'''''Mario Party: The Top 100''''' is a game in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released initially on November 10, 2017 in North America. It is the twenty-third game in the ''Mario Party'' series overall, as well as the third game in the series to be released for Nintendo 3DS. The game is a compilation of various [[minigame]]s from prior home console ''Mario Party'' games, all of which have been redone with updated graphics, sound, and controls, and some of which have slightly altered rules from the original games and recycled music from other games. The game is compatible with local wireless play and Download Play, which allows up to four players. The game supports [[amiibo]], which can be used in the Minigame Island mode or to unlock Minigame Packs. Being initially released approximately two months after its announcement, ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' has one of the shortest announcement to release timelines of retail games in the entire [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. | '''''Mario Party: The Top 100''''' is a game in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released initially on November 10, 2017 in North America.

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 [[?

[[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. | ||
When a Minigame Balloon is popped, a minigame will be played at the end of the turn. The minigame is chosen by a roulette, with each player selecting one of the minigames from their chosen minigame pack. If a minigame has been played, it cannot be selected again until all the other minigames in that player's minigame pack have been played. As well, the player's portion of the roulette is larger if they were the one to pop a balloon or if a [[Lucky Card]] is used, increasing the chances of their minigame being selected. Finally, the player whose minigame was chosen earns double the coins from the minigame. If two of the same minigame was part of the roulette, if the minigame gets selected, the earnings are doubled. | When a Minigame Balloon is popped, a minigame will be played at the end of the turn.
