Gameplay

See also: Gameplay in Mario Party

The traditional gameplay of the older Mario Party games returns in Super Mario Party. The standard game mode, Party Mode, features up to four players taking turns and navigating the board in search of stars while competing against one another in a variety of minigames. A second mode, known as Partner Party, has two teams of two players also searching for stars on a free-movement board similar to those in Mario Party: Star Rush.[1] The game can be played with only one Joy-Con controller per player, allowing two players to play together with only one Switch system, which comes with two Joy-Con. Super Mario Party will also take advantage of the Switch's local wireless capabilities, allowing teams to play from separate Switch consoles and allowing multiple Switch consoles to be arranged and synchronized to create larger, multi-monitor environments[2][3][4] in a mode called "Toad's Rec Room"[1] (as patented prior to the game's reveal[5]).

Some of the minigames will be played using traditional button controls, while others may be controlled by motion controls, such as a tricycle race minigame.[6]

Toad returns as Super Mario Party's host, directing the players throughout the game.

Online play

Super Mario Party features online multiplayer for the first time in the Mario Party series. While Party Mode's board games are restricted to offline play, players will be able to play the game's 80 minigames with other players either locally or online independent of the board games in the game's "Online Mario-thon" mode. In the Online Mario-thon mode, players compete in five randomly-selected minigames aiming to get the highest score. It will also feature leader boards and a ranking system, as well as currently-unknown rewards that players will get for playing the mode.[1][7]

Some sources criticized the game's lack of an online party mode.[7]

Playable characters

The roster of playable characters in Super Mario Party includes Mario, Luigi, Rosalina, Dry Bones,[4] Boo, Koopa Troopa, Hammer Bro, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Shy Guy, Bowser, Wario, and Waluigi, all of whom are returning characters. New playable characters to the series include Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong, who had only previously appeared as a playable character in handheld Mario Party games; and Pom Pom, a Goomba[4] and a Monty Mole, none of whom has previously been a playable character in Mario Party.[8]

Development

Super Mario Party is being developed by Nd Cube.[9] Nintendo revealed Super Mario Party on 12 June 2018 during their Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018 Nintendo Direct presentation,[10] where they also announced that the game would release on 5 October 2018 for the Nintendo Switch.[11]
