Awful. What a waste of an interesting concept. The Top 100 shows that as much as Nintendo would like to claim otherwise, the board gameplay has always been the main focus of the franchise. What happens whn you take that away? A collection of minigames with no reason to play them except a bad minigame rush mode, something that had already been done well in Mario Party 2. Oh, and the minigame selection isn't even that good either, shitty ones like The Beat Goes On are more than accounted for here. Play Warioware Gold instead of this pathetic excuse for a game.
An idea I absolutely love but this wasn’t the way I wanted it done. The minigames themselves are well remade and it’s an overall decent selection from the series history but there is absolutely nothing tying them together that makes the process of playing them worthwhile. Minigame island is extremely dull and that’s really all there is. All I can say is if this idea sounds good please buy Superstars, that game is great and has a good selection of boards to tie the game together.
I like the concept of this game ---- I really do. It just goes about executing its idea in a strange way. Its biggest flaw is not offering memorable, traditional boards like past Mario Party titles, something that was definitely & welcomingly corrected with Superstars. Another strike against it though is being on 3DS, where I feel it's simply easier to get several folks to play MP together when it's on console.
Mario Party with only minigames is like icing without cake or toppings: it tastes great and it’s essential to a lot of great recipes, but by itself? It’s hardly nourishing and you get sick of it after a bit. That perfectly describes this game, nostalgia-baiting shovelware with a pathetic selection of modes. Everybody has fond memories of certain minigames, but they work mainly when they have something at stake, like coins in the board game or points in one of the competitive mini-game modes. Apparently Superstars renders this obsolete anyway, and has a better selection of mini-games, so there’s no point to this game anymore.
This game kind of stinks, but yet I have somewhat of a soft spot for it. I think it is ultimately disappointing due to only being minigames and one single mid board, but idk, I've had my fun with it. I don't really get the ire so many have for it, because this did exactly what it always set out to and said it would be. One hundred (mostly) popular and/or notable minigames. Granted that shouldn't be all it is, but it's not like they lied about that.
WOW I hate this game. NO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER! It picks a bunch of minigames with a lot of them sucking major ass, like who picked these games. The physics are all changed to island tour physics which is not a good thing let me tell you. Dinger Derby never felt the same after playing it on here let me tell ya. I can't think of 1 reason to play this because it could have had a real game with a few boards, but you can tell that this was a blatant cash grab and we all fell for it. This game is one of the worst Mario games in existence and a contender for the worst 3DS game. But it is absolutely the worst Mario Party game.
