Mario Party Superstarpools together some of the most missed boards from previous entries to the series; with such maps as Peach’s Birthday Cake and Horror Land, the game will be a hit with any group who takes on the challenge.

The chaotic and chance-filled games pit players against one another in a board game setting, with mini-games and chances to win strewn about. Players shouldn’t assume they’re winning when they have the lead - someone with a Dueling Glove could challenge them and take all their coins and stars.
15Dash Mushroom
A Dash Mush item, also known as simply the Mushroom, is a handy one for getting places fast. The item adds five moves to the roll a player has completed, no matter the number.
These helpful happenings can be found anywhere on the board at random; they must be used immediately, and can massively assist a player’s game should they land on a good spot. The extra five spaces could overtake a player, could gain another amazing item, or even get someone to the goal.
14Skeleton Key
Dotted around the game’s map there are gates - these are locked and can only be opened with a key. One such opening item is the Skeleton Key. They can be bought for three coins from Yellow Toad’s shop. These sneaky pathways are a returning feature fromMario Party 4.

As the name suggests, Skeleton Key’s allow players to open gates on the board, granting access to further areas. The Keys can only be used next to a gate - they cannot open a gate far across the map from a player.
13Warp Block
Warp Blocks are purchasable from the store for 7 coins apiece. They’re a randomizing item, so cannot be relied upon - they may create havoc or forge a fantastic path for the user.
Unlike Super Warp Blocks (wait for it), the normal Warp Blocks allow a player to swap places with a random player. Could it be Daisy near the Star? Luigi who fell back to the start? Only the block knows. Best used with caution.
12Super Warp Block
Super Warp Blocks are a fun item… for the user. Available from the shops run by Yellow Toad, the blocks cost a few coins each. Once in a player’s possession, they can be used for evil or for good.
If a player owns a Super Warp Block, they can use it to trade places with another player. Who they choose can be a friend or a foe, and can really mess up someone if they’re close to the Star. Keep friends close, and enemies even closer.
11Plunder Chest
Ah, the Plunder Chest.Resurrected fromMario Party 3, the Chest is Princess Peach’s favorite item in the game. It can be gained as a reward from item mini-games or bought from the shops that are available on Space Land and Peach’s Birthday Cake boards.
The cheeky chest can be used to swap an item with another player. In previous games, players could not choose who to take an item from, as it was randomized - and inMario Party 3, the player could choose who to steal from.
10Dueling Glove
As the name suggests, the Dueling Glove is to do with two players entering a fight of sorts. Unlike previous games, this time around the wager is for coins - as it was inMario Party 2, where the user selects the number of coins to place a bet with.Mario Party Superstars’ Glove duels are not to steal another player’s ally.

The Glove is incredibly rare. The player who uses the item can choose to duel a player of their choice and wager coins as the reward for winning. The Duels are minigames that players compete in - with a few different options.
9Boo Bell
The Boo Bell is another resurrected item from previous games. Found inMario Party 2 & 3, the Bell is now back in action. The Bell has an interesting function which returns to the game.
When used, it summons Boo to the users’ location. Boo will then go on to steal items and coins from other players - though this time the ghostly thief cannot be used to steal a Star from players. They can only be obtained from Item Minigames, and are therefore quite rare.
8Chomp Call
Getting frustrated with other players? Well, with this card, players can show it. First seen inMario Party 4, players can purchase the Chomp Call from the store for a measly seven coins, and really ruin someone’s day.
This little whistle-shaped item calls upon a bunch of Chain Chomps to come along and move the board’s star to a different location. Say Yoshi is closing in on a star that will win him the game - purchase this item and stop their progress in its tracks.
7Golden Pipe
Alright, here is one of the best items inMario Party Superstars: the Golden Pipe. These are, for lack of a better phrase, like gold dust. They cost a whopping 25 coins each from the store, but can really assist in someone’s play.
The Golden Pipe will warp a player right to the Star on the board. This can be a bit of a waste if the player using it doesn’t have enough coins to buy the star as it will still need to be purchased, so double-check that purse first.
6Cursed Dice Block
OK, here us out: this one isn’t actually as evil as it sounds. The so-called Cursed Dice Block is used to curse the die in play so that it can only roll a number between one and three.

This sounds terrible but really, if a player only needs to go a couple of spaces so they don’t overshoot a target, this item is great news. The Block has only been seen inMario Party: Star Rush, and theSwitch’sSuperstarsversion is more like the Poison Mushroom from Mario Party 3.
