Mini-games here also feature 2v2 variants, though these are just the boss mini-games with paired players. The aim is to collect coins to buy stars, with winning mini-games and popping balloons being the main source of currency. Our party found this to be the best of the bunch overall due to the skill factor and only having three games on rotation.īalloon Bash on the other hand is entirely luck based, being loosely inspired by the Classic Mario Party formula, only with a slightly increased freedom of movement. While this does add an element of luck, the distractions can be somewhat overcome through skill. Some distract your opponents while others help you gain more coins. Once a meter to the bottom corner is filled, you can obtain an Item Box to gain a power up. The mini-games here are far more limited in scope as the point is to collect as many coins as is possible. Rival Mode challenges you to win 10 races against the AI with changing difficulties and number of laps, while Free Mode allows you to choose for yourself. Out of all the modes, this was the one that felt like it had the most skill required to play, which is a refreshing change of pace for the series.

Up next is Coinathalon, where four players play the same three mini-games, collecting coins to move spaces until a player finishes the race.
