Mario Sports Superstars Critic Reviews

For a seemingly simple game there is a lot to discover in Mario Sports Superstars. Everyone can instantly play this game, but there is enough content to keep coming back to it. The horse racing is also a fun new addition to the Mario sports series.

Mario Sports Superstars is bursting at the seams with a varied collection of enjoyable content. If you're a fan of Mario's sports games then this is one compilation that you'll likely find yourself enjoying for years to come.

Based on Mario's best sports experiences, this selection would fully deserve the title of multi activity champion, if it hadn't been too influenced by the (super)star system.

Mario Sports Superstars means fun. With 5 different sports in one game, Nintendo and Camelot brings you the possibility to see Peach, Yoshi, Wario and almost every Mario character that you love in sports like Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Golf and Horse Racing. On the other hand, Tennis and Golf seems to be very similar to the actual 3DS versions.

Quotation forthcoming.

With so much to do, this package is a no-brainer for anyone who enjoys Mario sports games and needs a quick fix for their upcoming summer vacations.

Mario Sports Superstars is one of the funniest games of the whole 3DS library, but is not deep enough in each one of its sports. However, the game is solid in its bases, so we had a remarkable experience.

Mario Sports Superstars won't wow any 3DS fan, since a lot of the content is recycled from other franchises and other 3DS games (such as Mario Golf World Tour e Mario Tennis Open), but, taken for what it is, a nice collection of very good sport-inspired minigames, can grant several hours of fun to both veterans and newcomers.

Mario Sports Superstars has some interesting games and works well when you play with friends or compete online, but unfortunately none of the five sports are enough deep to consider them as the best Mario sports games.

Fun and well done, Mario Sports Superstars is a cheerful and funny sports game, although weakened by an excessive copy & paste.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's a quite basic sports game, but it's quite fun if we play with friends or online. Although it's nothing new, its formula still works.

Mario Sports Superstars oozes quality when it comes to pure gameplay, but the same can't be said about singleplayer content, and not all the sports are polished at the same level. It's obviously a multiplayer game at heart, consider that if you decide to give it a try.

The main concept of Mario Sports Superstars is not a bad one: five intriguing sports (some of them already played in their stand-alone versions), for a title specifically designed for multiplayer. Unfortunately, there's not too much content to go on, and the multiplayer itself could have been handled much, much better.

None of the sport simulations are spectacular, but none of them are broken either. The fact that you get all five sports in one package and can play them all through online and local multiplayer is what makes Mario Sports Superstars worthwhile. Any one of these mini games in isolations would feel rather lacking for a full priced 3DS game—sure there are trophies and collectables to earn, but that’s not worth discussing beyond mentioning the option. Taken together in a very smoothly animated and pleasingly designed package that looks pretty in 3D, this makes for a perfectly amusing little mini-game compendium for Nintendo nuts. There’s plenty of content in Mario Sports Superstars, which all adds up to more than the sum of its mediocre parts. Should anyone rush out to buy this title? Not really, but in a slow release season this will scratch an itch for 3DS players desperate for new content.

Mario Sports Superstars is not the ultimate collection of athletic adaptations some were hoping for.

Mario Sports Superstars needs more variety. It becomes monotonous after a few hours of play.

This is an appealing mix of various sports. It would be even better, if it would offer a real career mode instead of the demotivating card collection progress.

The concept behind Mario Sports Superstars seems solid, but none of the sports offers the depth we would expect from playing the bigger separate sports games. Mario Sports Superstars does many things, but does not really shine at anything.

Mario Sports Superstars delivers five fun, surface-level sports experiences in one package. Individually, these sports would be unable to stand on their own. However, as a compilation, the variety helps compensate for the lack of depth. Still, the more I played, the more this package felt like a collection of minigames than a value-packed compilation.
