Definitely getting into the era of 'another one of these?' The day/night cycle is a cool idea, and I like that some of the minigames change between day and night. The boards are generally pretty good, with a couple standouts. That said, the minigame selection feels limited in a way that earlier entries didn't, and most of the minigames don't vary between day and night. A version of this game where every minigame had a day version and night version would feel pretty expansive and could compensate for a smaller overall set, but as is, it doesn't quite land.
I can't call any MP game "bad", but this & MP5 don't do the best job at standing out from the rest when I think about them at length. Bear in mind, it's been a while since I've played them all, so me saying that may not even be worth much. But it's another perfectly serviceable Mario Party. Faire Square & Castaway Bay are particularly fun boards, minigames are good & the day/night cycle shook things up.
