Luitenant_Gruber Mario Party Superstars Review

Fun for the whole family and with friends. Mario Party Superstars is the twelfth million remake of the all-time classic Mario Party. It features five remade boards from the original N64 version and some new mini games, while including all the mini games from the other thousands of installments in the past. This game is the FIFA of Nintendo, it comes out every year and gives you one new or improved feature at a time for a quick fill of the pockets. But despite this, it is still a fun game to play with your family or friends. The goal is simple, as always. Collect the most stars before the final round is over and you are a winner. It is that simple. To do this you throw dices, buy special power ups to help you get to the star’s location faster and play a mini game after every round to earn some extra cash (when you win of course). The mini games are always great and never bore me, this game got them all, from 1998 until now. And they even added some more in this installment. It is just good fun. This game, like the other editions, can destroy friendships and tear families apart because of the constant torment you can inflict on your opponents by stealing their money or even stars. You also can limit their movement to 3 spaces max and to top it off, send the star to a new location when your opponent gets really close to it. Mario Party Superstars can be intense and sometimes I asked the question to my wife: “You think this is a f*cking game?” And then I realise, it is. My only complaint is that it needs to be remade almost every year, instead of just upgrade it with new content, like many other games. I know that the magic of money plays a part in this, but still. Mario Party, whatever the edition, will always be the ultimate party game with friends and family and remains fun to play.
