A great Mario Party. Pretty straightforward.

It is just alright. Again, the dice blocks don't make you move far, the boards are uneventful and mini-games are mostly alright

The boards are still a bit too simple for my liking, and the minigames aren't as creative as previous entries for me, but still a good return to form!


Just a fun party game that I played more as a kid than anything pretty enjoyable.

One of the Worst mario party games

When it comes to sizzling steak, y'all are cooked

didnt have anyone to play with :(

couple cool joy-con mini-games other than that pure dog crap

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.

This one gets a bad rap, but for a simple party game, this was a popular go to for roommates and siblings for a long while - we'll still hop into this to play the rhythm games or the river raft teamwork game. The minigames themselves are pretty fun too, with all the different motion controls! Annoying that this game literally doesn't let you open it with more than one Joy-con, but that's as classic Nintendo as you can get. The boards themselves are definitely the weakest, but those other modes are a blast. And the random single multiplayer portion isn't bad either.

All in all, as a Mario Party game, come for the river rafting and rhythm games, stay for the mini-games, have fun with friends, and avoid the actual Mario Party game.

In retrospect, we'll go to this one for the other modes and Mario Party Superstars for the boards.

This is the only Mario Party that will let me main Bowser, so obviously it's the best one. I also prefer it to Superstars in terms of gameplay (with the caveat, of course, that I'm not a big console gamer in general, having grown up on MS-DOS and emulation, and struggle with the z-axis at the best of times). Using one Joy-Con is great and the vibration/tilt-control games are stupid fun. A thorough joy. And also - it bears repeating - I can main Bowser. What's not to love?

There's some promise in nearly all of the modes here, but none of them are executed perfectly, and all of them have too little content to be worth revisiting more than a few times.

One thing I'd definitely like to see revisited in the future is the character Dice Blocks; these feel like a much less invasive and more strategically interesting way to do character-based balancing than 7's unique blue orbs, especially since you can use allies for additional options.

sucks ass and literally no boards lmfao

Not my top Mario Party game but I thoroughly enjoyed this. It has its own charm. I especially loved challenge road and the partner party feature. 🙂

Tem que abolir controle de movimento dos jogos, não acrescenta em nada na experiência e dificulta a gameplay no emulador 😪.

Some of the most unique minigames that take full advantage of the controls

Many of these minigames have wibbly-wobbly controls, but it actual works in this one, and the ones that don't have everyone struggling with it, not just you

Characters have a unique system where they come with a personal dice, making a bit of extra strategy with who you pick. You can even get additional dice midgame to expand your choices, but can lead to just steamrolling/getting steamrolled from the armada that someone has on their team.

The biggest crux of this game is the maps, they are HORRENDOUS, arguably only 1 map is even remotely enjoyable. You are often screwed over by being stuck in RNG hell or begging the game to hand you a Golden Pipe so you can just get a star.

Great party game, definitely one to consider at the family cookout :)

Honestly really dig this one. Wish there was more maps and minigames but I love the partners you can get it, and it almost always makes for a fun party game.

Fun fact, this was the last videogame my grandpa gifted me before he passed away. So is kinda of a let down that this game ended up being mid. I mean still enjoyable but definetely on the weaker side of normal Mario Party.


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.
