Mario Party 10 is an upcoming party video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the tenth home console installment in the Mario Party series that features many reused gameplay elements from its predecessor.
What does Mario Party 10 has to offer?
For the first time in the series, Mario Party 10 offers two basic modes of play:
First is a standard Party Mode (similar in gameplay to the Party Mode from Mario Party 9) and second: a new mode called Bowser Party (in which one player controls Bowser using the GamePad, and exclusive minigames can be played).
Mario Party is the normal gameplay, 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", or rolling the dice. The Mini Stars are thus returning from Mario Party 9. There will be some obstacles on the path, like a Whomp blocking it, like in Perilous Palace Path from Mario Party: Island Tour.
On the other, Bowser Party is the new mode from this game. There will be five players instead of four. Up to four players control Mario and his friends with Wii Remotes, with the fifth player playing against them by using the GamePad to control Bowser. Mini Stars are replaced by Hearts. The goal of Bowser is to deplete all the other players' hearts, whilst 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.
Playable characters include: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Wario, and Bowser (Bowser Party only).
There are also mini games added fun such as Fruit Scoot Scurry; A minigame in which players need to collect as much fruit as possible in a Layer-Cake Desert type area, Beeline Shrine; A minigame in which players must jump to avoid bees. Cheep Cheep Leap; A minigame in which players (in their invincible form) must jump to hit Cheep Cheeps, and Boss Battle Minigames. The latter includes Petey's Bomb Battle; A Boss minigame in which the players must throw Bombs at Petey Piranha.
Along with it, there is also minigames called Bowser vs. All minigame:
Bowser's Bad Breath - A Bowser Minigame where the GamePad player move the gamepad to angle Firballs to shoot at others.
Bowser's Fire Bar Fury - A game where the GamePad player tilts the gamepad to move Firebars to hit players.
Bowser's Painball - A game where the GamePad player plays a pinball machine with the other players inside.
Bowser's Wicked Wheel - A game where the GamePad player controls the speed of a spinning wheel to knock players into a pair of Amps.
