Many are considering this the games biggest flaws, as, despite being a fun party game to play with friends, it would give players an objective in addition to entertainment. With plenty of Mario games and spin-off titles being released over the years many are considering this a big flaw on the part of Nintendo.

Memorable faces like Bowser, Toad, and Boo are missing and undoubtedly other characters, well known or not, could have been added to diversify players' choices. Nevertheless, players are still provided with a variety of fan-favorite and staple characters of the Mario franchise to play as.

The game will no doubt bring back quite a lot of nostolgia for those who played the Nintendo 64 or GameCube iterations of Mario Party. Regardless if players are new or returning, the game is sure to be a blast!
