All-Star Think Fast (stylized as All-Star TH!NK Fast) is an All-Star-themed trivia game show-based game developed by Magenta Software and published by Nintendo. The game was released for the Wii-U in North America on October 21, 2017, in Europe on December 5, 2017, in Japan on December 18, 2017, and in Australia on December 5, 2017 (the same day the Wii-U version of the game was released in Europe).
The game borrows its elements from the Scene It? DVD game franchise and is hosted by Mike from the WarioWare who introduces and gives results for each round. Each game contains 15 rounds and takes about 30–40 minutes to play. Some rounds require watching clips without the sound, and some where players have to answer trivia questions about episodes, and some where players have to guess what the artist is drawing. All-Star Think Fast is currently the only game developed by Magenta Software that has been released for the Wii-U.
Gameplay[]
All-Star Think Fast is a trivia game show-based game. Each game can be played with up to four players which players can play as various All-Star character series including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Star Fox, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Earthbound, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man. The game also includes 4 stages, including Mushroom Kingdom, Clock Town, Saffron City and Dreamland. Each game takes about 30–40 minutes and contains 15 rounds. Some rounds require players having to watch movie clips without the sound, some where players have to answer multiple-choice Trivia Questions about episodes, and some where players have to guess what the artist is drawing. There are over 5,000 questions, and each one has 2-4 multiple choice answers. Players get more points for correct answers as the rounds increase, and in later rounds, players get penalized for choosing wrong answers.
The game also contains unlockable characters for completing each game in world cup mode, depending on the stage they're playing on.
