![]() Super Mario Party introduces a few twists to the familiar formula too, with multiple modes besides its classic board game. Some may see that as a positive, I see it as otherwise. There's a small boost in the Ally System, where a character can join you, netting an extra dice roll and a new special dice too otherwise, the shock and awe of the board game is gone. While the minigames retain their charm and fun, the board game elements feel pared down, where even the bonus stars at the end awarded for miscellaneous criteria are minimized to two awards that don't monumentally change the tides of who wins and who loses. Stealing stars, too, feels not as common as past entries. Super Mario Party makes stars too affordable, where when you pass by Toadette who's holding onto it, chances are you can buy it and not hang your head in shame. Everyone is flush with stars in perpetuity. In the fourth map, the cost of the star rotates randomly by a lottery ball in the center, but the catch is that there are more stars up for sale and Toadette doesn't move at all, making for an endless circle with two particular routes to reach it every time. For instance, in Super Mario Party, on three of its four board game maps (two less than the usual standard of six boards), stars only cost 10 coins to buy contrary to costing 20 coins from past games. In Super Mario Party, that's still true, but there's some notable changes that make the outcome less interesting. In past games, the traditional board game mode was structured by random acts surprising players, and by the end, the person with the most stars came out on top. But the seams of Super Mario Party seemed to unravel the more matches we played. We had a good time, I won't dispute that. A Splash Mountain photo, by way of River Survival. The way it's intended to be played, probably. Then I played it with a full squad four friends just sitting on a couch, eating chips and dip while playing Mario Party and greasing up the Joy-Cons. (Robo-Peach and Robo-Rosalina were better than me, but not my partner). ![]() I also played with just my partner, with two computer-controlled characters joining us. I played it solo, with only computers backing me-which felt as if I booked a karaoke room for all my friends, and no one showed up so I was left with just me and my queue of old Good Charlotte songs. I played Super Mario Party multiple ways over the past week. In Super Mario Party that returns, but it dials back the expletive-encouraging randomness considerably. The star stealing, the backstabbing, the teamwork, the fact that skill has nothing to do with whether you win or not. I've always measured Mario Party games by the tension it brings.
