Maybe it's just nostalgia clouding my memory of this one (it was my very first Mario Party game after all) but I think Island Tour is pretty underrated all things considered. The minigames were a ton of fun and used the system's capabilities in a bunch of cool ways, the boards were really creative concept-wise (execution-wise....eh, not so much) and Bowser Tower was a really good side-mode that kept me coming back over and over again.

Overall, Mario Party Island Tour is pretty much the video game equivalent of a drive-thru meal: hollow when consumed anywhere but on-the-go, but a nice time within that context.

I don't have any friends to play with

Even as a kid, this game was the epitome of nothingness to me.

idk why people hate this one it’s not too shabby. far from perfect but i like a lot of the minigames and a few of the boards are cool


Honestly I don't remember much about this game only that it was really bad and I returned it after like 2 or 3 boards.

Mid. The game basically just boils down to race to the finish in terms of the party mode. The minigame selection isn't too bad though, and Bowsers Tower was pretty fun. I like the setting of the game as well. This is also the only Mario game I know of where Bowser actually wins at the end.

The worst part of Island Tour is the actual boards themselves. The fact the boards are straight lines defeats the purpose of the game. As well as the fact that the mini-games are too generous by rewarding everyone except for the 4th place player. On one of the boards, it doesn't matter who gets to the end first since it will bring the 4th place player to the front of the back for free.

The mini-games are probably the best part of the entire game. I love playing the mini-games without the boards and a lot of them I consider to be the best in the series. If the boards were normal, then it would be a good game.

What an unbelievably "nothing" game. It's not broken, it functions, it's playable, but that's literally all I can say about it. I almost wish it was genuinely abysmal, but no, it's just dull and boring. Not surprisingly, this was one of the games I sold without a second thought when I got the chance, and I've never missed it

for what it's worth, island tour is a standard, no-frills addition to the flatlining franchise that is mario party. unfortunately that is also why it's kinda mid

i remember there being a rocket level

Such a nothing game. The minigames are fine, that's it. But every Party has good minigames so whatever, and the main modes are so dull...

Felt like a wii mario party to go.

I played the hell out of this for some reason. I would just sit and play every minigame. So in that case I'm bias. I know this game has problems I just remember it fondly

I don't remember anything that happened in this game

Worse Mario Party game, barely any content. The Choicest Voice minigame is the best part.

So uh... there's no drama in this island isn't it? Bosses are let down too, very weak Mario Party.

Quando eu era pequeno eu me divertia jogando isso, mas agora que eu fui ver como realmente é o jogo eu não sei como eu fiquei tanto tempo no jogo. Bem chato e repetitivo e os mapas também não são nada de mais, a maioria é em linha reta e sem muito o que fazer.

I used to play this with my friends on the school bus, but it gets boring after a while.


I reminisce for the days of the 3DS

Better than the car games but it's no replacement for a real, proper Mario Party

The the third portable Mario Party is certainly an odd one to say the least

Boss fights were so much fun and it's style of the party mode was splendid imo. The only 3DS Mario Party game I played and it was great.
