Mario Party Star Rush for Nintendo 3DS

About Mario Party Star Rush for Nintendo 3DS

Mario Party Star Rush shakes up the series by letting everyone roll and move at the same time. In Toad Scramble, players roam open boards freely, recruiting Mario friends as allies and rushing to boss battles when they appear. There is no waiting in a vehicle and no long pauses between turns, so the party keeps its energy from the first roll to the final star count. It feels fresh while staying clearly Mario Party.

Ally characters matter, because each one adds a special dice block and helps in mini games, turning recruitment into a real strategy. Other modes include Coinathlon, a race where mini game coins move you along the track, and rhythm and puzzle side modes for variety. Most modes support nearby friends, and the guest friendly setup lowers the barrier for group play. Star Rush is often praised as one of the strongest handheld entries in the series.

Star Rush cartridges show up often in family game bundles. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible today. The honest way to play is a physical cartridge from a retailer, which also makes lending the game for a party night simple. Fans who bought the game digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games and keep their ally rosters ready.

No waiting, just rolling, recruiting and racing.
