Well, seems like we got it. The eleventh installment is called Super Mario Party:
- Gameplay elements appears to be a fusion, mainly taking from the original games; You go around the board and try to get stars from star spaces or from other opponents, but also includes the ally mechanics from Star Rush. This is because they're completely relaunching or refreshing the series.
- Toad returns to his old role as the board host, while Toadette is the character you must buy stars from. Lakitu performs a role similiar to Boo from the old games, and Flutter acts as the item shop. Koopa Paratroopa also appears and can also carry you to a the space of an opponent.
- Recurring Spaces like the Blue Space, the Red Space, and the Event Space return. The Bowser Space is remade into the Bad Luck Space.
- Characters have a choice between a standard dice block (1-6), their own unique dice block, and potentially other dice blocks belonging to other characters whom you ally with.
- A robust roster of around 20 characters. Includes series regulars like Mario, Luigi, Peach, etc. but also characters like Donkey Kong (who had a long period of nonplayability), Bowser (marking the first time that he's playable on equal line with the others in a Mario Party game; I actually really like this), and Goomba (my personal favorite of the new playable characters). Each playable character can predictably also show up as non-playable allies if they're not selected for play.
- Besides the main mode where it's free-for-all, there's also a mode where players compete against each other in two teams on a board that appears to offer less restricted movement (consisting of two characters on each team; you can also gain allies for your own team to gain their dice blocks.)
- You can play against other people online, but only let's you play the minigames.
- Speaking of minigames, there's 80 new minigames in this game.
I'm pretty excited for this one!
