TBA!
== Modes ==
=== Story Mode ===
A single-player mode where the player selects a character and follows through the game's storyline, playing against CPUs in a 4-player Battle Royale, though on Bowser Jr.'s Casino Calamity, and on Bowser's Lair of Despair, they will play against some of Bowser's minions in the roster (Spike, Boo, Blooper, Shy Guy, Paratroopa, Hammer Bro., and/or Bandit) in either a Duel Battle, or a Battle Royale. At the end of each board, the player will have to face a the board's boss if they place first on the board, otherwise they will be forced to replay the board or quit. Beating the boss will cause the player to continue forward to the next board, and losing will give the player a chance to replay the boss and try again, or quit.
=== Party Mode ===
A multi-player mode where up to 4 players (8 players if you do a Partner Royale), either controlled by humans or CPUs and select a board to play on if it is unlocked. The player can change the CPU difficulty, enabling or disabling hazards/gimmicks, Bubbles and Bonus Stars, change the number of turns (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 turns), etc in the settings menu. There are many ways the player can play in Party Mode:
*Battle Royale: A free-for-all battle. Four player select their own characters, select a board to duke it out on, and play against others in minigames which involves skill, endurance, dexterity, etc to see who is the superstar.
*Team Battle: A 2v2 battle. Two players team up against the other two players and duke it out on a board, partaking in 2v2-based minigames.
*Duel Battle: A 1v1 battle against two players, who duke it out on a board, participating in Duel minigames only.
*Partner Battle: A mode that returns from Mario Party 7, where up to 8 players that form into 4 teams of 2, can duke it out on a board, playing unique, 8-player minigames. Unlike Mario Party 7, players can play separately from each other.
== Gameplay ==
As stated before, Mario Party XI returns to the old gameplay formula seen from the first Mario Party game up to Mario Party 8; all players move around the selected board, landing on spaces that either assists or hinders player in some form or another. Scattered across the boards are Bubbles, which act similar to the Orbs, Capsules, and Candies from Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7, and Mario Party 8 respectively, which the player can collect, but can only hold up to three of them at once, and can either buy or sell Bubbles at shops. Coins can be collected across the board, by certain events, doing well in minigames, and can be used to gain a Star for twenty coins. After the four player cycle, a minigame is played, depending on what space each player lands on, a Free-for-All, 2v2, or 3v1 Minigame will be played.
Before the last five turns starts, a mini-event occurs, and the player in last place gains a random Bubble as a constellation prize, the coins received/taken away from Blue and Red Spaces are increased by two, and landing on the same space as someone will trigger a Duel Minigame between the two players. During the last turn, all Bubbles cannot be obtained, either by passing Bubble Spaces or buying them at the shop, and after all turns are up, the Bonus Star ceremony will play out (if it is turned on), and then the player with the most Stars and Coins will become the Superstar, and all coins collected by players will be added to the Bank, and all stars collected add up to about fifty coins.
After getting first place in a board in Story Mode, the player will face a boss, otherwise they will receive a Game Over and be forced to replay the board. After beating the boss, the player moves on through the mode to the next board, however if they lose, they will be given the options to replay the boss and try again or quit.
== Playable Characters ==
Mario Party XI has a total of twenty-three characters in its roster, the most out of all other installments. Some characters from past games reappear, though some are excluded, like Magikoopa, and Koopa Kid.

== Boards ==
=== New boards ===
Board 	Description 	Boss
Piranha Plant Park 	Piranha Plant Park is the first board in the game, and thus, it has little to no gimmicks at all. This makes the board easy to navigate without any trouble whatsoever. The board is a generic, grassy plain-like board, and the goal is pretty much simple, find the star space, land on it, and pay 20 coins for a Star. 	TBA!
Buzzar's Rugged Road 	Buzzar's Rugged Road is the second board in the game. It takes place in an area similar to Mt. Rugged from the original Paper Mario; a rugged, rocky mountain where, at the top, a Star is given for free by Toadsworth, though afterwards, Buzzard appears and takes his place, and will take 20 coins, or a star from the player who reaches the top first, but only if Buzzard thinks you are not on Bowser's side, otherwise he will take you back to the beginning of the board. The cycle repeats afterwards, though landing on a Happening Space will cause the cycle to change automatically. 	TBA!
Toy Box Town 	Toy Box Town is the third board in the game. It takes place in a toy box, where there are three wind-up boxes scattered across the board that makes something pop out; a Star, some Coins, or a punching glove that knocks player to the start of the board. After obtaining a Star or a Ztar, the wind-up boxes reset, with a new Star hidden in one of them. Mini, wind-up toy version of the playable cast can also be seen as well. 	TBA!
Chime's Melody March 	Chime's Melody March is the fourth board in the game. It is a music-themed board that takes place in a musical-themed carnival, hosted by a character called Chime. You can visit him in his tent, and visiting him will cause the player to play in a small minigame, playing an instrument they select, and if they perform well, they will be given a Star. Otherwise, Chime will mock them for their terribleness and kick them out of his tent, daring them to come back and try again. 	TBA!
King Boo's Twisted Library 	King Boo's Twisted Palace is the fifth board in the game. It is a horror-themed board taking place in an eerie castle, home to King Boo. Scattered across the board are paintings with a ghost on them. One of the ghosts will trade a Star for 20 coins, while others steal 20 coins from you, or a Star if you have one, giving it to another player who they come across. The paintings change after one player meets the ghost that gives out a Star. 	TBA!
Bowser Jr.'s Casino Calamity	Bowser Jr.'s Casino Calamity is the sixth board in the game. It is a board that looks similar to Jr. Street from Mario Hoops 3-on-3, and is named after Bowser Jr., who acts like the guide of the board, although not in the way you would typically assume. The main feat of the board is a slot machine located at the top middle of the board. By collecting Slot Coins by winning minigames, the player can use the slot machine, and can get a few coins by matching up three coins, gain a free star by matching up three Stars, gain a random Bubble by matching up three Bubbles, lose coins by matching up three Bowser Jr. symbols, and a Ztar by matching up three Ztars.

Mario's Rainbow Castle 	Mario's Rainbow Castle is a sky-themed board that originates from Mario Party, with the main objective remaining unchanged from its game origin. Players must reach the center of the board, ride a Fwoosh to the top of the tower, where they are greeted by Toadsworth, and will be granted a Star. After this, Lakitu will take the player to the start of the board, and Toadsworth's place changes with Bowser, who will give the player a Ztar that takes thirty coins or a Star from them if they have at least one of the latter. The process repeats itself. 	
Western Land 	Western Land is a western-themed board that originates from Mario Party 2. It has notably decreased in spaces from its game origin, only have 96 spaces instead of 114 (since Bank Spaces are not included in the game, they have been removed, and all Item Spaces are now Bubble Spaces), the Steamer has been replaced with the K64 from Paper Mario, and the main objective has been changed. At the turn number that is an even (ex. turn 2), a gang of Little Mousers will appear, with Ms. Mowz from Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door leading them, robbing the bank that appears on the right-hand top of the board. Players must reach there before they escape, and return the money back to the bank. Afterwards, the bank owner will give the good-deed-doer a Star as a token of gratitude. 	
Creepy Cavern 	Creepy Cavern is a cavern-themed board that originates from Mario Party 3.

The board is slightly larger in terms of spaces (having 71 spaces rather than 67; the capsule machine from its game origin is now replaced with a Bubble Space) and is more aesthetically enhanced than in its game origin. Gooper Blooper now appears in the sunken ship and has three treasure chests the player can choose after he performs jugglery, with one containing a Star and the others either containing coins or nothing. Afterwards, Gooper Blooper sends the player to the start of the board. The manta that appears in one of the Happening Spaces is replaced with a purple Jumbo Ray named Ray. 	
Castaway Bay 	Castaway Bay is a tropical-themed board that originates from Mario Party 6.

Neon Heights 	Neon Heights is an American-themed board that originates from Mario Party 7, taking place on a complex skyscraper loosely based on Las Vegas, Nevada. All Mic Spaces are removed, all Orb Spaces are now changed to Bubble Spaces, and the objective remains the same for this board's iteration, though Koopa Kid is replaced with Bowser Jr., and there is four chests instead of three, and that chest has a Piranha Plant that snatches 20 coins or a Star from the player.

The use of the word "spastic" has now been changed to the word "erratic" in all copies of the game outside of the U.K, there are more Lucky Spaces, and all DK Spaces are now Bowser Spaces. The objective of the board remains unchanged, though a different colored Shy Guy is now conducting the train due to the Red Shy Guy being a playable character in the game.

Boos are also present, appearing from portraits when a player passes it, moving three spaces after the last player's turn, and if they get close enough, they will lick the player and takes five coins from them. A main objective is now included, and is just to reach one of three Star Spaces that will give the player a Star, while the other two are fakes, made by Peepas. The player can also visit Professor E. Gadd on the board, who will give the player a ride on his Super Poltergust 3001 from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Star for five coins, blasting through to the start of the board, and also taking coins from player and sucking in any Boos spawned on the board when they reach them.
