I came here to chew bubble gum and play video games, and I got some bubblegum right here. You are most likely to find Smash Brothers and Mario Kart here.
I played this for a little while with friends and family - it was fun and deserving of 3 stars for continuing the series' enjoyable, frantic variety of minigames. But it seemed very light on content, it was only 4 boards if I remember correctly.
Comparing it to other mario parties is it's downfall. My kids had a blast playing this one, and it was always a fun time together. If 3.5 stars was an option, I'd pick it, but I'll round up.
Not great, not terrible. At best, it's "good", and that's generous. To be honest, I sold mine because I knew once we got Superstars, we'd never go back to the joycon-only style of gameplay.
I honestly enjoy the little gimicks, but the game itself is... not great fun, honestly. It's okay once in a while, but I can't bring myself to play it too often because it gets boring very fast. The maps don't feel great, and the minigames are just alright. Custom dice blocks were a neat feature, but as you'd expect with a ton of characters, some of them are just objectively bad.
I love the Mario Party games. This one unfortunately fell flat. It might be fun with younger kids but it was not a hit around here. Too many little gimmicks like high fives.
Gave it a 5 strictly because I could play with Shy Guy. Also, guessing that Mamba was right as the high 5's thing is a little gimmicky but having kids, watching them with that was a lot of fun. This game was played a lot during down time during pandemic & my favorite of the two Mario Party games on Switch (that I've played, I don't think there's a 3rd).
