Super Mario Party
Super Mario Party is a 2018 party video game developed by NDcube and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the eleventh main installment in the Mario Party series, and the first for the Nintendo Switch. The game was described as a "complete refresh" of the franchise, bringing back and revitalizing gameplay elements from older titles while also introducing new ones to go along with them. The game was released worldwide on 5 October 2018, and sold 1.5 million copies by the end of the month.
Super Mario Party includes four game boards and 80 minigames. It received positive reviews from critics. As of December 2025, the game has sold 21.28 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling Mario Party game and one of the top 10 best-selling games on the system. Mario Party Superstars, a game featuring boards remastered from earlier entries and a return to the original formula, was released in 2021. A sequel, Super Mario Party Jamboree, was released on 17 October 2024.
Super Mario Party returns to the traditional turn-based Mario Party-style of gameplay for the first time in over a decade. This format had remained absent from home console entries since Mario Party 9. The game is played with one Joy-Con controller per player, with other players needing additional controllers for multiplayer. In the game's story, Mario and his friends hold a party to determine who should be the Super Star. Bowser appears, with Bowser Jr. and his minions, arguing that any of them could also be the Super Star. Toad, Toadette and Kamek (the latter at Bowser's behest) are appointed as judges and the party begins.
The standard game mode, "Mario Party", features up to four players taking turns independently navigating the game board. Upon the player's turn, a dice block is rolled to determine how many spaces the player moves on the board, and items collected can be used to alter how many spaces the player can move. Each space has a unique function, such as blue and red spaces giving and taking three coins respectively, and good luck and bad luck spaces granting the player helpful or unhelpful consequences.
After each player takes their turn, everyone competes in a minigame that awards coins based on their placement. Minigames vary with rules and playstyle, such as 4-player free-for-alls, 2-on-2 or 1-on-3 matchups, or utilizing motion controls or HD Rumble. There are 80 minigames in total across all game modes where the objects are colored according to Mario Party 7's color code, and they can all be played independently of the game board in the Free Play section.
One star is located in a random location at a time; any player who reaches it can spend ten coins to purchase it. The player who has the most stars and coins by the end of the game wins. Coins can additionally be spent on one-use items to give the player certain advantages on the board, such as adding to one's own dice roll, subtracting from another player's dice roll, or using a golden pipe to be taken directly to the star.
One major difference compared to previous home console entries is the introduction of character-specific dice blocks: each character has a unique alternative dice block that has a different selection of numbers compared to the standard dice block, including a slightly higher chance of 3's (Mario), rolling only even numbers (Peach), and having a decent chance for a high roll but an equally likely chance to lose coins (Bowser). Another major difference is the incorporation of the ally system from the Nintendo 3DS game Mario Party: Star Rush, wherein each player can recruit up to three allies from the roster. These allies can add additional rolls to the player's dice block, lend the player their character-specific dice block for the duration of the game, and appear as assistance in some of the minigames.
Beyond the standard Mario Party mode, Super Mario Party features several secondary game modes for multiplayer. The second, known as "Partner Party", has two teams of two players also searching for stars, but the players are free to move in any direction and cross their path, similar to the "Toad Scramble" mode from the aforementioned Star Rush. This mode features unique items and redesigned board layouts. In "River Survival", four players must work together to navigate through a series of white-water rapids under a time limit. This mode features exclusive minigames that focus on cooperation and reward the team with time bonuses. In "Sound Stage", players compete in a series of motion-controlled rhythm games in one of three difficulty settings, and the player with the highest score by the end wins.
