Mario Party: Island Tour

INTRODUCTION

Consider a sunny afternoon when Mario and the gang are invited to a party on the Party Islands. Just when they thought it was all fun and games, party-pooper Bowser turns up, enraged at not receiving an invitation. So he devises a strategy, constructs a tower named for himself, and confines everyone within. It is now up to you to guide your selected protagonists through this dice-driven, minigame-filled journey to knock down Bowser’s stronghold and release every one. Sounds like a good time? That’s because it is, especially when you bring your friends and family to enjoy “Mario Party: Island Tour” on the 3DS. Prepare to roll!

THE MISSION: SMASH THE TOWER OF BOWSER

If you ever wanted to rescue captive buddies from an evil stronghold as a youngster, “Mario Party: Island Tour” is your digital dream come true. But don’t get too comfy; this isn’t going to be a stroll in the park. You must navigate your selected figure around a maze-like racetrack, with each step determined by the roll of a die. It’s similar to “Monopoly,” but there’s more action, less bankruptcy, and no property tax. What is your ultimate goal? Destroy Bowser’s Tower to release your friends.

SELECT YOUR AVATAR, BUT CHOOSE WISELY!

Choices, choices, choices. Whether you’re a Mario, Luigi, or Peach fan or even want to dabble in the dark side with Wario, the game offers an array of characters. Each has unique abilities that will either make you the life of the party or have you cursing your poor judgment. And let’s not forget the aesthetic value; picking your character is like choosing your outfit for the ultimate party—except this one involves potentially dangerous stunts and puzzle-solving.

RULES OF THE GAME: NOT YOUR AVERAGE BOARD GAME

Before you dive headfirst into this fiesta, you’ll get a primer from Yellow Toad. This guy will be your rulebook, mentor, and sometimes therapist throughout the game. Each board you navigate has its specific set of laws and regulations, all of which Mr. Toad will happily explain. Minigames are sprinkled throughout, acting like spicy appetizers before the main course. Knowing the rules can differentiate between a legendary win and an epic fail.

MINIGAMES GALORE: CHOOSE YOUR REWARDS

What’s a party without games? Boring, that’s what. “Mario Party: Island Tour” knows how to keep the vibe alive with many minigames at every turn. But here’s the kicker: you get to choose your prize if you win. It’s like trick-or-treating, but you’re rewarded with essential game modifiers instead of candy. You could earn power-ups or gain extra rolls of the dice. So yes, victory is sweet—literally and figuratively.

BRING YOUR FRIENDS: THIS IS A PARTY, AFTER ALL!

If you’ve always yearned for an excuse to call up your friends for a gaming session, this is it. “Mario Party: Island Tour” is not just a solo endeavor; it’s a collective experience best enjoyed with friends and family. Whether you’re sitting next to each other or connecting through the magic of the internet, the camaraderie amplifies the fun.
