Well, wonder no longer, as today we&#8217;re going to take you through <em>everything<\/em> you need to know to have a successful Mario Party with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_mario_party\">Super Mario Party<\/a><\/strong>, whether you&#8217;re aged 8, or 88, or maybe some age in-between.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, and we can&#8217;t stress this enough, Mario Party is best with four <em>real<\/em> people. You can still absolutely have a blast with just two or three, but you&#8217;ll really be missing out if you never go the full four-player affair. Make sure the people you invite are into it as well; don&#8217;t force people into playing as it&#8217;s likely they may not enjoy themselves and could end up bring everyone else down as well. Willing attendees are an absolute <em>must<\/em>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Smp 4p\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f11cb223e95ee\/smp-4p.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f11cb223e95ee\/smp-4p.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Smp 4p\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Secondly, get something supremely tasty in to gobble whilst you play. It doesn&#8217;t matter whether it&#8217;s pizza or your signature homemade red onion flan, as long as there&#8217;s something for <em>everyone<\/em> to enjoy, you&#8217;re golden. Given the amount of time some of these epic Mario Party sessions can take, sustenance is going to be very welcome indeed &#8211; your fellow party members will thank you for being a dutiful host, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if you&#8217;re concerned about greasy or sticky fingers on your shiny\/matte Joy-Con, just take a deep breath and accept that they&#8217;re bound to get a bit mucky when other humans are involved. You can always clean them up in an instant once you&#8217;re done, just use some gentle screen cleaner and a microfibre cloth and within moments they&#8217;ll feel brand new. Don&#8217;t bog other people down with your clean-freak tendencies when they&#8217;re having fun; everything can be cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly sanitised after everyone has gone home.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Smp Screen\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/57f70cab6e1bd\/smp-screen.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/57f70cab6e1bd\/smp-screen.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Smp Screen\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Thirdly, it&#8217;s vital that you plan your play session well in advance. If you&#8217;ve got a whole bunch of time to spare, make the most of it but don&#8217;t assume that <em>everyone<\/em> will want to play for 20 long turns. It&#8217;s not exactly going to end up being a day-long session of <strong>Risk<\/strong>, but Mario Party can go on longer than you might think, and not everyone&#8217;s going to be into that. Start off with a nice easy ten-turn game and go from there; if people love it, then you can consider a longer game, by all means. Test the waters first, especially if you have Mario Party novices on board.<\/p>\n<p>And fourthly, if you&#8217;re of the adult disposition, you should <em>absolutely<\/em> consider introducing some alcohol into the mix (provided you or someone else isn&#8217;t teetotal; try to respect other people&#8217;s life choices to ensure nobody ends up feeling left out). A little social lubricant can get everyone playing <em>seriously<\/em> involved, and the more boundaries you break down, the more fun you&#8217;re all likely to have. And that&#8217;s the name of the game, right?<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Smp Booze\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/39035a33096ad\/smp-booze.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/39035a33096ad\/smp-booze.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Smp Booze\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling brave (and, again, are old enough) you can even take things a step further and turn the whole session into one massive drinking game. We&#8217;re not going to give you any rules here, but even if it&#8217;s just something as simple as &#8216;drink as many times as the number you rolled&#8217; you can dial up the fun factor so far you won&#8217;t even care about the inevitable splitting hangover the next day. <em>Maybe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As you can appreciate, these are relatively <em>loose<\/em> rules and tips for having a good time in the company of some friends with one of the Switch&#8217;s most social experiences.
