Ratings and Reviews

Editors’ notes.

With exciting events, famous characters, and wild courses, Nintendo's legendary kart-racing series burns rubber on mobile.

Love this Game...However

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a game like this on my phone, even as an Apple Arcade subscriber... I went ahead and ponied up for the Gold Pass about 1 month after starting Mario Kart Tour, and I’ve found that the value for Gold (Almost) made sense, you get access to a couple high level players, karts etc, and the extra loot from every gift box, as well as access to the 200cc courses, but that’s where the advantage stops. If you ever want to ace these courses (5 Star) from this point forward, it’s not so much a matter of your “skill” in play, as much as it is for the advantage gained by high level players, karts and kites that you would only access from the Pipe. Which means you need Rubies and Rubies are expensive and hard to earn without those higher level players... also the frequency of high level “wins” for plays is ridiculous IMO, i have spent over 1000 rubies on the pipes so far and it just feels like you come up short. This is why I chose to Cancel my Gold Pass, reset my profile and delete/uninstall Mario Kart Tour. Although I enjoyed the brief attempt at multi-player, I think I’ll stick to playing MK on my switch for the competitive feel. Maybe I’ll circle back around, but for now, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

I’m only doing this since multiplayer is available now

The game is ok and it’s addictive because of nostalgia and the gambling of the pipe (which has problems in its own but that’s not what this review is about) I’m a little disappointed in the multiplayer at the moment. I was surprised that the mechanic of only 3 or so characters could get 3 items and have a frenzy was still a thing. I think a better option would to give everyone three items but make the chances of having a frenzy higher for the characters that go along with the map. Second I know it’s still glitchy because it’s still in testing but the ones I’ve seen are items disappearing, “teleporting”, and freezing. I know since it’s online that much can’t be done about the freezing; but when the round starts I don’t understand why there’s a chance of being at the starting line for up to a minute waiting for a countdown. Everyone is already in the lobby and has chosen their carts why can’t the race start Second part of my complaints Why the limitations on coins and xp? I understand that they don’t want people to be op but three hundred coin limit per day is a little stingy especially when the store changes everyday and even gliders cost up to 500 coins alone. Also 80% of the time the store is just filled with items you already have ,and so is the pipe ,I don’t think I should be able to spend rubies and get over 3 duplicates especially since they are so hard to get

Mario Kart Tour

Mario Kart Tour is a free spin-off Mario Kart game. It's the third Mario game released for mobile operating systems, after Super Mario Run and Dr. Mario World . It was announced on January 31, 2018, and was originally scheduled for release by March 2019, but was later on released on September 25, 2019 in Japan, Oceania, Asia, North America, and Europe.

While the game is designed for mobile devices, much like the game's predecessors on Nintendo handhelds ( Super Circuit , DS , and 7 on dedicated handhelds, and 8 Deluxe on the hybrid Nintendo Switch ), it also supports tablets and even computers with a compatible mobile OS. An update even allowed "Landscape Mode" for users playing on a phone.

With a score of 58% on Metacritic, it has the lowest critical score out of all the Mario Kart games .

Gameplay [ ]

Mario Kart Tour features gameplay similar to Mario Kart 7 , featuring Aerial tricks , Mini-Turbos , Slipstreaming , and gliding sections . Due to the fact that the game is on mobile devices, the controls for this game are significantly different to the mainline Mario Kart games: the player now accelerates automatically, and this also applies to performing tricks (if they have enough speed). The turning physics have been changed, where the player taps and holds to the screen where the kart should go, although there are invisible barriers preventing the kart from crashing into a wall, going off-road (without any kind of boost), or falling off the track.

Races are now in two laps instead of three (except for GCN Baby Park , which has 5 (it has 3 in the T variant), and 3DS Rainbow Road , which has a single lap with 3 sections). Also, Wii Rainbow Road and GBA Bowser's Castle 4 are now one lap in two sections. Also, Races and Battles are once again back to 8 racers.

One of the main features in this game is the points system. At the start of a race or battle, the player is granted starting points that depend on the base points of their selected driver , kart and glider . Also, the player is rewarded points for their actions during the race or battle such as collecting coins , performing Mini-Turbos , gliding , hitting opponents with items . Also, more points are rewarded if the player maintains a combo, which stops if an action took too long to occur. Karts that favor or favorite a course will grant a points multiplier depending on the course actions, and Gliders that favor or favorite a course will grant more points for maintaining a combo and increase the time before the combo streak ends. Lastly, points are rewarded after finishing the race, which is higher for better finishing positions. Also, these points increase as a player levels up.

One of the game's most interesting features is the Frenzy Action , which can only happen to drivers that favorite a track in the game, where the driver can gain access to three item slots. To activate a Frenzy, the driver must get the same item in all three slots. When this happens, the kart temporarily undergoes the effects of a Starman and can use an unlimited number of the item that is involved in getting the frenzy (although some items behave differently than normal in a Frenzy).

Returning from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , each racer has a Special Item (known as a Special Skill in this game), which has a similar effect in the original game. Some Special include items that have been introduced in this game, such as the Mushroom Cannon and the Bubble , and returning items, such as the Giant Banana and the Lucky Seven .

Additionally, courses can be driven backwards, with their backwards layout being referred to as an "R" Variant, short for "Reverse variant." In certain spots, special wire-mesh bridges called Chain-link Paths will be placed so racers can scale a wall (due to the lack of Anti-gravity ). The "Trick variant," or "T" variant for short, places more objects that can be used to get jump boosts , and the chain-link paths from the R variant are one type of such object that can be added. The reverse-trick variant, or "R/T" variant for short, combines the Reverse Variant with the Trick Variant: trickable objects are added to the course while the racers traverse it backwards.

This game has an experience system, where players can gain experience by placing high in races or battles. Higher levels mean more items will be available in the Daily Selects, and more points are rewarded for finishing a race. Also, a bonus reward is rewarded, which is coins or rubies .

Since the Battle Tour , that came out on October 5, 2022, Battle Mode makes a return in this game. However, only the traditional Balloon Battle mode is available, and the rules are similar to the original rules like in Super Mario Kart : Participants start with two balloons, and they are eliminated if both are lost. Also, eliminated opponents appear floating outside the stage, and they can throw either Bananas , Green Shells , and Bob-ombs on the stage.

There is also "Auto Mode", which was added to the game on an update in 2020. Here, the player can watch their loadout and their seven other opponents race on the track with customisable options such as filters and formations. Coins , Star Tokens and Grand Stars are still obtained in this mode. This mode is unavailable in Battle Mode and on online multiplayer.

Content [ ]

Single-player mode [ ].

Single Player Mode revolves around playing through the Tour itself, with each Tour lasting two weeks. Whenever a new Tour launches, it will bring new cups for the player to race or battle through. Each cup contains 3 tracks (or 2 tracks and 1 battle stage) and 1 bonus challenge (challenges that are easily relatable to Mario Kart DS s Mission Mode ). Certain cups are locked from the beginning, which will be unlocked as time passes. The wait time to unlock these cups can be sped up by using Quick Tickets. Originally, the next cups and tracks had to be unlocked by playing the previous track or challenge.

Based on the score a player gets in each race or battle, they will be allotted 0 - 5 Grand Stars , which are used to unlock tour gifts (which can contain Coins , Rubies , Pipes , tickets, Drivers, Karts and Gliders ). Points earned across all the courses (not counting bonus challenges) are totaled together for the All-Cup Ranking score.

The Cups in a Tour in this game are named after a mainline driver who appears in this game, such as Mario and Toad . In this case, the character that has their name featured on a cup will favor all the tracks in the cup, and they will favorite a track that they favor by default.

Since the Mii Tour , the second cup of a Tour is always the Mii Cup. Here, all Mii Racing Suits will favorite the first track of the cup, and favor the other tracks, but they will favorite them if they favor or favorite them by default. Also, all Mii Racing Suits will favor the first track of every cup in the Tour.

Multiplayer Mode [ ]

Multiplayer Mode is available to all players who own the app (not just the Gold Pass players as shown in the first December 2019 Beta test). It puts you against other players to compete for first place, or just to have fun.

Players now have a Multiplayer Rank (similar to the Player Rank, which caps at level 150), and for every top spot they finish in, their bar will fill. Once filled, it will advance players to the next Multiplayer Rank (starting at F, moving onto E, then D, and so on until you eventually reach A).

  • All players who advance to the next Multiplayer Rank earn a starting 20% for their bar.

Players can choose from two different Multiplayer race options: Standard Race and Standard Battle. Their rules are updated daily, and the cups players will play in are rotated every 12 minutes, providing players with five different cups per hour. Before the Battle Tour , Gold Races were available before being replaced by Standard Battles.

Standard Race [ ]

In Standard Races, players from all over the world can play simultaneously in a room. There can be from 2 to 8 players racing in a game. Anyone racing in these rooms are limited to the following:

  • 100 - 150cc
  • 1, 2, or Default item slots
  • No Teams or 2 Teams

Standard Battle [ ]

Standard Battles are similar to Standard Races, but they only involve battles on battle stages. Rules are limited to:

  • Shells Only, Bananas Only, Bob-ombs Only, Frenzy On

Gold Race (Unavailable) [ ]

Gold Races, unlike Standard Races, were available to only Gold Pass players. The same rules apply from the Standard Race rules, with the only exception being 200cc .

Local/Friend Rooms [ ]

Local Multiplayer rooms can be created by a player who has their location on. Nearby Mario Kart Tour users can then join the room for up to 8-player fun.

Friend rooms abide by the same rules, with the only exception being the fact that you can only play with players on your Friends List.

If you're the creator of a Local/Friend room, you have the ability to set the rules of the race, similar to the daily rules of Standard and Gold Races.

  • COM Racers, No COM Racers (if the room isn't full and COM Racers are on, AI characters will fill in the empty spaces of the room
  • No Teams or 2-4 Teams

Challenges [ ]

There are many challenges in this game, which reward Rubies , Grand Stars and a badge. each set of challenges has 9 challenges, and when a row of these (whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal) is completed, coins will be rewarded. When all 9 challenges are completed, a bonus reward is given, which is either Rubies , a special driver , kart or glider , or a badge. A Tour also has a set of its own Premium Challenges, which give a lot of good rewards, but these challenges much be purchased with real money and a Gold Pass won't get you them.

Daily Challenge [ ]

Every day, a course is set for a daily challenge, which is the first course they haven't attempted that isn't involved in a current, past or future Weekly Ranking. Here, the player will play as the Driver has the track showcases on their icon even if they haven't been unlocked yet, and the best kart and glider they own for the course. After the race or battle finishes, the player is rewarded a free pipe pull, but on the fourteenth time this finishes in a tour, a badge is rewarded instead.

Weekly Ranking [ ]

In a Tour's Weekly Ranking, players go against 19 other players that have a matching Tier by gathering points on the three tracks (or battle stages) of a selected cup, which is the Tour's first cup for the Tour's first week, and the third cup for the last. At the end of the weekly ranking, the top players receive better rewards and move up to a higher tier, whilst the lower players receive less or no rewards and either move up less tiers, remain in that tier, or move down a tier or two. Higher tiers result in greater rewards at the top positions.

Coin Rush [ ]

In Coin Rush, you play on a special Coin -filled track. Playing as Gold Mario , the player will drive through one lap of the course, collecting Coins that are automatically pulled towards Gold Mario when he approaches them. Red Coins are worth 2, and Blue Coins are worth 5.

Coin Rush requires Rubies or Coin Rush Tickets to play. You can spend extra to increase the multiplier.

  • Ticket or 5 Rubies - x2 Coins
  • 3 Tickets or 15 Rubies - x6 Coins
  • 5 Tickets or 25 Rubies - x10 Coins

In the Shop, players can exchange their coins , Star Tokens and Rubies for new items, drivers , karts and gliders .

  • There is the Daily Selects, which sells 3-9 items depending on the player's level. Tickets, drivers, karts and gliders are sold here at a number of coins , with items with higher rarities costing more. Items refresh daily, hence the name, or they can be refreshed by using a Quick Ticket.
  • There is the Token Shop, which normally sells sets of coins , rubies , and tickets, a pipe pull that stacks, and a balloon. At special circumstances, Gold Pipes can also appear here. Items refresh after the end of a tour.
  • There is the Tier Shop, which sells tickets at a higher price. Items refresh after the end of a tour.
  • There is the Mii Racing Suit Shop, which sells up to ten Mii Racing Suits for 70 - 100 Rubies . Items refresh after the end of a tour.
  • Underneath the spotlight content is the Daily Spotlight. This features six drivers (excluding Mii Racing Suits), six karts and six gliders that favorite at least one track that is involved in a current, past or future Weekly Ranking in a Tour. These items refresh every day, hence the name, or they can be refreshed by using a Quick Ticket.

The Pipe [ ]

Since 3.0 [ ].

Up until the Battle Tour , the pipes which can be pulled using rubies, including the free pipe pulls by earning Grand Stars , were removed and replaced with the Spotlight Shop and pipes available in Tour Gifts. This time, Pipes can no longer reward Spotlight content, but they can still be used to unlock characters , karts and gliders , as well as reward tickets, coins and rubies . This time, the Pipe's rewards are properly randomised.

Pipes can be purchased at the Token Shop, where they can be purchased up to 34 times per Tour, starting at a price of 20 Star Tokens at the beginning of a Tour. As they are bought, the price increases by 10 until the price reaches 200, and then the price would then increase by 50.

Pipes can also be obtained by playing on multiplayer. As the player plays in this mode a gauge towards a free pipe pull will fill up, which can be received multiple times during the run. When they quit multiplayer, they have the option to fire all the pipes that they have earnt.

Before 3.0 [ ]

Before the Version 3.0.0 Update, The Pipe is a special feature used to unlock characters , karts , and gliders . Rubies are required to fire of the Pipe for either 1 separate item or 10 bundled items, which come at a better price.

  • 5 Rubies - 1 Pipe item
  • 45 Rubies - 10 Pipe items (10% Ruby discount)

Each tour includes two sets of Spotlight content. Week 1 of the specified tour will include certain Spotlight items that'll help players out during the Ranked Cup of Part 1. Week 2 will include Spotlight items that will help players out during the Ranked Cup of Part 2. There are certain exceptions when it comes down to the Spotlight items; at times, there will be 1 High-end driver, kart, and glider, while at other times there will be a variety of items.

While it may seem random, the Pipe is in fact not completely random. Pipes will have either 100 or 50 items inside of them at the start of their appearance time. Each class (Normal/Super/High-end) of drivers, karts, and gliders has a limit to how many of them can be received. The Pipe can be reset to restore its contents though, allowing you to pull items from a class that you've once emptied.

Once you've received a specific item from any category, its probability will drop, while the rest of the items' probabilities will rise.

Trivia! [ ]

  • Nintendo announced Mario Kart Tour via Twitter on January 31, 2018.
  • This is in contrast to Super Mario Run s one-time US$9.99 in-app purchase to fully unlock the game, and lower monthly fees for Nintendo Switch Online service.
  • Nintendo Network support, though unlike Super Mario Run and company, it has no My Nintendo support.
  • Rubies as in-game currency; unlike Super Mario Run , My Nintendo Coins cannot be used.
  • Friend lists
  • Mario Kart Tour is the ninth release of Mario Kart as consumer software, but as it omits the number 9 in its name, it could indicate that Nintendo distinguishes it from the main Mario Kart series, although it recognises this game as the ninth installment in the franchise, as seen in the trailer for the first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass . [1]
  • This is the fourth handheld game of the franchise after Super Circuit , DS , and 7 .
  • Mario Kart 8 is the only game in the main series without a currently-confirmed returning stage in this game.

  • In fact, only 3 Characters from the mainline Mario Kart series (excluding the GP series) haven't returned which are Paratroopa (from Mario Kart Double Dash ), R.O.B. (from Mario Kart DS ) and Honey Queen (from Mario Kart 7 ).
  • Miis were originally going to appear in the initial release but were removed until the final cut by Version 2.12.0 and Mii Tour, perhaps due to discontinuation of both Miitomo and Pokémon Rumble Rush in 2018 and 2020, Respectively.
  • This is the first game to feature the Pipe Frame as a standard Kart since Mario Kart: Super Circuit .
  • This game is one of the only games of the Mario Kart franchise to have three items inside a single item box.
  • In beta version, emeralds were used instead of rubies .
  • This is the second game where Lakitu is not present in the pre-race countdown.
  • S to S+6 ranks are only available for Gold Pass users.
  • This game features the most clone characters in the entire Mario Kart series.
  • 3DS Rainbow Road averts this as the final lap music is taken from Mario Kart 7 .
  • Before Holiday Tour (December 2022) it used to be raised to 5 Semitones.
  • Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only non-city course that didn't return as a retro track in the Booster Course Pass of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe .

Mario Kart Tour: tricks, tips, and how collect all the characters and karts

Here's how to master Mario Kart Tour's gameplay

Mario Kart Tour

Mario Kart Tour is a mobile version of the popular and long-running Mario Kart series, released in late 2019 for Android and iOS smartphones, and it's proven popular ever since.

The main Mario Kart Tour game is centered around the race seasons mode, which offers a variety of incentives to keep you coming back to race for each new season. While you don't race other real players live in this mode, your device will still require an internet connection so you can play.

Since launch, an online multiplayer mode has also been added to Mario Kart Tour, so you can compete in live online races against other drivers from around the world.

The basics How to win races and earn points How to win multiplayer How to collect gold coins How to collect rubies How to collect Grand Stars How to unlock all characters, karts and gliders How to level up your gear Should you buy Gold Pass?

Plus, the selection of playable characters, karts, gliders and courses have been greatly expanded since launch, providing you with new ways and places to race.

While Mario Kart Tour is centered around a very simple premise - winning races - it can get very complicated. There are three different types of currency that do different things, the characters, karts and gliders have different stats that you can improve in different ways, and there are a few mechanics in the races that can make the difference between winning and losing.

We've come up with this comprehensive list detailing the different parts of the game,  helping you work out how to win races both online and offline, how to collect and spend the different types of in-game currency, and how to bulk out your collection of characters, karts and gliders, as well as level them all up.

Hopefully soon, you'll be decked out with all the best kit, winning every race and racking up huge amounts of points.

What is Mario Kart Tour? The basics, explained

mario bros kart tour

Most of what you'll be doing in Mario Kart Tour is racing. You'll be charging around courses collecting items and coins, and (hopefully) overtaking your opponents, while finding shortcuts, using those items to get ahead and taunting your digital opponents.

Most races are against AI bots (albeit ones with player-sounding names), but after Mario Kart Tour's launch a multiplayer mode was added that lets you play against real people online.

Outside the races, the game is organized by Tours which last two weeks. These dictate the theme of lots of the courses as well as any new character costumes and karts available during the season.

Each tour is a series of 'Cups', each one consisting of three core races and a bonus race. At the start of the tour only some of the Cups are available to play, but one new one opens each day up to a total of 12.

If you just want to drive cartoonish karts and races around cartoonish tracks, you can ignore Tours and Cups, and many of the intricate details of character levels, score multipliers and the currencies too, but if you want to experience all facets of the game, and collect all the characters and pieces of gear, it's worth playing through the Tours.

How to win races and earn loads of points

There are some key things to remember in order to win your Mario Kart Tour races.

Firstly, learn how to drift. This is an invaluable skill that lets you turn corners quicker and earn small boosts as you do, and when you get really good you can use drifting to quickly shift to the side to pick up coins and item boxes. 

Drifting is key

When you're drifting, look at your tires - a blue flame will appear, when you let go, you'll get a small boost forward - gold and purple flames respectively will give you longer charges, but you have to drift for longer to get them.

You can't fall off the map in Mario Kart Tour, so feel free to drift more aggressively than you otherwise would. You can drift quicker by moving your finger nearer to the side of the screen you're drifting too - this'll help you earn boost quicker, but you'll turn the corner faster too.

Moving your finger the other way will be good if you're turning a wider corner (or aren't turning a corner, just drifting cleverly to build boost), as it stops you turning as quickly.

Next, you can easily get a boost when you're starting by holding down the screen on the countdown when '2' appears. Long time Mario Kart series fans will know this already as it's a stalwart feature of the games, and it's really good for starting the race ahead of everyone else (except in later CCs or multiplayer where everyone else does it too).

Learn how to earn boosts, and where they are on each track, as they can help you get ahead. Jumps, however minor, will give you boosts, as will drifting, certain areas of floor (shown by arrows pointing forwards), and some rewards in item boxes.

Finally, be smart about shortcuts and ramps off the side of the course, as not all of them will actually help you. 

Many will actually slow you down in order to get to them, like ramps in grassy areas, so only approach these if you have a boost to get over the slow patch, and some are actually longer detours that offer more coins or item boxes instead. If coming first is your goal, usually following the track is ideal - but sometimes you don't want to win.

Points are key in Mario Kart Tour

In Mario Kart Tour winning isn't the whole point of each race - but it is the most fun part of it. You see, you're given a score after each race that takes into account three things - the points of your character and gear (these can be leveled up, which we'll explore later on), what position you came in the race, and how many points you earned through tricks in the race.

Position is easy - you get more points for winning than you do coming second place, and more for second than third, and so on. The amount of points you get for coming each position depends on your level and what CC - what difficulty of race - you're in. 

50CC is pretty slow and easy, and thus the points are lower, 100CC is medium difficulty and speed, and 150CC is hardest and fastest, with more points awarded as a result. When you get Gold Pass, you can play 200CC too.

Your gear is something that's predetermined, based on which character, kart and glider you choose, and what points level they're at. Don't worry, we'll explain all about Base Points later on.

Finally, there are Bonus Points which are points you earn over the course of the race. There are many actions that earn these like collecting coins, hitting opponents with items and drifting well - the Mario Wiki has a more succinct breakdown - and if you pick the right kart you'll get a multiplier on these. 

You can get combos during the race if you earn Bonus Points for different things in a row, which is a really great way to collect more points, and the glider you pick can make the combo even more effective.

Together your Bonus Points, Base Points and Position Points will create your score for each course, which is a way of comparing your skills to your friends. You also want to get points because this score will reward you some extra coins (one for each thousand points) and Grand Stars, depending on how well you performed.

Mario Kart Tour: how to win in multiplayer

Points work the same way in multiplayer as they do in the offline game, and you should utilize similar tactics to win, but there are some extra things to bear in mind.

First, drifting isn't just important in online multiplayer - it's vital. Everyone does it, and you generally won't have a chance at winning if you aren't a master at it.

When you're playing 'offline' you can generally use items whenever you want, because there are so many other racers you're bound to hit one, but there are often fewer players in a multiplayer race, so it's worth being clever about when you use items.

Only throw a red shell if there's definitely someone ahead of you, and if you're first try and save a banana until someone's directly behind you. It's always worth saving an item to act as your shield as well, because most of the time if someone attacks you, it'll bounce off an item you have in reserve.

What are gold coins and how do you collect them?

mario bros kart tour

Coins are the basic currency in Mario Kart Tour, and you'll be spending them in the shop on new characters, karts and gliders. Generally basic karts and gliders cost 500 coins, while characters cost 800, and that price goes up for gold or purple-tier as well as rarer pieces of gear. Coins can be collected in a variety of ways, but many of them are pretty slow.

Firstly, you can collect physical coins in races, and generally you'll pick up between five and 15 depending on the course. You lose coins if you're hit, so try and make sure that doesn't happen much, though this works for your opponents too so if you play aggressively you can pick more up. 

In addition, as we've already said, you get a course bonus based on points, though this won't net you many coins.

Each 'Cup' in the game consists of three levels and a bonus round with different rules - some of these bonus rounds can be particularly lucrative for picking up coins, so always make sure to do them.

Leveling up is an easy way to get coins in Mario Kart Tour, as you tend to get 100 coins every time you level up in the game. This will happen naturally as you play, and will keep your bank account getting bigger.

Another way of getting 100-coin jackpots is by completing challenges (you can find these from the menu) as when you complete a line of the multiplayer or standard challenges, you'll get a 100-coin combo care package. 

When you're playing online, if you ever find yourself waiting around for other players to join, you're actually slowly amassing coins - look at the animation at the bottom, as this tells you how many you've earned. You can get up to 100 a day just through waiting for online games.

Finally, Coin Rush is a special mode accessed in the shop where you play a race as Gold Mario, picking up as many coins as possible, and if you play well you can amass upwards of 300 coins just from the race. 

To play this mode, you need to spend rubies, the second form of currency, which we'll look at next.

What are rubies and how do you collect them?

mario bros kart tour

Rubies are Mario Kart Tour's premium currency, and they're much harder to acquire, but they have a bigger variety of uses. 

You can use them to play Coin Rush and launch the Peach Pipe to win a random selection of characters, karts and gliders (this is basically a lootbox), and this latter method is the best for getting new gear.

Rubies (or gems, as some call them) are generally hard to acquire, but you can easily buy them if you want. This is what 'premium currency' tends to mean in mobile gaming, and if you're enjoying Mario Kart Tour you can put money in to it to get rubies for the Peach Pipe. Saying that, there are some ways of getting them in-game too.

The best way of winning rubies is through the weekly rankings. Each week, a certain cup will play host to a ranking, where you'll be lumped with 20 strangers, and ranked by how many points you get in the three races of the cup. The person with the most points overall gets 20 rubies, second place gets 15, third gets 10 and players 4-6 all get five.

If you're good at the game you can get loads of rubies easily this way, however depending on your performance you get bumped into higher tiers, competing with better players, so each week it'll be harder to win that top spot.

There are other ways to get rubies though. One is through challenges, as completing these will net you one, two or three rubies depending on the challenge, and these will slowly add up.

Finally, you can get rubies as a reward for earning Grand Stars in each tour. The Grand Stars you earn in each tour slowly earn you reward boxes as well as access to free Peach Pipe uses, and sometimes these boxes can get you some rubies. Want to know more about Grand Stars? Well good, because that's the next section of this article.

What are Grand Stars and how do you collect them?

mario bros kart tour

When you're on the Mario Kart Tour menu, you can see your coins and rubies at the top but you can't see your grand stars, so some players don't realize they're actually a key part of the rewards you get as part of a Tour.

On the main Tour menu, if you scroll along past the cups, you'll see various Tour Gift icons and Pipes, each one with a figure of grand stars next to it. As you play the Tours, and collect stars, you'll earn some of these, though it's worth pointing out looking at these figures on the reward icons is the only way you can figure out how many stars you've actually got.

It's not too hard to collect Grand Stars when you work out what they are and how to collect them. The main way of getting them is in each race, as you'll earn up to five depending on how many points you score, although three is the max in bonus levels. 

Generally if you don't lose horribly, you can get three or four stars per level with the gear you start the game with, but to reach that fifth star you'll need a fair mix of skill and top-tier gear. You can replay races once you get better gear to improve your scores.

You can collect one Grand Star per day by completing a daily challenge, which you'll be notified of when you turn the app on each morning. One challenge appears each day, though you can store up to three, but then you’ll need to complete one to get any more.

Finally, some of the challenges reward Grand Stars, not rubies - these are the Tour Challenges, which reset every time the tour changes. You'll probably collect a fair few of these naturally over the course of a tour, but if not you can check them out from the menu to find which you missed. It's worth pointing out half the challenges only unlock after the tour has been running for a week, so keep checking back to the app.

How to collect all the characters, karts and gliders in Mario Kart Tour

mario bros kart tour

Now you've worked out how to collect all the different forms of currency, it's time to look at how you can collect as many characters, karts and gliders as possible, so you can get more points and in turn win more races and collect more coins.

The reason you'll want plenty of different types of gear - well, other than so you can play as your favorites - is because each one has a few 'favored' race tracks, and the higher-level pieces of gear have more. Using the optimal piece of gear can transform your racing experience.

A character will offer you three items instead of one from an item box on their favored courses, and two items in a selection of other courses. Karts will give you a 1.5x multiplier on bonus points on some courses and a 2x multiplier on their favored ones. 

Gliders will give you 2x combo bonus for some courses, and a more lenient time restriction between tricks before your combo is dropped, and on some others they'll offer you 3x bonus and an even longer combo-time boost.

The easiest way to collect gear is to buy them with real money - certain timely karts, characters and gliders can be bought in bundles, which sometimes include rubies too, and this can be the quickest way to get rarer items. You can earn plenty of things through gameplay though, so you don't always need to spend real cash.

One of the best ways to get gear is through Peach Pipes - when you spend 5 rubies you get a random character, kart or glider, though you can spend 45 rubies to get 10 spins - we'd recommend saving up your rubies to be able to do this, as that works out as you getting one for free.

The other way to buy items is through the main store, which lets you buy them with gold coins, though the prices can be a little steep, especially for higher-tier items.

When you start playing Mario Kart Tour, you're only allowed to see one row of store items at once (so one character, one glider, and one kart), but when you reach level 7, then 12, you unlock a second and third row. We'd recommend saving your money for then, so you can see more of your options, and also because these subsequent rows tend to offer rarer items.

The items in the shop change daily, but given the huge number of characters, karts and gliders in the game, it'll take you a long time to unlock them all, especially given the price. 

How to improve characters, karts and gliders

mario bros kart tour

Characters, karts and gliders have two different metrics to show how well they perform - a score, which indicates how many points you get per race just for choosing it, and a level, which functions as a form of multiplier for bonus points in races.

There's only one way to improve the level, that second stat, and that's by getting duplicate pieces of gear in the shop or peach pipes. Since the former is random, you may sometimes feel irked that you picked a duplicate instead of getting an entirely new piece of gear, so the level up and subsequent point multiplier might make that a little bit less galling.

It's easy to improve the base score of a character, kart or glider in Mario Kart Tour. Simply using the gear in a race will grant it some experience points which help it increase levels, so a trusty kart or your favored character can quickly become a high level powerhouse.

If you've just drawn a new super-rare character but they’re a much lower level than your favorites, you can use vouchers to level them up without using them. These Tickets, as they're called, can be gained in a huge variety of ways, including daily log-in bonuses, tour rewards, challenge rewards and more.

Using Tickets on a piece of gear will grant it some experience points, so if you use a few you can quickly use them to get your new character, kart or glider to a high level. 

It's worth pointing out there's a max base level dictated by which piece of equipment it is (characters can have more than karts or gliders) and the rarity (purple items have a higher limit than gold, which has a higher limit than the base pieces of kit).

When you have a top-level purple item, especially a top-level character, kart and glider all in use at once, you're going in to races with 2,800 base points already, which will ensure you plenty of grand stars and gold coins, and you'll get even more if any of those have high levels from duplicates.

What is the Gold Pass and should I buy it?

Mario Kart Tour has a season-pass-style item called the Gold Pass, which you can buy monthly if you really want to get the most out of the game. It gives you a few extra rewards and unlocks a new game mode.

Gold Pass gives you extra gift rewards in tours, including sometimes gold-tier and purple-tier character, karts and gliders, as well as extra rubies - frequent players will find it a lucrative way of boosting their gear count.

A new round of challenges is available to Gold Pass members too, which gives you an extra way of earning grand stars to help you get those extra rewards.

Finally, the Gold Pass unlocks 200CC mode, which is a faster and harder version of racing which ensures you more position points. 

If you play Mario Kart Tour frequently and are invested in getting as many characters, karts and gliders as possible, Gold Pass will likely help you get them faster, and let you enjoy them more. 

However if you just like to pick up Mario Kart Tour for some fun racing action from time-to-time, you might not feel the need to get Gold Pass.

It’s worth pointing out there's a two-week free trial for Gold Pass so if you're not sure whether it's for you, you can test it out for free.

Mario Bros. Tour

The Mario Bros. Tour was the twelfth tour of Mario Kart Tour , which began on February 26, 2020 and ended on March 10, 2020. It introduced a new Mario Circuit course, RMX Mario Circuit 1, as well as variants of Mario and Luigi in outfits based on their appearances and artwork for older games such as Donkey Kong (for Mario) and Super Mario Bros. 2 , and similar to their appearances in the three DIC Mario cartoons, respectively. Additionally, for the first time, Mario, Luigi, and two Super karts called the Super 1 and Dasher II were made available as the first Super spotlight items. This is also the first tour to have only 50 pipe pulls in a pipe rather than the usual 100. The end date of the Mario Bros. Tour also marked Mario Day. Despite the tour being themed around RMX Mario Circuit 1, 3DS Mario Circuit acts as the tour’s signature course. The menu's background featured the hills and the block formation from World 1-1 as landmarks for this tour.

Mario y sus amigos te esperan este verano en el Nintendo Switch Tour

La tradicional gira estival de Nintendo, que recorrerá más de 2.500 km y visitará 19 ciudades españolas, arranca el 1 y 2 de julio en Cádiz

Siesta, playa, un helado… y un rato de videojuegos con la familia o los amigos. ¿Existe un plan mejor para una tarde de verano? A partir del 1 de julio, 19 ciudades costeras españolas recibirán la visita del Nintendo Switch Tour, y podrán disfrutar de un plan after-playa divertido, gratuito, perfecto para disfrutar en compañía y apto para todos los públicos (torpes a los mandos incluidos). La ya tradicional gira veraniega de Nintendo tendrá este año más etapas que nunca, y arrancará el 1 y 2 de julio en Cádiz. Las carpas, situadas en la céntrica plaza de San Antonio, empezarán su actividad a las seis de la tarde, con 36 puestos de juego, y estarán abiertas hasta las 12 de la noche, para aprovechar las horas más frescas del día. Los gaditanos podrán jugar a títulos como Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Princess Peach: Showtime! o Nintendo Switch Sports.

Podrás probar gratis Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Princess Peach: Showtime! o Nintendo Switch Sports

Los grandes protagonistas del tour serán Mario y sus amigos: Luigi, Peach, Toad, Daisy, Yoshi… Personajes que, con casi 40 años de historia, son un icono mundial de diversión amable para varias generaciones: desde los que disfrutaron de las aventuras de Super Mario en Game Boy hasta los que han descubierto al personaje en Nintendo Switch o incluso en la gran pantalla. En las carpas de Nintendo, los asistentes podrán acompañar a la princesa Peach en la misión de salvar el teatro Esplendor, en Princess Peach; Showtime!; ayudar al cobardica Luigi a recuperar los fragmentos de la Luna Oscura (¡ojo con los fantasmas!) en Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD ; o elegir su personaje preferido del universo Mario en las plataformas de Super Mario Bros Wonder o en las carreras de coches de Mario Kart 8 Deluxe . Y, cuando llegue el momento de despedirse, seguro que todos, tengan la edad que tengan, disfrutan haciéndose una foto de recuerdo en la icónica tubería de Mario, que también viajará por toda la costa española.

Los juegos de Mario son perfectos para disfrutar en compañía, gracias a su carácter luminoso y amable, sus modos multijugador y sus facilidades para que los más novatos puedan disfrutarlos desde el primer momento: Super Mario Bros. Wonder , por ejemplo, cuenta con personajes invulnerables a los enemigos, y Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tiene un “modo volante” para pilotar los coches de forma más intuitiva. Eso sí, también están llenos de retos y sorpresas ocultas para que los más hábiles a los mandos encuentren desafíos a su altura.

Además de las distintas opciones del universo Mario, los visitantes del Nintendo Switch Tour podrán disfrutar de Nintendo Switch Sports , un divertido título de simulación deportiva apto para novatos y expertos y perfecto para compartir con la familia o los amigos. Este juego no requiere aprender complicadas combinaciones de botones: basta con imitar con el cuerpo los raquetazos, balonazos o estocadas para que los sensores de los mandos Joy-Con trasladen a la pantalla dichos movimientos. Además, a lo largo del verano llegará a Nintendo Switch Sports un nuevo deporte, el baloncesto. Con la incorporación de esta disciplina, el título contará en total con ocho modalidades deportivas diferentes.

¿Qué ciudades visitará el Nintendo Switch Tour 2024?

Después de inaugurar la gira en Cádiz, las carpas de Nintendo continuarán su itinerario por la costa andaluza, visitando ciudades como Conil, El Puerto de Santa María (ambos en Cádiz) o Málaga. El tour se dirigirá después a otras localidades, como Mazarrón, Santiago de la Ribera (ambos en Murcia), Peñíscola (Castellón), Gandía (Valencia), Cambrils (Tarragona) Castro Urdiales (Cantabria), Avilés (Asturias) o Vilagarcía de Arousa (Pontevedra) *, entre otros: en total, un recorrido de más de 2.500 km para que, un verano más, juguemos todos.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD , released worldwide for Nintendo Switch on June 27th, 2024, is an HD port of the 3DS game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon , originally released in 2013. This HD port uses the international title given to the 3DS version in regions other than North America and South Korea, "Luigi's Mansion 2".

  • 1.1 filemap.txt
  • 2.1 Mission Select
  • 2.2 Progress Debug
  • 3.1.1 room_treasureroom
  • 3.2.1 room_secretroom1

  • 4.1 Convergence Plane
  • 5.1 buildinfo.ini
  • 6.1 UseTestLevels

This section documents all the new files present in Luigi's Mansion 2 HD .

filemap.txt

This file seemingly identifies the location of all files in the game's internal file system. The text present in this file can be seen through the directory below.

Unused Layouts

Found in RomFS\art\fe folder are two unused debugging screen layouts. To see these in-game, simply replace one of the used layout .data and .dict files.

Mission Select

MLS.png

debugselectmissions.data seems to be a layout for a simple menu, containing a list of missions. The mission names don't seem to load.

Progress Debug

ProgressDebug.png

progressiondebug.data appears to be a menu allowing you to set some completion parameters.

Unused Rooms

Gloomy manor, room_treasureroom.

A complex 3D Maze found in RomFS\art\levels\mansiona\room_treasureroom . Present is a chest, which awards you a modest amount of money, and a spring pad that launches you back to the beginning. Notably, this level has had its model updated since its 3DS iteration and now features more detail, such as extra foliage - evidently the remake developers didn't know whether this was unused or not and decided to err on the side of caution.

MAM0Bonus.png

Haunted Towers

Room_secretroom1.

A barely-started bonus challenge found in RomFS\art\levels\mansionb\room_secretroom1 also returns from its 3DS iteration, seemingly unchanged. The teleporter still crashes if interacted with.

MAM0Portal.png

room_secretroomtemplate

An even more incomplete version of the above, with just the outer walls being present.

LM2HD-BonusRoomTemplate.png

Unused Textures

Convergence plane.

Global 4.png

A leftover from the 3DS version, found in RomFS\art\global.data is this texture reading "Convergence Plane" several times over, seemingly with an almost unnoticeable difference in sampling between the Switch version and the 3DS'. Their resolutions, compared to each other, are the same.

Configuration Files

Located in \ini is one file which seems to contain general ROM information.

buildinfo.ini

Has what would likely be the last build time and date.

Debug Features

Just like in the 3DS game, these can be accessed by adding a dict.ini file to the romfs/ini folder and adding the appropriate switch.

The switches: Skip Frontend , Skip Frontend Level , Skip Frontend Mission , King Boo Hack , Always Unlock All Missions , Smoke Test, Smoke Test Duration , Custom Level , BootLanguage all work just like they did on the 3DS.

UseTestLevels

If set to true, the game loads a Level Select. This didn't work in the 3DS version, but now it does.

The 23 Best Multiplayer Games for iPhone

Hop online to play with or against your friends across a variety of genres

Below, you’ll find a variety of suggestions covering everything from the most popular and top-rated to more obscure (but no less beloved) titles.

All of the games in this list have been ordered alphabetically.

What We Like

Suspect or backstab friends and strangers, across several platforms.

Lots of options to mix-up your games.

Ongoing support with new maps and cosmetics.

What We Don't Like

Requires a minimum of four players.

Getting disconnected may prevent you from joining other games for a bit.

Can be difficult to join up with specific people.

This game became a sensation and went viral (and was picked as an Editor’s Choice) for good reason. Balancing between performing various tasks to fix your crashed spaceship and figuring out who may be an impostor can be enjoyably tense. Success or failure is often tied to how well you can spot a liar (or lie yourself) and convince a crowd.

Among Us! may not be the juggernaut it once was, but it’s still quite popular, with plenty of players lined up for games and an ongoing stream of updates. You aren’t limited to playing with other iPhone users, as games work across console and PC platforms, too.

Download Among Us!

Ascension: Deckbuilding Game

Fantastic card artwork.

A fun and satisfying deck building gameplay system.

Several card bundles and expansion packs to purchase and add.

Interface looks rather basic.

Can’t play online without a Playdek account.

Watching opponent turn animations can drag.

Face off against one to three other players—or a mixture of computer-controlled bots—in a methodical (but not slow) strategic game of cards. What makes deckbuilders like Ascension so interesting is that all players start with the same number and types of cards. It’s how those cards are used to “draft” more powerful cards as they appear that make the difference.

Ascension walks a fine line between being deep and approachable. It doesn’t take long to learn but can take much longer to master, and that’s just the base game. Several other expansions with entirely new sets of cards can be purchased separately to add even more nuance and strategy to your games.

Download Ascension: Deckbuilding Game

Block Fortress

A satisfying blend of wave defense and sandbox building strategy.

Can save base designs for future matches.

Offers both co-op and versus modes.

Maps are relatively small.

You have to delete and rebuild objects instead of moving them once placed.

Hasn’t been updated in several years.

Block Fortress does show its age, but it continues to be a fun and addicting combination of sandbox building and enemy wave survival. Find a spot for your base on one of several randomized maps depicting different kinds of terrain, build up your defenses, and then hope they’ll hold.

As with similar types of games, you usually start with meager resources but can earn more the longer you last. Then, use those resources to build, upgrade, and repair your defenses to increase your odds as difficulty increases. But don’t forget to watch the backs of others if you’re playing co-op—or keep your head on a swivel in player-versus-player.

Download Block Fortress

Lots of characters to choose from, including some crossover cameos.

Beefy player community so you won’t wait long for a match.

Supports cross-play for multiple platforms.

Matches will sometimes lag.

Ranked matchmaking could use rebalancing.

Can’t share account unlocks across platforms despite cross-play support.

If you enjoy multiplayer fighting or brawling games, consider Brawlhalla . This platform fighter may scratch a bit of that Smash Bros. itch with its one-on-one, two-on-two, or four-player free-for-all ranked modes. Or one of several other fighting and party game-style options.

There are plenty of maps and playable characters, with a roster of free fighters that changes once a week. Or you can save up gold to permanently unlock the characters you prefer—including the occasional franchise crossover.

Download Brawlhalla

Bug Heroes 2

Multiple cooperative and competitive game modes.

Lots of specialized characters to unlock and create interesting team-ups with.

Still plenty of fun after all these years.

Unlocking new characters requires a bit of grinding.

Takes a while to gather enough scrap.

Despite ongoing updates the visuals are showing their age.

You can’t go wrong with any titles from this company, but Bug Heroes 2 holds up surprisingly well even among Foursaken Media’s quality library. Games typically involve picking a pair of bugs and defending your base from ongoing waves of attackers, though both your base and bugs can be upgraded over time.

You’ll find many unique characters to unlock and use—each with its own stats and special skills. Since you can only choose two per match, there are many synergies to experiment with. Similarly, all playable bugs have extensive skill trees that can be upgraded during a match to adapt to all sorts of situations, ensuring that no two games play exactly the same.

Download Bug Heroes 2

Clash Royale

Different maps encourage different strategies.

Loads of cards to unlock and upgrade.

Gameplay that rewards quick tactical thinking.

Lots of waiting to open chests.

Gives paying players a big advantage.

Matchmaking balance can be questionable.

While it shares a similar visual identity as its originator, Clash Royale takes a different angle on quick, competitive multiplayer for mobile. Rather than building out bases and defenses, successful matches require strategic use of cards from a custom deck—and a bit of luck when drawing them.

Squaring off against other players in real-time means you’ll have to strategize quickly and improvise just as fast. However, it’s important not to neglect your cards, either. You’ll need to be ready to upgrade them when available or swap new ones in to stay competitive.

Download Clash Royale

Diablo Immortal

Looks great on the small screen.

Clever control adaptation for touch displays.

Plenty to do for new and casual players.

Combat can feel repetitive once progression slows.

Menu and item text can be a bit too small.

New installs take up a lot of time and storage space.

Diablo Immortal doesn’t stray far from the popular franchise in terms of gameplay—in fact, aside from the wait timers and premium purchase incentives, you likely wouldn’t see a difference. Expect a lot of action RPG fighting with a large bestiary of creatures, several unique character class skills, and a lot of loot—like, so much loot.

Playing with friends requires everyone to be part of the same server, but even if nobody is around, you can group up with other players while looking for trouble. If you beat the campaign and get tired of loot grinding, there are always PvP Battlegrounds where you can take on other players.

Download Diablo Immortal

Genshin Impact - Lantern Rite

Looks good and runs well.

Approachable touch controls.

Lots of character variety.

Slow to start.

Randomness of the “gacha” elements can be a sore point.

A bit of a memory hog.

Genshin Impact mixes the bones of an RPG with a fantasy open world, high production values, and tons of voice acting to create one of the most popular action RPGs in the mobile space. Beyond looking good and playing well, the mechanics are nuanced, with elemental attacks and special skills providing a fair bit of nuance.

Of course, there’s also the “gacha” element that allows you to randomly draw for other characters to use (of varying rarities). Each character has its advantages, drawbacks, and upgrade paths. And, of course, you can team up with friends across other platforms to take on challenges, bosses, etc.

Download Genshin Impact

Goofy family-friendly charades fun.

Works well with a group in a variety of situations.

Can also be played over FaceTime.

Category selection is limited unless you pay to unlock more.

Sometimes prone to crashing or a blank screen.

Occasionally misunderstands commands.

20 Questions isn’t necessarily the game most people will jump at the chance to play. But if you spice it up with friends, a timer, and a random (but somewhat limited) pool of words, it becomes an incredibly popular mobile distraction.

Hold the iPhone up to your forehead (screen out), and it will display a word, which everyone else then has to help you guess as fast as possible without explicitly saying what it is. You can play in person or over FaceTime, with many additional topics you can add via in-app purchase if you want to spice things up.

Download Heads Up!

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Easy to learn and play.

Lots of cards that provide plenty of strategic options.

Still has a very active player base.

Time between turns can vary based on the opponent.

Occasionally long load times.

Takes a while to build up formidable decks without paying.

Hearthstone is another popular entry, spun-off from the even more popular MMO World of Warcraft . This card game pits you against other players one-on-one (though a 2v2 Battlegrounds Duos is slated to release in 2024) strategic card duels where wins are a matter of strategy and a bit of luck. Or you can team up with others to take on difficult raid bosses.

No matter the mode you choose, the goal is to win matches to earn cards. Then, you can use those cards to improve your deck and win even more matches. The streamlined gameplay system keeps matches relatively fast while encouraging strategic thinking (and planning).

Download Hearthstone

Looks and plays great.

Plenty of opportunities to upgrade and customize your knight.

More strategy to the combat than you might expect.

Energy use gets more limiting at higher levels.

An awful lot of “currencies” to juggle.

In-app purchase prices are a bit high.

Knighthood ’s multiplayer isn’t quite as direct or involved as many other examples on this list, but that doesn’t make it any less compelling. Once your rage knight progresses to a certain point, you can join a guild and help it grow by completing game-related tasks and teaming up against raid bosses. Or if you aren’t interested in co-op, there’s always the Arena, where you can square off against other players’ knights (along with their squad of heroes and minions) for special rewards.

Within that framework is some simple but somewhat tactical turn-based combat with your knight juggling weapon strikes for damage and gauntlet punches to build up rage. Attack enough, and your heroes can jump in for extra effects. Saving up enough rage allows them to perform a powerful (usually screen-filling) attack. That’s all. You can earn, buy, find, scrap, and upgrade without getting into the various equipment.

Download Knighthood

Mario Kart Tour

A really good looking Mario Kart on mobile.

Touch and tilt controls work really well.

Adds special challenges to mix up the gameplay a bit.

No external controller support.

Race earnings get cut off once you hit a certain limit.

The costs to buy new characters and karts can be very steep.

If you enjoy Mario Kart's cartoonishly arcade-like racing but want to play it on your phone (or are new to the whole thing and want to try it out), Mario Kart Tour has you covered. Race with up to seven friends or other players worldwide, zipping around classic courses and tracks inspired by real-world locations.

You don’t necessarily have to compete for first place. Multiple modes, challenges, and settings can mix things up quite a bit, though unlocking more characters and karts can be very time-consuming.

Download Mario Kart Tour

Marvel Snap

Great card art and high production value overall.

Card effects often cleverly fit with the characters they portray.

New seasons popping up regularly with new events and cards.

Some powerful cards are only available via limited time events.

Competitive play tends to favor those who pay for powerful cards.

Matchmaking difficulty is inconsistent.

Marvel Snap is a multiplayer strategy card game that lets you assemble a deck full of your favorite (or most effective) Marvel characters—heroes and villains alike. Pit your 12-card deck and card combos against other players in quick matches that work well for on-the-go play.

Aside from the inherent strategy of setting up your deck of characters, you’ll also have to account for different level conditions and react on the fly to your opponent’s moves. And if you’re feeling confident, you can use the titular Snap mechanic to potentially double your earnings if you win. Or double your losses if you don’t.

Download Marvel Snap

Join or host persistent worlds to explore with friends.

Smart use of the touch screen to adapt controls.

Tons of options and add-ons to keep players engaged.

Small phone screens make spotting some details more difficult.

Doesn’t always remember account settings between platforms.

Lots to do but still mostly self-directed.

Minecraft can be… a lot. It’s certainly easy to get started punching trees to gather wood to make tools and crafting stations and then gather more materials to make better tools and crafting stations. You can also start building with unlimited resources in Creative mode if that’s more your thing.

Its mostly self-directed sandbox nature can be its greatest draw or biggest turn-off, depending on your preferences. Hop into a server with friends; this aspect can get better or worse as you all work together to build a fort and explore the randomly generated world. You can also compete with each other to see who can build the prettiest base, create a battle arena and have duels, or just hang out and chat for a while.

Download Minecraft

Pokémon UNITE

5-on-5 team battles using Pokémon you train and evolve.

Lots of Pokémon offering a few different play styles.

Cross-platform play with Switch users.

Matchmaking is sometimes lopsided.

Players who pay tend to have an advantage.

Pokémon Unite answers the question of what it would be like to mix Nintendo’s monumentally popular franchise with real-time team battles. It’s a very specific question that nobody was asking, but the result has still become very popular.

Unlike previous titles, this 5-on-5 multiplayer brawl puts each player in charge of a single Pokémon they control directly. Everyone has to cooperate to score more points than the other team (or keep them from scoring), with plenty of opportunities for different Pokémons’ skills to work off each other. Also, you can dress them up in cute outfits.

Download Pokémon UNITE

PUBG Mobile

A solid example of the battle royale genre.

Still receiving updates with new maps and modes.

An extremely active player community.

Doesn’t support external controllers.

Can lag when playing against someone else with a bad connection.

Several player reports of hackers ruining the experience.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds could be considered the Gobots to Fortnite’s Transformers in terms of overall popularity these days (doubly so, considering it came out first). But it’s still going strong today—and its direct competition doesn’t have an official release on iOS, which helps.

See if you can outlast up to 99 other players in an ever-shrinking combat zone, picking up weapons and equipment wherever you can and hoping nobody else sees you first. Or team up in one of the cooperative modes to see if your squad can claim that coveted chicken dinner for themselves. There’s even an Infection mode that pits zombies against humans, with both sides aiming to wipe out (or infect) the other.

Download PUBG Mobile

An overwhelming variety of games types to play.

Virtually limitless amounts of user-created content.

Can join friends across PC and Xbox as well.

Community incentivizes spending real money on games and items.

Prone to connection (and disconnection) issues.

Several user reports of hacking and scamming attempts.

Roblox is a difficult genre to pin down because it’s really more of a gaming platform . Players (primarily but not exclusively children) can jump online to play with friends, hang out, or even make their own games if they’re up to the task.

It can function as a virtual chatroom, with customized player avatars gathering in a digital rendition of a physical space to chat about whatever comes to mind. It can be a place to shop, with tons of cosmetic items available (for purchase) from the in-game catalog. Or it can be one of many different kinds of games, all created by other players, from action to strategy and solo to cooperative.

Download Roblox

Enjoyable and chaotic free-for-all Snake gameplay.

Requires some strategic thinking and timing.

Can sometimes win a new look for your snake.

Mobile multiplayer is currently limited to asynchronous score competitions only.

One-note gameplay may start to get tiring after a while.

Occasionally intrusive ads.

If you’re familiar with the classic game Snake , in which you control a line that eats dots to score points and grow bigger (while trying not to crash into yourself), then you know Snake.io. Sort of.

This is very much the original game but far more chaotic. If a snake runs into another snake’s tail, they’re out, and they leave behind pellets everyone else can consume to grow bigger. After the initial rush for growth, matches become a tense game of outmaneuvering the opposition, tricking them into a crash, or sometimes just getting lucky. And if you manage to come out on top in any of the online events, you could win special cosmetics to fancy up your little carnivore tube.

Download Snake.io

Intense, madcap fun with friends.

Sells the “junker spaceship” theme with surprisingly little.

Can play locally or over the internet.

Isn’t much to look at.

All that shouting can get stressful.

Upgrades keep it fresh but require payment.

Spaceteam is… intense. A crew of two to eight people has to work together to keep their spaceship flying (and prevent catastrophic explosions), but everything is breaking at once. Everyone has different controls, but their instructions always appear on somebody else’s screen, and they do not pop up one at a time.

The longer tasks are left alone, the quicker the ship will meet its doom. However, it can be difficult to bark out directions when two or more people try to do the same simultaneously, which is why it can be such a fun (if stressful) party game. As long as you don’t go in expecting to ultimately win, it can be an absolute blast.

Download Spaceteam

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

Loads of beloved characters to unlock.

Team construction and skill use matter.

Covers all of the main films and shows.

Some character unlocks are practically impossible without cash.

Takes a bit too long for new features to open up.

Stat jumps in special events for newer players can be jarring.

There are undeniable similarities between Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and other “collect all your favorite franchise heroes” mobile games. Aside from the popularity of a galaxy far, far away, what keeps it going is its tactical approach to team management and combat.

So many characters from so much media—and time periods—can add their specializations to the squad and be upgraded to become even more powerful. Their skills can also work well with other specific abilities, giving you the incentive to play around with different team structures and combos. Then, pit your curated forces against other players in direct battles, raids, guild wars, and more.

Download Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

Lots to explore, build, and craft.

Offers more direction than similar sandbox games.

Boss fights and world events further mix things up.

Interface is crowded and a little clunky.

Aiming with the movement stick feels odd.

Tough to find the ideal camera zoom level.

Terraria is a side-scrolling survival game that drops you into a randomly generated world but gives you a bit more direction than just “survive.” However, that’s also your main priority.

You’ll have to gather materials to make tools and build a safe place to rest, then go out exploring to find more items and resources. Maybe go delving into dangerous caves for useful loot—but keep some light handy, or you might fall prey to the monsters that lurk in the darkness. And you can do it all cooperatively with up to six other people!

Download Terraria

It’s pocket-sized Warframe.

Plays fast and frantic, deliberate and stealthy, or both.

Still one of the most approachable free-to-play gaming models.

Plays better with a controller.

On-screen text is a bit too small.

Performance can be choppy.

Warframe has come a long way since 2013, spreading across most gaming platforms like the in-universe Infested faction. Of course, that also includes iOS. It doesn’t hurt that the game offers one of the least punishing free-to-play models on the market—though playing free still requires grinding.

There are a variety of missions and maps for you to take on alone or cooperatively, either stealthily sneaking through or wall-running through a hail of weapons fire. Or a mixture of both. Really, it’s up to you (and your team) how to approach each task and to decide how best to use the various skills and equipment your individual Warframes bring to the fight.

Download Warframe

XCOM: Enemy Within

Utilizes the single-player interface and gameplay well.

Soldier stat system rewards planning rather than grinding.

Can have multiple games running at once.

Not many active players anymore.

Waiting for the opponent’s turn can take a very long time.

No soldier progression between matches.

XCOM: Enemy Within builds off the original game while keeping many of its core elements intact—like the mixture of tactical combat and strategic base building and research. Now, with a time-sensitive resource (Meld) that requires taking bigger risks to acquire but rewarding you with powerful special upgrades and even mechanized troops.

Multiplayer takes a slightly different approach by axing the base building and research trees in favor of a point pool. Both players in a one-on-one match get the same points, and it’s up to them to decide how to distribute them. Different kinds of units (both human and alien) have different costs, along with the gear and stats you give them. So you’ll want to carefully fine-tune your team and think ahead about how they’ll work together, like a chess match, but you can preemptively change your pieces.

  • Mario Party: The Top 100

mario bros kart tour

It is the twenty-third game in the Mario Party series overall, as well as the third game in the series to be released for Nintendo 3DS. The game is a compilation of various minigames from prior home console Mario Party games, all of which have been redone with updated graphics, sound, and controls, and some of which have slightly altered rules from the original games and recycled music from other games. The game is compatible with local wireless play and Download Play, which allows up to four players. The game supports amiibo , which can be used in the Minigame Island mode or to unlock Minigame Packs. Being initially released approximately two months after its announcement, Mario Party: The Top 100 has one of the shortest announcement to release timelines of retail games in the entire Super Mario franchise .

Eatsa Pizza from Mario Party: The Top 100

Unlike other installments from the Mario Party series, which have a focus on boards and their gameplay, Mario Party: The Top 100 has a focus on the various minigames from home console entries, which serves akin to an extended minigame mode from previous installments. Mario Party: The Top 100 does not introduce any new minigames on its own, serving purely as a compilation for minigames from previous installments.

The minigames have players doing various activities in a short time limit, such as racing against opponents in a skating rink or platforming against rivals. Players use Nintendo 3DS capabilities to perform actions, such as tapping objects with the touch screen, blowing into the mic, or using the gyroscope to balance or steer objects, though most minigames use the traditional buttons and control stick format. The goal is to perform the best out of opponents within each minigame rule and controls, which are briefly explained prior to playing the minigame. Some minigames allow players to team up against opponents, either in symmetrical 2-on-2 minigames or asymmetrical 1-on-3 minigames, and some minigames have only two players competing against each other, called Duel minigames. Not limited to these general minigames are DK minigames, Bowser minigames, Extra minigames, and Puzzle minigames from previous installments, all labeled as Special minigames in this game.

The game is for four players only: if there are not enough human players, computer-controlled players fill up the slots. These computer players can be adjusted with difficulty levels from Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and the unlockable Master difficulty. There are colors for each player (P1 is red, P2 is blue, P3 is green, and P4 is yellow).

Other auxiliary game modes are included in this installment. They provide other ways to play minigames, such as playing through a randomized set of minigames in Minigame Island, or playing a fixed amount and type of minigames to set records in a Decathlon mode.

Mario Party: The Top 100 has a total of seven game modes.

100 Minigames

All 100 minigames can be selected and played on in this mode, similar to "Free Play" modes from previous games. Minigames can be sorted by game, type, or favorite status. Initially, players have access to only 55 minigames, most of them Free-for-All minigames. The rest of the minigames are unlocked through playing Minigame Island. Players can tag minigames as favorites to ease the process of selecting a minigame they wish to play in, thus creating their own pack. Players can create up to three favorite packs. The game also keeps track of how many times a particular minigame is played. When a minigame is completed, a player can opt to play again, return to the 100 minigames menu, return to the main menu, or play another randomly selected minigame that is unlocked.

Minigame Island

Minigame Island from Mario Party: The Top 100

Minigame Island is a single player mode, hosted by Toad , that first appeared in Mario Party . After players select their player character, they can select a computer-controlled teammate for 2-on-2 minigames: if chosen as a teammate, these characters do not appear as rivals. Players compete against computer-controlled rivals as they travel through four worlds. Minigames are in a set location, with the aesthetics of the area surrounding the space giving a clue to what minigame the player can play in; due to some worlds having grid-like branching paths, players can also play minigames in a certain order they wish or skip certain minigames altogether. In order to beat this mode, players need to best their rivals through minigames and retain their lives given at the beginning of the game from not placing fourth. Players do not have to win the minigame to progress through Minigame Island: simply playing the minigame opens up paths to other minigames. Once a Warp Pipe is reached, Toad asks the player to either continue or quit the game, and if players continue, they can access the next World by jumping into Warp Pipes. Gradually, CPU difficulty gets harder the more players advance through the mode.

When players receive first place in a minigame, they receive three Mini Stars and 10 coins. If they win against Bowser , Donkey Kong , or against another playable character in their respective minigames, they receive four Mini Stars; prior to entering World 4 , players face off against Toad himself in Slot-Car Derby with other CPU players. Players receive less Mini Stars when they place second and third, and performing the worst in the minigame loses a life. Earning Mini Stars from placing well in minigames unlocks certain Special type minigames. Players can earn lives when they receive 100 coins. Players can find Roulette Coin Blocks in the map (marked by an ! space) and can receive an amount of coins depending on what number they hit, though a ! space can also indicate that there is a Bowser, Duel, or DK type minigame. Minigames unlocked through this mode will be available in 100 Minigames. If players clear all minigames, they unlock a harder variation of the mode, which has more difficult CPU opponents participating in minigames and makes a first-place victory mandatory to progress. If players earn all 300 Mini Stars by placing first in all minigames, they unlock the Master difficulty for computer players.

Minigame Match

Minigame Match from Mario Party: The Top 100

Hosted by Toad, this game mode serves as the game's only board-type mode and plays similarly to Balloon Bash from the previous installment, Mario Party: Star Rush . Players travel around a small board, rolling the dice that dictates their movement. Prior to starting the game, players can set the number of turns the game has between ten and fifty, in multiples of five; games that have fewer turns end more quickly than games that contain more. All players also choose a minigame pack from which minigames during the game will be selected. Similar to Balloon Bash, players need to pop Star Balloons dotted across the board, as collecting the most stars is essential to winning the game. Star Balloons come at a price of ten coins, and if players cannot afford the star, they cannot receive the star. Once popped, Star Balloons respawn in another area of the board, giving other players opportunities to purchase them. Star Balloons can come in bundles of one, two, three, four, or five, with their prices adjusting depending on the amount offered. If players cannot afford all Star Balloons in a bundle upon collection, the rest of the balloons are discarded. Players can earn more coins by doing well in minigames, as well as by collecting them around the board and popping various Minigame Balloons . A 30-coin bonus can be earned if players pass by all three stamp spaces (Shy Guy, Koopa Troopa, and Goomba) on the board. Items return and assist players against their opponents: players can obtain items by landing on the random event "!" spaces, landing on ? Block spaces, or via purchasing them from Shy Guy Shops . When two players land on the same space as each other, they receive a "Tight Squeeze Bonus", awarding them one coin each. When the last five turns are reached , Toad gives a pity item to the player who is in last place. At the end of the game, three Bonus Stars are rewarded to players that met certain criteria, such as popping the fewest Star Balloons.

When a Minigame Balloon is popped, a minigame will be played at the end of the turn. The minigame is chosen by a roulette, with each player selecting one of the minigames from their chosen minigame pack. If a minigame has been played, it cannot be selected again until all the other minigames in that player's minigame pack have been played. As well, the player's portion of the roulette is larger if they were the one to pop a balloon or if a Lucky Card is used, increasing the chances of their minigame being selected. Finally, the player whose minigame was chosen earns double the coins from the minigame. If two of the same minigame was part of the roulette, if the minigame gets selected, the earnings are doubled.

Championship Battles

Championship Battles from Mario Party: The Top 100

Championship Battles is hosted by Toadette , and it has players setting off against rivals and other players using random minigames from a minigame pack, a concept first introduced in Mario Party 2 . Whichever player receives the best of three or five rounds wins the mode.

First introduced in Mario Party 5 , Decathlon has players playing a fixed number of set minigames in a set of either five or ten minigames against rivals and other players. The player earns more points depending on how well they completed the minigame rather than if they won, and the score in the minigame converts to points to the overall score. Players can also set a high score record in this mode, as well as viewing preset records, indicated by a character setting the record, with Mario setting the top score for both Decathlon types.

These are the minigames and their order in both Decathlon modes.

Players have access to all modes with both options, though in Minigame Match mode, Local Players can all have their favorite minigame packs chosen from a roulette while in Download Play mode, only the host can choose the pack they would wish to play with.

amiibo features

Mario Party: The Top 100 is compatible with all Super Mario related amiibo (except cards) in some modes. In Minigame Island mode, if players lose their last life, Toad asks the player if they want to scan an amiibo of the corresponding character to regain an extra life. Additionally, in Minigame Island, if players stand on a space with an amiibo icon, they can tap an amiibo to earn 10 coins. If a Goomba or Koopa Troopa stands on the amiibo space instead, players may tap a Goomba or Koopa Troopa amiibo respectively to earn a bonus 50 coins. Each compatible amiibo may be used only once per day.

If a Goomba or Koopa Troopa amiibo is scanned in the Minigame Pack selection screen in Minigame Match or Championship battles, players unlock the entire pack from the Goomba Minigame Pack or the Koopa Minigame Pack respectively.

Playable characters

Eight characters are playable. All of said characters are available from the start of the game, thus making Mario Party: The Top 100 the first non-arcade Mario Party game since Mario Party DS to not have any unlockable characters. Additionally, this game does not introduce any new playable characters to the Mario Party series, though players can use characters who are previously unavailable in prior Mario Party games, such as being able to use Rosalina in Mario Party minigames prior to her debut in Mario Party 10 .

Non-playable characters

Toad and Toadette are non-playable characters who serve as the game's hosts, while Bowser and Donkey Kong serve as NPCs for various minigames. The game's official website lists these characters as "Friendly Faces" and "Fierce Contenders" respectively.

Friendly Faces

Fierce contenders, other characters.

These characters are the various minor NPCs that populate the world and minigames. Some of these characters appear as primary obstacles in certain minigames such as the Penguins in Pushy Penguins while others appear as part of the background, such as Koopa Paratroopas in Leaf Leap .

Minigame Island worlds

Minigame Island contains four worlds, each divided into various subsections. If players want to travel to another world or one of its subsections, players can use Warp Pipes at the beginning and end of the worlds, aside from World 1 and World 4, the latter of which contains the final minigame, The Final Battle! at the end of it.

World 1

Minigame Match board features

Minigame selection screen from Mario Party: The Top 100

There are a total of 100 minigames in this game. Minigames are sorted through many different categories, one being their play-type. Free-for-All minigames involve a battle royale between all four players. 2-on-2 minigames have two teams of two working with each other to best the other team, while 1-on-3 minigames have asymmetrical gameplay of the lone character and the team of three characters attempting to win the minigame, which both sides have different rules to each other. Special minigames are typically lengthier and have more complex rules that abide differently than the aforementioned categories.

Minigames have seven different genres: Action, Skill, Racing, Sports, Brainy, Lucky, and Puzzler. Action minigames typically involve more intense environments, with the players actively competing against one another to either obtain the most points or to survive a minigame, examples being Ice Rink Risk and Tube It or Lose It . Skill minigames have players either having the most precise movements or input a control command the most to win the minigame, examples being Face Lift and Crank to Rank . Racing minigames are self-explanatory: players race against other opponents to complete the minigame the quickest, with examples being Slot-Car Derby and Sphere Factor . Sports minigames are based off actual sports with simplified, minigame rules applied to them, examples being Three Throw and Chip Shot Challenge . Brainy minigames have players either thinking or memorizing commands to win the minigame, with examples being Strawberry Shortfuse and Honeycomb Havoc . Lucky minigames require players being lucky with what they selected to win the minigame, examples being Deck Hands and Pier Pressure . Finally, Puzzler minigames have players partake in various puzzles, either playing alone or with an opponent, and these minigames include Jewel Drop and Block Star .

Minigame packs

Minigames are also sorted into packs containing five minigames, named after the general theme of the minigame such as minigames taking place in snow/ice locations or minigames having Koopa Troopas in them. These packs can be selected for use in Minigame Match and Championship Battles, though players can create a minigame pack featuring their favorite minigames as well: up to three favorite minigame packs chosen by the player can be created. Aside from the player's custom packs, there are a total of 19 packs in the game. Two of those, the Goomba and Koopa Troopa packs, can be instantly unlocked when the respective character's amiibo is scanned.

Piranha's Pursuit from Mario Party (left) and Mario Party: The Top 100 (right), showcasing one of the many differences between minigames.

  • Many minigames move notably faster, having less pause time between certain actions.
  • On a related note, the early Mario Party games, which had multiple "minigame win" tracks, are represented here by only one such track apiece.
  • Objects in minigames from the early Mario Party installments (e.g. the balls in Bumper Balls ) no longer use the character's personal color, instead using red, blue, green, and yellow based on the player number color, as has been the case since Mario Party 6 .
  • Draws no longer occur if multiple players win, instead awarding first place to any player who wins the minigame. This does not occur in 2-vs-2 minigames.
  • Some minigames change their controls to take advantage of Nintendo 3DS hardware. Examples include Kareening Koopas and Crate and Peril using the gyroscope while Crank to Rank has players using the touch screen to rotate the crank.
  • Players can skip CPU actions in certain minigames.
  • Winning and losing animations unique to the minigame, such as in Heat Stroke or Squared Away , have been removed.
  • Some minigames now have a 3-2-1 countdown to the start of the game. Examples include Slot-Car Derby and Leaf Leap .
  • The Piranha Plant in Piranha's Pursuit is replaced with Petey Piranha .
  • The Bowser Suit of the lone player in Tug o' War has a Bowser face attached to it, with the character's head poking out.
  • The Shy Guy in Shy Guy Says does not have a jacket or eyepatch, though his pirate hat is still retained. The music also does not speed up as time passes.
  • The platforms in Hexagon Heat have different shapes imprinted on their surfaces, most likely to assist those with color blindness. The colors of the hexagons are also in different places than the original. Additionally, there is no longer any recoil from ground pounding another player.
  • The rules for Dizzy Dancing have changed. Now instead of just getting to the musical symbol to clear the game, players try to collect as many as possible.
  • In Roll Call , players no longer need to guess the exact amount. Instead, the players who were closest to the actual amount will win.
  • Similarly, minigames from Mario Party 6 take place only during the day.
  • Minigames from Mario Party 3 no longer have flat aesthetics.
  • In Snowball Summit , larger snowballs can now destroy smaller ones without breaking themselves.
  • Toadstool Titan has been renamed Mush Pit . Additionally, a Mega Mushroom replaces the regular Mushroom, and a new arrangement of the Mega Mushroom theme music from New Super Mario Bros. is used instead of the regular invincibility music as well.
  • The Beat Goes On starts with only two drums instead of four. Also, the minigame's theme has been shortened.
  • A Goomba replaces Boo in Three Door Monty .
  • Piranha Plants do not appear in Vine with Me , and characters recover faster from a fall if they miss a vine.
  • Koopa Troopas replace Shy Guys in Blame it on the Crane .
  • Fishin' Lakitus replace Klepto in Paths of Peril .
  • Mario Speedwagons now has three yellow lights instead of two. Additionally, in Mario Party 4 , players would hold the R button to accelerate and A to change gears. However, in Mario Party: The Top 100 , players now hold A to accelerate and R to change gears.
  • In Trace Race , the clips at the start of the board are colored mushrooms instead of emblems pertaining to the characters.
  • The Koopa Kids in The Final Battle! have been replaced by Bowser Jr.
  • The player has 7 health points in The Final Battle! as opposed to 10. Falling into the lava results in losing one hit point, rather than automatically losing.
  • In the final segment of The Final Battle!, the camera rotates with the player instead of remaining in a stationary position. The switches are also ground level and do not require the player to jump on them first.
  • The pitching machines in Dinger Derby wind up and pitch baseballs noticeably slower than in Mario Party 5 .
  • In American English, Triple Jump 's distances are measured in yards instead of feet. The maximum distance is increased as well, capping at 60 metres/yards rather than 170 feet/55 metres.
  • Squared Away 's ground is a 10 × 10 grid of blocks instead of 12 × 12. Also, it comes in only one design: that of an 8-bit Mario head.
  • Some of the icons in Slot Trot have been updated. The Koopa Shell has been replaced by a Koopa Troopa, the Buzzy Beetle uses its more updated design, and the Cloud and Paratroopa Shell are replaced by Bullet Bills and Boos.
  • The Shy Guys in Rocky Road have been replaced by Toad and Toadette. Additionally, players are no longer stunned if hit by their own teammate.
  • Balloon Busters now eliminates players one at a time instead of three at once, making it more similar to the Mario Party DS minigame Short Fuse .
  • The ball is easier to push and rolls around more quickly in Sphere Factor . As such, records now occur in a shorter length of time.
  • The cards in Aim of the Game descend noticeably faster than in Mario Party 8 .
  • The minigame victory theme from Mario Party 8 has been updated to become finite.
  • In Speeding Bullets , the pipes sticking out from the ground are absent.
  • In Bumper Bubbles , the bubble's bump is somewhat weaker than in the original.
  • In the French, Spanish, and Italian versions, minigames whose names were originally in title case are no longer as such.
  • The 80- and 100-point victory animations in Soar to Score are reversed compared to the original version.

Music names

  • The song "Going for the Coins" from Mario Party 2 is incorrectly referred to as "Take the Coin", which is the name of another song from Mario Party 2 - specifically, the results theme for Battle mini-games.
  • The song "Time It Just Right" from Mario Party 10 is incorrectly referred to by the name of the minigame in which it plays, " Soar to Score ". This is the same in the Japanese version.
  • The English names used for the Mario Party 3 minigame tracks are sourced from an unofficial translation of the Mario Party 3 Original Soundtrack rather than the actual North American localization of the game itself.
  • Despite the above changes, there is no disambiguation between the Mario Party 6 track "Slow and Steady" and the Mario Party 7 track of the same name, at least not in English.

Below is a list of all items that can be viewed in the Collection mode of the game. Character bios are unlocked once players unlock all minigames from that respective series. Some music is unlocked for listening to when players hear it for the first time.

Series Guide

Technical aspects.

Most of the game supports 3D functionality. However, some of the minigames do not support 3D, including, but not limited to, Paths of Peril and Leaf Leap .

The game is hard-locked to 30 frames per second, including for minigames that ran at 60 frames per second in their original games, including, but not limited to, the minigames that originated from Mario Party 6 .

The Nintendo eShop version of the game, including its save file, requires 2,106 blocks (269.5 MB) to be installed.

The main font used in the game is Rowdy .

Mario Party: The Top 100 has been developed by NDcube , the former Hudson Soft developers who have handled all Mario Party games since Mario Party 9 . Rather than being directed by Shuichiro Nishiya, who returns to the game as a Senior Director, the game was directed by Tsutomu Komiyama, who worked as a planner in Mario Party 10 . The overall team of directors is similar to that of Mario Party: Star Rush 's staff, who also have worked on Mario Party 10 .

Mario Party: The Top 100 has received mixed reviews, currently averaging 59 on review aggregate site Metacritic, based on 40 reviews [6] and 53.20% based on 15 reviews on GameRankings. [7] General praise has been given to the ability to play the game in brief time periods and the concept of the game being a simple compilation of nostalgic minigames from previous Mario Party installments, while the overall selection of minigames has been a point of contention. As with most Mario Party titles, critics have also praised the fun to be found if players have friends to play the game with. Common criticisms have related to the game's price and single-player content as well as it not being released on Nintendo Switch . Additionally, the game has been criticized for its amount of content in comparison with other Mario Party titles, with some arguing that the game therefore does not have much replay value.

Writing for Hardcore Gamer , Kirstin Swalley scored the game 3.5 out of 5. [8] Swalley opined that the game "is lacking in the more complex and competitive nature that fans of the series have come to look forward to", writing that the amount of content is very low in the title especially compared to previous Mario Party games, but praised it for its ability to "make for an enjoyable title for younger players who can easily grab some friends and compete in short spans of time". Swalley has also noted how the game lacks online play, though he praised the game's support for local play, making the experience the most enjoyable with friends. Greysun Morales, writing for Twinfinite, scored the game 2.5 out of 5, a score labeled as "poor". [9] He praised the game's selection of minigames, the concept of creating a game solely focused on the minigames, and the fun to be had when played with friends, but criticized its "empty single-player mode with no replayability", also saying that the game "falls flat as an actual full-priced Mario Party title". Jordan Biordi of Comics Gaming Magazine also found the game to be mediocre, scoring it 5 out of 10. [10] He has written "how incredibly dull" the title is, saying that the modes are not substantial and that Minigame Island, the method to unlock minigames, gets tiring very quickly, also negatively describing the fluctuation of AI difficulty. Biordi has praised the graphics and sound as what he thought to be the only redeemable aspects, however, stating that "the graphics have been cleaned up and tailored well to the 3DS and the sound quality of the effects and music have also followed suit".

Pre-release and unused content

Although they did not make it into the final release of the game, arrangements of the songs " Let's Get a Move On "/"Let's Bust Out of Here" from Mario Party 3 and " Pandemonium " from Mario Party 9 can be found in Mario Party: The Top 100 's music files , implying that certain minigames from Mario Party 3 ( Aces High , Ridiculous Relay , Water Whirled , and/or Dizzy Dinghies ) and Mario Party 9 ( Flinger Painting , Fungi Frenzy , and/or Hazard Hold ) were at one point planned to be included in The Top 100 , but later scrapped.
