Mario Party 10 is a board-game-style party game starring Mario and friends with over 70 mini-games in total. Unlike its predecessors, it has no real plot or story. The game offers three modes.
The Mario party mode allows up to four players to race the game board and play different mini-games along the way.
Another mode is the Bowser party, where one player plays as Bowser controlled through the Wii U GamePad. This player has to steal the hearts of the other players (up to four) while they have to avoid this from happening in various mini-games.
The Amiibo party mode can only be played with at least one Amiibo figurine and up to four players. This mode features some unique elements, such as a Super Mushroom space where the Amiibo character can transform into a giant.
