How long does a game of Mario Party Superstars last?

Mario Party Superstars is perfect for a family game night or a couch party with friends. A game board can last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. The game duration depends on how many rounds you set and how much time you allow for cutscenes and practice rounds before the mini-games.

Before each game, you'll get a recommendation on how many rounds are appropriate for the board. After that, you get to determine the number of rounds yourself.

For your evening planning, calculate the following playing times for each board:

  • 10 rounds: approx. 30 minutes
  • 15 rounds: approx. 45 minutes
  • 20 rounds: approx. 60 minutes
  • 25 rounds: approx. 75 minutes
  • 30 rounds: approx. 90 minutes

If you want to play through Mario Party Superstars in single player or multiplayer with all the extras and mini-games, you should expect to spend about fifteen hours playing.

How many mini-games are there in Mario Party Superstars?

Mario Party Superstars offers you a lot of variety on all game boards. You can expect a hundred mini-games, which are divided into different categories. At the beginning of each game, you'll be able to choose which types of mini-games you prefer.

You can choose between family-oriented games for young and old, mini-games with a focus on action or skill, and a selection of N64 or Game Cube classics. If you can't decide, you can choose the option "all types". This contains a balanced mix of all variants.

Mario Party Superstars: These tips will help you win every match

Watch Toadette's position

The player with the most stars wins a game of Mario Party Superstars. If there is a tie, the number of coins collected decides. Therefore, you should always keep a close eye on where Toadette is. The merchant will sell you one star for twenty coins. However, her location can change.

There are also items you can use to actively change Toadette's position. Look for them in Toad's store. If you have one of these items up your sleeve, you can prevent your competitor from grabbing an important star in the final rounds. If you're lucky, you'll find a secret block. These can also contain stars.

Get coins in direct duels

Another useful strategy is to always collect as many coins as possible. You can get them on the blue coin fields, lucky fields or as mini-game rewards. Also, during the final stage, you can fight in a direct duel with a fellow player for a set amount of coins.

Duels occur whenever two characters land on the same square. In Toad, grab a lucky die. You can use it to determine the number you roll and, if necessary, challenge someone else to a duel in the final rounds.

In the duels you can collect important coins during the final stage.

Activate the bonus stars

Activate the bonus stars for a particularly exciting trick. This will give players a star for special achievements at the end of each match. This can really turn the game on its head if, for example, you are rewarded for the most visits to Bowser fields after the game. The bonus payouts vary with each game. If you choose the classic variant, stars are always awarded for the most coins, the most mini-game wins and an event bonus.
