The Nintendo Switch game Mario Party Superstars received four content booster packs featuring games from throughout the series with the final content pack now released in June 2023. It is currently the only Mario Party game in the series to have received multiple major revisions, even after the first two years since it was released on the Nintendo Switch.

24/12/2021[]

The first free content update of the game added another board from Mario Party 3 to the board selection, that board being Waluigi's Island:

WaluigisIsland MP3

Original Appearance in Mario Party 3

  • Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Koopa Troopa's description: This was owned by Luigi a long time ago, but was taken over by Waluigi as a spite act of jealousy.

The game also added three more options to suit the player's standard of playing a game of Party Mode. Team Match, Duel Match and Custom Minigame Set. The main four player mode was renamed, Battle Royale.

Team Match[]

Team Match pits the four players into two teams of two. With the two teams pitted together they share Items, Coins and Stars and cannot be affected by each other's item effects. 4-Player Minigames and 1-VS-3 Minigames don't appear in this mode.

Duel Match[]

Duel Match pits two players against each other where only Duel mini-games are played after every turn.

Custom Minigame Set[]

The custom minigame set allows player to pick six out of the main minigames in each category, 4-Player, 1-VS-3, 2-VS-2 and Duel.

17/03/2022[]

The board in it's original appearance in Mario Party DS

  • Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Koopa Troopa's description: Owned by Bowser in his throne room, this pinball machine can fit even the tiniest of specimens inside of it! Be careful not to get lost in the zero zone though!

  • The coin jackpot slot in the middle of the board has changed from getting three matching icons to the player getting coins from the slot if the UFO icon hits the central spinner. More coins are awarded the sooner the player reacts.
  • The roulette on the right side of the board has been replaced with a Whac-a-Mole game where the player earns coins if they hit plastic dolls of Bowser and Bowser Jr. with the reward decreasing if they hit a Bob-omb. More coins are rewarded depending on how fast the player reacts to Bowser and Bowser Jr. popping up.
  • The six Friend spaces have been replaced with Lucky Spaces.
  • Three of the Blue Spaces are replaced with a Chance Time Space, a VS Space and an Item Space.
  • Bowser Spaces have been added to fit the theme of the board.

The five boards were, Goomba's Greedy Gala (Mario Party 4), Bowser Nightmare (Mario Party 5), Faire Square (Mario Party 6), Pagoda Peak (Mario Party 7) and Koopa's Tycoon Town (Mario Party 8).

The pack also included 24 minigames from Mario Party DS.

This pack costs $54.34 in North America, €47.49 in Europe, £40.51 in the UK and ¥6,190.93 in Japan.

  • The Lottery Shops chance rarity is no longer 80% lose, 20% win, it's 50/50.
  • Mini and Mega Mushrooms aren't present items in this board, and as such, the board events subjected to those items can now be accessed by anyone.
  • The mini pipes are removed.
  • The roulette wheel in the centre of the board works more like the direction gear in Waluigi's Island, where the player decides which direction they want to go by jumping on one of the three colors on the roulette wheel and stopping it when they land.

  • The four warp spaces have been replaced with Lucky Spaces.

Bowser Nightmare (Mario Party 5)[]

  • Capsules are not present in this board and have been replaced with regular items, with three Item shops replacing the three Capsule Machines.

  • Two Koopa Banks are present at the top left and top right sides of the board. Like Bowser Land from Mario Party 2, they are run by Bowser Jr. and they give out coins to players who pass them, forcing them to pay back their loan when they land on them.

  • Three of the Blue Spaces have been changed to VS Spaces.
  • One of the Red Spaces is replaced with an Item Space.

Pagoda Peak (Mario Party 7)[]

  • Bowser Time is no longer present in this board.
  • The Koopa Master has been replaced with Toadsworth as the person giving out the Star.
  • The Star price for the Star always remains the same after the player collects the Star.

  • Five of the Blue Spaces have been changed to VS Spaces.
  • One of the Red Spaces has been changed to an Item Space.

Koopa's Tycoon Town (Mario Party 8)[]

  • The Bowser Space events are removed.
  • Four of the Blue Spaces have been changed to VS Spaces.

Clockwork Castle (Mario Party 6)[]

  • The two Duel Spaces and five of the Blue Spaces are replaced with seven Lucky Spaces.
  • The goal of the board is very different to the original, instead of chasing after DK for a Star and running away from Bowser, the goal is to get to where ever Brighton or Twila are in the sky, and purchase the Star from them for either 20 coins or whatever price is determined based on a roulette wheel that Toadette controls at the beginning of the nighttime switch. Landing on the Event Space at the top of the castle will give players a chance to change the time of day, but there is only a 50/50 chance that it will change.
  • King Boo makes an appearance on the board in the top left of the board and can steal Stars from the three opposing players for 150 coins, 300 coins for two Stars. He can only be visited during the nighttime.

  • The goal of the board is different to the original. Instead of stealing Stars from the other players, the players must head to the Star location that always moves after buying a Star from Toadette. After every purchase however, Bowser tallies that number of coins spent on the Star so that everytime a player passes him at the top of the board, they have to win in his minigames. If they win, he pays back that tallied number of coins, if they lose, he takes away all of their coins.
  • Captain Shy Guy supports a different design, sporting a space helmet and a space suit with a logo that says "Rainbow Road Avenue".
