Mario Party: Star Rush screenshots and details – Balloon Bash, amiibo support, difficulty modes, more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 1 Comment
Today, Nintendo provided new details and screenshots about Mario Party: Star Rush.
First, here are some new screenshots:
In Toad Scramble, which we heard about previously, players roll their dice at once and move freely across an open map as Toad. Turns are gone here, meaning faster/more strategic matches. It’s also possible to gain an advantage by recruiting Mario and his friends, with each one offering a unique ability that aids Toad in collecting extra coins and bashing bosses to earn stars.
As far as amiibo support goes, when playing alone in Toad Scramble and using a compatible figure, that character will appear as a support character from the start, with a rare item to boost your chances of winning. Additionally, those who have amiibo save data from Mario Party 10 will receive a special die.
