Hiiighway tooo the Danger Zone~!
Riiide iintooo the Danger Zone~!

We're in a freaking Banzai Bill. I can't think of much more dangerous than that! Oh. Two things I need to mention about this match: We only have 3 people playing this time around. Player 4 couldn't take any more, I guess! Aaand, the computer is Wario. Which made it REALLY confusing for me since I usually play as him!

Mario Party 10 continues the "Everyone moves together to get from point A to point B" style that Mario Party 9 heralded. I'll just say from the get-go that I am not a fan of this deviation from the more traditional board game style, but it isn't anything horrific. I guess they just wanted to try something new and didn't want their games lasting as long as, well... a board game.

Anyway collecting Mini Stars is the name of the game here. They're basically like the coins of earlier Mario Parties. You'll find them at various checkpoints throughout the board, by winning mini-games, and defeating bosses among other events! Whoever has the most at the end, wins! They'll also hand some bonus mini stars out at the end to mix things up a lil'.

There's items and stuffs too, and a few preseeded events, like bosses and whatever to just help the game feel all the more predictable. Eh. I'm just more a fan of things being more frenetic and spontaneous in Mario Party, is all. Still a good title to round up and rile up some friends with!

Oh! Almost forgot to mention! They made Bowser a continuous threat in this outing. He'll be locked up in a cage in the gamepad at the start of a board, but will break out if every die number is rolled and wreak all kinds of havoc, so watch out!

This was captured directly on the Wii U at 60 frames per second so you could see every moment of the action! I played with 3 other totally real humans, so know that our emotional well being and mental clarity were at stake! We still talk to each other after all this, so it probably means we haven't played enough Mario Party yet; expect to see some more down the line!
