Players can earn lives when they receive 100 coins. Earning Mini Stars from placing well in minigames unlocks certain Special type minigames. Players receive less Mini Stars when they place second and third, and performing the worst in the minigame loses a life. If they win against Bowser, Donkey Kong, or against another playable character in their respective minigames, they receive four Mini Stars prior to entering World 4, players face off against Toad himself in Slot Car Derby with other CPU players. When players receive first place in a minigame, they receive three Mini Stars and 10 coins. Gradually, CPU difficulty gets harder the more players advance through the mode. Once a Warp Pipe is reached, Toad asks the player to either continue or quit the game, and if players continue, they can access the next World by jumping into Warp Pipes. Players do not have to win the minigame to progress through Minigame Island: simply playing the minigame opens up paths to other minigames. In order to beat this mode, players need to best their rivals through minigames and retain their lives given at the beginning of the game from not placing fourth. Minigames are in a set location, with the aesthetics of the area surrounding the space giving a clue to what minigame the player can play in due to some worlds having grid-like branching paths, players can also play minigames in a certain order they wish or skip certain minigames altogether. Players compete against computer-controlled rivals as they travel through four worlds. After players select their player character, they can select a computer-controlled teammate for 2-on-2 minigames: if chosen as a teammate, these characters do not appear as rivals. Minigame Island is a single player mode, hosted by Toad, that first appeared in Mario Party. Mario in World 1 of the Minigame Island mode When a minigame is completed, a player can opt to play again, return to the 100 minigames menu, return to the main menu, or play another randomly selected minigame that is unlocked. The game also keeps track of how many times a particular minigame is played. Players can create up to three favorite packs.
Players can tag minigames as favorites to ease the process of selecting a minigame they wish to play in, thus creating their own pack.
The rest of the minigames are unlocked through playing Minigame Island. Initially, players have access to only 55 minigames, most of them Free-for-All minigames.
Minigames can be sorted by game, type, or favorite status. Mario Party: The Top 100 has a total of seven game modes.Īll 100 minigames can be selected and played on in this mode, similar to "Free Play" modes from previous games. They provide other ways to play minigames, such as playing through a randomized set of minigames in Minigame Island, or playing a fixed amount and type of minigames to set records in a Decathlon mode. Other auxiliary game modes are included in this installment. There are colors for each player (P1 is red, P2 is blue, P3 is green, and P4 is yellow). These computer players can be adjusted with difficulty levels from Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and the unlockable Master difficulty. The game is for four players only: if there are not enough human players, computer-controlled players fill up the slots. Not limited to these general minigames are DK minigames, Bowser minigames, Extra minigames, and Puzzle minigames from previous installments, all labeled as Special minigames in this game. Some minigames allow players to team up against opponents, either in symmetrical 2-on-2 minigames or asymmetrical 1-on-3 minigames, and some minigames have only two players competing against each other, called Duel minigames. The goal is to perform the best out of opponents within each minigame rule and controls, which are briefly explained prior to playing the minigame.
Players use Nintendo 3DS capabilities to perform actions, such as tapping objects with the touch screen, blowing into the mic, or using the gyroscope to balance or steer objects, though most minigames use the traditional buttons and control stick format. The minigames have players doing various activities in a short time limit, such as racing against opponents in a skating rink or platforming against rivals. Mario Party: The Top 100 does not introduce any new minigames on its own, serving purely as a compilation for minigames from previous installments. Unlike other installments from the Mario Party series, which have a focus on boards and their gameplay, Mario Party: The Top 100 has a focus on the various minigames from home console entries, which serves akin to an extended minigame mode from previous installments.
