The evaluation environment of this article is the Download version of the Hong Kong version, and all the screens are taken in desktop mode.
For years, Mario Party fans have been begging Nintendo to return to that classic Monopoly model. There's no weird new mode, no playground, just the need to run on a chessboard, grab a friend's star, and then taunt him out loud.
Based on the principle of ignoring fans, Mario Party Superstar finally took the initiative to achieve this goal. The whole game looks like that classic mode from the inside out, including all the questions, but not including the graphics effects.
The game offers two modes to play, the first is the classic Monopoly mode and the second is the Mario Party mini-game mode. The former requires you to throw dice and walk around the map, then grab the stars and win through a match or other means, while the latter is a simple scoring rule.
As mentioned earlier, countless fans believe that the classic first mode is the root of the game, and in this mode, it will give you the feeling of playing Mario Party in Mario Party Superstar. Roll down a water pipe and start choosing characters, and like Mario Party, you can fill in the slots with CPU characters.
There are also some pleasant options to tweak the game, such as changing the winning rules, how many rounds the game can last at most, whether the mini-game has hints, etc. These tweaks won't put you and your friends in a hurry, but it will be able to happily adjust your party needs.
And the most important setting is that you can choose which map game you are in, there are currently 5 maps, which are represented by tropical islands and birthday cakes, as well as space parks and horror parks, and finally a map from Mario Party 3.
It is recommended that when there are friends, choose the last three maps, which is relatively interesting, and the other two maps are a bit too simple, and there are 1 or several ways to quickly win.
Compared with the N64 version, the biggest improvement of the new game is that it has an additional save function that can be saved up to 10 times, which will be the biggest improvement.
The game won't have as long a play time as you might think, because you'll play up to 30 rounds at a time, but in cases where classic mini-games from Mario Party 1 to Mario Party 10 are included, maybe you'll play it many times. Of course, here, Nintendo also offers an option for you to choose which mini-games to play, such as somatosensory mini-games, such as action mini-games, or small games that are more suitable for families.
Although it may seem like a "new game" made up entirely of old mini-games that don't look so beautiful, I still want to tell you that the game is really fun, especially when you choose to play online with strangers.
The remade character action screen also makes the game look more in line with the times, you don't have to worry about being called a person who plays the old game, whether it is in the big map or mini game, the environment and lighting effects, etc., can make you clearly understand that you are playing a game of 2021.
Best of all, it all works at a very stable 60FPS, and whether you're throwing dice, grabbing a star from a friend's head, or getting compliments from other computer players, your frame rate will always be so stable.
Final rating: 8 points (10 points), still that fun family game, of course, you can also try the Internet to fight strangers.
