It might even be a big cliché, but it's impossible not to use the term “love letter” when talking about Mario Party Superstars. The care NDcube is finally taking with the franchise is commendable, even though it took so long to do so. Every bit of the game comes together to make Mario Party Superstars a masterpiece that reminds us of why we fell so in love with a spin-off series of Nintendo's mustached mascot.

So go, good people of the Switch. Go enjoy Mario Party Superstars. It’s a brilliant entry point for those who didn’t play the old ones, and it’s a welcome revival to those who remember the classics fondly.

Mario Party Superstars brings back the best boards of the first games and the best mini-games of the franchise, updating them with all the mechanics we’ve come to know and love over the course of 23 years. Although it only has 5 boards and a lineup of 10 playable characters, it does a lot right on those boards and with those characters, so it’s hard to complain too much. It’s no cakewalk to rebalance old classics into something fresh and fun, but the team at Nintendo managed to do it. If you’re looking for the best party on the switch, be sure to grab Mario Party Superstars.

Mario Party Superstars is a great return to the past of Mario Party titles. Featuring some of the best of the previous games and adding a few new features to modernize, it’s worth picking up. It could do with some more content for staying power, but it’s certainly a good time.

If you’re a longtime Mario Party fan, you will love Mario Party Super Stars. If you’ve never played a Mario Party, there’s no better time than now to get into it. By yourself, on the couch, or online with friends or strangers, every way to play is a blast and then some. Some menu things are a bit annoying and I wish there was were a couple more characters or stages or mini-games to unlock. But in all, Mario Party is back, baby.

Nintendo parties along with Mario Party Superstars. The game features a whole heap of content from other Mario Party games to bring us 100 minigames across five cool boards. It's unfortunate that there are only five with so many boards to choose from. The same goes for the characters in the game. However there is enough, you simply miss a few. Still, if you are looking for a party, online or offline, this is the game to go for!

100 minigames and the five tables would have made a perfect addition to Super Mario Party as a DLC. Unfortunately, when you consider Mario Party Superstars on its own, it strikes me as too thin in content. Despite the excellent compilation of minigames, the rest doesn’t reach the Superstar status.In short, while I appreciate its nostalgic aspect, I would choose Super Mario Party before Mario Party Superstars.

Older players who may remember the original titles will get that nostalgic feel. And even non-gamers will find this easy to enjoy. Great family fun.

Mario Party Superstars is a love letter to the series' early beginning on the Nintendo 64. With improved game boards, a collection of 100 minigames, and a group of friends, this collection honours the Mario Party legacy.

Mario Party Superstars launches in a great way a concept that evokes strong feelings of nostalgia and which needed to be on the Nintendo Switch.

Looking back at it roots, Mario Party Superstars brings back some of the biggest joys from the Nineties. A wide selection of the best minigames and classic boards originally debuting on the Nintendo 64 surely will satisfy everbody's nostalgia. On the downside it feels like there's content lacking, since there are only five playable boards, no overarching story and nothing worthwile to unlock. As soon as the nostalgia wears off, this Mario Party almost feels... incomplete.
