Utter Nonsense (Soundalike Star in the British English release) is a General minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour, and is one of two minigames to not appear in Bowser's Tower, the other one being Color Correction. This minigame is the only one that requires two to four human players to play.
Overview[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.
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, causing their imitation to play. 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]
– Imitate a character.
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – American English: Listen to the character's voice, and then perform your best impression.
- Rules – British English: Listen to the character's voice and do your best impression!
Naming[edit]
The American English name, "Utter Nonsense", comes from a phrase referring to something false or silly, as well as playing on the meaning of the word "utter" both as a verb and as an adjective.
