Super Mario's Disappointing Party.

Super Mario Party On Nintendo Switch isn't much of a party. Is the new Mario Party Bad or Good? Lacking in content, no online mode, sad unlockable single player mode. There is a lot to like about Super Mario Party, but more to dislike in this Nintendo Switch Game - Subscribe

[@ariusaneid1451]

I usually agree with you, but I think you're pretty off-base here. I think you expected something they never said it was going to be. It was never meant to be an ultimate Mario Party (just because Smash Bros is doing it, doesn't mean everything is going to be the "ultimate" version). I would agree that having more boards would be nice, but it isn't honestly that necessary. The boards they have ARE fun and it shouldn't be about the board so much as the interaction with friends and the mini games. The boards are simple but not without strategy, they're short so you bump into each other and beat each other to places faster... it works really nicely. Add in the fact that there are a number of other modes to play, and all of them are absolutely brilliant! Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention those and I'm not sure why you didn't at least touch on them a bit more (unless I missed it). The rhythm games are good fun, if not a bit silly, but a bunch of grown adults had a roaring time with them. The river mode is fantastic (though a bit repetitive in mini games, but that was okay because we all enjoyed the mini games in river mode so much), and the partner play is interesting and different. Not to mention the ally features (which come in handy in some mini games), the unique dice blocks, and really interesting, yet small, aspects to each map that are definitely laugh worthy. I almost feel like you are limiting yourself and getting hung up on the "Mario Party mode only has 3 boards" thing that you aren't allowing yourself to fully enjoy the game. That all being said, I think it's expected that there will be a major update (DLC) or two to this game, including more boards, mini games, and characters, similar to what Mario Aces got. Should more have been done off the bat? Maybe. But I think the EXCELLENT mini games, the great game modes, and the maps that in many people's opinions, including mine, work well to bunch the players up, made this game a great addition. I'll agree the online mode is pretty weak. But I don't care about that or have a use for it, so it doesn't bother me much.

[@darkmagician248]

THANK YOU!! I feel that he didn't talk about other innovative things this Mario Party brought to the series too...like river survival is a very unique mode and Partner Party is way more fun that I expected!! Ok we have only a few boards but I for sure think more will be added later

[@ariusaneid1451]

@@darkmagician248 yeah. I think he just got so caught up on that that it blinded him to the fun that is in the game. His complaints about the solo mode are valid, but I also don't think you should expect Mario Party to really be fun for less than 3 people (if not 4).

[@ariusaneid1451]

@@Red_AM Wood literally said he thought it was going to be the ultimate mario party... so you're 100% wrong there. My point about this review is valid. He didn't talk about half the game, and it's a half that makes the game, in my opinion, as good as any of the others. I just think he was so blinded by one or two aspects he thought was bad, he dismissed the entire other great half of the game. Oh, and I also don't need to call you names to make my point. :)

[@alrighttim5316]

Well said. I agreed that the boards could have been better but I'm also expecting updates. The 'bare bones' releases are becoming kind of a trend and the pattern is that more meat gets put on the bones over time so I'm really not worried on that front. Wood totally missed some talking points such as the allies and the amount of characters all with their own unique dice blocks. I was disappointed to hear him so fixated on what he didn't like and not enjoy the game for what it is. I was pleased with the release and I'm anticipating the updates because I think they will be good. I hope the main party mode will be available online at some point but like you, it really doesn't bother me not having that.

[@XdarkxmonkX]

Kinda wish they just remaster the mario part on the DS, absolutely loved that game growing up so I would have been more interested in buying the game if they just remastered it

[@leonpaelinck]

It is the best one but it wouldn't work on any other platform. The game uses almost always the dual screen in an interesting/useful way. Many mini-games use the touch screen. And DS download play is what makes it soooo convenient to play multiplayer. And that is just not possible anymore since games these days are way to large in size. I bought the game last year and I have no regrets! It aged really well.

[@tylerowens]

As someone who played Mario Party 1-6 almost religiously, I can say I love Super Mario Party. While the main Mario Party mode is a little lack luster, the other new modes are great. Partner Party is a fun twist on the gameplay (even if it does suck that you have to land directly on the star space). Toad's Rec Room has some great minigames beyond the normal 80. And River Survival is one of the best additions to Mario Party ever. It takes the idea behind the car but actually makes it great. And I love all the new playable characters and the character specific dice blocks and how they make playing different characters actually different beyond just the look. That's before we get to all the great attention to detail stuff (like how Monty Mole freaks out when playing the Whac-a-mole game). This is one of my top games of the year.

[@TheActs2021]

Hi, would you recommend Super Mario Party or Go Vacation for a good family game ?

[@Dramscus]

We were doing a 4 person group over the weekend and we had so much fun with the rafting mode. Its sort of similar to the fun had in something like overcooked where everyone's yelling directions at each other to paddle or stop paddling. So good.

[@tylerowens]

I've never played Go Vacation, so I can't speak to that, but my wife and I have played Super Mario Party with our 4 year old and while she is pretty terrible at the game, she had a ton of fun and has been constantly asking to play it since.

Fun fact: Monopoly was made by a feminist woman named Lizzy Magie - The point of the game? To show capitalism was bad and why socialism was more useful. Not communism, but I am sure at least one of you here thinks liberal = socialist = communist with no hint of irony. So, yes, the game you played as a child called Monopoly originally was a game made by a FEMINIST SOCIALIST WOMAAAAAN.

[@pickleadaykeepsthedoctoraw5542]

Also a man stole the monopoly idea from Lizzie, and Lizzie isn't credited by Hasbro as they hid any mention of her, claiming it was invented in 1935 by a man named Charles. LOL. #Gamersriseup

[@theterrorofdimensions1326]

Waluigi, as stated by even Nintendo itself, exists solely to give Wario a companion or to fill up rosters for Mario games, ever since his first ever appearance in the first edition of Mario Tennis. So yeah, they pretty much don't acknowledge him otherwise.

I’ll be completely shocked if they don’t release new boards (and maybe even characters or items) in a post update to keep interest going in the game. Heck, who knows, they may even enable the full game online. There can’t be many technical challenges preventing it. Nintendo’s been trying for a while to fix Mario Aces, and even put some effort into improving Arms.

[@Ray03595]

Those were both announced before the game was even released. Only time they've added on content to a Switch game without saying anything in advance is MK8D, and it was just a few cosmetics

[@Grumpyskater]

They will

[@quaide78]

This is Nintendo. They won’t do any of that.

[@SakuraAvalon]

Well, the theory I have is they're pulling a Splatoon(but probably not on the same scope). Release the game earlier, but unfinished. Then release the rest of the game over time as free DLC to keep the games community alive.(Of course, Splatoon then went beyonnd that and added A LOT more content after adding the content they held back) Nintendo can release games earlier, pleasing fans, the constant free DLC gives them good PR, and they can use the constant updates to keep people coming back to the game.

[@brettf3252]

Ray03595 The only “full price” Switch titles they have not supported post go-live were practically straight ports of Wii U games (DKC, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, etc.). I believe all other titles have had something added to them. For example, there is Luigi’s Balloon MiniGame in Mario Odyssey.

[@graywolf8017]

Being a huge Mario party fan. This game is great, the boards are slightly small, but they actually work much better than I though they would. The minigames are fantastic. I also don't really care about Online mode, because you can't deny that this game is infinitely more fun when playing with people in the same room.

[@Ray03595]

As usual, Nintendo fans say they don't care about the crappy online. Because they know it's crappy and there is no defense for it's crappyness, so best to just ignore its relevance.

[@Grumpyskater]

Totally agree with you there’s more to do here than just party mode, I love partner mode too! It’s fun!

[@Deleaubro]

I have friends that moved to other countries that I would love to play this game with. So while it's great that you don't have to worry about online because the friends you want to play with are close to you, it would have been nice to have the option to play with my friends that are too far away.

You know I have gone to appreciate this game. It’s definitely a step in the right direction. Super Mario Party is not perfect, and the only grip I have with it is for sure the boards. Other than that I hope the next Mario Party game will be a true successor to Mario Party 8 which was the last good Mario Party we got.

[@Mojo1356]

Same here. It’s a good game all things considered (the boards are at least decent, and Super had one of my favorite mini game collections), but it falls into the exact same trap that the Link’s Awakening remake fell into in the sense that no amount of polish for both games can justify the $60 price tag for how barebones both games are. Other than that, I don’t get the complaints, especially the online part. The joy of Mario Party comes from the chaos that ensures while playing in the same room. An online party mode would just take that chaos factor away if it isn’t with friends that have discord on standby, which wouldn’t even have the same feeling anyways. Also, I actually prefer Super to 8 for multiple reasons. Unpopular opinion: I’m actually not fond of 8’s boards other than Bowser’s orbital and Koopa’s Tycoon Town. King Boo’s haunted mansion has my vote for the worst board in the series. Also, I hate the mini game collection as a whole in 8. 8 was one of those games that fell victim to the early Wii era trap of forcing games to have motion controls for the sake of motion controls, and while some of them work like in kart wheeled and shooting games, it just sucks in more games than I care to count like Nick of Time and especially Rotation Station. Also, 8 has some of the most horrendous 1 v 3 balance in the series history (I’m not sure there’s a single game that is very fair for both sides. Chump rope has my vote for the most horrendous balance ever. As long as you spam the rope as the 1, you can’t possibly lose.). It also has a bunch of dud mini games with it without motion controls (rudder madness is the worst mini game ever made aside from the stick rotation games in 1). 8 might have the content, but too much of it falls flat to matter imho.

[@matthewcox6897]

I actually really like this game! Yes only having 4 boards sucks (hoping some dlc boards come our way) and not being able to play the boards online is the stupidist decision ever - but the cool new ally feature combined with the custom dice feature makes the game way more strategic and fun! The mini games are the best yet and the graphics are surprisingly good. If you've enjoyed mario party in the past or are looking for a solid 4 person game you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't at least try it out!

[@sundaydan1119]

I could see why one would argue either way for online: Im for it because it would be awesome for people who cant always get together Im against it because people will likely rage quit and ruin the experience for others

[@matthewcox6897]

A Random Dude on KZbin 100% agree - still it seems to be the current trend

[@TheActs2021]

How would you compare it to Go Vacation ?

[@matthewcox6897]

TheActs2021 the mini games tend to be a bit more challenging - overall Mario party is more geared towards adults and is more polished and competitive. Party has much better lad times and graphics and actual has a decent AI to play with if you’re friends and family aren’t available. In addition, the River Survival more in party is great for 4 person team work and the Partner Party mode lots you play 2v2 so a few more options there.To me Go Vacation isn’t a bad game, but definitely one you’d buy on sale - despite the low Board count I still think Super Mario Party is Worth $60.

Hi how are you

[@sam4gaming135]

Idea for potential DLC 4 new characters: Cappy 0,1,5,5,5,5 Nabbit -2,-3,5,7,8,9 Spike +1,-2,+3,-4,+5,10 Piranha plant 0,1,4,5,7,8 2 new game boards: A forest themed board who's design is very narrow and has many branching paths. It has Peatty Piranha roaming the stage and heads towards the player who was the last to land on a event space or until three turns are up. if he catches the player ( he also effects any other player in the path) they would get sent back to the middle (this could be beneficial if you are at the opposite side of the star). He also rolls the same dice as you do and also rolls for all the allies you have (1,2 dice). If you use a custom dice he rolls the standard die but still includes the allies. A ghost house themed board who's main gimmick is that it's split into a 4 x 4 grid (it has a 2×2 bit in the middle that doesn't move) and landing on an event space has king boo ( not the luigi's mansion one but just a large boo with a crown on ) and he switches 2 of grid spaces around or sometimes he will switch 2 rows around ( this would also change the paths around) (Also for partner party) the forest board still maze like but Peatty Piranha just roams the board. He moves around faster and steals some coins from the player instead of sending back to the middle. The ghost house is the same except the chance for the board to move around is determined if a player lands on a blank space (that is not in the middle of the board that doesn't move) and works the same for the hidden block. *And possibly ten or twenty new mini games

DLC shouldnt be seen as an excuse to have less content on the base game. We gave no idea if this game us getting DLC either.

[@Probably_JENOVA]

That’s stupid. Rather, why not make a game feel actually complete and not feel rushed and fall flat when compared to previous titles, only to have people say that you have nostalgia goggles on for pointing this issue out as a defense, then having to rely on DLC just to make it not feel like it was rushed? A future title for a series that’s supposed to trying out new content and/or saying that they’re going back to traditional routes should be an improvement over things that could’ve been potentially done in previous titles and expansive on content and the world of that franchise itself, not be a step back or a softie as if it’s afraid to go far. These games like Super Mario Party, Mario Tennis Aces, and Kirby Star Allies, and possibly more that I didn’t mention aren’t terrible, they just end up feeling mediocre and rushed for people who see this growing issue with some Nintendo games this year. Nintendo puts some of these games out a bit too early just to see how the majority of the public eye will eat it up and if a majority of people do eat it up, then they’ll pump out DLC. But if a majority of people see through their crap, then they’ll not bother to put much DLC and will just forget about it later on. And then most of the Nintendo community here or fanbase will go into an annoying constant bickering battle between defending it or hating it because so and so.

[@bruhhhsmm2615]

I'm so glad someone finally stops calling this game amazing because "it brought back the old system". Yes it brought back the old system...and I guess some invisible blocks too... and that's pretty much it. The measly 4 boards we get are so bland and lackluster and linear. The main thing I loved with the older MP's (1-8) was how the boards tended to have many paths. It made the boards feel very strategic and each board had a distinct character to it. In fact, all 4 of the boards in this mode are copied from other Mario parties: -The whomp board is a lamer concept of Horror Land from MP2. -The bob-omb board is a much smaller and luck based Waluigi Island from Mario party 3. -The fruit board is pretty much Yoshi's Tropical Island from MP1 (not fond of either) -Finally, the Kamek board is a boring version of Faire Square from MP6 and one of the best boards, Pagoda Peak from MP7. I am not gonna lie, I kinda like Partner Party. It has the same strategy based feel that the original mario parties had. In all honesty, I would not mind this being its own entire Mario Party (though many probably disagree). The main problem I have with it in this game is its simply just a lazy rehash of the same 4 boards we already had. I feel like it cheats us out of content that we rightfully should have deserved. The online is HORRIBLE. Like mentioned in the video, it is still just 10 minigames which makes it feel super lack-luster. It also uses peer to peer connection which causes EXTREME lag and I usually get disconnected because of it. I honestly don't get why we can't have all 80 minigames and ESPECIALLY why we can't have boards. Fortune street for the wii did this in 2011 and despite it being really hard to find a match with wait times being 30+ minutes, you would rarely experience people leaving since people sit down to play a long board. If people want to sit down and play a long game of mario party, why can't that same logic be applied? The thing that I personally enjoy most was the minigames. River survival was kinda meh but it was a cool idea just with too few minigames. Going to the full minigame collection, I feel like we have some of the best collection of minigames here. There are quite a few bad minigames *cough* Maths of Glory but 75% of the minigames I look forward to playing when I get them. Challenge road was fine but I feel like it was too easy (even a lot of the master challenges are relatively easy). To me, this game is not horrible. Its definitely WAY WAY better than MP10 and a bit better than MP9 but compared to MP1-8, it looks like a joke. It honestly feels like nintendo made something lackluster just for the sake people would buy it because of the new system. People need to get a slap of reality and get off the hype train and realize how much nintendo really failed to deliver.

[@SpankSandwitch99]

I wanted this game to be a resurgence of the good. Taking all the best of the previous games, and finally giving us a true sequel instead of what Mario party 6-onward were like. Maybe even incorporate the best games of the series like that failed Top 100 game. Instead, we got this game. A return to form, pretty looking, functional, good or even great attention to detail. But missing some creativity, and some... intensity? This is a fun game, but it doesn't have that Theme that 1-3 had, it doesn't have color and excitement of 4 and 5, and it feels a little soulless. Like looking at a sweet treat or candy but then finding out it tastes kinda subdued or a little flat.
