    Mario Party The Top 100 was an interesting concept that had a lot of potential. Take beloved mini-games from series past and compile them into a tribute game to appeal to fans' nostalgia of Mario Party growing up. Instead, it was a cheap game without much substance to warrant a $40 price tag. Mario Party Superstars, however, was a major upgrade to that and was what the game should've beenMario Party The Top 100 was an interesting concept that had a lot of potential. Take beloved mini-games from series past and compile them into a tribute game to appeal to fans' nostalgia of Mario Party growing up. Instead, it was a cheap game without much substance to warrant a $40 price tag. Mario Party Superstars, however, was a major upgrade to that and was what the game should've been in the first place.

    Superstars does a good job on recreating the feel of the original Mario Party on N64 and does so right when you start the game. Several fan favorite mini-games are back, along with a selection of boards that I have mixed feelings of. Space Land is phenomenal, but I scratch my head at the inclusion of Peach's Birthday Cake, my least favorite board.

    My biggest criticism with the whole game is that a lot of charm from older games have been replaced by artificial imitations, and what I mean by that is that modern Mario Party seems to have higher standards and expectations that will weed out a lot of the original charm of early games. The bad voice clips are gone and replaced with milquetoast voice clips recycled from game to game (although Mario's "I did it!" is freakin' hilarious).

    The game also has an online mode, and as someone who really didn't like Super Mario Party's online mode, this made me raise some eyebrows. Everyone knows Nintendo isn't known for their reliable online services, so I had a number of reservations for that feature. However after trying it out with a few friends online, I'm happy to report it's actually quite reliable and doesn't slow the game enough to not make it worth it. You'll probably have more lag from other players not actually doing their turns than you will from online connections, so that was a pleasant surprise.

    Mario Party Superstars is probably the best Mario Party game to come out since Mario Party 8, I'd argue. I really can't say I enjoy it as much as the older games it's trying to emulate, but it was a good throwback and filled a void of a good version of The Top 100. You'll find yourself reminiscing on the good times back then as you play with newcomers, keeping the legacy of Mario Party strong.

    A good game, with a good selection of boards and mini-games. But the game really lacks content. Other than the online options, there are no additional game modes to enrich the experience. 5 boards and 10 characters is too few. Too bad, the game only does the bare minimum.

    I like this game, but I think the only way to enjoy it is to play in multiplayer mode, and that is because the game boards are only five. The minigames are fun overall. I don't know why, but I was expecting for something more.

    Probably my favorite Mario game right now.

    Why? The game only works if you actively talk with your friends. Strats, lies, collabs, and coop mini-games are essential here. That way, there's no way you can have fun right here. Also, since it can last a few hours, you can totally play it for all the hangout with your friends if you want. As nothing is perfect, this game can be pretty

    As nothing is perfect, this game can be pretty unfair. Thus, unpredictability can be a kind of artificial. So, at the end of the day, if you care most about having a good time with your friends, this can't be a problem. Otherwise, you'll get frustrated. A good example was my friend, Neto. He used the same strat all game. He literally played, sleep, woke up, and played again. At the game's end, he got lucky and won it - without even caring about it. Since it was a lot of fun and memorable, it's ok. But be advised about it.

    The developers were too cheap and lazy to develop new minigames. So they just copied and pasted a bunch of minigames from the previous installments.

This does not however excuse the ridiculous $60 price tag. I expect new minigames at that price.

    Lucky spaces are everywhere on the boards. Why even bother calling it lucky if it isn't doesn't take any actual luck to land on them. Speaking of boards, the greedy developers gave us only 5 boards that are reworked from previous Mario Party games. It's already bad enough that the developers couldn't even bother to create new boards, so why couldn't they give us more than 5 boards from previous Mario Party games? That is just laziness at this point. Speaking of laziness, there isn't even a proper story mode.

    Online works smoothly. You can play with other players on the boards and minigames. As expected, you can also play it locally and alone with bots. This game definitely has tons of replay value both online and offline. Very fun to play but it needs a bit more content to justify that $60 price tag. I recommend you get this game until it is like $30-$40.

    6/10, here's why:

    While the game is decent and playable, It has more cons than pros imo. This review will highlight some of them. Positives : - The game, imo, is better than the "abominations" known as Mario Party 9 and 10, the vehicle ones, since individual play/movement is back. - Decent amount of characters, 10 total. - Fun mini-games with a mix of luck and skill. - Friendly
    6/10, here's why:

    While the game is decent and playable, It has more cons than pros imo. This review will highlight some of them.

    Positives :
    - The game, imo, is better than the "abominations" known as Mario Party 9 and 10, the vehicle ones, since individual play/movement is back.
    - Decent amount of characters, 10 total.
    - Fun mini-games with a mix of luck and skill.
    - Friendly for kids, meaning, fun and a casual game by default, can be slightly tweaked for more competitive play, keyword: "slightly".
    - A variety of boards that are mostly fun and offer changes to gameplay.

    Negatives:
    - TOO casual and friendly leaving you with not much control (Luck focused).
    - Lack of options and custom settings which leaves for almost no actual competitive settings. There ARE options to enable/disable handicap or enable/disable bonus stars, BUT nothing else.
    - Lack of competitive play support, and competitive settings. E.g. features such as: Banning/limiting items, increasing/decreasing item and/or star prices, modified coin gain value (coins gained/lost when landing on blue/red spaces) etc. Game released in 2021, you'd think the technology would be there by now.
    - Limited gameplay and strategy, and competitive play due to no optimal settings, bad board rework and the current items available, most being unavailable due to specific boards, random luck events or "locked" until the 5 final rounds. Also lack of targeting and item variety create less interesting plays such as planning ahead aka setting up plays or sabotaging a "specific" player etc.
    - Lack of "content". There are currently 8 characters, 5 boards and 16 items currently ingame, 9 which are always available and 2 which board specific. That leaves 5 "rare/hidden" items.
    - Lack of boards to play, while 5 boards is not too bad the game could certainly need more boards, since most boards are unique and play a specific way. E.g. On 1 board the Star doesn't move to a different space after you buy one, etc. Also when you compare to older titles such as the 1st mario party which released 20 years ago and had 8 or so boards to play at launch, it's no wonder the game feels like it's lacking content.
    - NO DLC CONTENT. Which further adds to the "not enough boards" issue and other issues such as, not enough items.
    - Bad/Weird CPU, mainly Hard and Master level. They sometimes do "correct" plays such as warp the star away if you're close to it, other times they rotate the same little path in the corner using up all of their mushrooms and extra dices, essentially doing nothing each turn. They seem decent at mini-games?
    - Bad game balance. You gain more money than you can spend. This and the existence of an abundance of free items almost makes even the shop obsolete. It also encourages you to spend your items since you'll refill shortly. The bad board and game balancing issue leads to issues in terms of economy, items and strategy, which creates almost no counterplay or smart plays, it feels too much like autoplay/luck.
    - Not enough Red/negative spaces, most were removed on the reworked boards making loss of coin difficult, also greatly affecting 1v3 and 2v2 minigame rounds.
    - Versus events 1v3 and 2v2, excluding Vs Space aka 1v1, do not lose you coins on a minigame loss, at least not the way it used to?
    - There's an excessive amount of Lucky spaces on each board, 10 to 15 and they offer random but free items or 10-20+ coins. Like waaaay too much. Both spaces and net gain from the coins/items.
    - Lucky space makes shop semi-obsolete. Has too many options granting you more items then the shop.
    - There's not enough items, there are 16 items currently ingame, 9 available at all times, others exclusive to specific board or board/game states such as hidden in bonus spaces, final 5 turns event etc.
    - There's not enough item variation, Items are more buff focused, there's barely any that target opponents, if there are it's usually random and/or affects you too.
    - Item balacing issue, rarity issue and availability issue ruin the game and makes 0 sense. "Rare" items are too commonly found and aquired, mainly the Golden Pipe.
    - Item shop sells too many similar items which means no real point in buying the lesser version. Golden Pipe>Triple Dice>Double Dice>Mushroom>Custom Dice, all items that affect "forward" movement in a way, getting you closer to the star. All affordable and almost as commonly found in shop as in lucky spaces btw.
    - Items lack originality/difference between other items or share similar purpose making the others obsolete in a way.
    - Too much coin generation per turn+minigame (probably mentioned this but I'll do it again, since it's insane).
    - Pity prizes for 2nd and 3rd place after minigame, leads to no "real" meaning in winning a minigame besides gaining 10 coins instead of 3. You can no longer deny someone who's near a star the "needed" gold since there are pity prizes now.

    As for the new content, there is a severe lack of characters included to pick from, in fact there are more characters in almost every other entry in the franchise. The online is horrible, and the fact you are usually going to play with people on bad internet isn't going to help you either. Many features that are usually included in triple AAA remasters are not here either: Lack of any sort of gallery, extra features, or anything unique to make the player interested.

    It's literally just watered down old school Mario party. You're better off playing any of the first 6 entries than this.

    Whilst its nice to get a new Mario Party considering that Nintendo more or less abandoned the previous one, even though gameplay wise it was more solid than previous versions but I honestly was expecting so much more for superstars, I was expecting pretty much a remaster entire first 5 games instead you get 5 boards from previous games which are arguably meh to good at best and the 'top' 100 mini-games, the unlockables are shallow and do really nothing for the game at all, mostly stickers and cards, basically Super Stars is more like a collection of mini-games with everything else an afterthought.

    The boards are all mostly small and seriously lack features from other series that made the games more fun, couple that with the still frustrating and the bonuses at the end are a joke, you could literally go from 1st place to last place and lose just because you didn't land on enough red spaces, winning mini-games doesn't seem to really matter anymore either, as long as you have enough coins for a star then you could lose practically every mini-game and still end up winning the entire game.

    The bonus rewards are always way more biased now towards the AI if you play single player, I've literally yet to win any game unless I've been at least 3 stars ahead of 2nd place, all other times you get robbed of any wins effectively making the past hour you spent battling out a complete waste of time, turning off random bonuses is a must and even then, you can see very clearly what the AI is doing several turns in advance of what its going to do, it is *very* predictable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is so flawed with so many easy mini games the board have too many lucky boards and less spaces. Also if you play with the N64 controller that came for switch pretty much becomes unplayable on dungeon duos and other mini games that require the X and Y button apparently Nintendo didn’t think about that. Also good mini games that they are missing is Grab bag day at the races and Toad in the box good mini games and not simple and easy ones. Also 1st place player can abuse the game of getting golden pipes And the lucky spots if he or she has the curse block this game is too easy to abuse imo. At the same time the online is good so its meh but i don’t plan to utilize tbh. Also where is a bowser map like almost every mario party had a bowser map and now they have possibly decided not to and possibly will put in a DLC to Cash grab. Overall this game is flawed with Alot of things to abuse in the game. Expand

    Mario Party is arguably the most fun and most accesible party game ever created. In that sense, Superstars is a fun game and definitely not a "bad purchase". However, it is a very low-effort game with the triple A pricetag, and that doesn't sit well with me. So collecting some of the most fun minigames of older titles and putting them in 1 game is fine, I'd even say they did a good job.Mario Party is arguably the most fun and most accesible party game ever created.

So collecting some of the most fun minigames of older titles and putting them in 1 game is fine, I'd even say they did a good job. But aside from that, there's just nothing. They've picked minigames from 10 different titles, yet they decided to use some of the most generic playing boards in the games history. Only the first 3 Mario Games have their boards in here, with one of them being so outdated that the star remains stationary after collecting it. There is nothibg meaningful to unlock either. Mario Party 4 for the Gamecube for example had 5 boards off the bat, but every time you beat one you play this special minigame vs the host. Each character has a unique room to build and they receive an item when they win a board. Beating 5 of them unlocks the special Bowser one, and if you beat that there's an endboss Bowser too. This is a game from what, 20 years ago? And it has more content than this cashgrab game.

    If you don't have a Mario Party game or never played the games, this is a fine addition for family and friends. Minigames are still gold, but looking at the effort for the price, Nintendo is robbing you.

    Instead of getting an actually good game with a new plot instead of the repeated one, we get another trash cash grab. My brothers used to love Mario. Then Kirby dragged them away and they haven't touched a Mario game since. That's because Kirby actually has interesting stories that don't recycle the same **** over the course of 36 years.

    The Mario Party everyone wanted to come back, just the best local multiplayer on Switch right now.

    This game is a great time and easy to play. Unlike the other games you control you. I am so happy the series is returning to its routes. It is an easy choice to buy

    This game is pretty fun to play with friends. It is a fairly simple and fun game and it creates a lot of tense moments (which I'm fond of). There is a lot of luck involved in this game but also a decent amount of skill which I like because while more experienced players have an advantage, they aren't guarantied to crush their friends.

    This is one of those games where your kids end up needy, expecting a treat or a present out of nowhere. Because in this game, you are rewarded about every 10 steps for just advancing in a game session.

    As a total package, Mario Party Superstars is indeed pretty super. But is it more super than Super Mario Party? That's the real question, now that the Switch is hosting two distinctly different Mario soirées. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 71]

    A great party game that threw away the chains of unnecessary and counterproductive innovations from the previous episode. It relies on proven content from several previous Mario Party games, which works almost flawlessly in the new jacket. Maybe it would need more content, especially plating boards.

    Mario Party Superstars is basically a celebration of the Mario Party franchise. But technical issues still haunt the online multiplayer, besides the lack of attention regarding minor details, which ends up hindering the fun factor.
