'''''Mario Party: Star Rush''''' is a game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is the second [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' game]] released for the system after ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', and the fifteenth game overall (twenty-second if arcade games are counted). The game, as with most entries of the ''Mario Party'' series, is a multiplayer-oriented party game, where up to four players compete in an interactive, digital board for the most stars. What sets this game apart from its precedents in the ''Mario Party'' series is its main mode, Toad Scramble, where, instead of players using designated ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters from the start, take control of a color-coded member of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] species and collect ''Mario'' characters around the board. Also unlike other ''Mario Party'' games, all players move at one turn, streamlining the gameplay. The board designs are non-linear as well, also unlike previous boards in the ''Mario Party'' series, where players travel in a straight line around the boards. This concept is retained in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', in the Minigame Match mode. The game is compatible with [[amiibo]], which have various different uses depending on the mode that is played on. The game requires 3018 blocks for a digital download from the [[Nintendo eShop]].

The game requires 3018 [[Memory Card|block]]s (386.3 MB) for a digital download from the [[Nintendo eShop]].


''Mario Party: Star Rush'' also has a version of the game called ''Mario Party: Star Rush - Party Guest''. This app can be downloaded off the Nintendo eShop for free. While it can be played alone with very restricted minigames, the primary focus of the app is to play full multiplayer with other players with only one game cartridge. If a player buys ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', they can transfer saved data from ''Mario Party: Star Rush - Party Guest'' to the game.

''Mario Party: Star Rush'''s board gameplay is the main focus of the game. Players traverse around a  board, using a [[Dice Block]] numbered from 1-6. Due to the nature of the boards, most spaces landed on the boards in ''Mario Party: Star Rush'' do not trigger a special effect, while there are very few spaces that do: for example, specifically landing on a ''? Block'' space grants the player a random item for use. Minigames can be collected from playing Toad Scramble and Coinathlon, with both modes having different ways play a minigame; in Toad Scramble, for example, players need to pass a [[Coin Balloon]] to trigger a minigame.

Toad Scramble is the only mode where players cannot choose a designated ''Mario'' character, instead, starting out with a colored member of the Toad species, corresponding to a player; said ''Mario'' characters can be used only when collected in the board, set as the leader, or with a use of an amiibo. In all other modes, however, players can choose and play as a specific ''Mario'' character, including [[Toad]] himself as an option if players wish to play as a Toad in other modes.

The game features a hub for a main menu, where players can visit areas by either using touchscreen controls or moving around. Toad is the default character, but players can change their hub character by visiting the Character Museum. When players reach Level Star, a giant gold Mario statue can be seen over the Character Museum.

Up to four players can enjoy Toad Scramble, the central mode of ''Mario Party: Star Rush''. Each player in the beginning starts out with a member of the Toad species, where their colors correspond to each player: red being Player 1, blue being Player 2, green being Player 3, and yellow being Player 4. Players are then notified of the appearance of a boss character in the map, as well as potential ally characters that the Toads can recruit. The goal of the game is to amass the most [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]], where players can retrieve Stars by placing first in boss minigames. Players can face off against bosses by landing on the space in front of them. Every time a boss minigame is completed, a new boss appears on the board on a different spot. Up to five bosses can appear on a board. When a player plays against a boss, other players need to tap {{button|3ds|A}} to travel to the boss space to participate as well.

When players recruit ally characters, the ally characters help out by increasing dice roll amounts with their own special Dice Blocks and helping the players earn points simultaneously in Boss Battle minigames. Ally characters have certain field abilities unique to them as well; for example, [[Mario]] can stomp on [[Goomba]]s in grass while [[Princess Peach]] can make flowers bloom. Whenever a player recruits an ally character, they can switch characters before the start of any turn in order to directly use them. Up to four ally characters can be recruited for each team, having five characters in total at play. Players can duel each others' ally characters by participating in an Ally Duel, either by landing on the same space as another player or by using a [[Dueling Glove|Duel Glove]]. When an Ally Duel is triggered, one of the several events happen. One event is a Dice Block roll: the two players roll a die; whoever rolls higher wins. Another event has players choose cards with numbers facing upside-down; whoever picks a higher numbered card wins. The last event is stopping a displayed, then hidden timer for 5 seconds: whoever stops closer to 5 seconds wins. When players win the Ally Duel, they can select and steal an ally from the losing player. If the losing player does not have an ally character, the winning player earns [[coin]]s instead.

Dotted throughout the board are coins that can be collected by running through them. Players can land on special spaces as well, such as a [[? Block]], which gives players an item that can help players and hinder their opponents. Players can land on a [[Lakitu]] space, where at a fee of one coin, players can travel to another player's space, where an Ally Duel occurs if this happens. [[Cannon]]s can blast players to marked locations elsewhere on the board. Some boards come with unique features, such as [[World 2-2 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-2]] featuring [[Peepa]]s impersonating as allies and punishing players that pick them up or rising lava in [[World 4-1 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 4-1]] that burns players who are too low in elevation to other areas of the board as well as taking away some coins.


When a player passes through a [[Coin Balloon]], the player earns coins, as well as starting a minigame. Similar to the Battle minigame of previous ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' installments, the player who landed on the space can choose a minigame out of four randomly selected, rather than traditionally letting a roulette decide which minigame to play. [[Duel Balloon]]s function in a similar manner, except the player who wins first place in the minigame can select and steal other rivals if other players have rivals; if the minigame ends in a tie, a card duel similar to the one in an Ally Duel is played to determine who can steal rivals.

In final boards of each World, [[Bowser]] always appears as the final boss. When a Boss Battle is about to be started with him, he punishes the player furthest from him in a variety of ways, decided by a roulette similar to events from [[Bowser Space]]s from previous entries. If a player does not have the items Bowser demands, Bowser either does nothing or rewards them instead depending on the penalty.

At the end of the game, the game rewards bonus coins (if the game is not played on any [[World 0 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 0]] boards) for the following criteria being met. Three of each are chosen at random:

At the end of the game, the game rewards bonus coins (if the game is not played on any [[World 0 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 0]] board) for the following criteria being met. Three of these criteria are chosen at random:
*'''Wanderer Bonus''': Awarded to players who started the least Boss Battles.

After these have been awarded, players are awarded with a Lucky Ally bonus for coins, which can be any ally partner, including amiibo characters. Coins are then converted to Stars, with every 10 coins equaling one Star. Whichever player has the most Stars at the end of the game is the winner. Depending on how many Stars were earned, players can earn a Star Rush or, with many Stars earned, a Super Star Rush, and the game marks maps that these accolades have been won in.

In a mode that up to four players can play, players must collect as many coins as they can in a set of three 60-second designated coin minigames, labeled under "Coin Chaos" to progress a set number of laps around a map. As players collect coins in minigames, they proceed through the map as the minigames happen. Players can earn a variety of items via collecting coins; when characters collect enough coins, a transparent box containing an item shows up. Players can retrieve the item by touching the box, and when players press {{button|3ds|X}}, they can momentarily use that item to either stun their opponents or help them gain an advantage in collecting coins. The items available are [[Coin|Coin Trio]], [[Blooper]], [[Lava Bubble]], [[Lightning Bolt]], [[Kamek]], [[Double Medal]], and [[Coin Bag]], and the frequency of these items change depending on the placement of the players. Initially, the three minigames start out as Level 1 minigames, but after one cycle of all three minigames, a Level 2 variation of the three minigames are played, where there are more hazards and coins to collect, and it goes up to Level 3, the most challenging variation of the minigames. Whichever player crosses the finish line first wins the game. Records are kept for the time spent on a course; when players complete a course faster, the high score will be overwritten by a new one.

Records are kept for the time spent on a course; when players complete a course faster, the high score will be overwritten by a new one.


In longer games, [[Bowser]] can show up to force players to play Bowser's Gauntlet minigames; players first receive a warning when a Bowser's Gauntlet minigame will occur, which occurs before the next minigame. Players need to survive the minigames; when players get eliminated, they get sent back a number of spaces, depending on how early they got eliminated. If players survive the minigame, they receive no penalty.

Coinathlon comes in two modes. One mode is Free Play Mode, where players can choose the number of players, laps, and minigames available. The other mode, Rival Race, players can take on a series of challenges to try to earn 10 consecutive wins. The further the player gets on, the harder the challenges get.

Mario Shuffle is a two-player oriented game mode that focuses on amiibo functionality. Players race across a linear, one-way board to a goal with amiibo. The red team tries to make it to the very right of the board, while the blue team tries to make to the left side of the board. Players roll two dice, and allow the outcome of the dice to affect two figurines. When a player crosses an opposing piece, the player jumps over the piece, making that piece unable to move for one turn. If a player lands on an opposing piece, the player knocks the piece back to the start of the board. Players can land on spaces that either make the piece continue further or moving back, depending on the directions on the space. If players do not have amiibo, a cardboard cut-out of a player character is used instead. A total amount of six characters can be used, each split into two teams of three. The first team who makes it across the board to their goal wins the game.

Up to four players must collect coins and stars on a mini board with 10, 20, or 30 turns and minigames after a player touches a coin balloon. The gameplay is very similar to Toad Scramble, except players navigate through smaller boards and are able to use designated ''Mario'' characters rather than a player Toad, and the main goal of the game is to collect the most Stars from [[Star Balloon]]s that can appear in parts of the board. Players can earn Stars if they spend 10 coins on arrival with a Star Balloon. Star Balloons can come in twos or threes, and players can purchase multiple of them at once if they have the funds. When a Coin Duel is initiated, just as an Ally Duel for Toad Scramble, whichever player wins the Coin Duel earns coins.

Similar to Toad Scramble, in the last parts of the game, the game rewards the players in last place with an item, such as a Duel Glove or extra coins. At the end, results are tallied up, with Bonus Stars given depending on the players' performances. Most of these bonuses are the same from Toad Scramble, barring some features exclusive to Toad Scramble. Also similar to Toad Scramble, players can earn Star Rushes and Super Star Rushes if they have enough Stars.

Players can initially choose an instrument from the orchestra instrumental set, which each has a different set of notes while the percussion set is unlocked when the players achieve an A rank on 5 different songs. After every song, the player is graded due to their performance: attaining a lot of "Perfects" grades players higher while missing some notes degrades the score. Players can select CPU players to fill in player slots, however, they have no effect on the performance and are therefore props. There are ten songs in total:

A single player game where a player climbs a tower with LED spaces on it. Players need to pay attention to the color of the spaces as they ascend, while also avoiding [[Amp]]s on their way up the tower. Blue spaces are safe to proceed in any direction, yellow means that there is an Amp in one direction, red means there are two Amps in two directions, and purple spaces mean that the space is surrounded by Amps. Black spaces are spaces not climbed on at the moment. X spaces means that space cannot be climbed on. Players can mark spaces with a checkmark using {{button|3ds|A}},{{button|3ds|B}}, {{button|3ds|X}}, and {{button|3ds|Y}} to help mark locations with Amps in them. Finally, Amps cannot be adjacent to each other. At first, players have the options to climb the following towers: Beginner, which has 30 floors, Intermediate which has 50 floors, and Expert, which has 70 floors. If all are played, players can unlock the 500-floor Master Tower. In the Master Tower, players can save their game for every 100th floor reached. When players clear the Master Tower, they unlock the Tower Cup.

Players need to download the ''Mario Party: Star Rush - Party Guest'' app off the Nintendo eShop into an available SD card slot and then hook up with systems that have a copy of ''Mario Party: Star Rush'' to enjoy.

''Mario Party: Star Rush'' has a total of 53 minigames, a considerably lower amount than its predecessors (in comparison, ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' has 81 minigames and ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' has 75 minigames). As in all ''Mario Party'' games, minigames are unlocked for the Minigames collection simply by playing them. In Toad Scramble and Balloon Bash mode, players select and play 4 out of a total of 26 Free-For-All minigames when they pass a Coin Balloon, whereas in Coinathlon, players play three minigames from a pool of 12 minigames under the label "Coin Chaos". In the Minigames collection, Coin Chaos minigames function as single player minigames, where players try to get a high score from all three variations of the minigame, and the only items that appear are those that are beneficial to the player rather than offensive items.

On the lower end, Nick Gillham of God is a Geek gave ''Mario Party: Star Rush'' a 5 out of 10. He notes that while the game is initially fun, especially with other people, it wears out and the game does not have much staying power. He also criticized how the maps have too much empty space in them and that the extra modes are superfluous and not as good as Toad Scramble.<ref>Gillham, Nick.
