Great Gift Idea: Mario Party Star Rush for Nintendo 3DS

Disclosure: Nintendo of America provided me with a New Nintendo 3DS XL system and games for review. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

I am so excited to share with you that my family recently partnered with Nintendo to review and share with you the Nintendo 3Ds device (see my review of the Nintendo 3Ds XL here) and I’m very excited to share with you this fun new game that would make a great gift idea for anyone with a Nintendo 3Ds.

Mario Party Star Rush

If you know a Nintendo 3Ds fanatic, then Mario Party Star Rush is a great gift idea!

A new approach to Mario Party: quicker play and simultaneous turns! Team up with Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and more in the most perfectly portable Mario Party game to date. Play with up to four players simultaneously, exploring different worlds as you freely move your Toad across maps and recruit Mushroom Kingdom allies.

Add character amiibos for even more fun! Tap amiibo to add even more fun to the gameplay (not required for play).

Our thoughts?

Mario Party Star Rush is awesome because not only can you play in single player mode, but you can also play with up to four other players at the same time. You don’t need to have the Nintendo Boo amiibo characters to play the game, but they are a great addition and also a great gift idea to accompany this game.

<—We reviewed Boo. Isn’t he cute? These characters are such a fun addition to these games. Even cooler? Boo glows in the dark! These amiibo characters are a great way to add even more fun to these games and kids love to collection them for play.

These shy spirits inhabit Mario’s world and have been known to vanish or freeze when met face-to-face. In recent years, they seem to have overcome their fears in order to pursue tennis and other social activities. They usually appear in groups and fly in formation. From time to time, giant Boos make surprise appearances!
