When my roommate heard of this new version of Mario Party where everybody takes their turn at the same time, she was hooked. The trailers looked awesome, the gameplay looked fun, but the reviews were mixed. And I saw why. The most unique mode, Toad Scramble has you playing as the character Toad, running around checkerboard-like worlds obtaining other Mario series characters as playable allies. These allies can be lost or stolen by the other players. You also earn coins around the worlds by moving your character around, popping balloons and winning minigames. Every 10 coins obtained is exchanged for one star each, at the end of the game mode. The player with the most stars wins. This game lacks the quantity of mini games that the Mario Party series is known for. There is only one that utilizes the microphone, and 3 that require the touchscreen display. The remaining 15 minigames use the control pad and buttons, not including the "boss battles". I don't know why Nintendo thought to make "boss battles" even more simple than a mini games. The only boss battle to have a different game is Bowser, with three different simple scenarios to defeat him. The youngest of Nintendo fans could land in 1st place, even if the other NPC players were chosen to act on "Hard" difficulty. Most of the other game board types are unlockable with "Party Points", similar to experience points in any RPG. When you rank 1st place in the standard game of "Toad Scramble", you earn 200 party points. If you were able to earn enough stars equivalent to a high score, you get the :Star Rush" bonus of additional 100 or 200 party points. The top "Party Level" where everything is unlocked is 12, where you need a total of 6800 party points to reach. Alone, it may take you 20 hours minimally if you become skilled at most of the minigames. Yep, three recharges of your 3DS system and you'll nab everything this game has to offer. I still miss the old Mario Party games that play like Parcheesi mixed with UNO. Yeah, it was long and monotonous, but it's what started it all like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.. Pokemon had the right idea to barely change a thing throughout its series.Read full review

This game is exactly what I expected. I love it. Many courses and game play options that will keep you playing for a while. However, Mario 3D Land did not work so I'm unable to review it.

This is a fun Mario party game. Mario based Amiibo, Yoshi, worked well with it. Really plays well on the 2ds XL.
