Mario Party Superstars

SCORE: 80

Were you able to check out the live stream where Noah, Peter and myself played Mario Party Superstars on the Nintendo Switch? If you missed it then you can check it out in the video section of the Family Friendly Gaming website. We ran into some problems and some issues while playing Mario Party Superstars. We also had some fun playing this game.

Mario Party Superstars gives families all kinds of choices in terms how to play Mario Party Superstars. There are mini games from the previous Mario Party games. That is a mixed bag. There were some good mini games in the past Mario Party games and there were some bad ones. Mario Party Superstars asks for your favorite Mario Party and mini games. There are one hundred classic mini games in Mario Party Superstars given a modern twist.

Do you know what else got a modern twist in Mario Party Superstars? The boards. Families are able to pick the boards from the past Mario Party video games. This is neat as long as you know what was going on with those boards. If not then you will need to learn the boards. If you pay Nintendo a yearly fee then you can play Mario Party Superstars online with others.

Thankfully Mario Party Superstars can be played locally and/or against computer controlled characters. There is some cartoon violence in Mario Party Superstars as players can be knocked around in a variety of ways in these mini games. Mario Party Superstars shows the lack of balance in some of the mini games. Especially in the one versus three mini games. I also noticed certain control schemes did not work right.

Families can get all kinds of replay value from and out of Mario Party Superstars. Families can also spend time together thanks to Mario Party Superstars. All in all I really like Mario Party Superstars. One bad game play experience where bonus stars were lame, and there were some control issues is not enough to dissuade me. We played Mario Party Superstars after that live stream and had more fun. I hope to see more games like Mario Party Superstars in the future.
