With 70 ALL-NEW Mini-Games - Pelt your friends with snowballs atop Snowball Summit, keep them guessing in Hide & Sneak or bury them in a pile of garbage blocks at Mario's Puzzle Party, get ready for even more tricky tactics, silly surprises and frantic four-player fun! It's a battle of wits in the new two-player duel mode, use hired help like Kuribo, Nokonoko, Whomp and Wanwan as you try to outmaneuver and attack your opponent on five different boards, the last one standing wins the match.
