All 100 minigames can be selected and played on in this mode, similar to "Free Play" modes from previous games. Minigames can be sorted by game, type, or favorite status. Initially, players have access to only 55 minigames, most of them Free-for-All minigames. The rest of the minigames are unlocked through playing Minigame Island. Players can tag minigames as favorites to ease the process of selecting a minigame they wish to play in, thus creating their own pack. Players can create up to three favorite packs. The game also keeps track of how many times a particular minigame is played. When a minigame is completed, a player can opt to play again, return to the 100 minigames menu, return to the main menu, or play another randomly selected minigame that is unlocked. | All 100 minigames can be selected and played on in this mode, similar to "Free Play" modes from previous games.

After players select their player character, they can select a computer-controlled teammate for 2-on-2 minigames: if chosen as a teammate, these characters do not appear as rivals. Players compete against computer-controlled rivals as they travel through four worlds. Minigames are in a set location, with the aesthetics of the area surrounding the space giving a clue to what minigame the player can play in; due to some worlds having grid-like branching paths, players can also play minigames in a certain order they wish or skip certain minigames altogether. In order to beat this mode, players need to best their rivals through minigames and retain their lives given at the beginning of the game from not placing fourth. Players do not have to win the minigame to progress through Minigame Island: simply playing the minigame opens up paths to other minigames. Once a [[Warp Pipe]] is reached, Toad asks the player to either continue or quit the game, and if players continue, they can access the next World by jumping into Warp Pipes. Gradually, CPU difficulty gets harder the more players advance through the mode. | ||
When players receive first place in a minigame, they receive three [[Mini Star]]s and 10 coins. If they win against [[Bowser]], [[Donkey Kong]], or against another playable character in their respective minigames, they receive four Mini Stars; prior to entering [[World 4 (Mario Party: The Top 100)|World 4]], players face off against Toad himself in [[Slot Car Derby]] with other CPU players. Players receive less Mini Stars when they place second and third, and performing the worst in the minigame loses a life.

Players receive less Mini Stars when they place second and third, and performing the worst in the minigame loses a life. Earning Mini Stars from placing well in minigames unlocks certain Special type minigames. Players can earn lives when they receive 100 coins. Players can find [[Roulette Coin Block]]s in the map (marked by an ! space) and can receive an amount of coins depending on what number they hit, though a ! space can also indicate that there is a Bowser, Duel, or DK type minigame. Minigames unlocked through this mode will be available in 100 Minigames. If players clear all minigames, they unlock a harder variation of the mode, which has more difficult CPU opponents participating in minigames and makes a first-place victory mandatory to progress. If players earn all 300 Mini Stars by placing first in all minigames, they unlock the Master difficulty for computer players. | ||

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. | ||
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.

''Mario Party: The Top 100'' is compatible with all ''Mario'' related amiibo (except cards) in some modes. In Minigame Island mode, if players lose their last life, [[Toad]] asks the player if they want to scan an amiibo of the corresponding character to regain an extra life. Additionally, in Minigame Island, if players stand on a space with an amiibo icon, they can tap an amiibo to earn 10 coins. If a Goomba or Koopa Troopa stands on the amiibo space instead, players may tap a Goomba or Koopa Troopa amiibo respectively to earn a bonus 50 coins.

There are a total of 100 minigames in this game. Minigames are sorted through many different categories, one being their play-type. Free-for-All minigames involve a battle royale between all four players. 2-on-2 minigames have two teams of two working with each other to best the other team, while 1-on-3 minigames have asymmetrical gameplay of the lone character and the team of three characters attempting to win the minigame, which both sides have different rules to each other. Special minigames are typically lengthier and have more complex rules that abide differently than the aforementioned categories. | There are a total of 100 minigames in this game.

Minigames have seven different genres: Action, Skill, Racing, Sports, Brainy, Lucky, and Puzzler. Action minigames typically involve more intense environments, with the players actively competing against one another to either obtain the most points or to survive a minigame, examples being [[Ice Rink Risk]] and [[Tube It or Lose It]]. Skill minigames have players either having the most precise movements or input a control command the most to win the minigame, examples being [[Face Lift]] and [[Crank to Rank]]. Racing minigames are self-explanatory: players race against other opponents to complete the minigame the quickest, with examples being [[Slot Car Derby]] and [[Sphere Factor]]. Sports minigames are based off actual sports with simplified, minigame rules applied to them, examples being [[Three Throw]] and [[Chip Shot Challenge]]. Brainy minigames have players either thinking or memorizing commands to win the minigame, with examples being [[Strawberry Shortfuse]] and [[Honeycomb Havoc]]. Lucky minigames require players being lucky with what they selected to win the minigame, examples being [[Deck Hands]] and [[Pier Pressure]]. Finally, Puzzler minigames have players partake in various puzzles, either playing alone or with an opponent, and these minigames include [[Jewel Drop]] and [[Block Star]]. | Minigames have seven different genres: Action, Skill, Racing, Sports, Brainy, Lucky, and Puzzler.
