    The games are fun but they seriously destroyed the mario party franchise with the beyond terrible selection of maps. Only 4 maps and they are all just variations of a boring square

    You can NOT play the game with pro controllers???
    We did buy two of them, just to be able to play with 4 players, and now cannot, but would have to buy two more useless joycons???

    Thats it, Nintendo, im fed up with you, totally and finally...

    The 0 is an honest score. If you look at my history, you'll find that I rarely ever give it, but this game is deserving. Makes Warcraft 3 reforged look like a masterpiece.    … Expand

    It's a party game meant to play with your friends but nintendo limits the controllers to joy-con only, which means that even if you have a couple controllers that are not joy-con your friends wont play. Not to mention the forgotten online play.

    All they had to do was copy the success of MP1-MP3, but no... for the seventh consecutive game they go a different route. One that provides players 4 TINY MAPS and a bunch of crappy mini-games. What a tragedy. Anyone that says this game is good is lying to themselves... it would have been so easy to make a good one.

    How can a game with such a history be designed so badly today?
    The maps are smaller and feels rushed, you cant play online multiplayer on the boards...
    Also, there is no way to play with the pro controller or the joycons attached together, only seperatly. You cant play the game in handheld, so you cant play singleplayer... No other controller works than the single joycons... Also,    How can a game with such a history be designed so badly today?

    Quite bland after a bit of playing. The boards are rather basic and the online mode is quite bad, you don't even get to play a proper game online it is just a couple of mini-games and thats it.

    Maybe I'm biased having played mostly Mario Party 7. But this game is about as fun as pooping blood.

    The 2ND, WORST Mario Party... Ever.

    Bad mini games, terrible boards... Cheaper feeling, cheaper presentation...

    Worser game. all around.

    Play Mario Party 8, 6, or... preferably 4....

    It's WAYYYYY more worth your time,

    and money.

Super Mario Party has got to have the most disappointing Nintendo online features of all time. Normally you would think I am complaining about the board game feature being available for only offline and local but i'm not. Mario Party's online consist of a 4 player lobby with only 10 available mini-games at launch and will be rotated periodically. Honestly it doesn't take too long to get bored of playing the very short mini-games between 30 mins-1 hour of game time. It is ridiculous that you have to purchase the game at full price and be limited to such a half-ass commitment to a online mode. Personally the game shouldn't have included a feature they spent no time on working on and kept them game local only at best. In conclusion not worth 20 for online (for this game at least) and 60 for the game unless you have friends near by for local play.… Expand

    Cant believe were in 2018 and we still can´t play the board online with our friends.
    The boards are too small and theres only 4 boards!! I had so much hope in this game and i am very disappointed. Can´t believe mario party 7 back in 2005 had bigger and more boards!!

    The character dices are not balancing well example. Wario. And this game has not much extreme boards and less board only 4? Seriously? than the other Mario party games. Kind of boring as well it makes me mad that the game is extremely luck. No using procons are handheld it needs to be more developed.

    It’s awful. They took all of the bad elements of the Mario party games and put it into this one. The computer is very hard even on the lowest difficulty. I wouldn’t recommend

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Il gioco più confusionario ed illogico della saga, mappe piccole e brutte. Minigiochi non divertenti e modalità stranissime che funzionano senza seguire una logica, che era presente nei vecchi capitoli. E' di gran lunga il peggior titolo della saga… Expand

    The reason that I'm giving this game a 0 is that I've never seen a boardgame that solely depends on such skill (because of the minigames). The game itself revolves around coins. And the minigames are the game changer. Also the cpu's are the worst teammates in group based minigames, the cpu's programming is awful.

    This game is trash, Nintendo slapped some stuff together and sold it. I emailed them for my money back lol, it's that bad

    No skill involved and everybody wins from minigames. It's as if Nintendo games are made for 3 year olds now

    Trash. Absolute trash. Spend your money on literally anything else. I once spent half as much money as the cost of this game on a bottle of tequila that tasted awful and gave me heartburn, and it was still a better purchase than this travesty.

    Le falta muchísimo para ser un buen Mario Party. Pocos mapas, muy planos y sin grandes cambios. Minijuegos aburridisimos y simples. En general un Mario Party que parece hecho deprisa y sin ganas de cumplir.

    hey made stars only cost 10 coins. Presumably to scale with the smaller boards and more restrictive max turns. But the deflation in star value cascades through the rest of the game.

    It is an extremely rare scenario that you wont have 10 coins at any point during the game. You'll almost never be in a scenario where you make it to a star and can't afford one. This in turn makes    hey made stars only cost 10 coins. Presumably to scale with the smaller boards and more restrictive max turns. But the deflation in star value cascades through the rest of the game.

    It is an extremely rare scenario that you wont have 10 coins at any point during the game. You'll almost never be in a scenario where you make it to a star and can't afford one.

    This in turn makes minigames trivial. Since the value of a coin is next to nothing now, the importance of actually winning minigames to earn coins plummets. The main appeal of Mario party now has little to no relevance to the board game.

    In previous installations of the series the game required a combination of minigame prowess, coin management, and a little bit of luck. Now the game requires little more than praying to RNGesus so you can stamepede around collecting as many stars as you can; limited by nothing more than your ability to roll high numbers. Previously this wasn't a viable strategy because you needed to ensure you had 20 coins before passing over a star.

    Example, after coming in 3rd place in the first mini-game, I bought a star on turn 2. In another game on turn 5, after losing every single mini-game, and rolling 1s. I used items and rolled a 15. I earned 3 stars in a single turn, buying 2 stars in one turn, and getting one from a hidden block. Boards are tiny and there are no interesting tiles to land on. All the usable items are lackluster. Mini-games are solid however.

    Normally buying two stars in a single turn would require some form of achievement. This is not the case in Super Mario Party. As far as I'm concerned this game is just the participation trophy of the franchise.    … Expand

    Super Mario Party goes back to its roots and delivers just like it should. The vast number of different modes, really prevents any to shine the brightest, but the entire game is a small step back that greatly leaps forward. It makes us only more excited for the next entry. Something we haven't felt with the Mario Party series in ages...

    Both players and critics agreed that in the last couple of years Mario Party’s quality has been dropping. Nintendo decided to go for broke this time and I hope slapping “Super” in front of the title heralds the restart of the franchise, because SMP finally delivers what we expected. [12/2018, p.51]

    Complex and unpredictable board game, numerous mini-games and being able to play as your favorite character – those are the three pillars of Mario Party’s success. Neither of these elements was polished to perfection over the years, but together they offer a very enjoyable experience. [Issue#234, p.72]
