As you make your way towards spots to purchase stars, the currency of winners in Mario Party, you thankfully end each turn with a minigame. (There’s an option to play with computer-controlled opponents, but I don’t recommend playing by yourself.) The main Mario Party mode has one to four players rolling dice and moving around four board game-like levels with branching paths. There’s a lot of filler there, too – I would have preferred more focus on the core modes – but there’s enough here to support up to four partiers having a lot of good fun. There are a few interesting ideas that feel a little bit underdeveloped, but on the whole Super Mario Party is a true return to form.Party ModeSuper Mario Party is a collection of hit-or-miss virtual board games, broken up by competitive minigames – a few of which are worth your time. This isn’t a cash-grab with Mario’s face on the front this is a well-constructed and beautifully realised Mario Party game which takes the series right back to its roots, but without being a straightforward rehash. It would have been nice to see another board or two, but the assortment of other fully-fledged modes helps to mitigate that feeling.
The return of the classic style is a welcome one, and the plethora of different minigames hit the mark more often than not. Mario Party has seen its fair share of good and bad over the years, but Super Mario Party swings the pendulum back in the right direction.
