Each amiibo unlocks a board and can be equipped with power-up tokens to use in a game.

The players use certain amiibo as pawns to go around the board.

This is a scaled down version of the traditional Mario Party (from the first 8 games, as there is no car). Once he catches the players, he initiates a Bowser minigame where the car players have to survive Bowser's onslaught. Each player rolls before Bowser's turn and Bowser gets to roll 4 dice plus some augmentations and a reroll if he rolls poorly enough. The goal is for the car to reach the end of the board while the GamePad player wants to deplete the car player's hearts. Minigame frequency has increased but the Captain Events have been removed.īowser Party functions similar to Classic Party but with the players trying to run from the GamePad player, who is Bowser. The players ride in a car, trying to get to the end and collecting the most Mini Stars. Bowser (only in Bowser Party and Amiibo Party mode)Įssentially, the game plays like Mario Party 9.In addition, Toadette returns after being the first, and currently only, character to be in one numbered Mario Party installment, removed from a future numbered installment, and then re-added in a later numbered installment. Also, Donkey Kong makes his first full playable appearance in the series since Mario Party 4. Toadette and Spike are unlockable through the Shop in Toad's Room.

Bowser is not playable in Mario Party mode, but is playable in other modes, and, despite previously being playable in Mario Party 4's Beach Volley Folly minigame, he is considered to be a new playable character. Of these characters, two ( Rosalina and Spike) are playable for the first time in the series. There are a total of thirteen playable characters in Mario Party 10. Other modes include Minigames and Toad's Room - the former has players simply playing minigames while the latter is where players can access a shop, a photo booth, and other items. Mario Party 10 offers three basic modes of play: Mario Party, Bowser Party, and amiibo Party each with their own unique styles of play.
