SeekerSuper Mario Party
Super Mario Party delivers the couch multiplayer experience the series is famous for with an awesome new layer of strategy, 80 mostly-great minigames, and the quirky tech of the Switch controllers to keep things feeling fresh. The downside is that with the Switch’s controllers come some annoyances that make getting people settled onto your couch a bit more of a hassle than previous parties, and the best games are prone to annoying random upsets. But it’s far better paced than recent games and Super Mario Party reset my expectations of the series with its graphics and gameplay creativity.

As with the rest of this package, it’s manic. Throw into this a time limit and the need to complete minigames to extend this timer, and you’ve got a great alternative to the competitive mode that is no less ridiculous, and no less enjoyable.

Super Mario Party is a welcome addition to the library of Switch titles, bringing with it plenty of new game modes and features to keep you entertained. Undoubtedly it will be best to get out at gatherings like Christmas but online play makes it less reliant on those situations.
There’s loads of fun to be had, but we’re confused about the lack of boards in a board game.
