90% of the minigames are fun. Playing this with a friend is the stuff of legend, there's just the right amount of bullsh*t to mess with the players, but without making all skill worthless: a good player will be advantaged, but his win is far from a given, which is great.
Only real gripes I have with the game are the following : the main menu is a bit slow to get to mount minigames. If I want to get to mount minigames, I just want to quickly play through some minigames, so why put in all these animations of the characters getting in a boat, the character arriving at mount minigames, then toad talking etc... It's a bit non-sensical as mount minigames should be about efficiency. More importantly, the board selection isn't the greatest, it isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either. No boards here really sticks out to me as being amazing, but they're all at least decent (I like Peach's birthday Cake even though I know I shouldn't as it's barely more than a circle). If your hesitant about buying this one, go for it. It's a great game to play with friends, or even online or against CPUs.
