![]() Players will also get a Party Pad for instant navigation around the plaza, which relies on Toad’s upgrades to purchase in-game advice, music and collectible stickers with Party Points, rewarded to players on completion of minigames or modes. It’s a shame that Toad and Toadette have been relegated to Party Hosts, since we’d love to see them as playable characters in the game. Talking to Toad at the entrance to the Plaza means you can swap out your character, your team and the CPU’s difficulty without hassle. There are 16 playable characters available from the onset, including newcomers Monty Mole and Goomba, with four unlockable characters (Dry Bones, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Pom Pom) able to be recruited into your team when they appear in the plaza following several hours of gameplay. With the exception of Challenge Road, unlocked after all previously locked minigames have been completed once, each mode can be played as soon as you enter the Party Plaza. Coupled with the sheer amount of content on offer, the Joy-Cons unique HD rumble features and smooth motion controls, Super Mario Party feels at home on the Switch.Īlmost all eight modes are available from the beginning in Super Mario Party. Tabletop mode also gets its time to shine with two Switch consoles in Toad’s Rec Room, while Challenge Road kicks up a single-player storm as you progress through the title’s 80 minigames. Easily play as a two-player team in Partner Party with two Joy-Cons for double the fun, or go for gold in a four-player showdown in classic Mario Party mode with up to four Joy-Cons. The versatility of the Nintendo Switch is perhaps what makes Super Mario Party the best in the series for years. Taking the series back to its roots in the eleventh instalment, Nd Cube show us that there “ain’t no party like a Super Mario Party”. Super Mario Party changes the sour flow into something much sweeter. It’s difficult to say when Mario Party turned sour each have taken unnecessary risks at times, while other modes have stayed stagnant and cumbersome. And the less said about Mario Party: Island Tour (2013), the better. Mario Party: Star Rush (2016) for the 3DS had its fair share of party-popping moments, but ultimately was let down by its erroneous game modes. Between last year’s Mario Party: The Top 100 on the 3DS, which was in desperate need of a handheld overhaul, and Mario Party 10 (2015) on the Wii U which crammed everyone into a car again (sigh), fans have had a tough time spicing up their party with little more than a side-slung hat and blowpipes. The Mario Party series has had a disappointing run over the past few years from developers Nd Cube. This is the Mario Party we’ve been waiting for. Swap your salty tears for some sparkling stars and get your wiggle on to rhythmic beats when Mario takes it up a notch with eight highly entertaining game modes and 80 all-new minigames. With four friends, it’s four times the fun in the back-to-basics Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch. ![]()
