Mario party 2 review1/2/2023 It might be an odd thing to say, but the boards are remakes of those originals boards, keeping everything about them, for better or worse. To be completely clear: all five of these boards are entirely “new”, visually. There’s Peach’s Birthday Cake and Yoshi’s Tropical Island from the first Mario Party, Horror Land and Space Land from Mario Party 2, and Woody Woods from Mario Party 3. What you’ve got here, then, is akin to a remake of some of the Nintendo 64 Mario Party titles with five boards completely revisualised for a 2021 console. There’s a more “classic” Mario Party feel to Superstars, and while it’s very easy to “luck” your way to victory, some fan favourites return, such as the Bowser interruptions. That said, it’s also a bit of a throwback, and not just because of the courses and mini-games on offer. If you’ve played all of the games before, then this will all be very familiar to you. In truth, it’s going to be a tough sell if you’re not a fan of the series already. Is Mario Party Superstars good enough to do that? On top of that, after the phenomenal Metroid Dread it’s an opportunity to see if that screen truly can convert me to being a handheld player. But I have to hand it to Nintendo’s marketing department, because releasing a Mario Party Superstars title right after a new, gorgeous looking screen version of the Switch hits, with a better stand for table-top play… well, it’s a stroke of genius. It’s going to take a while for the effects of that new Nintendo Switch OLED Model to wear off.
