  • Summary: Think fast and engage with a variety of ways to party with Mario, Toad, and more, on-the-go or on the couch. It's always your turn as you and up to three friends roll the dice, roam the board, and recruit fan-favorite allies. The bigger your party, the faster you'll earn stars and coins inThink fast and engage with a variety of ways to party with Mario, Toad, and more, on-the-go or on the couch. It's always your turn as you and up to three friends roll the dice, roam the board, and recruit fan-favorite allies. The bigger your party, the faster you'll earn stars and coins in frantic minigames. Break free of turn order and choose your path to victory in Toad Scramble, a mode with five wild worlds filled with bite-sized, open maps to play on. Blast across them in cannons, creep around haunted houses, or get a lift from Lakitu. You may get a chance to take down Bowser's mech. Team up with Yoshi, Daisy, Waluigi and other allies along the way. Pit your skills against friends by racing along in a gauntlet of rapid-fire minigames in Coinathlon. Cannon down Goombas, take out Shy Guys pinball-style, and even surf on a leafboard…but watch for Wigglers! You may even find yourself wandering a labyrinth of Boos. Partying is tough business.

    Mario Party: Star Rush is far and away the most fun I've ever had with a Mario Party game. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.17M]

    Mario Party Star Rush’s gameplay design is definitely played on the safe side.

    A strong package overall. It has a lot of smart ideas that will hopefully be used in future games, and there’s a good variety of modes to play with.

    Randomness issues excepted, Star Rush brilliantly charged at the main flaw of Mario Party - the slow pace - thanks to a simultaneous turn, while adding some strategy along the way through the boards' architecture, allies and clever amiibo integration.

    Mario Party: Star Rush feels more like a collection of modes than a fun next step for the series.

    We've enjoyed Star Rush playing with our friends, but as a game it's quite irregular, and playing on your own still is quite boring.

    If a group of buddies all chip in Star Rush can be a cheap night or two of fun, but it’s not much more than that.

With friends it's an absolute blast and everyone moving at the same time makes the games move quicker, skipping the time of boredom, waiting for others to move. With so many new modes there is a lot of variety here too. The best Mario Party by far, I think.… Expand

TheI really liked this game, the gameplay moves fast and doesn’t get boring. The 3d effect is nice and the minigames were great as well. The character selection is stellar and the board’s are fun. The amount of modes is big and I love the ally system. This game really pushed itself in experimenting with new ideas, and I think it really paid off. The museum is beautiful, music has a lot of charm and the challenge tower is quite hard!… Expand

    Toad Scramble is fun imo, and the other modes aren't bad. However, some of them are barely fleshed out and developed well.
