It made sense at the time of Super Mario Party's release to experiment with a single-Joy-Con game since the Switch was still such a new console and that was an important feature to highlight, but having a Mario Party with more traditional controller support is certainly welcomed at this point in the Switch's lifecycle, especially after the introduction of the Switch Lite in 2019. With Super Mario Party, using a singular Joy-Con turned sideways can be uncomfortable for some people, so having the option to use more "standard" controller support and this being a more "traditional" Mario Party game are major pluses for Mario Party Superstars.

One of the biggest and most important improvements from Super Mario Party is the ability to play handheld with the Joy-Cons attached to the Switch, plus being able to play in tabletop mode or on the TV using regular Joy-Cons or the Pro Controller. I lost because Bonus Stars were awarded to the CPU in one game and then won another game because I received multiple Bonus Stars. Even just one Bonus Star can be either a final saving grace for a player or the unfortunate downturn of somebody's hopes of winning, both of which happened in two of my games. The "Bonus Stars" are always an interesting option. Players can select a "pack" from the 100 minigames available for each board game, such as only having original N64 minigames, GameCube minigames or even separating by different types such as "Family," "Action" or "Skill." Of course, the options for random minigames to be chosen from all packs is available, but it's great for players who are nostalgic for certain minigames, especially the N64 minigames since that's where the boards are from.Ĭustomizable options are available before starting a game, including the option to use classic "Bonus Stars," turn on/off "Bonus Stars" and even giving a player Stars at the start of the game. Important aspects of the package are some of the customizable features, controller support and sheer number of minigames. There's never any glitching as things run smoothly as expected given Nintendo's brand. Seeing these N64 boards remade more than 20 years later and playable on a modern television or the vibrant Switch OLED screen is a pure joy. Nintendo's art style, polish and adorable charm continue to stand out and impress in the Switch era. However, the selection of boards and minigames are smart and so much fun that this is of course a great package for gamers who didn't grow up with them and want to experience the origins of what made Mario Party so entertaining from its inception. This is an amazing nostalgic trip for gamers who grew up playing Mario Party 1, 2 or 3 on Nintendo 64. It's exciting to have another installment of Mario Party on Switch, especially because Mario Party Superstars is a compilation of boards from Mario Party 1-3, including an extraordinary 100 minigames from throughout the Mario Party series. It's always great to see Nintendo continue to feature some of its most popular multiplayer games, especially as fans continue to hold out hope for games like Mario Kart 9. It's been three years since Super Mario Party released, which truly puts today's gaming landscape into perspective since the first three Mario Party games released in three consecutive years from 1998-2000 on Nintendo 64.
Mario Party Superstars is an excellent and welcomed addition to the Nintendo Switch library.
