Mario Party: The Top 100 Reviews
We finally received a compilation of the best minigames in Mario Party history. While the game itself suffers the lack of other content, each minigame is as great as you remember and the Download Play function makes it a great option for multiplayer experiences.

The bottom line is that Mario Party The Top 100 is a good mini-game collection that you can play through the download play feature with up to three friends but the glory days of the N64/Gamecube era are not reached with that title because of the lack of a prober party mode.

Although Mario Party: The Top 100 contains an impressive amount of mini-games that are still super-fun to play, the modes to enjoy the mini-games within are unfortunately lacking.
Mario Party: The Top 100 is an awesome opportunity for new players to know the past of this series, even when the lack of the board game shows strong differences in playability.

Mario Party: The Top 100 is a nice mini-game collection, which quickly runs out of steam despite the large selection.

Although it has Mario Party in the title, Top 100 is lacking in the more complex and competitive nature that fans of the series have come to look forward to.
Mario Party: The Top 100 delivers on what it sets out to, providing a modern way to play 100 classic minigames, each legendary in its own right. Where the game falls short is in delivering what fans yearn for, almost teasing them with half of what made the series so brilliant. Were this game to embrace the chaos and beautiful madness many have come to love the series for, it would have potential to be the greatest entry yet.
Mario Party: The Top 100 is a game that, even though it has 100 of the best minigames of the saga, it feels very short. Very uninspired game mode and very little content make this game uncapable to be on the same level as Nintendo has been this year. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ldb4'); });

Even though the mini games were a blast, the other half is missing, and it's just not a party without them.
Mario Party: The Top 100 values quantity over quality, with a huge array of different events tied by a very basic connection. The overall result is basically an opportunity to regret how good and passionate the old chapters were.

Mario Party: The Top 100 wants to prove that minigames can stand by themselves, but fails in doing so; its minigames, lacking the classic party mode, become boring after a while, and the game is only truly recommandable to those who have three friends ready to join them in this far from perfect blast from the past.

Even if your friends don't have a copy of the game you can still invite them to play with you.
Mario Party: The Top 100 is a game made with great diligence. Its party game nature, however, fails to take off and express itself fully, especially if you've played a lot of the mini-games re-proposed. Although it's a sort of mecum vate of the Nintendo saga, the game is very derived and essential, slipping too soon into oblivion.

Mario Party: The Top 100 is a pretty bare-bones experience, one that has little to offer for those who aren't interested in local multiplayer.
There is a lot to love in the way Nd Cube brought back 100 beloved minigames from the Mario Party series, but this package falls short in the content used to deliver those bite-sized delights. Mario Party: The Top 100 may hold the record for the most minigames, but it certainly has the least amount of content and the lowest replayability.The game set out to compile a collection of the best minigames in the series; that goal was accomplished with great results. That makes the initial time spent with Mario Party: The Top 100 an awesome walk through nostalgia lane - unfortunately the rest is a rushed project; with that in mind it fails to live up to its full potential.
On top of quantity, Mario Party : The Top 100 gathers quality minigames that were wisely chosen, nicely updated and carefully ported to the portable console, although this nostalgic selection also results from the eventual compatibility with the original controls, consequently creating a few issues. Worse, the main modes are too simplistic and almost void of content. Whether those underline a lack of inspiration or development time, such shortcomings prevent this compilation from expressing its potential further than brief multiplayer sessions.

Mario Party: The Top 100 does a very good job at bringing previous minigames of the Mario Party series to the 3DS, thanks to an exquisite conversion job whose result is a long lifespan, very good control systems and a fun and involving solo mode. The other side, though, is that Mario Party's multiplayer component misses out in this game, and it certainly feels like a lesser party game than its predecessors.

Mario Party the Top 100 is a missed opportunity. The idea to bringing together the best of the series in a game was good but it has poorly executed with lack of motivations to return to play. The almost complete absence of the classic board game fun is an incomprehensible decision.

Mario Party: The Top 100 often misses more targets than it hits, but it does so in good spirit with its upbeat music, the inclusion of download play and nostalgic artwork. Unfortunately, you can only mask a bad smell for so long before it turns foul. On handheld, the series is in desperate need of a spin cycle overhaul. While it’s got the minigame polish, it lacks the content to be squeaky clean. For now, we’re hanging this one out to dry.
I do hope they bring Mario Party to Switch soon, but until then, this honestly isn't a very good replacement. Not worth it unless it's a gift for a younger gamer, or you happen to get together with friends and 3DS consoles often.
