Super Mario Party is the best Party in two console generations. It’s done away with some, but not all, of the slowness, you get to play a ton of great minigames with the cool, but not perfect Switch controllers, and that infuriating randomness of awarded stars at the end of a game is … still a problem. But even those painful upsets feel like less of a party killer this time, because Super Mario Party, especially in the team-based Partner Party mode, is competitive, strategic, and, above all, a lot of fun.
Party Mode
Super Mario Party is a collection of hit-or-miss virtual board games, broken up by competitive minigames – a few of which are worth your time. There’s a lot of filler there, too – I would have preferred more focus on the core modes – but there’s enough here to support up to four partiers having a lot of good fun. (There’s an option to play with computer-controlled opponents, but I don’t recommend playing by yourself.)
