Mario Party Superstars – Game Guide

This is my guide to all the minigames. Mario party superstars is one of my favorite games to play together whether it’s the party mode or just minigames.

Overall this is a very fun game and there are 105 minigames total.

4-Player minigames

These are Minigames that everyone is free for all, no teams. There are 53 minigames in this category.

Mushroom Mix-Up

In this minigame you have to see what color of sign Toad is holding (in the top right corner) and jump on that color mushroom. Last one standing wins.

Bombs Away

You must try to avoid the bombs and stay on the island. Last person standing wins.

Shy Guy Says

Copy the Captain Shy Guy’s flag by holding yours up too (R or L 2 joy-cons and SR and SL for 1 joy-con). Sometimes he tries to trick you by holding up one then putting it down real quick and do another one so wait a split second before holding your flag.

Crazy Cutters

Draw along the lines, Starting right is the best way to go. There are three different pictures you can do they are Boo, Blooper and Chain Chomp.

Tipsy Tourney

Walk around and try to reveal the picture before everyone else.

Face-Lift

Match Your Bowser’s Face to the one in the middle. Or do it completely wrong to be silly.

Hammer Drop

Colect coins and avoid the hammers.

Cast Aways

This one can be really tricky. The longer you flick the joy-stick the further they will fling out the rod.

Dizzy Dancing

This one can be hard at first but after awhile you can get the hang of it. Collect the music notes but the controllers are backwards.

Bumper Balls

It’s like Bumper Cars only with balls. There are three different course to play on they are Lava, Icy and Beach.

Hot Rope Jump

Like Jump Rope only the rope is made out of fire!

Tread Carefully

Shoot your rivels with balls from a tank. It is just like the “Shell Shocked Deluxe” minigame from Super Mario Party.

Bumper Balloon Cars

Also like Bumper Cars but you need to pop the other players’ balloons before they pop yours!

Sneak ‘n’ Snore

Sneak closer and close to the button so you can get out but not to fast because there is a Chain Chomp guarding you.

Mecha Marathon

Mash the A and B (or A and X if you have 1 joy-stick) to wind up your Mecha Shy Guy.

Slot-Car Derby

Race your little RC Car to win the race. There are three levels in this minigame.

Bowser’s Big Blast

Take your chances on which lever to pull that will make the Bowser Bomb blow up! (whenever we do this minigame it is usually green that does it.)

Roll Call

Count the Toads (or Boo and Bomb-ombs depending on which level you chose). Very similar to the “Goomba Spotting” minigame in this game or the “Senseless Census” in the Super Mario Party game.

Honeycomb Havoc

Choose to take one or two pieces of fruit from the tree. Try to avoid getting the beehive!

Snowball Summit

Roll up a really big snowball and try to push off the other players. If the snowball sparkles, then it’s guaranteed to push them off in one hit.

Ice-Rink Risk

Jump over the shells. Last person standing wins.

Bounce ‘n’ Trounce

Bounce and spin to knock other players off the edge.

Storm Chasers

Follow the cloud to make your plant grow bigger, avoid the Moles.

Mush Pit

The point of the game is to get the mushroom and then stomp on the other players. Like the picture you saw before it’s one of our favs. We played this minigame over 50 times.

Cheep Cheep Chase

This one is tricky. Mash the A button (or X button if you’re using 1 joy-con) to swim and move down on the joy-stick to dive and avoid the bombs.

Chip Shot Challenge

It’s Golf so if you played “Mario Golf Super Rush” you might like this minigame. Move the joy-stick left and right to aim your hit and up and down to raise and lower the power. I think it works best if you go last so you can base your move from what worked for other players.

Rockin’ Raceway

Press L and R (SL and SR if you’re using 1 joy-con) to rock your horse. Orange Carrots are good but Blue ones slow you down.

Messy Memory

Put the hats and other things in the place they were before. This one is super easy if you take a picture of it then copy from that.

Parasol Plummet

Try to collect coins but avoid the hammers. All you need to do is move the joy-stick but you can go up to the top by pressing the A (X for 1 joy-con) button.

Trace Race

Trace the line as good as you can to win, It’s not really a race. You can just wiggle up and down to cover the most of the outline which ever way you prefer.

Booksquirm

Fit into the hole and don’t get squished!

Paths of Peril

Try to stay on the path. It’s kinda like the minigame “Isthmus Be the Way” from Super Mario Party.

Dinger Derby

Like baseball, hit the ball with your bat. They can throw you fastballs, slowballs and two balls at once.

Leaf Leap

Jump on the leaves, Left and right. It’s sort of like the minigame “What Goes Up…” in this game.

Pushy Penguins

The Penguins are getting their revenge from the minigame “Penguin Pushers” from Super Mario Party! Anyway just move the joy-stick to try to get through the maze of Penguins.

Coney Island

Go under the shadows to catch ice cream scoops. It’s just like the “Snack Attack” minigame from Super Mario Party only ice cream instead of popcorn.

Bill Blasters

You’re spinning around and you must time shooting at the other players. The more you get hit the slower your character will spin.

Night-Light Fright

Wait to the last second before the chain chomp gets you to shine the light at them. Just so you know, the other players’ chain chomps are not all going to be there at the same time that makes it so you can’t just copy the other players and tie.

Later Skater

Hold the A (or X if you’re using 1 joy-con) to move forward and the joy-stick to move left or right.

Catch You Letter

Grab the letters are the ground and try to catch up to the shy guy. If the letter has a heart on it that means it worth more points.

Trap Ease Artist

Wait until the most goombas are under your trap then press the A (or X) button to drop the trap. Gold Goombas are worth more points.

What Goes Up…

Jump on the flying Koopas and try to get as high as you can.

Snow Whirled

Press the A, X, Y and B buttons like you are moving around the joy-stick as fast as you can to score. Someone has man hands and basically it’s just like pressing one button for him.

Dark ‘n’ Crispy

Avoid Bowser who is lurking in the dark. Also watch out for his fire breath.

Pit Boss

Look out for the spike balls. Jump over them or move the joy-stick to dodge them.

X-Ray Payday

Watch on the left to see what you should open.

Monty’s Revenge

It’s like Whack a Mole only you’re the Mole. Try to stay up as long as possible but don’t get hit by the Moles.

The Final Countdown

Try to stay on the biggest number. Once it counts down to 0 that means it will open and you will fall!

Pokey Pummel

Mash the A (or X) button to hit the Pokey with your hammer.

Manor of Escape

Test the doors to see which one will lead to the lower level.

Goomba Spotting

Press the A (or X for 1-joycon) to count the goombas.

Flash Forward

Similar to the “Slaparazzi” minigame from Super Mario Party, Try to get as close the camera as posable. You can have up to three players on the plate. There are 5 different backgrounds you can choose from that are based on some of the minigames from this game.

Rapid River Race

Bobsled Run

At the beginning of this minigame you have to mash the A (or X for 1 joy-con) to get a good start. After that you can both move left or right (it works best if you both move the same way) and Avoid falling off the edge. Similar to the “Handcar Havoc” in this game only that has lava and this has ice.

Handcar Havoc

Dungeon Duos
