Super Mario Party Reviews
Nintendo, your Mario Party fans deserve better than Super Mario Party. Take a page out of the Smash Bros book and give fans a real treat next time.
Super Mario Party is a welcome addition to the library of Switch titles, bringing with it plenty of new game modes and features to keep you entertained. Undoubtedly it will be best to get out at gatherings like Christmas but online play makes it less reliant on those situations.
Super Mario Party is a good step forward for the series after the last, pale chapters. With this first episode for Switch, Nintendo wanted to look back to the past, especially in the first few games of the series, to bring out the simplicity and immediacy of the original gameplay. The operation has succeeded and is exalted by the peculiar characteristics of the console.

If you've been eager to get more parties pumping with your Nintendo Switch, then Super Mario Party might be the game to make that happen. Though it could also make your friends throttle one another. Either way, good times are had, and memories are formed and shared. Poetry in motion.
There is nothing revolutionary in Super Mario Party, but the series remains the king of party games. This is an ideal gift for the whole family and those who are tired of sitting and playing alone in a room.

The online play is severely lacking and disappointing. But many hours of fun are to be had with this game and even more so with friends.
A shame as this party was one I was glad to be invited to- I just didn’t feel the desire to stick around for too long.
If you have a Nintendo Switch, or some friends with their own systems, Super Mario Party can be a good time.
While the most stubborn and curmudgeonly of gamers will find time to complain about an overemphasis on luck over skill, Super Mario Party and its bevy of mini-games are sure to please casual gamers and series fans alike.
While the classic campaign only revamps the old, individualistic, yet outrageaously randomised formula by developing few recent additions, Super Mario Party displays a more strategic approach through special dices dedicated to each character and cooperative modes. This episode also features diverse wonderful mini games that cleverly use the ergonomic particularities of the Nintendo Switch, with a solid competitive dimension even extended online, but the whole programme lacks some more content to be really worthy of such superlative a title.

Recent Mario Party games have previously had a somewhat sterile feel to them, but with Super Mario Party that simply isn't the case. This isn't a cash-grab with Mario's face on the front; this is a well-constructed and beautifully realised Mario Party game which takes the series right back to its roots, but without being a straightforward rehash. There are a few interesting ideas that feel a little bit underdeveloped, but on the whole Super Mario Party is a true return to form.
Super Mario Party is the best Mario Party game in a long time, and series fans now have a great title on their hands as well as hope for the future.
After the misstep that was Mario Party 10, Nintendo has gone back to basics with Super Mario Party. The competitive boards and minigames are back, along with a few welcome gameplay twists that make this party game feel like a fresh start for the series. From two-console minigames to the Joy-Con motion controls, the new Switch features elevate the entire experience, making Super Mario Party the best in the series so far.
Super Mario Party is a joyous bounty of content picked out in lurid colours that comes together as a great way to play games with friends after a couple of drinks, or with younger relatives.
Super Mario Party retains the whimsical and hilarious nature of its predecessors while greatly expanding on its mini-games and their complexity. It's a joyous time with a bunch of friends or family, even if you can't actually get any better at playing due to its heavily randomised mechanics.
The Mario Party debut on the Switch succeeds thanks to the familiar mini-game concept, good (co-op) mode selection and multiplayer fun.

Super Mario Party may not do everything perfectly, but it's easily some of the most fun I've had the Switch since launch. The boards are a bit dull but the overwhelming amount of great new minigames makes up for any short-falls with aplomb.
Super Mario Party brings one of the longest running party game series to the Nintendo Switch, in a game that brings a much expected online component and a great variety of gaming modes. While the amount of content is to be praised, not all is perfect in Super Mario Party, and the one player experience, as well as the co-op games, feel too simple. The online component also falls short of expectations, even if it's a welcome development, but Mario Party is still the number one name in party games out there.

Super Mario Party combines the aspirations of a Wii game with the well-rounded craftsmanship of a Switch title; it utilizes all of the Switch's unique capabilities without relying on any of them. It signals a return to the franchises' origins while adding layers of new content and intricacy to the original Mario Party formula.
