Super Mario Party

The game is played with one Joy-Con controller per player, with other players needing additional controllers for multiplayer. The standard game mode, "Mario Party", features up to four players taking turns independently navigating the game board in search of stars, with one located in a random location at a time. Upon the player's turn, a dice block is rolled to determine how many spaces the player moves on the board, and items collected can be used to alter how many spaces the player can move. Each space has a unique function, such as blue and red spaces giving and taking three coins respectively and good luck and bad luck spaces granting the player helpful or unhelpful consequences. If a player passes a star, they can spend ten coins to purchase it; whoever has the most stars and coins at the end of the game wins. Coins can additionally be spent on one-use items to give the player certain advantages on the board, such as adding to one's own dice roll, subtracting from another player's dice roll, or using a golden pipe to be taken directly to the star.

After each player takes their turn, everyone competes in a minigame which awards coins based on their placement. Minigames vary with rules and playstyle, such as 4-player free-for-alls, 2-on-2 or 1-on-3 matchups, or utilizing motion controls or HD Rumble. There are 80 minigames in total across all game modes.

Beyond the standard Mario Party mode, Super Mario Party features a number of secondary game modes for multiplayer:-

•  The second, known as "Partner Party", has two teams of two players also searching for stars, but the players are free to move in any direction and cross their own path, similar to the "Toad Scramble" mode from the aforementioned Star Rush. This mode features unique items and redesigned board layouts.
• In "River Survival", four players must work together to navigate through a series of whitewater rapids under a time limit. This mode features exclusive minigames that focus on cooperation and reward the team with time bonuses.
• In "Sound Stage", players compete in a series of motion-controlled rhythm games in one of three difficulty settings, and the player with the highest score by the end wins.
• Another multiplayer-focused game mode is "Toad's Rec Room", where players can take multiple Nintendo Switch consoles and arrange and synchronize them to create larger, multi-monitor environments. The minigames featured with this mode include an enhanced version of the "Shell Shocked" minigame from the Nintendo 64 entries, and a unique take on toy baseball. 
• The last major game mode in Super Mario Party is "Challenge Road", essentially a single player campaign wherein the player participates in every single minigame featured in the game, including those from River Survival and Sound Stage, now with unique challenges associated to them. This mode is unlocked when all of the minigames have been played at least once in their respective modes.

Beyond local play, Super Mario Party features online multiplayer for the first time in the Mario Party series. While the two board game modes, Mario Party and Partner Party, are restricted to offline play, players are able to play a selection of ten of the game's 80 minigames with other players online, independent of the board games in the game's "Online Mariothon" mode. In Online Mariothon, players compete in five randomly selected minigames out of the aforementioned ten, aiming to get the highest combined score by the end. It also features leaderboards and a ranking system, as well as rewards that the player can receive for playing the mode.
