I’m glad Superstars gives me the option to turn off the pesky end-of-game bonus stars or choose to only play games based on skill. Additionally, you can adjust the rules on how many turns the game lasts and even select which pool of minigames you want to encounter during your session. Superstars is a tribute to the series’ past, which is reflected in its minigames and gameboards. While I enjoyed 2018’s Super Mario Party, I’m glad Mario Party Superstars allows for Pro Controller support and doesn’t require the use of the cramped single Joy-Con. The broad appeal of Mario Party remains intact thanks to simple concepts and controls across the entire package. At the end of each turn, you take part in a four-player minigame to earn extra coins. Mario Party Superstars features the same structure as nearly every other game in the series: Players take turns rolling dice to progress across dynamic gameboards with the ultimate goal of gaining the most stars. The result is a celebration of the franchise that anyone can enjoy regardless of their experience level. Mario Party Superstars capitalizes on that notion, forgoing new content to deliver a greatest-hits compilation of boards and minigames from previous titles. Parties are great places to expand your horizons, meet new people, and make fun memories, but the best celebrations are often the ones spent reminiscing with old friends.
