We knew this was an option and at first assumed it was a single option of either resuming an old party or starting afresh and forgetting that game in Space Land where you rolled a five when you’d just used a Triple Dice item ever happened. One thing we could’ve done, but didn’t do because reviewing games requires you to not overlook something just because it’s boring, is quit and come back to that particular game later. There is a secondary loop that takes you to a more dangerous area with Bowser in it, and going this way will allow you to loop round more quickly to potentially grab another Star, but our time with it was actively dull, and we just wish we’d played another board. In essence it’s a loop with an unmovable Star, so you’re doing nothing but trying to roll high enough to get around the board as quickly as possible. Peach’s Birthday Cake on the other hand is a truly bizarre inclusion. It has a few branching paths and the Star can be in one of two places, but it’s a bit simplistic in truth. During said tumbling you’ll need to choose a character for each of the four players, with CPUs filling any slots not occupied by the meat machines you’ve selected to end your friendships with. Tumble down a surprisingly long pipe in a clear nod to the original game that got the whole party started until you reach the board below. There are a few different ways you can delve into these with challenges and various themed ways to see who's the best, but they're all much for much.īut as the old saying goes, the real meat can be found in 'Mario Party', a mode which lets you play Mario Party in Mario Party Superstars. This time around it’s a pretty basic no-frills affair. This has always (aside from Mario Party: the Top 100) been the secondary focus of any game in the series - a means to have a quick dip in a specific minigame or just to have something to do with friends, and sometimes even a way for solo players to fun in a fashion that isn’t just replacing your friends with cold-hearted CPUs. The latter is a method of simply playing any and all of the minigames on offer in one way or another with nothing more than a score counter keeping track of who won how many games. You’ve got two major modes to contend with if the idea of the options menu doesn’t get your motor running, namely Mario Party (!) and Mount Minigames. The whole game from top to bottom is 100% old-school with all the warts included, besides the visuals of course. In that spirit, Mario Party Superstars seems to be Nintendo at last saying ‘fine, here’s your stinking old Mario Party’. Super Mario Party definitely took that feedback to heart, but only a handful of playable boards and limitations in other areas definitely left some die-hard classic fans wanting. For years now fans of the Mario Party series have been pleading with Nintendo to just go back to the roots of what made the series great no cars, no bizarre new modes, not just a collection of minigames that when presented in a vacuum lose all context or purpose - just Mario characters running around a board grabbing stars and destroying friendships.
