Utter Nonsense (Soundalike Star in the British English release) is a General minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour. This minigame is the only one that requires two to four human players to play. The American English name comes from a phrase referring to something false or silly.

Introduction[edit]

A roulette spins from the ten playable characters that shows whom the player is going to imitate. After a few seconds, it stops on a specific character's image and the minigame begins.

Gameplay[edit]

Like in The Choicest Voice, the players use the microphone to imitate the selected character's voice. The voice clip will be played and a 3 second countdown will commence before the players imitate. After the countdown finishes, the players can imitate the character. Finally, the game will rate the voice recording from a score of 0 to 100. Whichever player gets the higher score than the others wins and the winner's imitation plays. Something similar happens if the player ends their turn on a Bowser Space and the wheel stops at "Imitate Bowser's voice," the player needs to imitate one of Bowser's voice clips.

Controls[edit]

  • Microphone – Imitate a character.
