Mario Party 10

Mario Party 10 is an upcoming game for the Wii U. It is the tenth home console installment in the Mario Party series. The game features many reused gameplay elements from its predecessor. It is confirmed that the game has a standard Party Mode (similar in gameplay to the Party Mode from Mario Party 9) and a new mode called Bowser Party (in which one player controls Bowser using the GamePad, and exclusive minigames can be played). Mini Stars return in normal party, as well as vehicles in all modes. The game is also planned to be compatible with amiibo.

Gameplay
For the first time in the series, Mario Party 10 offers two modes of play: Mario Party and Bowser Party.

Mario Party
Mario Party is the normal gameplay, where the characters have to get to the end of the path with the most Mini Stars. The Mini Stars are thus returning from Mario Party 9. There will be some obstacles on the path, like a Whomp blocking it, like in Perilous Palace Path from Mario Party: Island Tour. Also, item shops return from Mario Party 7. At least one of them will be shaped like a Toad House.

Bowser Party
Bowser Party is the new mode from this game. There will be five players instead of four, with the fifth player using the GamePad to control Bowser. Mini Stars are replaced by Hearts. The goal of Bowser is to deplete all the other players hearts, whilst the goal of the other players is to make it to the end of the course with at least one heart between them. Bowser rolls multiple dice, corresponding to the number of other players available.
