Video Game Review - Super Mario Party

The Mario Party series has been around since 1998. The first Mario Party came out on the Nintendo 64 console. There now have been 11 Mario Party games made for a home console since 1998, Super Mario Party being the newest addition.

In this game, just like most of the others, you play against your family/friends on a game board. You have dice that you role, which determines the number of spaces you can move. The different spaces that you land on have different effects. For example, if you land on a green space, you will get 3 coins. The more coins you get the better because you then use those coins to buy stars. The person with the most stars at the end of the game, wins! The thing that makes Mario Party so much fun, is that when everybody takes one turn, you all go into a mini-game round. The game throws you into a random mini-game that you must win to earn the most coins for that round.
​
Other than the traditional game play of a Mario Party game, this game has a hub world where you can walk up to different things you want to do. There is a station that is solely mini-games (which is my personal favorite). Also, if you have a Nintendo Online membership, you can play the mini-games online with other people.
