Super Mario Party Reviews
Super Mario Party isn’t quite in the class of Mario Party 2, but it’s definitely a return to form for the series and should be a joy to play for any newcomer or fan of the long-running series.
Super Mario Party marks the beginning of a revival to the series that was long overdue. Unquestionably charming and consisting of a fresh selection of minigames made with the Joy-Con in mind, it breathes some fresh air into what was a deflated affair. The boards are smaller and the thrills are gone, but what’s new here is a promising look at what could be a new chapter of multiplayer fun from Nintendo.
Super Mario Party attempts to return to the roots of the franchise, but ends up being a mere shadow of its predecessors, lacking any of the heart, sou, and chaotic fun of the best of the series.
Super Mario Party offers an ultimate party game with a wide selection of modes. Even though some of them don't really go in-depth, you will not get bored any time soon - no matter whether you're playing with four players, two players or even just by yourself. Despite some small issues we can say that Super Mario Party is pretty super... Mario... Party.

When it comes to multiplayer fun, you can't do much better than Super Mario Party.
Super Mario Party is an eclectic celebration of twenty years of star collecting and coin hoarding; bringing together the best bits into one show-stopping, mini-game cake. Paul Hollywood would grab a Joy-Con and give it a thoroughly good handshake. The addition of "Super" to the title is thoroughly deserved - with streamlined, refined mechanics, classic game design, smart mini-games and brilliant extras to tuck into. Whilst the sense of competition and unpredictable antics is still very much in play, there's also a greater feeling of teamwork within mini-games that hasn't been seen since the original Mario Party. The series has found its encore, and it's ready to keep dancing deep into the night. Super Mario Party is the essential Nintendo Switch release, a true return to form for a franchise that was at risk of going stale.
Super Mario Party is out this Friday (October 5th 2018) on Nintendo Switch in both retail and on Nintendo eShop! Thank you to Nintendo UK for supplying the code for this review.
Mario Party has seen its fair share of good and bad over the years, but Super Mario Party swings the pendulum back in the right direction. The return of the classic style is a welcome one, and the plethora of different minigames hit the mark more often than not. It would have been nice to see another board or two, but the assortment of other fully-fledged modes helps to mitigate that feeling.
Back to basics with a lot of fun, but Nintendo should add more content in the future.

Super Mario Party does offer a lot of fun with the variety of its mini games and game modes. however, the tension between players isn't really there due to the friendliness of the game and the simplified boards. we can't help but to feel a little disappointed.

Sitting squarely on the "fun for the whole family," end of Nintendo's spectrum, Super Mario Party is a joy. It's colourful, cheerful, and good-spirited, and backs that up with excellent board and minigame design. After a few iterations that were too experimental for their own good, Mario Party is back in form, and that has made me really happy.
Despite flaws like a lack of board variety, limited control options, and no way to play with more than 8 players, Super Mario Party is a worthy successor to the franchise, and a must-have for the Switch.
Super Mario Party manages to perfectly blend nostalgia with brand new gameplay, and no party's going to be complete without it.
Super Mario Party is one of the best entries for the series in a decade. It is incredibly fun for both kids and adults alike, but the online multiplayer implementation is rather disappointing making it more suited for local multiplayer.
Super Mario Party is the game that Nintendo fans have been waiting for. It has 80 fun mini games that can be enjoyed in an assortment of game modes. Sadly, it has a couple of errors ―like a small selections of games and a poor online component― that hinder the experience.

Boards design is oversimplified and disappointing, with that being said it is still one of the best party games on the switch even after you collect all gems you would still revisit the minigames every once in while.

Super Mario Party manages to return to the roots of the series while sprinkling in some new features and a wealth of diverse content that all but guarantees there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Minigames are usually simple and easy to grasp, while still being enduring.
Super Mario Party is nothing near perfect. its board games are flawed and there is just not enough content for the survival river mode. But the super fun addictive gameplay of the games makes for all of these problems and gets you a fun party or family gathering to enjoy.

With impressive aesthetics and delightful character animations, Nd Cube has finally found its rhythm with Super Mario Party. Although the game isn’t without its issues, these are few and far between, making the eleventh instalment one of the best it has been in years. That’s something to celebrate – and thankfully with no party car in sight.
Super Mario Party is where the series should have gone years ago. Gone are the cars, the mini stars, and the one player chasing down the team as Bowser. Here we have a Mario Party game for the ages, one that builds on and will hopefully be built upon, and one I'll be coming back to happily.
