Rush into the usual hustle of the Mario Party games, and choose between some of Nintendo's all-stars with no practical differences... except, for some reason, you think picking Yoshi makes you win more. Then, choose between one of five classic multicolored gauntlets taken from the first three games, to run around in literal circles collecting Coins and Stars at the speed of plate tectonics, and deciphering the special gimmicks of each stage, that will either give you untold riches or totally ruin any chance you have of winning, often both in the same game, as you're pushed off the map, have the Star moved from right in front of you, take out a second mortgage as you land on the 14th Bowser Space, or just have your Star stolen right out of your hands by someone you nominally like, all in between playing minigames for money like that's something people actually enjoy. Then push through as this hellish cycle repeats over and over again, until you finally get to the end of your rounds and everything is tallied up, only for you to lose because someone failed upwards for stepping on the most red squares or something, in a system that feels like running a triathlon just to play Russian roulette, but with five bullets, that, despite all these years of playing, will never numb the rage you feel at being made a fool by the uncaring whims of this game. And yes, I know that you can take Bonus Stars off, but is that really worth getting roasted by your friends for the rest of your life?
My top 3 key highlights in Mario Party Superstars are...
"I was about to reach the finish line in Spin Doctor until someone beats me at the last millisecond!"
"In the 2nd turn in Peach's Birthday Cake, my brother got his FIRST lucky star (before anyone else) thanks to an unexpected hidden block."
"As turns went on after getting a star, they're prone to landing on a Bowser Space for instant karma!"
The best Mario sports game of all time. Fun story mode with fun puzzles, unlocking characters is actually a thing in this game instead of having the full roster given to you with some DLC characters like in Mario Golf: Super Rush or Tennis Aces, the roster is huge and creative with characters like King K Rool and Toadsworth and even the clone characters are atleast iconic in some way (like Paratroopa/Paragoomba being clones of iconic enemy characters) and aren't just there like Pink Gold Peach was in Mario Kart 8, there are several fun ballparks that each have a day and night version with different gimmicks, the items and star power make for loads of added chaos, there's 3 different control options based on how you feel comfortable playing so you aren't just restricted to one control style, and (most of) the minigames have their own fun twist to them. You can literally be the biggest hater of Baseball, the sport itself, and still enjoy this game. The only worrying thing about this game is how badly modern Nintendo would butcher it if the game came on the switch, especially if you look at how Battle League, Aces, and Super Rush turned out.
Zora: Dude, I literally despise baseball and yet I was playing this one Baseball game on my cousin's Wii and had loads of fun with it.
Sydney: Sounds like you were playing Mario Super Sluggers.

Someone who insists they’re the best at Mario kart (despite sucking) when the popular Nintendo game is brought up in any conversation
Person 1: You wanna play Mario Kart?
Person 2: Yeah man I’m the best at Mario kart
Person 1: looks like another case of Mario Kart syndrome
A textbook example of a 3D platformer. Changed 3D gaming forever.
Rom hacking has evolved to the point where you could recreate the entirety of Super Mario 64 with beta assets.
Similar to Mario Karted, where you go from first or second to a bottom spot in a stupid way. Based off the voice clip from Mario Kart 64.
Person 1: *gets knocked from first to last by a Blue Shell and an army of reds* FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Person 2: Welcome to Mario Kart!
