Mario Party 10 is, obviously, the tenth home console Mario Party game.
Story
Bowser steals the Mini Stars again and sends some of his minions to spy on Mario and the other playable characters. When Mario & co find out it was none other than Bowser, they attempt to retrieve the Mini Stars. Bowser then uses Mini Ztars to knock out the heroes and he turns Princess Peach's Castle into a board, the first board for that matter. The host of the game will be Lubba.
Game modes
Solo Mode
The main mode of the game. It involves the player going on all eight boards collecting Mini Stars while competing with two CPUs, or three if one counts Bowser's minion on that board. Completing it awards the player with 5000 party points. Obviously, if the player wins they get to go onto the next board. If another CPU wins however, that winning CPU and the player get to go onward, and if Bowser's minion wins, they lose.
Party Mode
The player goes around a board with three CPUs collecting Mini Stars, like Solo Mode except they don't go to the next board afterward and then to the next one. Party points are determined on how many Mini Stars the player has at the end.
Minigame Mode
- Free Play: The player gets to play as many minigames s/he chooses as long as s/he wants. Each minigame rewards 1 party point.
- Time Attack: The player must beat 10 randomly chosen minigames as fast as s/he can.
- Step It Up: The player must win minigames to climb the stairs. Whoever reaches the top first wins.
- Boss Run: The player must defeat a series of bosses to win.
