Mario Party: Wonder World is a 2016 party game that will be released on the New Nintendo 3DS, and is the 12th overall installment of the Mario Party series. The game's release date is March 7, 2016 in the United States and Japan, but its European release date is March 9, 2016 - celebrating the 17 year anniversary of the release of the original Mario Party in Europe. Like all previous games in the series, there are new boards, new minigames, and a new story for the first time since Mario Party 9. The game also returns to the more familiar Mario Party gameplay seen in the first 8 games of the series.
Gameplay[]
The general gameplay of Mario Party: Wonder World (for Mario Party and Team Mario's part of Bowser Party) is similar to that of Mario Party 8. A feature similar to Orbs and Candy from previous games is introduced called Party Poppers, which each have a varying effect and can turn the tables on the party.
Story[]
Mario and friends are excited for their trip to the mystical Party Haven, where they will each meet their respective Celebration Spirits, which represent the main part of a character's enjoyment of the Mario Parties. However, upon arrival the team discovers that Bowser has transformed the Celebration Spirits into Party Crashers, which represent the least favorite parts of a party. He sends them off to corrupt their respective boards and leaves only one behind - Dancic, a Koopa Troopa spirit who enjoys dancing to the beat of the music. Dancic tells the team that the Celebration Spirits are destroying Party Haven bit by bit, and they are the only ones who can clear the corrupt minds of the Party Crashers. The heroes agree to help and so begins another Mario Party!
Characters[]
Mario Party: Wonder World features all of the characters from Mario Party 10, save for Spike (who is now an assistant in Bowser Party). Other returning characters include Boo, Bowser Jr, Mii, Birdo, and Koopa Troopa. New playable characters include Diddy Kong, Luma, Boom Boom, and Nabbit.
Starting Characters[]
| Character | Description |
|---|---|
| Mario is the well-known hero of the Mushroom Kingdom who jumps into action the moment he sees it. This red-clad hero has been attending every Mario Party since their beginning and won't stop now! | |
| Cowardly as he may seem, Luigi is actually a force to be reckoned with. His height gives him an advantage over other players, and he's not afraid to step into the spotlight. | |
| The carefree princess of the Mushroom Kingdom never ceases to amaze. Peach's skills are diverse, allowing her to make her own moves without having to be rescued by her plumber in shining armor. | |
| Toad is a loyal and humble servant of Princess Peach, and a speedy one at that. His small size allows him to get out of a jam in mere seconds without harm. | |
| Daisy is Peach's best friend and hails from the faraway kingdom of Sarsaraland. At heart, Daisy is a tomboy, but isn't afraid to team up with Peach to take down some monstrous minigames. | |
| A cheerful face to see around Toad Town, Toadette is a carefree and lovable little Toad. Her know-how of the locations around her home give her a home court advantage when fighting foes. | |
| Yoshi is a childhood hero of Mario, having helped him and Luigi escape the clutches of Baby Bowser. He returns to Mario Party with a cute little smile on his face and a cheerful "Yoshi!" to accompany it. | |
| Hailing from the mysterious Subcon, Birdo is the female counterpart of Yoshi. Some still debate on whether Birdo is male or female, but it's definitely a female for certain. | |
| Donkey Kong is the huge ape who swings through the trees of DK Island in order to find bananas. He has made a comeback to some of the more recent Mario Parties, giving him the slight disadvantage of being unfamiliar with the game. | |
|
|
Diddy Kong is usually seen as Donkey Kong's sidekick, similar to how Luigi is almost always in Mario's shadow. This little ape steps into the spotlight whenever he can, and Donkey Kong usually isn't too far behind. |
| Wario will always be Mario's greedy rival. His lust for coins and Stars convinced him to join the crew in Party Haven, and now he seeks to get every Star and coin he can find to become the wealthiest person alive! | |
| Working as Wario's partner in crime, Waluigi is the more well-rounded of the Wario Bros. and is more athletic. He joined in on his brother's plan to raid Party Haven of its loot and then become extremely wealthy. | |
|
|
Nabbit is a mysterious thief who roams the Mushroom Kingdom in search of treasure. Party Haven is completely new to him, and he's only in it to team up with another mystery player. |
| Who is this person? Where are they from? That's all for you to decide! |
