party: Star Rush", this mode might feel a bit familiar. 4 players are moving around 1 (not-so big) board simultaneously, and playing minigames to collect coins to pay off for Stars. It's very basic, and because their only 8 characters to play as and 1 tiny board, there's not gonna be much variety going around.

    Championship Battles is a tournament-based mode where you challenge your friends and rivals to a series of minigames to see who will be crowned winner. It's fine if you don't want to get into anything big in the game.

    Decathlon is the fourth and final mode of the game, which is where you compete against your friends/rivals to series of minigames, but winning isn't everything in this mode. Instead, you're all trying to go for a new high score. Again, nothing all too big.

    Overall, "Mario Party: The Top 100" feels like a huge celebration of "Mario Party"'s success of making fantastic minigames to put a smile on anybody's face. Although, the only real problem is the lack of characters, having the fewest amount of them since "Mario Party 5". But, if you can look past that, you'll have blast blasting away your opponents with cannonballs or eating a gigantic pizza with your friend! I totally recommend it!    … Expand

    Good games. But no Good boards. Seriously, there is only one multiplayer board. So is this game purposely for single player? Also, no online mode? No Donkey Kong? This should've been $30. No offense Nintendo.
    Anyway, I wish that the next Mario Party game has Paper Mario and have one minigame with WarioWare microgames. Those microgames are awesome.

    A game that could have been lots of things. It could have been a tribute to a great franchise that is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It could have been a place of reference for active multiplayer gaming that offers pure fun. Instead, it is a collection of mini-games that can be compared to a trip down the memory lane – an opportunity to relive good gaming moments, which is marked by lack of elements that can give this title its proper place into the Mario Party fandom.
