Mario Party: Island Tour

• View history

Due to the platform being the Nintendo 3DS, some of the minigames take advantage of the system's features, such as the stereoscopic 3D, gyroscope, mic, augmented reality (AR), and the touch screen. The game additionally uses StreetPass where players can play minigames if their system has picked up signals from other Nintendo 3DS systems that also have the game and unlock special items from it. Up to four people can play together either with local multiplayer or Download Play using only one game cartridge, similar to how Mario Party DS and later Mario Party installments for the Nintendo 3DS handle multiplayer.

The game was eventually released as a Nintendo Selects title in multiple regions including North America, Europe, and Oceania, being one of the best-selling titles for the Nintendo 3DS.

After a relaxing day around Peach's Castle , Mario and the gang notice a strange letter in a bubble saying they are happily invited to the Party Islands. The gang then cheers about it but then the letter suddenly traps the gang in bubbles to carry them though the sky to the Party Islands. While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, Bowser shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited, so he builds Bowser's Tower, saying that anyone can join him at his evil party. He begins locking all the fun from the Party Islands in bubbles. He also puts evil magic in the bubbles made by the bubble machine to make bubble clones of the gang to guard the tower. The player's selected character and Green Toad advance up the tower and defeat the bubble clones as well as various bosses. After defeating Bowser in Bowser's Sky Scuffle, the player's character then defeats the Mario bubble clones guarding the bubble machine and then destroys the bubble machine with a ground pound. Shortly afterward, Bowser reappears and boots the player's character and Green Toad out of the tower, inviting them to challenge him any time and that he won't be done.

Gameplay [ ]

Unlike the direct preceding game, Mario Party 9 , where all four players travel together through a vehicle and aim to obtain the most Mini Stars, Mario Party: Island Tour uses the traditional independent four player gameplay as seen in previous Mario Party entries. The ultimate goal of the game in most of the boards is to race opponents on a linear-designed board to the finish line, unlike other Mario Party games where players are required to amass the most amount of a certain item to win in all boards. In order to advance through the board, players roll a Dice Block numbered from 1 to 6 to dictate their movement. Each board has its own play style with different rules from another: one board, Star-Crossed Skyway requires players to amass the most Mini Stars while Kamek's Carpet Ride requires players to land exactly on a particular space, called a Just-Right Space, by using numbered cards. Another feature of these boards is to replace the "6" on the Dice Block with another feature, such as a Banzai Bill icon on Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain that causes players to fall back to the halfway point or the start of the board or a 0 in Rocket Road , meaning the player cannot move at all. Prior to starting out, Yellow Toad explains the board's play style and after players are done viewing the rules, they roll a Dice Block to determine their turn order: players who roll a higher number than others will move earlier. In this game, a Round, similar to turns from earlier Mario Party titles, is taken once every player has rolled a Dice Block and moved accordingly, and while in earlier Mario Party titles had a limited amount of turns to take until the game ends, Mario Party: Island Tour proceeds until all players have reached the end goal. When starting their own round, players can either opt to use an item if an item is available for use or look around the map to plan out movement. If players end the game in a tie, a Dice Block roll determines who wins the game. At the end of the game, various stats are recorded such as how many spaces a player has landed on, a line graph depicting the players' progress, and other recordings depending on the board the players were playing on.

When players land on a Space, an event occurs depending on the type of space landed. Their function and design appears to be based off Mario Party 9 ; for example, if players land on a Green Space, nothing occurs while if a player lands on an Item Space on a specific type of board, they receive an item from a pool of randomized items. These items can either benefit the player directly or obstruct opponents. Players can carry up to two items, and players can use only one item per round. Only a few boards have an item system, however, and the type of items players receive varies on the board selected.

Some boards have players participating in minigames, either after every turn or if a Free-for-All Space is landed on. These minigames are small, short activities that have players competing against each other in defined, simple rules, most of them within a time limit. Some minigames involve players surviving a horde of enemies, some involve players racing against one another, some require the player to obtain the most points within a time limit, etc. If the player performs the best in the minigame, depending on the board played on, they receive priority when deciding which prize item to take or how much items are rewarded to them. The lower the rank players are, the lower the priority for selecting items and the less of a reward they receive, with last place players either receiving nothing or the worst rewards. If minigames end in a tie, a Dice Block is used to break the tie.

Mario Party: Island Tour supports local multiplayer if players have multiple cartridges or Download Play if there is only one cartridge. Up to four players can play the game, and they can participate with the player in Party Mode and Minigames Mode.

Reception [ ]

Critical reception [ ].

Mario Party: Island Tour has received generally mixed reviews. The game currently averages a 59% based on 28 reviews on GameRankings [1] and a 57 based on 47 reviews on Metacritic [2] . As with most Mario Party games, Mario Party: Island Tour was praised for being fun to play with other people rather than playing alone and some of its mechanics were praised for being innovative, though general criticisms of the game include its short length, poorly implemented gimmicks, as well as the lack of online play.

Scott Thompson of IGN gave Mario Party: Island Tour a 5.5 out of 10, criticizing its motion control, "uninventive" minigames, and its "poor" single-player campaign unlike Mario Party 9 , but praising its unique board rules and use of Download Play. [3] While expecting this game to perform around the same level as the console Mario Party games due to the inventive touchscreen implementation and unique, new rules for the seven game boards compared to previous Mario Party games, Thompson felt that the "lackluster single player experience", Bowser's Tower, was a slow-paced repetitive grind, and the "bland minigame design" was a step back, due to the similarity of the minigames from the past entries in the Mario Party series and the only category of minigames being Free-for-All type minigames. Caitlin Cooke of Destructoid gave the game a 4 out of 10, [4] disappointed that the game's board gameplay did not play as the original titles did and that the boards felt like chopped up variations of a single mode from previous Mario Party games. She additionally pointed out that the game has a too heavy hand with hand-holding players. She, however, enjoyed the single player mode of Bowser's Tower, the minigames, and the single-cartridge local mulitplayer, though criticized the lack of online play.

On the other hand, Kimberly Keller of Nintendo World Report gave the game the highest critic review, an 8.5 out of 10. [5] She has praised the innovation of the boards, which has each their unique play styles, the usage of the Nintendo 3DS capabilities in minigames, as well as noting that the single player modes Bowser's Tower, StreetPass Minigames, and Collectables being engaging, with Bowser's Tower being the best of the single player modes, though she had criticized the lack of setting a difficulty setting for Bowser's Tower. She also praised the Download Play multiplayer, though criticized the lack of online multiplayer.

Mario Party: Island Tour is the 20th best-selling game for the Nintendo 3DS, selling 1.14 million copies worldwide, as of March 31, 2014. [6] It has become a Nintendo Selects title in various regions, including North America, Europe, and Oceania.

Munch, Munch!

Re: Mario Party 3DS I saw it on nintendo direct, it looks cool. Apparently, nintendo is going back to the simplistic days of mario party, I like that. No cars, no motion controls, no stupid gimmicks just mario party the way I like it.  

King Bowser

Re: Mario Party 3DS ROSALINA IS BACK. IT'S JUST A CAMEO, SHE'S NOT PLAYABLE, BUT SHE'S BACK. NINTENDO HASN'T FORGOTTEN HER. ... But I'm not buying the game anyway :'D  

Re: Mario Party 3DS Why Not?  

Re: Mario Party 3DS I'm still on the fence about this one too, there are a slew of other nintendo games coming out that I want to play.

Re: Mario Party 3DS It seems they are back to the standard board system, although the rules may be different.  

Re: Mario Party 3DS I'm very gald Rosalina is appear in this. At least she is appear as NPC. In MTO, she wasn't this at all and replaced QR with fucking color Yoshis.

Donkey Kong

Red Barchetta

Talk less, smile more..

Re: Mario Party 3DS Have to admit I'm really excited for this game... looks great.  

Baby Mario Bloops

Re: Mario Party 3DS I also cried when I saw that MP9 board mechanics were not in this game. I have some hope back for the MP series.  

New Super Mario

Re: Mario Party 3DS I really liked DS, so we'll see. I hope Choice Challenge is back, and similar minigames to MP9. It's a shame how much hate MP9 gets......  

~Yo-YO, let's GO! PSI Prodigy!~

Re: Mario Party 3DS ^You can tell it's obviously the Mario Party 9 logo without the diamond background in the letters. :P Anyways, the cards seem like an interesting system, but I'm hoping that it won't be a race to the finish thing...  

Dedicated Mario fan; loves the Mario girls double!

Re: Mario Party 3DS Yeah, saw the announcement this morning via Nintendo Direct; definitely keeping tabs on this front.  

Purple Yoshi

Re: Mario Party 3DS It seems interesting. All I want is a ton of collectibles like in Mario Party DS. That was what kept me playing all the time. And the AR minigames are probably optional. What happens if you lose the cards? I was just really excited when they said "More puzzle minigames". That was my favourite part of Mario Party DS, playing those puzzles.
