Mario Party 10

Mario Party 10 is a Wii U party game released in 2015, as the tenth home console installment and the fourteenth overall installment of the Mario Party series. It has several features from its predecessor, Mario Party 9. The game features a standard Party Mode, similar to its iteration from Mario Party 9, and a new mode called Bowser Party, in which one player controls Bowser using the GamePad, and exclusive minigames can be played. Mini Stars return in normal party, as well as vehicles in all modes except amiibo party mode. This game is also compatible with amiibo. Several voice clips are reused from Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: Island Tour.
==Gameplay==
Mario Party 10 plays out similarly to Mario Party 9. All the players ride in a vehicle depending on mode and they will collect mini-stars. There is also a mode called amiibo party in which players can move around the board freely and separated much like the gameplay style in Mario Party 8. Also, a fifth player with the gamepad can control Bowser in Bowser Party. Bowser can affect the players on the board and in mini-games.
==amiibo==
Amiibos can be used to play amiibo Party, there is a special Super Mario amiibo wave coming out with the game.
A special token can also be assigned to an amiibo that players can use during the game.
All other amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series grant an amiibo Bonus. Tapping any other amiibo to the Gamepad unlocks a Scratch Ticket, which unlocks Mario Party Points that can be used to buy many things within the game.
*amiibo Party
amiibo Party is a special game unlocked by scanning an amiibo, you use the special Super Mario Wave to play it, you can use 1 amiibo to play as, and other players can use different amiibos.
==Game types==
===Bowser Party===
Bowser Party is a game with up to 5 players. The person on the GamePad plays as Bowser, while the others on the Wii Remotes are the other characters. There will be five players instead of four. One player controls Bowser using the GamePad, and up to four others use Wii Remotes to play against him as Mario and his friends. Mini Stars are replaced by Hearts. The goal of Bowser is to delete all the other players' hearts, while the goal of the other players is to make it to the end of the course with at least one heart between them. Bowser rolls multiple dice, corresponding to the number of other players available. If Bowser catches up to the other players, he forces them to play a randomly selected "Bowser Battle" minigame, where hearts are lost if the players are hit by his attacks. If all of the hearts from all four players should be completely depleted, Bowser wins. There are some obstacles on the path, like a Whomp blocking it, like in Perilous Palace Path from Mario Party: Island Tour.
===Mario Party===
Mario Party plays similarly to Mario Party 9, where the characters have to get to the end of the path with the most Mini Stars. Characters move around in vehicles taking turns being the captain and rolling the dice. The Mini Stars are thus returning from Mario Party 9. A brand-new feature is that Bowser is locked in the Gamepad with dice numbers. Each time the die is rolled, the corresponding lock will be unlocked (there are six locks, one for each number on the die). The player who unlocks the last lock loses half of their mini stars and Bowser will add a lot of Bowser spaces on the board. If Bowser isn't free until the "Almost There" event, he will remain stuck there and his son will add Bowser Jr. Spaces instead. Also, item shops return, this time in the form of Toad Houses, where a dice block is given to all players. All players are required to use Wii Remotes, as the Wii U GamePad is incompatible with this game mode.
===amiibo Party===
amiibo Party is a special game unlocked by scanning an amiibo. You can use amiibos from the Super Mario series or from the Super Smash Bros. series (compatible with only Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Rosalina, Wario, and Donkey Kong amiibos) to play it, you can use 1 amiibo to play as, and other players can use different amiibos.
====Free Play====
A mode to play minigames freely, without worrying about the competition. This mode appears in both Mario Party and Bowser Party.
====Coin Challenge====
Four characters play minigames and win Coins according to their ranking in the minigames. After three, five, or seven minigames, the character with the most Coins is declared the winner.
===Bonus Games===
The player can play a variety of Bonus Games here, with five in all:
====Badminton Bash====
Player(s) compete against the opposing player(s) to rebound the ball to their opposing court, aiming to get 21 points before their rival(s). This game can be in singles or doubles. In doubles, it is always "P1 and P2" vs. "P3 and P4".
====Jewel Drop====
Players try to remove jewels from their case while trying to prevent one jewel from going outside of their case. This game can be played in Solo or Duel mode. In Solo mode, the player tries to set the highest score they can. In Duel mode, players compete to see who can win two rounds first.
====Bowser Jr. minigames====
The player can play the two Bowser Jr. minigames: Bowser Jr.'s Clobber Cage and Bowser Jr.'s Bonk Battle. In amiibo Party, they can also be played when a player lands on a Bowser Jr. Space, where winning the minigame awards them 10 Coins (sometimes the player wins a Star instead) while losing docks 10 Coins from the player.
====Minigame Tournament====
A tournament by rounds where eight characters participate. Each round is a minigame, and characters who remain 1st and 2nd in the minigames make it to the next round. The final round is a head-to-head battle and the winner of the round claims tournament victory.
====Bowser Challenge====
Play all ten Bowser minigames as Bowser, trying to take the highest quantity of hearts, including making as many knockouts as possible. After all the minigames are done, Bowser Jr. assesses Bowser.
===Toad's Room===
Toad's Room is an extra mode, featuring a shop, a photo booth and a challenges mode.[6]
====Shop====
Players can buy characters, CPU Master Difficulty, vehicles for the boards, music, and models of characters and backgrounds to use them on the Photo Booth.
====Challenge List====
Players can see the challenges they completed and challenges yet to be completed.[7] [8] They can also see how much Party Points they can gain for completing it. There are 49 challenges in all.
====Photo Booth====
Players can take photos with the models of characters and backgrounds bought on the shop. They can also send their photos to Miiverse, a Nintendo Network ID is required.
====Music====
Players can listen to the songs bought on the shop.
====Staff credits====
