What Mario Party: The Top 100 should have been

Mario Party: Superstars is what Mario Party: The Top 100 should have been. It had 100 minigames spanning the 10 mainline games, and every game like it belongs. It's fun to say "I remember this minigame," and it's just as fun to say "Oh, I almost forgot about that minigame." All 6 boards span across the 3 Nintendo 64 Mario Party games. Sometimes it can be a jarring difference to go from a Mario Party 1 board to a Mario Party 2 board to a Mario Party 3 board, but Mario Party: Superstars somehow makes it work. This game really rides on the nostalgia. The opening sequence and the hub world menu points back to the opening and hub world of the first Mario Party. Since it's kind of hard to make a story mode out a compilation game, Mario Party: Superstars gives single player achievements to do. Some require achieving specific goals in specific boards, other require gamers to reach a huge accomplishment within a single party, yet other require the player to rack up a career high over several playthroughs. It provides its own fun to see if you get the achievement over winning the party, and it's even more fun to see if you can get the achievement, and then come back from behind to become the superstar. My biggest complaint is the lack of motion control games. When Mario Party introduced motion control minigames in Mario Party 8, I never felt like the motions controls were forced. They could have worked in Mario Party: Super Stars. Just like with Super Mario Party, a grand total of 6 boards feels underwhelming for a greatest hits Mario Party game. I would have like to see 9 boards: 3 from each of the Nintendo 64 Mario Party games. Overall, this may be my favorite Mario Party because it just may be the best Mario Party game.
Also, fun fact: your cat may be interested in the vine swinging minigame!

This is the game we play the most! Even when we go to family member’s house’s they ask to play as well. This is an absolute must buy if you get a switch!

This is the best game you could purchase and play on family game night. Even if you just want to relax and enjoy a relaxing game. Mario party has been so far the best game that calms down my anxiety.

Really fun game for the kids. Fun for adults as well but very simple game play. Definitely a good party game able to play up to 8 players. BYO-joycons :)
