Super Mario Party
What is Super Mario Party? This is a virtual board game experience where you compete with other players for the best spots in mini-games and on the game board.
What is it about? Join together with characters from the Mario games that you have selected on a virtual board game. In over 80 minigames, you have to prove your skill with the Switch controllers.
The minigames offer a lot of variety. While pedaling on small tricycles, you should move the Joy-Con controllers in a circle – stamina is key if you want to cross the finish line first. Other mini-games require full-body involvement when you have to mimic poses while dancing or march like in a parade.
You don’t have to play against each other necessarily. Cooperative modes like rafting test your teamwork skills. There is also an online mini-game mode.
