Super Mario Party

Despite lackluster board design and side modes that can become repetitive, Super Mario Party is a fun group game that showcases a diverse collection of minigames. With so many different modes, it’s easy for you and your friends to consume the entertaining minigames Super Mario Party delivers.

Super Mario Party is a rousing success as I saw nothing but smiles all around during my numerous play sessions with over a dozen different people. However, those smiles were short lived as they soon faded when we realized that there were only four boards to play and the rest of the other modes were simple novelties at best. A shame as this party was one I was glad to be invited to- I just didn’t feel the desire to stick around for too long.

Super Mario Party delivers the couch multiplayer experience the series is famous for with an awesome new layer of strategy, 80 mostly-great minigames, and the quirky tech of the Switch controllers to keep things feeling fresh. The downside is that with the Switch’s controllers come some annoyances that make getting people settled onto your couch a bit more of a hassle than previous parties, and the best games are prone to annoying random upsets.

The new Partner Party, River Survival, and Sound Stage modes add enjoyable alternatives to Mario Party mode--which at least returns to its competitive roots. And even if the unique character dice blocks don't shake up Super Mario Party's four boards enough to give Mario Party mode some longevity, they implement small moments of strategy into a series that has for too long solely relied on randomness to determine a winne

All in all, though Super Mario Party is by no means a perfect game, it succeeded in skyrocketing the Super Mario franchise out of mediocrity and back into the hearts of fans everywhere. With a couple of tweaks and patches and -- dare I hope -- free DLC boards down the line, the game could stand alongside series juggernauts like Mario Party 2 and 3. But even if nothing changes, Super Mario Party is a must-have for any Switch owner, and a natural fit for the console.

After the misstep that was Mario Party 10, Nintendo has gone back to basics with Super Mario Party. The competitive boards and minigames are back, along with a few welcome gameplay twists that make this party game feel like a fresh start for the series. From two-console minigames to the Joy-Con motion controls, the new Switch features elevate the entire experience, making Super Mario Party the best in the series so far.

Recent Mario Party games have previously had a somewhat sterile feel to them, but with Super Mario Party that simply isn’t the case. This isn’t a cash-grab with Mario's face on the front; this is a well-constructed and beautifully realised Mario Party game which takes the series right back to its roots, but without being a straightforward rehash. There are a few interesting ideas that feel a little bit underdeveloped, but on the whole Super Mario Party is a true return to form.

Wink, wink, Nintendo! With plenty of game modes to choose from, you’re never stuck doing the same thing over and over, and the addition of fun characters like Goomba, Monty Mole and Hammer Bro as well as the elusive Diddy Kong is a welcome bonus. Super Mario Party manages to perfectly blend nostalgia with brand new gameplay, and no party’s going to be complete without it.

In the end, though, this doesn’t detract too much from the overall Super Mario Party package. Yes, some of these issues and the lack of online play may frustrate some. However, the sheer joy I had playing this charming game really made it worthwhile. While it doesn’t propel the Mario Party series to the multiplayer heights of Nintendo spin-off franchises like Mario Kart and Smash Bros, it offers so many pleasant memories when playing alongside friends that I can’t help but love it.

Super Mario Party is a welcome comeback for the series that seemingly plays it safe with its modes, but still manages to be fun. The best way to sum it up what exactly is missing would be a lack of focus, as it feels a little bit like the teams were scattered and didn’t get together to discuss how to make each mode a little more in-depth.

If you have three friends that are Mario Party fanatics – than there might be just enough here to satisfy the Mario Party craving for a while. Otherwise, it’s really hard to recommend Super Mario Party – especially if you don’t have anyone to play with, the stupid AI will just drive you insane. Nintendo, your Mario Party fans deserve better than Super Mario Party. Take a page out of the Smash Bros book and give fans a real treat next time.

By giving players objectives to complete and stuffing the game with a variety of new game modes, Super Mario Party manages to at least feel different than its predecessors in some key areas. However, it still suffers from the same problems that have plagued the series for years, and the online mode is disappointing, to put it mildly.

If you have three friends visiting and Super Mario Party is the centre of your gathering, you will be guaranteed a great time. This entry is a positive step for the series and a fitting entry for the Switch, especially when it comes to the fantastic local multiplayer. The array of game modes, the traditional boards, and of course, the mini-games, will have you challenging your friends for precious hours of pure memorable joy!

The minigames of Super Mario Party are great, taking advantage of the Switch hardware in unique and creative ways. It's the dialed back board game and its lackluster extra modes that let the whole package down though. While it's still bound to be a great party game to break out when friends visit, it lacks the drama of the best in the series.

I have a lot of quibbles with Super Mario Party that could have drowned it, but the extras pull it up above water. 80 new minigames, most of which aren't busts, is a feat. Having a team-based mode where you can move around freely and going back to basics with the core board game (goodbye car, hopefully see you never!) was a good move. Restricting play options and easing up on the amount of boards available? Not so much.

Mario Party has seen its fair share of good and bad over the years, but Super Mario Party swings the pendulum back in the right direction. The return of the classic style is a welcome one, and the plethora of different minigames hit the mark more often than not. It would have been nice to see another board or two, but the assortment of other fully-fledged modes helps to mitigate that feeling.

When it comes to multiplayer fun, you can't do much better than Super Mario Party. The variety of modes and mini-games is so phenomenal that you'll gladly boot it up whenever you have friends or family over. That is, until Super Mario Party 2 releases.

Party animals feeling nostalgic for the original Party mode will also have a ball, as the game returns to the series’ roots. Super Mario Party serves up the good ol’ days while trying something new for a cocktail of fun. Even if you’re partying alone, the opportunity to play online makes solo gaming feel a little less lame.

Super Mario Party has brought back classic Mario Party, players don’t need to all travel together in one car, plenty of fun new items and boards with fresh ideas. Partner Party changes up the game while not taking away any fun and River Survival is a fun way to restore those friendships. Though Sound Stage and the additional Minigame modes fall flat there’s enough happening here for any fan of Mario Party to want to own this game.

Super Mario Party combines the aspirations of a Wii game with the well-rounded craftsmanship of a Switch title; it utilizes all of the Switch’s unique capabilities without relying on any of them. It signals a return to the franchises’ origins while adding layers of new content and intricacy to the original Mario Party formula.

Super Mario Party is a good game when it all comes together – when you have friends to play with, when you’re all in the same room, when you’re playing the right modes, when fatigue hasn’t set in. But when these things aren’t there, it just can’t keep up, even with 80 mini-games. Super Mario Party is a solid foundation to build on, but without more, it’s not gonna make its way around the neighborhood. It’ll be part of the rotation, sure, but nobody will be surprised when everyone moves on.

All in all, thanks to its varied modes, the quality and quantity of its mini-games, and the experimental ideas that take advantage of the hardware's capabilities, Super Mario Party looks like the game the franchise needed to regain some of the freshness that has been lost over the years. It's a lot of fun to play with friends, and it'll even make big kids laugh until it hurts thanks to some crazy and comical mini-games. The king of the party is back, and his latest collection is indeed super.

Super Mario Party is just a very safe game. It brings back the classic Mario Party board game form, marrying it with some of the better ideas from Mario Party: Star Rush, but it’s light on the number of boards to play, lacks depth in other game modes, and misses opportunities for solo handheld and online multiplayer. It’s Mario Party, but it’s not particularly super.

The back to basics approach works great and the new boards and mini-games are all cleverly designed and fun. Very little downtime, accessible controls, and plenty of extra modes. The best Mario Party in a very long time, and while it’s shallow and silly it’s also one of the few times casual and core gamers can compete in perfect (dis)harmony.

It has its flaws - repeated minigames and missed opportunities with the much-touted multi-screen play being the key drawbacks - but they're not enough to really detract from the fun to be had. Get some friends over, hand them a Joy-Con each, and Super Mario Party will provide plenty of merriment for the evening. It's not going to blow you away, but it's a well put-together party game that deserves a look if you've got enough folks to enjoy it with.

Nintendo did make some questionable decisions in designing Super Mario Party, but none of these quibbles detract too much from the fact that the mini-games themselves are incredibly fun (and, yes, often funny) to play. Online features and new game modes help to round out a very weighty mini-game collection that could've been even better with just a little extra vision and effort on Nintendo's part. In a way, Super Mario Party is like comfort food on a cold rainy Friday; it may not be as exciting as going out to eat but it's sometimes just what you're really in the mood for.

Super Mario Party is an eclectic celebration of twenty years of star collecting and coin hoarding; bringing together the best bits into one show-stopping, mini-game cake. Paul Hollywood would grab a Joy-Con and give it a thoroughly good handshake.

There’s no weird, gimmicky movement that eschews strategy, and its minigames mostly make sensible use of the Joy-Con’s inputs and motion capabilities. Luck is always going to play a part in determining who wins a game of Mario Party, but I can’t be mad about that. Even if all of Super Mario Party‘s modes aren’t total knockouts, and even if it feels a little light on core content, it’s still a good way to kick back with three buddies on a Friday night.

It has not perfected the original formula, but it has moved closer to the classic fun that fans missed. Furthermore, it tries hard to move the series forward with a mix of old and new, fresh modes, and online play. Super Mario Party is the best Mario Party game in a long time, and series fans now have a great title on their hands as well as hope for the future.

So that’s why we went back to 1-2-Switch. Super Mario Party has far more mini-games – and ones of higher quality, too – but it’s too time-consuming and tedious to get into them. Couple that with Nintendo’s (usual) aggressive hand-holding and the party fizzled out fast. I imagine children would have a great time bouncing around the board, so keep that in mind if you’ve little ones.

Super Mario Party has successfully stripped back a lot of the bloat to return it back to the simple, fun and classic game that it was intended to be. At the same time, the game cleverly uses a number of key Nintendo Switch features making it a game that almost anybody could enjoy. Unfortunately, the weirdly implemented online and lack of boards are only thing stopping it from joining the most top tier of Switch titles.

While the game definitely has it's share of shortcomings, the quality of the good far outshines these issues and makes the game a must have for Mario fans. Despite the cost involved with needing to buy extra Joy-Cons, I can't recommend Super Mario Party highly enough to fans of the series and those looking for a great casual game to play with friends and family.

80 minijuegos variados, que sacan partido de las características de los Joy-Con y que, sobre todo, se insertan dentro de un amplio elenco de modalidades de juego. La incorporación de un novedoso sistema de dados, y la versatilidad de la plataforma para jugar tanto en modo portátil como sobremesa, hacen de este videojuego una apuesta "party" segura para aquellos que quieran disfrutar de diversión en compañía de amigos y familiares. Una superfiesta.

Super Mario Party es el juego de la serie que no te debes saltar, pues recupera todo lo que ha hecho divertida a esta propiedad intelectual y le suma muchas cosas que vale la pena probar. Además, las horas de diversión serán muchas y con las fiestas de fin de año a la vista, es un juego ideal poner en la cena de navidad con la familia o amigos.

Super Mario Party, gracias a sus 80 minijuegos no reciclados de entregas anteriores y las diferentes posibilidades para jugar en solitario, en multijugador local, en cooperativo o en multijugador online, se convierte en un excelente debut de esta franquicia en Nintendo Switch, que ya estaba bastante necesitada de un juego de género fiesta a la altura de las posibilidades de la consola.

Lo recomendamos ampliamente para todos aquellos que estén buscando un juego para disfrutar en cooperativo local. Si tienes 4 Joy-Con y sueles jugar con tu familia y amigos, Super Mario Party te entregará horas de diversión y te llevará de vuelta a sus entregas para Nintendo 64. Por otro lado, si lo tenías en la mira para jugarlo solo o con partidas online, creemos que hay mejores opciones para ti en el catálogo de Nintendo Switch.

Manca forse solo qualcosa che giustifichi più sessioni alle prese solo ed esclusivamente con i suoi tabelloni: Super Mario Party è un gioco che può essere inserito con gusto nella rotazione degli appassionati che si riuniscono in delle serate alle prese con i videogiochi. Stia alla larga chi cerca un'esperienza fondamentalmente single player.

Es un reto constante, un estímulo continuado en el que cada minijuego tiene que aprenderse de la nada con la mayor brevedad posible y cada modalidad –ya fuere con dados y tablero, con juegos al azar, remando o bailando- explota exactamente lo que debe. Pero, además, es un juego en el que todo –incluso la competición- sirve al mismo objetivo: acercar y hacer empatizar a quienes comparten un espacio y un tiempo. Que podrá parecer baladí, o poca cosa, pero no.

Super Mario Party supone el regreso al buen camino de una saga que llevaba dando palos de ciego desde hace demasiados años. Sus novedades jugables funcionan estupendamente, los tableros tienen un diseño realmente bueno, hay modos y opciones para todos los gustos, los minijuegos son muy divertidos y creativos, y, en general, hacía mucho tiempo que no nos lo pasábamos tan bien con un título de la serie.

Denn dabei handelt es sich nur um eine abgespeckte Version des bereits aus dem Offline-Modus bekannten Minispiel-Modus „Mariothon“, bei dem es immer wieder zu Lags kam. Für lockere Runden mit Freunden und besonders Kindern wird durch den Umfang zwar viel geboten, aber Nintendo hat die Chance verpasst, das Party-Erlebnis auf der Switch endlich wieder in gute Regionen zu hieven.

Série multijoueur emblématique des goûters où chacun amenait sa manette de N64 puis de GameCube, la saga Mario Party est tombée peu à peu dans l’oubli, délaissée par Nintendo durant l’ère Wii pour mettre en avant les Mii avant d’être achevée par le changement de développeur. Les épisodes 9 et 10, conçus par d’autres que le studio historique Hudson entre temps racheté, auront laissé un souvenir amer.

Si le mode classique se cantonne à reprendre l'ancienne recette agrémentée de quelques évolutions issues des précédents volets, histoire de caresser les vieux roublards dans le sens des poils de moustache, Super Mario Party parie davantage sur l'esprit d'équipe. En témoignent les parties en duo avec ces personnages aux caractéristiques plus marquées qui rendent les déplacements d'autant plus tactiques, les escapades en rafting exigeant un vrai travail de coordination.

Super Mario Party réussit parfaitement sa mission de divertir tous les profils de joueurs, que l’on soit expérimenté ou non.

Les Mario Party se suivent et reviennent aux fondamentaux. Super Mario Party sur Switch abandonne l’idée des véhicules étranges et fait s’affronter sur des plateaux remplis de pièges et de mini-jeux jusqu’à quatre joueurs, dans la joie et la bonne humeur. La détection des mouvements ainsi que les vibrations des Joy-Con sont particulièrement utilisées au fil des 80 nouveaux mini-jeux proposés, qui tombent parfois dans la redite, souvent dans le classique.

Super Mario Party tira partido da portabilidade da Nintendo Switch para juntar mais facilmente amigos e conhecidos em partidas muito próximas de conceitos clássicos dos jogos de tabuleiro. É divertido e oferece horas de conteúdo diferenciado, mas perde um pouco do encanto quando jogado a solo, mesmo quando abordado no online.

Super Mario Party é um bom jogo de festa, conseguindo ser divertido quando jogado com a mentalidade correcta, e com várias ideias bem executadas. No entanto, a variedade de experiências disponíveis mostra alguma falta de polimento em alguns modos e de conteúdo em outros, não sendo um título que se possa recomendar a toda a gente ou que vá revolucionar a série.

Con Super Mario Party forse Nintendo Switch ha ora davvero un titolo per tutte le tipologie di giocatori: dopo la recensione potremmo definirlo senza problemi il party game definitivo, adatto a tutti , divertente per adulti, bambini, anziani, forse anche per gli alieni. L'offerta di gioco è la più variegata e corposa che si possa pensare: tre modalità di gioco principali, tutte diverse, per un totale di 80 minigiochi.

Super Mario Party riesce a riportare la serie sulla retta via dopo qualche scivolone grazie ad un’offerta contenutistica ampia e ad una collezione di minigiochi tra le più divertenti di sempre. Peccato per la poca cura riposta nella realizzazione dei tabelloni della modalità party, che gli impedisce di classificarsi come il migliore esponente della serie.

Super Mario Party, бесспорно, хороша, но чем-то большим она стать так и не смогла. Режимы разнообразны, но число карт невелико. Классическая Mario Party вернулась, и она удобна как никогда, но лучшие карты все равно остались в эпохе GameCube. Наконец можно играть по Сети, но не в полноценные режимы, а в огрызок, лишенный азарта основного режима Mario Party.

Çoklu oyuncu kısmında ise ilk etapta çok eğlenceli gelen mini oyunlar, bir kez deneyimledikten sonra biraz amaçsız bir hale dönüşüyor. Sadece en sevdiğiniz kısımlara girmekle yetiniyorsunuz. Bu da oyunu kısa bir sürede sıradanlaşmaya itmiş. Kısacası arada bir oynadığınızda oldukça keyifli bir hale gelen oyun, böyle bir kalabalıkla oynama şansınız yoksa sizin için anlamsız bir hale de gelebiliyor.

Super Mario Party is terug! De leuke minigames, gecombineerd met de prachtige graphics zorgen ervoor dat dit misschien wel de leukste Mario Party ooit is. Voor de liefhebbers van de oude Mario Party games zijn er veel minigames en het oude vertrouwde manier van spelen. Toch heeft Nintendo een paar features toegevoegd die de game toch vernieuwd aan doen voelen.

Super Mario Party voor de Switch is een terugkeer naar de gloriedagen van de serie. Na een uitstapje op de 3DS, wat gemengde resultaten opleverde, is de game op de Switch één van de betere delen in de serie geworden. Het is wel jammer dat het spel geen ondersteuning biedt voor handheld minigames. Daardoor ben je toch genoodzaakt om in tabletop mode of op je televisie te spelen.
