Amazing multiplayer experience but not as good single player.

Didn't play much of it because the boards are honestly kinda boring
Most of the minigames are pretty decent and I loved the little 'high five' sequences but that doesn't save the game for me

Come on, this game was gas. Getting all of the gems was fun as hell and actually challenging. Game was just a banger.

This game is so perfectly in the middle. Boards suck ass and there are so few of them. There are so many playable characters, with some of those actually having their first playable outing here. It sucks that Blooper did not make it. The character specific dice are so cool, but completely unbalanced and they actively punish you for playing as some of the newcomers like Monty Mole and Goomba. Idk man the minigames are mostly okay, but there is not much here if I am being honest.

Good mini games TERRIBLE boards.


the cast of characters is the best part of this game like why did they put playable pom pom in such an underwhelming title

You know what, I'm a Super Mario Party apologist and I'm not ashamed of it. I think criticisms of its lack of boards fail to consider the rest of its offerings that are quality, if a little unsubstantial. It tries to innovate the series and polishes everything to a beautiful shine. Seriously the leap in presentation from 10 to this is underappreciated. The game is gorgeous. And I would play it more if I wasn't so chronically alone

Fuck it i thought it was fun. Motion control can be fun if you don't have a worm in your ear telling you that thats the reason you suck at the game

a great selection of minigames (I really like motion controls) but a somewhat lackluster roster of boards (some of these really don't have much going on) would've made this a really meh entry, but I like some of this game's ideas, even if I would've liked to see them expanded upon : character specific dices is a cool concept but makes the whole thing pretty unbalanced, a coop game mode I love in concept but the execution here makes it not that interesting and the visual flare of it isn't anything groundbreaking (though I really like the soundtrack for some reason??)

A Mario Party game with no items, terrible boards, only 4 boards, terrible pacing, awful comeback mechanics, and a character tier list for some reason.
Glad to have classic party back, but man this was such a miss.

Not the best Mario Party, but a good time with friends.

I'm never really in the mood for this game and it's pretty slow to play but by nature of being a multiplayer game, your interactions with others will still end up making it enjoyable.

It's a decent enough return to form, but not much more than that. There are only 4 boards and none of them are particularly good. Plus, a lot of the new mechanics are neat, but they're really unbalanced and lead to games taking way longer than needed. IMO, they should've focused more on improving the core gameplay instead of the side modes people will play once and never touch again. Also, online Mario Party is cool, but it should've been in the game at launch rather than an unceremonious update 2 years later. On the bright side, this might be my favorite collection of minigames in the series. I don't think there's a single bad one here.
