Top Ten Best Things About Mario Party: Star Rush
I'm a bit sick for all the hate towards, just because it's different everyone started to complain how the formula was not the same as the one they used to play in their childhood...Ler's give to this game a chanche and let's see what makes this game good compared to 9, Island Tour and 10.
As 'countdown bleck' said in his Mario party rankings video (star rush was number 7 by the way) "instead of going back to the old formula or trying to fix the garbage party car, Star rush just throws a bunch of ideas at a wall, and, hey, some of them work! "
This formula is new but it's not catastrophic, no time for wait your turn, other characters will help you, you can go everywhere etc.
I like car formula better but for a handheld this is creative.
Let's see... 12 characters playable in every mode including Diddy Kong as a newcomer, four other Toads, Boo, Bowser and Bowser Jr. are playable in Mario Shuffle. So we got 19 playable characters.
We never had such a big roster in Mario games, every character got different abilites and Dice Blocks from each others which make the game even more interesting.
You need to be careful and see what you are doing, there is not just luck now.
If you look at it is REALLY close to the old formula, the main diffeences are all the space are next to each other, the boards are smaller and few spaces are absent.
However it's pretty bad. The minigames happen way too often with everyone moving at the same time, plus the boards and minigames themselves just suck in general
Toad Scramble, Baloon Bush, Challenge Tower, Mario Shuffle, Coinathlon, Rhythm Recital and Boo's Block Party. 7 modes are a lot.
I love Toad Scramble, Mario Shuffle and Boo's Blocky Party.
Some of them have a boring theme but now there are plenty of boards to play on, Mario Party 10 had just 5.
Shame all of them are bland and generic. Not hating but it's a shame really
The star is not just the prize you get when you win the game, in Toad Shuffle you can win them with boss battles, in Baloon Bash they are regularly on the board.
Also in 9 and 10 when you had more mini-stars than the others the victory was all yours, with coins you can get stars at the end if the game but you need to consider the stars you got during the game, there is more challenge.
It's not that big of a deal.
In my opinion
Amiibo Party was incomplete, come on Daisy, Waluigi, Toadette and Spike are not here...
In Star Rush all the 12 main characters are here except Toadette but there are Boo, Bowser and Bowser Jr.
Really nice is the hub, I really enjoy just looking at Waluigi running around the hub world.
(I had to fill the list so..)
The hub is nice, you never really had one but here you can play on the hub with your favourite characters as well.
Not just Dice Blocks like in 9 and 10, items add new challenge to the game just like in the old Mario Party games.
