The Wasted Potential of Mario Party Superstars

  • Another Nintendo Direct and still no news on DLC for Mario Party Superstars. I'm not sure why this game has been neglected, but it has so much potential that is currently being wasted. In this video, I talk about some of the ways Nintendo has failed to make Mario Party Superstars the best game it could be and what I'd like for it, or potential sequels in the future.
    Be sure to let me know what you think about Mario Party Superstars in the comments down below! Is it disappointing? Or are you still happy with it 2 years later?

    This game felt like it was DESTINED to have DLC or at least be the ultimate game to build more and more content on with the Expansion Pak for Nintendo Switch online. In that sense, you nailed it.

    This game deserved more content and what I missed the most was the lack of classic boards and to be more specific the lack of the original final boards, especially Bowser Land or Waluig's Island

      You're right but consider it a way to play old mini-games in a permanent form (the NSO after a set amount of time they will erase the save data but if you renew it you can extend it, I know it's an offensive but for me saving some photo and videos until the definitive expire is the minimum)

  • @Mr._MatchIt

    I had a complete head cannon on the perfect version of Superstars; in terms of boards:
    The release of the game would have two boards from each N64 MP game.
    MP1: Mario’s Rainbow Castle, Peach’s Birthday Cake
    MP2: Western Land, Horror Land
    MP3: Woody Woods, Waluigi’s Island.
    And then there would be a 4 month wait. After 4 months go by, Superstars gets free dlc every single month. For the next 6 months, Mario Party would be getting 1 new board, and 10 new mini games per month.
    MP4: Goomba’s Greedy Gala
    MP5: Pirate Dream
    MP6: Fair Square
    MP7: Neon Heights
    MP8: Koopa’s Tycoon Town
    And the last month will have a surprise release of Bowser’s Pinball; with the collection of 20 DS mini games.

    My friends and I have been saying the same thing. The product we got had so few levels and so little customization (can't even pick which Bonus Stars to turn on or off, and just two Bonus Stars feels too few) that it seemed _perfect_ for free or even paid DLC updates.
    The game is a lot of fun, but it is feature-poor and it always felt like it was _designed_ to receive updates. Alas.
    Maybe at this point they're focusing on a sequel? But it would be so much better to be able to play double the content in a single game rather than having two segregated playing experiences, forcing you to switch carts when you wanna play a different map, and precluding the ability to add more Bonus Stars to the original

    • @MrDrBoi

  • @pinkiemeowstic89

    I feel like it's a crime that Toad wasn't in the playable roster despite having been a mainstay since 5, and there should've been some DS and Island Tour games (the latter is also a flaw of Top 100, but still). If I had to pick DLC characters, I'd go with the aforementioned Toad, Toadette, Pauline, Diddy Kong, maybe Prince Florian for that sweet Wonder promo, and since she deserves a comeback, Captain Syrup (WarioWare Move It and Princess Peach Showtime are also very acceptable options for said comeback).

    In Mario party superstars they could’ve added more characters to it but they decided to make characters like bowser Junior and shy guy a part of the mechanics and koopa was guiding them in the start but they could’ve just gave it to toad from the start and added koopa to the players list

  • @circluoy4303
    @circluoy4303 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The roster is one thing I can excuse given the nature of the game. Several characters that could be playable have roles in the minigames and the boards themselves.
    THAT SAID, there's work arounds. Some characters like Pauline aren't in the game but it seems they want to limit themselves to characters that already appeared in entries 1 through 10.
    And remember when the classic games introduced pink Boos so Boo can be playable? Could have done the same and then some, like Toadsworth handing out stars so Toadette can join

      If Nintendo does decide to include the Koopalings within a future Mario Party game, their appearances would be the equivalent of replacing the different colored Koopa Kids.

      That would not be good. Then you'd never play the mini-games that you dislike or are bad at, which would take away the difficulty/randomnes. Which is the essence of Mario Party. You kinda need bad minigames, to balance it. So when you get the minigames you like, it feels more satisfying to play them. Also there is the minigame mode already, where you can play all the minigames you want. It would completely unbalance the game if you can pick the minigames in a board match.

    I assumed it was going to get Superstars sequels, each with a few boards, and other classic minigames.

    • @MrDrBoi
      @MrDrBoi  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They definitely have enough content to make a Mario Party Superstars 2 but it'd feel weird to not include all the classic mini-games brought back in Superstars and it'd also feel kind of pointless for a whole new game if they just brought most of the mini-games back. Unless they just makes something brand new I'm really not sure what they're plan is.

  • @Flame.Games.

    I couldn't agree more. It feels like Nintendo will give us the bare minimum when it comes to Mario Party and any of the mario sports games on the switch. I can't help but feel like it's so they can bundle together 4 or 5 more past stages and some unseen mini games in another mario party collection so they can sell it back to us at full price.

    I really hope it goes like Mario Kart 8DX and they just randomly begin releasing dlc for it out of nowhere, i love this game so much but after a while 5 boards gets very stale, they're not even the best picks they could've gone for (besides Horror Land) imo.
    I would literally kill for Bowser Land, Chilly Waters, Spiny Desert, Waluigi Island, Western Land, Mario's Rainbow Castle and/or Luigi's Engine Room, there was many great boards to choose from for DLC (and that's only from N64, imagine if they picked from GC titles too)
    Not to mention characters, while i know they don't matter too much since they're merely cosmetic in this game, i would've loved to see Pauline debut on Mario Party here for example, Diddy deserved to come back too.
    Also a few more minigames would be nice, mainly from GC and Wii/Wii U, there's such a small ammount of those considering there was many great ones to choose from, and i know MP3 was overrepresented but Ridiculous Relay really deserved to be here (it was meant to be on Top 100 and that way we'd have the entire minigame OST from MP3 remade lmao)
    Hopefully the "Nintendo Direct DLC hype" void that MK8DX is gonna leave gets filled with Mario Party DLC, but Nintendo probably won't see it as "hype" considering it's nowhere near the sales of MK8 and Smash...

    But I do have two things I want to say.
    DLC still has a chance to be announced at the February direct as the replacement for Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass, and that might be why it’s taken so long to release.
    Also, the reason they likely didn’t include boards from other Mario Parties is because they played very differently. Cario Party, motion controls, the capsule system, and double/ cursed dice being in the form of mini-mega mushrooms.

    I've frequently found myself thinking that MP: Superstars needs DLC. I'd easily pay like ~$10 for some new boards. Taking old boards and updating their graphics would take almost no effort on Nintendo's part. I honestly think Nintendo has lost their passion for Mario Party after like MP 8/9. MP 10 was a travesty and we all know it.
    I think comparing MP to Smash is a bit unfair. Although I understand where you are coming from, Nintendo has never been as interested in MP as Smash and MP doesn't have Masahiro Sakurai behind it. Sakurai is an intensely passionate developer/designer.

    -5 boards, but also 1v1 and 2v2 mode
    -rocket rascals, score shuffle (on top of the regular minigame modes)
    -pen pals and desert duels
    -five goddamn boss battles

    This is definitely a great video to talk about the missed potential with Superstars. Initially, when this game was announced back in June 2021, I was so hyped for this game like most fans would because it was refreshing to see MP truly go back to its roots, and I had my fun with it when I got the game months before it. However, overtime, I grown more and more stale with the game because it just not fun replaying the same party mode with the same 5 boards we grown attach to with no additional content. And yeah, when MP1 has more boards than Superstars, that’s kinda embarrassing don’t you think.
    Also, I’mma go on a limb here, and say that MT Mini-games is a complete joke of a mode, and garbage because the modes that are presented here are either, boring, repetitive, or just pointless to add and offer little to no variety in content to go along with the main party mode. The 100 minigames while an improvement choices over Top 100; still have some choices were it doesn’t feel like it belongs in this game, while some others got unnecessary changes compared to the O.Gs that it makes them inferior to play on.
    This game really needed the DLC to be a potential good game that brings back to why we love this series since the beginning, and the fact it went on for 2 years with none of it is pretty disappointing. Nowadays, all I see in Superstars is potential, but wasted and at best, it boils down to an okay experience. I definitely had my fun when it was new, but I come to realized how stale it has become over the years. 6/10 game

    I’m really disappointed mostly in the boards. To me the rest of the game is PERFECT.
    I would predict if even if there were going to be DLC
    The boards I would chose are one from each of the original n64 games
    1: Mario’s rainbow castle (MP1)
    This one is just a really fun solid one, plus it would balance out the mp1 style boards
    Western Land (mp2)
    Just a really fun classic board. Plus there is no desert themed board in the game.
    Chilly waters (MP3)
    Another really fun simple board, probably the best one from 3. There’s gotta be a snow themed board in the mix!
    To balance out the mp3 boards though, you could switch western land with Spiny desert from 3

    I would rather have DLC then play the NSO for Mario Party 1 and 2, I know that sounds like... stupid since they're the originals. But I really liked Superstars and felt it was an amazing mix of old and new. It's just sad it got shafted heavily, when it had so much potential to be more than it was. 5 board and 10 characters was honestly very limiting, and I felt like they should have added more with DLC, but if a game like MK8D could get DLC like many years after, even though it was mostly used to close out MKT's new content, why not Superstars? People play Superstars, even TH-camrs still upload videos of them playing it.
    Honestly, the only games that Pauline hasn't appeared is Party and Baseball, but I really want to play her in Mario Party. I also would love like Western Land or Pirate Land to appear, but also Mario Party 3 had one board! If they add another 4 more boards, 1 MP, 1 MP2, 2 MP3. I would be happy. I know people want Waluigi's Island, but damn, do I want Deep Bloober Sea, Spiny Desert and Chilly Waters more. Manly, because they got aesthetics that aren't in Superstars and I found their hazards to be more fun.
