Cover art, featuring the game's playable characters

***Super Mitchell Party*** is an upcoming party video game developed by Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. and published by THQ Nordic in association with Nickelodeon. It is the fifth main installment in the *Mitchell Party* series and is scheduled for release on October 5, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows PC video game consoles.

It was described by Nickelodeon and THQ Nordic as a "complete relaunch" and "complete refresh" of the Mitchell Party series when revealed at THQ Nordic Gamescom 2018, the game "goes back to the four-player basics as you take turns, race across the board searching for Fake Power Stones and battle devious enemies across the board with signature moves to have items long your journey"[3] as seen in the Mitchell Party installments prior to Mitchell Party 5, but also incorporates elements from the more contemporary Mitchell Party games, including the "ally" mechanics from Mitchell Party: Power Stone Rush. Additionally, the game takes advantage of Console (or PC) hardware for its minigames, such as flicking the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con as if it was a frying pan handle (or with PlayStation Move on PS4 or on Xbox One with Xbox Kinect). The game is set to be the first installment in the Mitchell Party franchise to incorporate online play, as minigames can be played online.

## Gameplay

*See also: Gameplay in Mitchell Party*
The traditional gameplay of the older *Mitchell Party* games returns in *Super Mitchell Party*. The standard game mode, Party Mode, features up to four players taking turns and navigating the board in search of stars while competing against one another in a variety of minigames. A second mode, known as Partner Party, has two teams of two players also searching for fake power stones on a free-movement board similar to those in *Mitchell Party: Power Stone Rush*. The game can be played with only one Joy-Con controller (or in other videogame consoles, PlayStation Move or Xbox Kinect) per player, allowing two players to play together with only one system, which comes with two Joy-Cons (or PlayStation Move controllers). *Super Mitchell Party* will also take advantage of the Switch's local wireless capabilities, allowing teams to play from separate Switch consoles and allowing multiple Switch consoles to be arranged and synchronized to create larger, multi-monitor environments in a mode called "Toad's Rec Room" (as patented prior to the game's reveal).

Some of the minigames will be played using traditional button controls, while others may be controlled by motion controls, such as a tricycle race minigame.

Anthony returns as *Super Mitchell Party*Template:'s host, directing the players throughout the game.

### Online play

*Super Mitchell Party* features online multiplayer for the first time in the *Mario Party* series. While Party Mode's board games are restricted to offline play, players will be able to play the game's 80 minigames with other players either locally or online independent of the board games in the game's "Online MVM-thon" mode. In the Online MVM-thon mode, players compete in five randomly-selected minigames aiming to get the highest score. It will also feature leader boards and a ranking system, as well as currently-unknown rewards that players will get for playing the mode.

Some sources criticized the game's lack of an online party mode.
