Minigames are played, selected by a roulette, at the end of every turn, and the type of minigame is determined by the spaces players landed on. If all players land on the same-colored space as each other, a Free-for-all minigame is played. If one player lands on a different, non-green space than the rest of the players, a 1-vs-3 minigame is played, where players who land on the same-colored space are placed in the same team as each other. If players land on an equal amount of non-green spaces, a 2-vs-2 minigame is played, teamed up depending on the color; Team Minigames may be thrown into the mix, where the player's current allies may participate if they are received. If players land on a Green Space, the color is randomly determined to be either blue or red. Prior to playing the minigame, players view the rules; each minigame comes with its own rules and controls. Players can practice the minigame in the instruction menu prior to starting the minigame, instead of using a separate button to practice. Whichever player wins the minigame earns the most coins, while players who do not perform as well earn less coins. In Partner Party, Free-for-all, 2-vs-2, and Team Minigames are played; due to the mode having no colored spaces, all of those minigames show up in the Minigame Roulette.

*'''Minigame Star''': Given to players who have won the most coins in minigames.

*'''Rich Star''': Given to players who have collected the most coins throughout the game.

==Items==

===Dice Blocks===

*Dice Blocks unique to each character that can be used any time they roll. They have the opportunity to increase their maximum number of rolls, affect their coin count, increase the chance of getting a number, or even cause them to get a 0. The player can also use a teammate's Dice Block if they have one with them. The following has all of the numbers on each character's Dice Block.

Dice Blocks marked with an asterisk (*) are character Dice Blocks reused from Toad Scramble in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. In Wario's case, his Dice Block was originally used by Waluigi instead.

*Rather than a simple menu, there is now a complete controllable hub world.

*Character selection now comes before selecting any in-game modes.

*In Partner Party, the dice rolls are shared between the two players.

*Reflecting the original ''Mario Party'' gameplay, the free-for-all minigames always treat only the 1st-placed character as the winner regardless of what rank characters placed, much like in other ''Mario Party'' games prior to ''Mario Party 9''.

**By extension, the minigame results screen also appears to be more similar to ''Mario Party'' games prior to ''Mario Party 9'': result animations are shown in the minigame itself instead of on a separated, simple screen, and 2nd- and 3rd-place result animations and rankings on the screen are no longer present, instead only showing the name of the 1st-placed character, and the losers use one specific animation (the 4th-ranked animations from previous games for most returning characters) regardless of what rank they placed.

*This is the first game since the international versions of ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' to have a female announcer.

*This is the first home console game since ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' where Toad is not playable.

==Reception==

===Critical reception===

Casey Gibson of Nintendo World Report gave ''Super Mario Party'' an 8/10,<ref>Gibson, Casey. (October 3, 2018) [http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/48544/super-mario-party-switch-review ''Super Mario Party'' (Switch) Review.] ''Nintendo World Report''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> praising this direction of the ''Mario Party'' series favorably compared to the ''Mario Party'' titles where "everyone was placed in the same vehicle, which would then move around the board at the same time." While Gibson has noted that the time can feel "drawn out" while playing with computer players, it was noted that the pacing can feel better than played with friends. Gibson has additionally praised the assortment of the 80 minigames where they are "actually a ton of fun and are pulled off very well", citing [[Sizzling Stakes]] as one of the favorite minigames played. The most jarring criticism from Gibson has been directed towards the online play and its features and options (which she considers restrictive), such as its rotation of 10 minigames, where she summarizes, "Overall, although the mode is fun, it won't likely see much playtime as you repeat the same few games over and over. It's a tease of what could be, but ultimately fails to add much value to the overall package." Colette from My Nintendo News gave the game an 8/10, echoing sentiments from Gibson, citing the previously released ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as disappointing, as well as stating "the less said about ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' (2013), the better", while praising ''Super Mario Party'' in comparison, saying it "changes the sour flow into something much sweeter."<ref>Colette. (October 3, 2018) [https://mynintendonews.com/2018/10/03/review-super-mario-party-for-nintendo-switch/ Review: ''Super Mario Party'' For Nintendo Switch.] ''My Nintendo News''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> Colette has cited elements of minigames that she found frustrating, such as the CPU players in [[Pull It Together]] in the Challenge Road, but has otherwise mostly praised minigames seen as fun. Colette additionally criticizes the online functionality (finding it to be disappointing), although she did note that ''Super Mario Party'' was the first ''Mario Party'' game to feature online play.

==Glitches==

In [[King Bob-omb's Powderkeg Mine]], if the player uses a [[Golden Pipe]] while at the [[Blue Space]] directly in front of [[King Bob-omb]], the pipe will clip through the countdown timer.

In the [[Kamek's Curse]] route, one of the [[Dash Panel]]s can be hit at a certain angle and, upon being hit, boosts the player out of bounds into the cliffside, [[unwinnable state|softlocking them]].<ref>[https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/189797367130/in-the-river-survival-mode-of-super-mario-party Supper Mario Broth]</ref>
