Mario Party Superstars[a] is a 2021 party video game developed by NDcube and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the twelfth home console installment in the Mario Party series, and the second for the Nintendo Switch following Super Mario Party (2018). It was released on October 29, 2021.[1]

The game features five remade boards from the original Nintendo 64 trilogy of games and a total of 100 mini-games curated from previous entries in the series,[2] similar to the Nintendo 3DS title Mario Party: The Top 100 (2017). Unlike Super Mario Party, Superstars can be played with button controls.[3] Upon release, Mario Party Superstars received mostly positive reviews from critics.

Release

Nintendo revealed the game on the Nintendo Direct at E3 2021 on June 15.[4] The presentation revealed and featured remakes of the boards "Peach's Birthday Cake" from Mario Party and "Space Land" from Mario Party 2.[5] Polygon's Ryan Gilliam noted that the boards included events not seen in the original versions; moreover, he commented that the game borrowed assets — such as the user interface — from its predecessor Super Mario Party.[6] The presentation also confirmed that Birdo will return as a playable character for the first time since Mario Party 9 (2012). The third game board announced was "Woody Woods" from Mario Party 3, which was revealed on the game's official website.[7] During a Nintendo Direct broadcast on September 23, the final two boards were revealed, being "Yoshi's Tropical Island" from Mario Party and "Horror Land" from Mario Party 2.[8]

A few minigames from the original Mario Party which required players to rotate the analog stick as fast as they can make a return in Superstars; these minigames feature a warning not to rotate the analog stick with the palm of the hand. This was due to incidents where players sustained hand injuries from using the analog stick in this way.[9]

Reception

Mario Party Superstars has an average score of 79/100 based on 85 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[17]

Mitchell Saltzman of IGN gave a favorable review, stating: "Mario Party Superstars is an amalgamation of some of the best boards, minigames, mechanics, and quality of life improvements from the whole series, resulting in the best Mario Party has been in a very long time."[18]

It sold 163,256 physical copies within its first week of release in Japan, making it the bestselling retail game of the week in the country.[19]
