Each character's specific Dice Blocks add a layer of depth and decision-making to the gameplay, encouraging players to take risks and strategize to gain the upper hand.

The game's accessibility is one of its strongest points, allowing players to dive into any Minigame from a simple menu or explore the 3D world with friends before selecting a mode. Features like sticker mode, NPC characters, and Minigames designed with screen-capturing in mind demonstrate Nintendo's commitment to creating a social and shareable experience. Super Mario Party is a game that truly shines when played with others, embodying the spirit of competition and camaraderie. It's a game that can bring families and friends together for a night of fun, laughter, and the occasional competitive rivalry.

It's a game that promises fun for players of all ages and is a testament to Nintendo's ability to continually reinvent its classic franchises for modern audiences. If you're looking for a game that offers both nostalgia and novelty, Super Mario Party is the perfect choice.

When I got it, I didn't think it will have so many game modes or mini games. It is great for almost all ages. I have 12 year old and 9 year old boys and they both love playing it. I have to be honest I have joined them as well quite a few times. It has few main game modes and loads of mini games and there are so many different ways to play them all! My favourite game mode is the one that looks like board game with mini games mixed in or just random mini games. I swear there are still mini games I haven't played. Easy to play and loads of fun! Great game and would highly recommend.

Reading or viewing any reviews where they claim to know their stuff and compare with a heavy bias towards a prior version of this game will keep you on the fence. So many so called pro reviewers let them selves down by simply not being able to judge a game on its own merits and not pitted against another. Move on and get over it, this game is absolutely outstanding in everyway, I am so please I watched, read and then discarded numerous pointless opinions that where there purely for the pursuit of profit and not solid impartial reviewing. Game arrived today and spent a solid 8 hrs with my kids all ranging from 3 to 18 and not one of us had played a previous version but have been absolutely loving this release. Sometimes not knowing is a blessing. This game has so much to offer and the ability to play minigames without playing another main paths is such a plus but that does not mean in anyway the boardgame, rapids or any of the others are not a laugh worth having with your family or friends. If you love Nintendo/Mario games then I have no doubt you will enjoy this one, I’m 42 so been there with Nintendo from the start and yes there have been some hits and some misses but this game is worth your time!

It's worth noting that this is the first Mario party game I have owned, so from that perspective, here are my thoughts. I was apprehensive at first as there are only 4 boards and you have to unlock one of them, but this wasn't a big deal as the extra modes were where I spent most of my time and playing on the other boards unlocked the fourth one naturally. The main party mode is excellent with the dice block mechanic adding a nice amount of strategy to the chaos. Items, board elements and star placement keep the game interesting throughout the 60 minute duration for 10 turns - I would recommend sticking to 10 turns as any more than that would get a bit boring for most people. River survival is a great break from the competition as it's a cooperative mode, the river itself has a lot of variety in its layout and although there are only 10 minigames, they only repeat near the end and only if you make it that far - It doesn't get too repetitive unless you play it multiple times in a row. Soundstage is a very funny mode akin to guitar hero or rhythm paradise, the motion controls are accurate and almost make you dance to the music! I would recommend trying a remix for a good challenge (or added hilarity). This only has 10 minigames too, but they are mixed up by changing the speed, which makes a big difference in a rhythm game. Partner party is a great twist on the board game format with teams of two people who can plan their moves at the same time. It's a great way to mix up the gameplay, though the random elements can interfere a bit too much at times. In my experience, it gave everyone a chance to make a comeback, and seeing the player in the lead getting overtaken was often amusing. There are some other modes too, Toad's rec room includes some crazy dual-switch games that are incredible tech demos. Unfortunately I couldn't use this as I don't have access to another switch or another copy of the game. The real star of this game though are the minigames, they are very varied and make full use of the joycon controllers with motion, hd rumble, button control and controller orientation creating a lot of unique situations. Unfortunately, pro controllers and handheld mode are not supported for this reason; this is a TV and tabletop mode game only. Mariothon and square off let you play through sets of minigames if you want to get straight into the action without a board, they're great for quick games too. There is also a mode to play any minigames you want, which is a nice addition. I did not try online or solo, though I cannot imagine it being nearly as fun as local play - I can confidently say that this is not a game to buy if you don't want to play locally with friends. In conclusion, this is easily one of the best party games on switch, up there with smash, ultimate chicken horse and overcooked 2. The sheer variety of game modes and minigames makes this fun for a good few hours on each game night and by the time we bring it out again a week or two later, the minigames are fresh again. Highly recommended.

Great games

I was a bit disappointed that this game only works with joy-con. However, the mini-games are great fun to play.

My husband and I could spend hours playing this game. We love all of the Mario Party variations and have absolutely gotten our moneys worth from this game. It is fun but also diverse as you can play multiplayer or single player and play locally or online. We’ve had this game since its release and have had no issues technological or otherwise. It has held up really well and we still play it often!

Excellent quality and interesting game

malgré le fait que ce soit une version importée et donc la jaquette en anglais, le contenu est bel et bien français. ce jeu est très amusant et familiale il y a pleins de mini jeu la durée de vie d'une partie n'est pas trop courte (on peut même sélectionner une durée)
