MNRS 10: Mario Party

## Series Chronology

***Mario Party*** is the tenth season of M&N's Reality Series, which premiered on October 9, 2022, and ended with Ghost T. being crowned the Ultimate Superstar after defeating Lumine S., Matt B., and JT Q. in the "Lava Land" Final Round game on November 20th, 2022.

It is a format adaptation of Nintendo's *Mario Party* video game series, where players move around a game board and compete in minigames in order to collect coins and stars. After several games, the winners compete in a final game for the title of Ultimate Superstar.

## Production

*Mario Party* was revealed as the name and format of the tenth season at the *Free Agents* Reunion Show on September 10, 2022. Applications opened on September 15, 2022, and closed eighteen days later on October 3, 2022. Anyone was eligible to apply without restriction. 37 people applied, 10 dropped, 11 were cut, and 16 went on to become the players competing in the game. The full cast was announced on October 8, 2022, and the season premiered on October 9, 2022.

Flair F., Sal N., and Sam A. were originally selected as players but declined their spot on the season.

The initial goal for the Cast was to have 32 players compete. Due to an excessive number of players dropping out during the Cast Finalization Process, the Production Team made the difficult decision to scale down the size of the game from 32 to 16, ultimately cutting 11 players.

For the first time ever, new production members were added to the production team: BluJay112#1823, GentG#1003, and NoahK#8445.

The series is produced and hosted by 'Mike'#3460, with production assistance from BluJay112#1823, GentG#1003, and NoahK#8445 and OldNewz#8387, and logo creation by OldNewz#8387.

## Format

The game functions similarly to the *Mario Party* video games. The 16 contestants were divided into 4 groups of 4 players, with each group competing in their own 20-turn game. The turn order for each game is randomly determined.

At the start of each players turn, they must roll a 10-sided die, determining how many spaces on the board they move. Positioned on the board is the Star Space, where a player can use coins to purchase a Star. To earn coins, players must land on Blue Spaces or win minigames. After every player has gotten to roll the dice and move on the game board, they must compete in a Minigame. Once a player buys a star, the Star Space will move to a new location on the game board. Along the way, players can also earn various items in order to help them in the game.

The objective of the game is to collect as many stars as possible, with placement ties being broken by coins. In the First Round, the two players with the most stars after 20 turns in each game will be declared the winners and advance to the Second Round. In the Second Round, the player with the most stars after 15 turns in each game will be declared the winner and advance to the Final Round.

The four 3rd place finishers from the First Round, and the two 2nd and 3rd place finishers from the Second Round will then compete in the Redemption Round. The player with the most stars after 15 turns in each game will be declared the winner and advance to the Final Round.

In the Final Round, the top 4 players will compete one final time in a 20 turn game. The winner of the Final Round is declared the Ultimate Superstar.
