Mario Party: Island Tour Review

  • First Released Nov 22, 2013 released

Port-a-party.

By Heidi Kemps on November 22, 2013 at 11:44AM PST

When you hear "minigame collection," the first game that usually springs to mind is Mario Party. The series has been responsible for hilarious memories and strained relationships since the Nintendo 64 era, though the series hasn't always set a good example: some of the installments, like the miserable Mario Party Advance, have dragged you to the dregs of party hell. Fortunately, Mario Party: Island Tour is a raucous portable entry in the series that adds some refreshing new elements.

Island Tour adheres to the same structure as many of the other Mario Party games: two to four human or AI players move around a traditional board-game-style map in a competition, playing minigames for prizes and attempting to hinder other players throughout. Most Mario Party games have focused on the collecting of coins and stars to determine a winner at the end of a game, but Island Tour's boards feature different objectives and modes of play. Some, like Perilous Palace Path, simply require that you be the first to reach the goal, while others have you collecting items to see who can end the game with the most stuff. Even if the boards have a similar objective, there are other factors at play that alter gameplay significantly: Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain might let you summon a giant bullet that sends everyone in its path back several spaces, while Kamek's Magic Carpet Ride forgoes dice and assigns movement to an inventory of numbered cards, making your selections about how far to advance a strategic consideration. There's a nice bit of variety here, and the game helpfully gives ratings to luck, skill, and minigame categories when you're choosing a board to play on (though their accuracy is debatable). Most of the boards don't take too long to run through, but that's probably for the best given that the 3DS is a battery-based console, and nothing kills a party like running out of juice mid-game.

What would a race game be like if you drifted ALL THE TIME?

It's pretty easy to get things hopping, thanks to the 3DS Download Play feature. Much like Mario Party DS, Island Tour allows up to three additional players to access and enjoy the full game in multiplayer, even if they don't have their own copy. It takes a few minutes to send the game to other 3DSs--and, of course, they can't keep it once the host disconnects--but after the wait is over, the players have access to the entire game (though the host player controls all the settings and selections). It's a nice way to ensure that there's always an opportunity to get a party started as long as everybody has a system. Unfortunately, there's no way to play online. Yes, Mario Party is more fun in a local, group setting, but the omission of any sort of online option is puzzling, especially given that the 3DS supports friends lists and voice chat.

If you've got a party of one, however, Island Tour has a special single-player mode called Bowser's Tower. In this mode, your chosen character scales a tower, playing a minigame on each floor and winning to proceed. On every fifth floor, you face a boss character, and these fights are minigames in themselves. Compared to the single-player story mode in Mario Party DS, Bowser's Tower is weak: there's no variation on events depending on character choice; it takes a long time to complete a runthrough (and, if you're really unlucky, a bad roulette spin can send you back to the start); and you have to finish it more than once to unlock everything. Yet Bowser's Tower is a nice diversion, and as you play and complete board runs, Bowser's Tower, and individual minigames in either single- or multiplayer, you earn points that you can spend on unlockable content.

You can't always bite the bullet. Sometimes you just gotta run.

But the meat of any Mario Party is its minigame menagerie, and Island Tour has more winners than duds in its mix. While you have the expected minigames of the "collect stuff," "knock other players off a platform," and "dodge things coming at you" varieties, there are some more inventive offerings that make good use of the 3DS hardware. Since the 3DS offers a variety of control methods--controller, buttons, stylus, microphone, and gyroscopic motion--the minigames can use one or more of these elements to make more interesting snack-size experiences. This leads to some neat outings, such as Buzz a Fuzzy (a motion- and circle-pad-controlled archery minigame) and Match Faker (a memory-type game that lets you use the stylus to take notes). The game takes advantage of the fact that each player has their own display, resulting in things like the third-person, arena-based blasting in Tanks a Lot and the hyper-gliding ice racing in No Traction Action. There are even a few auxiliary minigames that use the oft-forgotten 3DS AR cards. Unlike in Wii Party, where only one player could use the GamePad, everybody is on equal footing with the same controls and view, and many of the minigames do a good job of both recognizing and taking advantage of that in their design.

But there are still some stinkers in the mix. Strictly luck-based minigames turn up in the rotation frequently, and they're not any fun. A few others feature sluggish controls that hamper your ability to move well. (In minigames that involved moving the system along with another control method, I found that the game had an obnoxious tendency to lose calibration when it shifted back to motion controls, which required an experience-interrupting recalibration.) Though you can switch between preset standard and easy minigames and turn mic-using games on or off, you still can't disable individual minigames or make a custom set, which is a disappointing oversight.

It's not a perfect party by any means, but some good design considerations, better-than-average variety, and always-enjoyable Mario thematics put Mario Party: Island Tour a few notches above your average video game bash-in-a-box. It's nicely portable, uses the hardware well, and has a mostly good minigame mix, making this the easy-to-play multiplayer vacation you've been looking for.

  • Leave Blank
  • Fully featured four-player local download play is great
  • Some great minigame designs that use 3DS features well
  • Offers a unique single-player mode
  • A few bad games in the bunch

Mario Party: Island Tour - Review

Mario party: island tour’s content-rich multiplayer options are sullied by boring minigames and unfortunate system-jerking motion control..

Mario Party: Island Tour Review

Island Tour features three main modes: Party, Minigames, and the exclusively single-player Bowser’s Tower. I might as well start with the most laborious of the three, Bowser’s Tower, which is Island Tour’s “campaign mode,” if you will. To clear a floor of Bowser’s 30-floor tower, you must beat three CPU opponents in one of two randomly chosen minigames. The issue here is that the CPU players are locked on easy difficulty for nearly every floor save for the last few (where they are bumped up to an innocuous “normal” level), so the challenge isn’t so much in beating each floor as it is in staying awake long enough to do so. Need to collect the most bunnies? You’ll have double if not triple the number of your nearest competitor. Need to finish a race first? The CPU players won’t even be on the same screen when you gracefully cross the finish line. It really is that bad. Admittedly, there are a few interesting boss battles, which pop up every fifth floor, but they are over all too soon and the monotonous hour-long grind to the Tower’s top resumes again. Having finished, I’ll be perfectly content to never set foot in Bowser’s Tower again.

Party mode is much better, even for solo players. Defying classic Mario Party design, the game boards here each feature their own unique objectives rather than the classic “collect the most stars in a certain number of turns” formula. Instead, you’ll be ducking in and out of cover as you scale a mountain and avoid Banzai Bills, or collecting rocket boosters to reach the end of a Mario Galaxy-themed level. Though his tower is a chore, Bowser’s game board is one of the more interesting, as the goal is to actually end the game furthest from the finish line, where the malevolent turtle awaits the “first place” player. This departure is a welcome surprise and adds much-needed variety.

Unfortunately, great game board designs and the ambitious Download Play options don’t make up for Island Tour’s key detraction: the minigames themselves are mostly bland, and a handful are just bad. If you’ve played a Mario Party game before, you’ll recognize that a majority of the games are based around returning ideas. Knock your opponents off a shrinking platform, be the last player to avoid getting smashed by a Thwomp, reach the end of a small platforming course first... it all feels very familiar. What’s most egregious, though, is when the 3DS’ accelerometer is brought into the action, requiring awkward jerking and rotating to, say, steer a rolling ball or rotate familiar Mario characters to match their arrangement in an image. It never felt comfortable to me and, assuming you like to play with 3D on, the screen becomes difficult to see in the midst of all the movement.

To be fair, there are some minigames that use the touchscreen effectively. One of my favorites involves connecting stars to create constellations in the shapes of Mario baddies, and another tasks you with being the first to completely color in a series of black-and-white images. Simple, sure, but at least it feels new to the series and unique to the hardware. Also, in an odd departure for the series, there are no 2v2 or 3v1 minigames, either of which could have really broken up the monotony of the “last standing” free-for-all games that dominate the selection. In my time with Island Tour, I found I had the most fun in between the forgettable minigames while navigating the much more inventive game boards themselves. Unfortunately that reprieve is brief, as minigames pop-up every couple of minutes.

Island Tour’s Minigames mode strips away the boards and allows you to play each minigame individually or in a couple of different competitions, with conditions like seeing who can complete 10 games the fastest or being the first to win three, five, or seven games. The variety of ways to play is great, but focusing purely on Island Tour’s lackluster minigames makes this a mode I don’t want to visit all that often.

THE VERDICT

Mario Party: Island Tour’s single-player campaign is laughably bad, and the ambitious, content-rich multiplayer options and unique game boards are ultimately dragged down by mostly boring minigames and unfortunate system-jerking motion control. A group of friends might only have fleeting good times with this collection.

mario party island tour game over

GamesRadar+ Verdict

Strong mini-games with plenty of variety

Can play with four players using only one cartridge

Board types provide totally different experiences

Lack of lengthy

classic-style boards

3DS disconnects are frequent and there's no way to save games

Still feels entirely luck-based

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

At the halfway point in one of Mario Party: Island Tour's boards, there's a fork in the road. Taking the left path puts you on the road to victory, and gives an excellent excuse to pelvic thrust in your opponents' general direction. To the right is a long series of impossible nonsense that no one should ever have to deal with; a bunch of "Go back a space!" spots that doom you to pathetic failure. Why would anyone choose that? Well, you don't actually have a say. When you arrive at the fork, a bunch of goombas spin around in circles and pick for you, because Mario Party's game boards are lawless lands of debauchery and sin. With nothing more than a coin flip, the victory is either handed to you on a silver platter or ripped from your quivering hands.

When you approach it, Toad pops up and smiles a cruel smile, chortling about how "It all comes down to luck!" It was in this moment that I realized how remarkable it was that Nintendo seemed wholly uninterested in fixing Mario Party's biggest problem: its reliance on luck. After a dozen games over the course of 14 years, it still hasn't found a way to make the matches any more than a series of coin flips. What it has done, however, is find clever ways to disguise it under whimsy, wonder, and fun mini-games.

It's weird to see the franchise embrace luck as much as Island Tour does. Losing due to a random happenstance in Mario Party has likely caused more broken N64/GameCube/Wii controllers than Goldeneye/Smash Bros. Melee/Wii Sports combined. Island Tour acts like it's a bullet point to be proud of--it even ranks different boards on how much of your victory will be related to chance. It doesn't matter if you're playing Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain (ranked 5/5 for "Luck"), Rocket Road (given a 2/5) or Shy Guy's Shuffle City (with a 3/5)--you're still going to be relying on randomness in order to succeed, or feeling screwed when something totally out of your control undermines everything. And yet, despite that, it's handled in a way that makes it somewhat charming. Sure, being screwed out of victory hurts, but watching a friend have a sure win torn away is so funny that it more than makes up for the anger you might feel when it happens to you.

Mario Party's inclusion of four-player competitive play with one cartridge makes getting games much easier, and downloading the game only takes a few minutes. That said, we had several instances where the connection would be lost, even when the players hadn't moved apart. This caused the game to crash and lose all progress. What a party pooper.

Luck impacts each of the seven boards differently, making them feel like seven slightly different experiences. Rocket Road, for instance, gifts you Engine Boosters for winning mini-games, which can double, triple, or quadruple your roll to propel you to the finish line faster than your worthless friends. Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain's flavor of luck comes in the form of Bullet Bill himself, and forces you to decide to play it safe lest you risk being knocked back to the start. The matches here are considerably shorter than those in previous Mario Party games, making the handheld version feel well suited for short, portable sessions The inclusion of four-player multiplayer with only one cartridge is a nice touch (even if the lack of online multiplayer is a curious omission) and should help make long road trips speed by quickly.

Mario Party's signature charm is infused into the shorter game boards. You'll still laugh when your friends roll poorly, or fist-pump when you successfully grab a much-needed first-place victory in a mini-game. It's with these mini-games that The Fates lose their power, as skill will always let you outperform and defeat your opponents in the 80+ games included. Sure, you might be screwed out of your prize by a random question-mark block or a low roll, but you'll still know you wiped the floor with everyone when you were actually given some agency. Classic favorites like hey, roll around on this ball! and race your friends to a place while something happens! return, and are joined by a bunch of new, fun, competitive games that make good use of the 3DS' hardware for motion and touch-based challenges. But while they're enjoyable, the games aren't fun enough that you'll want to play them outside of the context of a board game, meaning the single-player offerings (most of which are just gauntlets of mini-games) aren't going to hold your attention for very long. Being able to play against friends in board game-less runs can be quite fun, though--so long as you're willing to give up on the die-rolling portion.

Seven maps might seem sufficient, but because they're so short you'll be able to blow through all of them in an afternoon, no problem. And though I know it was done to make for beiefer matches, I was still pretty heartbroken to see the classic "collect Stars and Coins for two hours and eventually get screwed over during the bonus round when your friend gets a pity Star" mode was nowhere to be found. There are flashes of classic gameplay scattered throughout the different boards, and some provide bite-sized instances of the game I played in my friend's basement in 1999--but none provide the full experience.

Ditching the lengthy matches of Mario Party's past in favor of shorter options makes sense, and it makes for more manageable experiences. But it's still saddening that the longest game of Island Tour that you'll ever play should wrap up in under an hour. Hell, a majority of matches will be over in half that time. Because of the randomness and the short length of the boards, it never feels like you have time to get the gist of the level's themes. Having one or two classic boards would've satiated old fans while still giving those interested in shorter matches an option; alas, you're stuck with what feel like miniature versions of the Mario Party levels you know and love.

And, honestly, that's sort of what Island Tour is: a miniature version of Mario Party. Making a handheld game like that might've made sense when Nintendo was trying to shove an N64 game onto the Game Boy Advance, but the excuse doesn't hold water anymore. Though you'll enjoy your time with Island Tour, it feels fleeting. Nintendo could have done so much better and made a portable version of Mario Party worthy of a huge gala, instead of a little shindig.

Island Tour isn't the Mario Party you remember, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. That said, there are definitely some missing pieces that keep it from being a memorable entry in the franchise.

Mario Party: Island Tour

  • View history

Due to the platform being the Nintendo 3DS, some of the minigames take advantage of the system's features, such as the stereoscopic 3D, gyroscope, mic, augmented reality (AR), and the touch screen. The game additionally uses StreetPass where players can play minigames if their system has picked up signals from other Nintendo 3DS systems that also have the game and unlock special items from it. Up to four people can play together either with local multiplayer or Download Play using only one game cartridge, similar to how Mario Party DS and later Mario Party installments for the Nintendo 3DS handle multiplayer.

The game was eventually released as a Nintendo Selects title in multiple regions including North America, Europe, and Oceania, being one of the best-selling titles for the Nintendo 3DS.

After a relaxing day around Peach's Castle , Mario and the gang notice a strange letter in a bubble saying they are happily invited to the Party Islands. The gang then cheers about it but then the letter suddenly traps the gang in bubbles to carry them though the sky to the Party Islands. While Mario and the gang are partying and playing games, Bowser shows up, feeling jealous about why Mario and his friends are invited, so he builds Bowser's Tower, saying that anyone can join him at his evil party. He begins locking all the fun from the Party Islands in bubbles. He also puts evil magic in the bubbles made by the bubble machine to make bubble clones of the gang to guard the tower. The player's selected character and Green Toad advance up the tower and defeat the bubble clones as well as various bosses. After defeating Bowser in Bowser's Sky Scuffle, the player's character then defeats the Mario bubble clones guarding the bubble machine and then destroys the bubble machine with a ground pound. Shortly afterward, Bowser reappears and boots the player's character and Green Toad out of the tower, inviting them to challenge him any time and that he won't be done.

Gameplay [ ]

Unlike the direct preceding game, Mario Party 9 , where all four players travel together through a vehicle and aim to obtain the most Mini Stars, Mario Party: Island Tour uses the traditional independent four player gameplay as seen in previous Mario Party entries. The ultimate goal of the game in most of the boards is to race opponents on a linear-designed board to the finish line, unlike other Mario Party games where players are required to amass the most amount of a certain item to win in all boards. In order to advance through the board, players roll a Dice Block numbered from 1 to 6 to dictate their movement. Each board has its own play style with different rules from another: one board, Star-Crossed Skyway requires players to amass the most Mini Stars while Kamek's Carpet Ride requires players to land exactly on a particular space, called a Just-Right Space, by using numbered cards. Another feature of these boards is to replace the "6" on the Dice Block with another feature, such as a Banzai Bill icon on Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain that causes players to fall back to the halfway point or the start of the board or a 0 in Rocket Road , meaning the player cannot move at all. Prior to starting out, Yellow Toad explains the board's play style and after players are done viewing the rules, they roll a Dice Block to determine their turn order: players who roll a higher number than others will move earlier. In this game, a Round, similar to turns from earlier Mario Party titles, is taken once every player has rolled a Dice Block and moved accordingly, and while in earlier Mario Party titles had a limited amount of turns to take until the game ends, Mario Party: Island Tour proceeds until all players have reached the end goal. When starting their own round, players can either opt to use an item if an item is available for use or look around the map to plan out movement. If players end the game in a tie, a Dice Block roll determines who wins the game. At the end of the game, various stats are recorded such as how many spaces a player has landed on, a line graph depicting the players' progress, and other recordings depending on the board the players were playing on.

When players land on a Space, an event occurs depending on the type of space landed. Their function and design appears to be based off Mario Party 9 ; for example, if players land on a Green Space, nothing occurs while if a player lands on an Item Space on a specific type of board, they receive an item from a pool of randomized items. These items can either benefit the player directly or obstruct opponents. Players can carry up to two items, and players can use only one item per round. Only a few boards have an item system, however, and the type of items players receive varies on the board selected.

Some boards have players participating in minigames, either after every turn or if a Free-for-All Space is landed on. These minigames are small, short activities that have players competing against each other in defined, simple rules, most of them within a time limit. Some minigames involve players surviving a horde of enemies, some involve players racing against one another, some require the player to obtain the most points within a time limit, etc. If the player performs the best in the minigame, depending on the board played on, they receive priority when deciding which prize item to take or how much items are rewarded to them. The lower the rank players are, the lower the priority for selecting items and the less of a reward they receive, with last place players either receiving nothing or the worst rewards. If minigames end in a tie, a Dice Block is used to break the tie.

Mario Party: Island Tour supports local multiplayer if players have multiple cartridges or Download Play if there is only one cartridge. Up to four players can play the game, and they can participate with the player in Party Mode and Minigames Mode.

Reception [ ]

Critical reception [ ].

Mario Party: Island Tour has received generally mixed reviews. The game currently averages a 59% based on 28 reviews on GameRankings [1] and a 57 based on 47 reviews on Metacritic [2] . As with most Mario Party games, Mario Party: Island Tour was praised for being fun to play with other people rather than playing alone and some of its mechanics were praised for being innovative, though general criticisms of the game include its short length, poorly implemented gimmicks, as well as the lack of online play.

Scott Thompson of IGN gave Mario Party: Island Tour a 5.5 out of 10, criticizing its motion control, "uninventive" minigames, and its "poor" single-player campaign unlike Mario Party 9 , but praising its unique board rules and use of Download Play. [3] While expecting this game to perform around the same level as the console Mario Party games due to the inventive touchscreen implementation and unique, new rules for the seven game boards compared to previous Mario Party games, Thompson felt that the "lackluster single player experience", Bowser's Tower, was a slow-paced repetitive grind, and the "bland minigame design" was a step back, due to the similarity of the minigames from the past entries in the Mario Party series and the only category of minigames being Free-for-All type minigames. Caitlin Cooke of Destructoid gave the game a 4 out of 10, [4] disappointed that the game's board gameplay did not play as the original titles did and that the boards felt like chopped up variations of a single mode from previous Mario Party games. She additionally pointed out that the game has a too heavy hand with hand-holding players. She, however, enjoyed the single player mode of Bowser's Tower, the minigames, and the single-cartridge local mulitplayer, though criticized the lack of online play.

On the other hand, Kimberly Keller of Nintendo World Report gave the game the highest critic review, an 8.5 out of 10. [5] She has praised the innovation of the boards, which has each their unique play styles, the usage of the Nintendo 3DS capabilities in minigames, as well as noting that the single player modes Bowser's Tower, StreetPass Minigames, and Collectables being engaging, with Bowser's Tower being the best of the single player modes, though she had criticized the lack of setting a difficulty setting for Bowser's Tower. She also praised the Download Play multiplayer, though criticized the lack of online multiplayer.

Mario Party: Island Tour is the 20th best-selling game for the Nintendo 3DS, selling 1.14 million copies worldwide, as of March 31, 2014. [6] It has become a Nintendo Selects title in various regions, including North America, Europe, and Oceania.

Mario Party

Mario Party: Island Tour is a Mario Party game for the Nintendo 3DS . It is the twelfth installment (seventeenth in Japan) in the  Mario Party  series and the third installment for a handheld console that was made by Nintendo. This is the second  Mario Party  game to be developed by Nd Cube. Just as in  Mario Party DS , it is possible for up to four people to join in wireless mode using only one single game card.

It was released in North America & Brazil on November 22, 2013, in China & Hong Kong on January 10, 2014, in Europe on January 17, 2014, in Australia on January 18, 2014, and in Japan & Korea on March 20, 2014.

  • 1 Development
  • 5 Mini-games
  • 10.1 Perilous Palace Path
  • 10.2 Star-Crossed Skyway
  • 10.3 Rocket Road

Development [ ]

This game was announced at Nintendo Direct and is confirmed to be released on November 22, 2013, in North America, which is also the same release date for the Wii U game Super Mario 3D World , which is a sequel to 2011's Super Mario 3D Land . It has been confirmed that the release date for Mario Party: Island Tour in Europe, had been moved to 2014.

During story mode, Bowser sets up a tower full of challenges for Mario and friends. Inside, they face off against bubbly clones of themselves in many different minigames. Eventually they climb to the top and battle Bowser.

Gameplay [ ]

It is shown in a trailer that Mario Party: Island Tour will go back to the turn-based system. This will mean the four players will compete separately, instead of being in one vehicle together, like in Mario Party 9 . Players will also use cards instead of regular items. Like with Mario Party DS , Mario Party: Island Tour makes use of the Stylus for when playing certain mini-games, although a few Mario Party: Island Tour minigames make use of the Nintendo 3DS's gyro controls. Players must roll a dice block labelled 1-6, also like Mario Party 9 .

  • This is the first Mario Party game for the Nintendo 3DS. The second is Mario Party: Star Rush and the third is Mario Party: The Top 100 .
  • This is the first (and currently only)  Mario Party  game to not have a category of 1 vs 3 minigames.
  • This is the first  Mario Party  game to use Dice Blocks to break ties in minigames.
  • For a time, the Nintendo 3DS eShop mistakenly stated  Mario Party: Island Tour  to be a title on the  Nintendo Entertainment System , with the game also lacking the price.
  • Bowser Jr. also replaces Koopa Kid from the previous Mario Party games.
  • This marks Rosalina 's debut in a Mario Party game, but she wouldn't become a playable character until Mario Party 10 .
  • This is the second Mario Party game where Donkey Kong does not appear, the first being Mario Party Advance .
  • Only Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Boo, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser Jr. have official artwork for this game.
