'''''Mario Party Superstars''''' is an upcoming installment in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series for the [[Nintendo Switch]] set to be released on October 29, 2021, and is the twenty-fifth installment in the series overall. It is also the twelfth installment to be released on a home console, and the second installment to be released on the Nintendo Switch. The game follows the same gameplay style as its predecessor ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' and earlier installments in the series, though similar to ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', it features 100 [[minigame]]s from past games in the series, as well as five boards from ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. All game modes are available to play online.<ref name=E3/>
'''''Mario Party Superstars''''' is the twenty-fifth overall installment in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. Released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 29, 2021, it is the second ''Mario Party'' game for the console, following ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. It is also the twelfth installment to be released on a home console. The game follows the same gameplay style as its predecessor and earlier installments in the series. It features 100 [[minigame]]s from past games in the series, many of which have been previously included in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', as well as five boards from the [[Nintendo 64]] ''Mario Party'' games. All game modes are available to play online.
 
''Mario Party Superstars'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game published by [[Nintendo]] on one of their consoles to be officially localized into Brazilian Portuguese.<ref name=PTTrailer>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYws-KV8V3Y Mario Party Superstars (Nintendo Switch) – Disponível a 29 de outubro]</ref>
==Gameplay==
''Mario Party Superstars'' features minigames and boards from past ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' titles while retaining the overall game engine and several features from ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. Players take turns hitting the [[Dice Block]] and moving around the board in order to collect [[coin]]s and [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s, and once every player has rolled, a minigame is played, allowing the players to earn coins. Much like games prior to ''Mario Party 9'', the Dice Block rolls 1 through 10 instead of only 1 through 6, and character-specific Dice Blocks from ''Super Mario Party'' do not return. Items can be obtained from [[Lucky Space]]s, [[Item Space]]s, or [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]]s and are generally based on the items seen in ''Super Mario Party''. The boards generally retain their original layout, though some have been updated to include new path layouts and Item Shops, such as [[Peach's Birthday Cake]]. Some of the board events have also been adjusted. Like in ''Super Mario Party'', when landing on a [[VS Space]], the landing player hits a Dice Block to determine how many coins each player must put into the pot, though instead of playing a Rumble Minigame, a Free-for-all Minigame is played, similarly to [[Battle Space]]s from older entries. Once landed on, a VS Space then turns into a [[Blue Space]].
 
During the last five turns, the coins gained or lost from Blue Spaces and [[Red Space]]s are doubled, and two players landing on the same space embark in a Duel Minigame, wagering coins like in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. New to this game is the ability to add turns, in which there is an option to change the number of turns once per game in the menu at any point of the game except for during the last turn. The number of turns that can be added cannot make the whole game last more than 30 turns. Any changes during the last five turns are reverted on the next turn, so for example, two players landing on the same space won't trigger a duel.

{{main|Village Square}}
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the game's main hub is Village Square, which was formerly named Mushroom Village. In the village, the player can go through a [[Warp Pipe]] to play Mario Party. There are also several houses in the village, which serve various purposes. [[Mushroom Shop|Toad's Shop]] sells music, stickers, card designs, and encyclopedia articles. The [[Option House]] allows the player to change their settings, while the [[Friend House]] allows the player to play with their friends online. The [[Data House]] allows the player to listen to music, see their achievements and records, read the encyclopedia and customize their Mario Party Card. There is also a boat in the river that takes the player to [[Mt. Minigames]], which, as the name indicates, allows players to play minigames.

==Differences from other ''Mario Party'' games==
===Differences from the original games===
====Boards====
*Approximately a quarter of Blue Spaces on boards are now Lucky Spaces.
*Toadette now gives the star on the boards in place of Toad and the [[Millennium Star]].
*Characters that were not present in the original games now appear on some of the boards, including Huckit Crabs and Urchins in Yoshi's Tropical Island, Peepas in Horror Land, and Galoombas in Woody Woods.
*Several board events have their own music.
*In the original ''Mario Party'' boards, Bowser charges 11-20 coins for his [[Bowser's bogus items|dud items]]. He may instead sell a Cursed Dice Block for the same prices, or give 5 coins if the player is in last place.
*There are now item shops in the original ''Mario Party'' boards and more than one item shop in Horror Land.
*A Cheep Chomp replaces the giant Cheep Cheep in Yoshi's Tropical Island.
*The layout of Peach's Birthday Cake has been altered, such as moving the Flower Lottery to after the star and making the Bowser route a risky shortcut that loops back towards the star.
*The available seeds in the Flower Lottery now reset once the Bowser seed is selected, instead of after all seeds have been selected. The seeds also now differ by shape rather than color.
*Lakitu now plants the Piranha Plants in Peach's Birthday Cake instead of Goomba. The Piranha Plants can now disappear once their corresponding Event Space has been landed on, and every pair of Event Spaces now corresponds to the same Piranha Plant instead of each Event Space having its own Piranha Plant. Additionally, players now have the option to plant a coin- or star-stealing Piranha Plant instead of being limited to a star-stealing one. Also, when landing on their own Piranha Plant, the player earns a few coins as well and be given the option to upgrade their coin-stealing Piranha Plant to a star-stealing one, provided the player has enough coins.
*Players now give 3 coins when passing a Koopa Bank or 5 coins during the last five turns, instead of always giving a flat 5 coins.
*[[Koopa Kid]] no longer appears in the ''Mario Party 2'' boards.
*Traditional Snifits run the Snifit Police stations in Space Land instead of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' [[Snifit (Super Mario 64)|Snifit]]s.
*King Boo replaces the [[Big Boo]] in Horror Land.
*The Koopa Bank on the left of the board in Woody Woods has been moved to the top, and another Koopa Bank has been added, totalling three Koopa Banks on the board.
*The gates in Woody Woods function more like the gates in Space Land and Horror Land; specifically, they are located directly on their corresponding junctions, and as such, their directions can only be taken if the player has a Skeleton Key.
*[[Wiggler]]s and the multiple [[MIPS]] are absent from Woody Woods, the former being replaced by [[Galoomba]]s and the latter having been replaced by small rabbits.
*The [[Monty Mole]] huts in Woody Woods that allow players to switch the signposts are now Monty Mole burrows from which Monty Moles emerge to talk directly to the player. Additionally, the bottom-left hut has been replaced by a unique Item Shop known as the Forest Shop.
*The last place misfortunes also happen outside of the original ''Mario Party'' boards in this game, appearing in the board-end picture.
*[[Game Guy Space]]s are completely removed from Woody Woods.
 
====Minigames====
*Characters vocalize more frequently in minigames.
*Certain minigames now result in multiple victories instead of a draw if multiple characters survive.
*As with ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', minigames from ''Mario Party 3'' no longer have flat aesthetics.
*Many of the changes to returning minigames from ''The Top 100'' remain.
*Both the ''Mario Party 6'' minigame [[What Goes Up...]] and the ''Mario Party 10'' minigame [[Rapid River Race]] now have a record system, both of which were absent in their respective games.
*Just like [[Hexagon Heat]] in ''The Top 100'', the mushrooms in [[Mushroom Mix-Up]] have different patterns, possibly to help people with color blindness. The same was done to the blocks in both [[Mario's Puzzle Party]] and [[Block Star]] and the marbles in [[Stick and Spin]].
*In [[Cast Aways]], the reeling time when the player does not catch anything is significantly faster.
*Despite [[Crazy Cutters]] being based on its appearance in ''Mario Party'', both Chain Chomp and Blooper appear as possible characters, both of which appear in the ''Mario Party 2'' version. Additionally, it uses its name from ''Mario Party 2'' rather than being named Crazy Cutter as in ''Mario Party''.
**The Chain Chomp fossil is no longer a straight circle.
*Players who fall off the tower in [[Hammer Drop]] now lose all the coins they collected during the minigame.
*The pictures that can be revealed in [[Tipsy Tourney]] are now of a Mushroom, Fire Flower, or Star, rather than just a coin.
*Unlike previous versions of [[Piranha's Pursuit]], as well as [[Parasol Plummet]], the cloud the players stand on ([[Fwoosh]] in the latter) has no face.
*As with [[The Final Battle! (minigame)|The Final Battle!]] in ''The Top 100'', any appearances of Koopa Kid in minigames from ''Mario Party 2'' and ''3'' are replaced with [[Bowser Jr.]]
*Unlike in ''Mario Party 2'' or ''3'', it is not possible to play the item minigames in Free Play mode in Mt. Minigames, the game's minigame mode, and they do not have a dedicated rules/practice screen before starting the minigame. In addition, none of the item minigames' names are used in this game.
*Unlike previous versions of [[Dizzy Dancing]], the record spins clockwise instead of counterclockwise.
*In the ice version of [[Bumper Balls]], the frozen Fly Guy has been removed.
*[[Hot Rope Jump]] can now end if two or more players reach 99 jumps. The endless version for both end after 9999 jumps, and has a record system that is initially set at 5 jumps.
*In the Toad version of [[Roll Call (minigame)|Roll Call]], as well as [[Messy Memory]], the Toads' vests are colored red instead of blue.
*In [[Archer-ival]], if the three player team wins, surviving players rise from behind the brick wall holding their respective panels to celebrate.
**Also in Archer-ival, the solo player no longer receives extra coins from hitting the Goomba (which replaces Toad), Boo, or Bowser Jr. panels.
*The players in [[Look Away]] now have their own portraits showing the top half of their bodies rather than being disembodied heads.
*In [[Quicksand Cache]], the three players now share the coins they collect, rather than each player keeping the coins they collect individually. This was changed to be consistent to later coin-collecting 1-vs-3 minigames in the series after ''Mario Party 2''.
*In [[Speed Hockey]] and [[Shell Soccer]], a [[Green Shell|green shell]] is used instead of a [[Red Shell|red]] one.
*In [[Balloon Burst]], the time it takes to fully pump a single gust of air into the Bowser balloon is longer.
*The pirate theming in [[Roll Out the Barrels]] and the space theming in [[Hammer Slammer]] are absent.
*Players are stunned for a shorter time when hitting the mines in [[Cheep Cheep Chase]].
*The cylindrical path in [[Motor Rooter]] is now colored metallic grey instead of green.
*The Piranha Plants in [[Winner's Wheel]] have been removed.
*[[Bobbing Bow-loons]] is now played from the opposite side, with the player on the left side and the balloons on the right side.
*In [[Swinging with Sharks]], Bowser Jr. stands on a barrel instead of riding on a [[Sushi]] like Koopa Kid does.
*The team tubes in [[Tube It or Lose It]] are all colored black, rather than being colored based on character in ''Mario Party 5'' or player placement in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''.
*The minigames from ''Mario Party 9'' and ''10'' use the same arrangement for their win theme, unlike ''The Top 100'', which gave them separate arrangements.
*Like in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', several minigame themes from ''Mario Party 3'' now use their names from the unofficial translation used for the ''[[Mario Party 3 Original Soundtrack]]'' instead of their actual names from the game's North American and European localizations.
*The song "Going for the Coins" from ''Mario Party 2'' is referred to as "Take the Coin", and the song "Know What I Mean?" does not have the question mark in its name, both oddities that were also present in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''.
 
===Differences from other previous games===
*Rolling two 7's no longer yields a larger coin bonus than rolling two of any other number.
*After the star moves to a new location, the camera zooms out to show the full board.
*If a board's background music is set to "Modern", a rearranged version of that board's music track plays during the last five turns.
*During board events, players have the option to fast-forward the event's animations.
*The coins earned from the minigame played on every 5th turn (except the last turn) are doubled.
*Unlike ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', minigames now retain their original intros and endings and music tracks (in the case of minigames that appeared in both the original ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', the track of whichever version is used). Some minigames, however, have altered endings, most notably minigames from ''Mario Party 9'' and ''10'', which now have traditional endings in the style of earlier games.
*If the player chooses to skip the intro to certain minigames, the music starts at a different point in the song rather than from the beginning.
*Like in ''Super Mario Party'', practicing a minigame takes place on the instruction screen instead of players pressing a button to practice. Beginning a minigame requires each player to press the {{button|switch|plus}} or {{button|switch|minus}} button to confirm they are ready; as a result, players cannot exit out of the rules screen of a minigame without starting it and quitting.
*In Minigame mode, the COM difficulty can be chosen at the instructions screen, or when viewing a summary of the minigame in Free Play, instead of having to return to the character selection screen to change COM difficulty levels. In exchange, players cannot set different levels for each COM player.

|"''Mario Party Superstars is more than just a collection of excellent boards and minigames from the series’ past: It’s a complete return to form for the Mario Party series. There’s a really great mix of classic and more modern minigames, the overall quality of which is top-notch, even if some of them are a bit redundant. It really could have used one more board, and the balance of the 1v3 minigames isn’t the greatest, but with solid online play acting as the icing on the proverbial Peach’s Birthday Cake, it’s easy to say that this is the best Mario Party has been in at least a decade.''"

|"''The newest entry, Mario Party Superstars, is a deliberate embrace of the Mario Party series' early days before motion control gimmicks and twists on its classic game mode became the norm. This is a game that delivers on the core Mario Party experience and is high on nostalgia, but my kids' questions highlighted the trade-off that comes with that approach. In embracing the old, Superstar loses a lot of tweaks and additions that have livened up recent Mario Party games, making Superstars as much of a step back as it is a throwback.''"

|"''The Mario Party franchise, with its interchangeable boards and minigames, is tailor-made for the compilation format. Mario Party Superstars aptly executes the notion of bringing together the best of the franchise while adding improved online features, plus options to let you play the way you want. Despite its lacking selection of game boards, Mario Party Superstars is a blast regardless of how many parties you’ve attended in the past.''"

The die on the boxart has a 3, a 7, and a 10, referencing this game's [[:File:JapaneseMP1.jpg|boxart]]. The boards have a misfortune for the losing player like in nearly every board in this game.
*''[[Mario Party 2]]'': [[Space Land]] and [[Horror Land]] return as boards. 19 minigames return from this game. The [[Skeleton Key]] returns with its design from this game.

[[Birdo]]'s 2nd and 4th place animations are reused as her "neutral" and losing animations respectively, and her artwork is reused from this game. [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopa Clown Car]]'s artwork is an updated version of their artwork from the game's boxart.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Mario Party Superstars glitches}}
===Ice Rink Risk out-of-bounds glitch===
In [[Ice Rink Risk]], a player must be hit by a [[Spiny]]. Then, another player needs to jump to the side of the hit player, and a third player needs to jump on the edge of the second player, the second being near an edge. If performed correctly, the player near the edge will fall out of bounds, but it will not count as if they lost. When the game ends, the camera will pan upward, revealing the Ice Rink Risk map's gray background, and the victory screen will never activate. This glitch was fixed in update 1.1.1.<ref>https://youtu.be/C1XXClwOLqU?si=FuEHaPxR4NTJpP7l</ref>
==Trivia==
*''Mario Party 7'' is the only game to not have any music tracks in ''Mario Party Superstars'' that did not appear in ''The Top 100''.
*''Mario Party Superstars'' has no music tracks from ''Mario Party 8'', ''9'', or ''10'' in common with ''The Top 100''.
