Super Mario Party

is the reimagination and relaunch for the Nintendo Switch. The game was revealed at E3 2018 as a party game that “goes back to the four-player basics as [players] take turns and race across the board searching for Stars”. The game is designed to feel like the classic Mario Party from the N64 era while incorporating some of the elements of more modern Mario Party games.

Super Mario Party is now the first installment in the franchise to add online play.
