Mario Party: The Top 100: Difference between revisions

Hosted by Toad, this game mode serves as the game's only board-type mode and plays similarly to Balloon Bash from the previous installment, ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. Players travel around a small board, rolling the [[Dice Block|dice]] that dictates their movement. Prior to starting the game, players can set the number of turns the game has between ten and fifty, in multiples of five; games that have fewer turns end more quickly than games that contain more. All players also choose a minigame pack from which minigames during the game will be selected. Similar to Balloon Bash, players need to pop [[Star Balloon]]s dotted across the board, as collecting the most stars is essential to winning the game. Star Balloons come at a price of ten coins, and if players cannot afford the star, they cannot receive the star. Once popped, Star Balloons respawn in another area of the board, giving other players opportunities to purchase them. Star Balloons can come in bundles of one, two, three, four, or five, with their prices adjusting depending on the amount offered. If players cannot afford all Star Balloons in a bundle upon collection, the rest of the balloons are discarded. Players can earn more coins by doing well in minigames, as well as by collecting them around the board and popping various [[Minigame Balloon]]s. A 30-coin bonus can be earned if players pass by all three stamp spaces (Shy Guy, Koopa Troopa, and Goomba) on the board. Items return and assist players against their opponents: players can obtain items by landing on the random event "!" spaces, landing on [[? Block]] spaces, or via purchasing them from [[Shy Guy Shop]]s. When two players land on the same space as each other, they receive a "Tight Squeeze Bonus", awarding them one coin each. [[Last Five Turns Event|When the last five turns are reached]], Toad gives a pity item to the player who is in last place. At the end of the game, three Bonus Stars are rewarded to players that met certain criteria, such as popping the fewest Star Balloons.

|footer=[[Piranha's Pursuit]] from ''Mario Party'' (left) and ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' (right), showcasing one of the many differences between minigames.

*Some minigames change their controls to take advantage of Nintendo 3DS hardware. Examples include [[Kareening Koopas]] and [[Crate and Peril]] using the gyroscope while [[Crank to Rank]] has players using the touch screen to rotate the crank.

*In [[Soar to Score]], the spinning rope spins much slower compared to its version in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. Likewise, in ''Mario Party 10'', the character launches 90 degrees away from where they are actually going to land, while ''The Top 100'' fixes this error by having the character launch in the direction at the moment {{button|3ds|a}} is pressed.

**The 80- and 100-point victory animations in Soar to Score are reversed compared to the original version.

In [[The Final Battle! (minigame)|The Final Battle!]], if the player has only one heart, then defeats Bowser and jumps into the lava before "Finish!" appears on-screen, they will remain standing in the lava until the victory screen.{{Ref needed}}
