Thanks to Nintendo for providing product for review. All thoughts are my own.

Ready to have a blast with Mario and friends? Your favorite Mario characters are back in an epic new adventure for Nintendo Switch! One of our favorite things to do as a family on a Friday night is to settle in at home and either watch a movie or play a game on the Nintendo Switch together. While we love Mario Kart, it's always nice to change it up and introduce a new game the whole family can play. After all, our players range in age from 5 to 38!

Mario Party Superstars brings back a ton of nostalgia for parents who grew up loving N 64 games! This fun new game combines tons of mini-games and boards that were so well-loved from those N 64 days! That's right, the whole family can jump in and choose games to play together- up to 4 players.

You can choose to work as a team or go head to head in a race to the finish! Who will make it out first!? We have so much fun just scrolling through the games to find a few to play- we could look and play for hours, truthfully! Our 11-year-old especially loves choosing the games and challenging the rest of the family to play with him.

Try your hand at a superstar collection of minigames from throughout the Mario Party series. Whether you are saving up coins for stars in board game mode or enjoy one of the 7 modes included in Mt. Minigames, there is nothing quite like being the last one standing in Bumper Balls or the first team making it out of the darkness in Dungeon Duos. All minigames are played with button controls, so you can stick to the Joy-Con™ controller or bust out the Nintendo Switch™ Pro Controller or a Nintendo Switch Lite system.

Video games tend to bring families together, especially the MARIO games! I love sharing the fun and excitement of Mario and friends with my kids because it's what I grew up playing when Nintendo was NEW! Super Mario Party Superstars is a must-add to your Switch game collection, and makes a great gift this holiday season! I can't wait to get some of the rest of our family in on the gaming action when we take our family vacation after Christmas.
