* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: As far as the mainline entries go, this is generally agreed to be the best ''Mario Party'' game since at least ''Mario Party 8''. The 9th and 10th installments are seen as the worst ones, due to gameplay changes not sitting right with most fans, and while ''Super'' brought back the older gameplay system, it had only three boards, all of which were fairly lackluster, and the online was very limited, until it was updated a whopping two years after release. All the issues from the previous three games are addressed here, while bringing back boards from the first three games, and minigames from all the previous games, except ''Super''.

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Superstars'' has been praised for going back to the series' roots, with fans hoping succeeding entries will be just like it. To wit, it has faithful recreations of boards from the [=N64=] games, 100 returning minigames, and the return of the original dice blocks, Star prices, and other game mechanics. All this then comes with the modern system's much more polished look. Plus, Donkey Kong is still a playable character for those who enjoy using him, and Birdo has returned after being left out of all entries since ''9''.

Somehow, this was listed on the YMMV page for Super Mario Party, despite that game not using stickers. Must've been a hold-over back when all the Mario Party games were covered in a single article.

* BrokenBase: "Leaf Leap" and "What Comes Up..." both making a return is a decisive decision. Some feel that the two minigames are too similar to warrant both appearing (climb as high as you can in 30 seconds by jumping) while other feel the two test different enough skills (reaction time in the former, precision in the latter), and with 100 minigames, some overlap is expected.

** While the boards are bigger and there's one more in comparison to [[VideoGame/SuperMarioParty the previous game]], fans have complained that there should've been at least one more given the series' usual standard of six per game, especially since all of the boards are recycled from previous games.
** The lack of the official Bowser minigames introduced from ''Mario Party 4'' onward in ''Mario Party Superstars'' has become noticeable by fans. In a game celebrating the entire series with a plethora of returning minigames throughout its entire history, ''Superstars'' only has three official Bowser minigames: "Face Lift", "Pit Boss", and "Dark n Crispy", the latter two of which are from ''Mario Party 6''. Many fans are disappointed with this lack of variety, citing a missed opportunity to include some of the more notable Bowser minigames from the series to flesh out its library, like "Fruits of Doom" (''Mario Party 4''), "Rain of Fire" (''Mario Party 5''), and "Funstacle Course" (''Mario Party 7'').
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks:
** The inclusion of two specific minigames; "Leaf Leap" from ''Mario Party 5'' and "What Goes Up" from ''Mario Party 6''. A common criticism from fans is that both of these minigames play identically to each other since the goal of both is to climb higher than your opponents, and aesthetically, they don't differ much from the design front other than the main platforms being Beanstalks and Paratroopas respectively. Because of this, many feel that having both in the same game is redundant and things would've been better if either one of the two got in or the "Must Come Down" variant of the latter was featured instead. However, others countered that, gameplay-wise, both operate differently enough to be distinct, with the former focusing on reaction times and the latter focusing on precision platforming.
