its a solid remake of old mario party games. At times it feels like they removed some features that gave the original games their charm but its networking is phenomenal and makes it easy access to playing with friends around the world without too much issue. But I do with there was more that pushed it to a full Mario Party title.
Mario Party, in nearly any iteration, is just a lot of fun. Superstars is no exception, but there is one glaring issue–there isn’t nearly enough of it. There are just five boards and a hundred minigames with limits on how much you can alter in terms of game rules. Nintendo, you have a good thing, give me more of it. Most of the content here is envisioning older maps which should cut out the early stages of design work. These games sell gangbusters, just take a sliver of the profits and pump them into making these games bigger. Port the boards from Super, make more, I don’t have a strong feeling on what boards just more of them. It is a lot of fun but at some point you get tired of running circles on Peach’s Birthday Cake.
Is it bad of me to say the best Mario Party game every made was a this one? I mean apart from the polish and the updated roster and game mechanics it just boosts a compilation of great mini-games from the other games, and the sheer amount of them gives the game a huge plus. The maps are updated nicely and some of them I'd argue might even be better than the ones they originated from.
8.0/10
Board Rankings:
Horror Land- 9.1/10
Woody Woods- 8.6/10
Peach’s Birthday Cake- 8.3/10
Yoshi’s Tropical Island- 8.0/10
Space Land- 7.1/10
And with that I have finally rated the vast majority of the video games I have played in my life. I do have about like a dozen or so games I have played but am choosing not to rate or review yet because my goal is to replay those and have that done by the end of the year, so if that happens my total official number of games played would be like 142 I think.
