Solo Mode or Story Mode?

[Jimmy T.]

This Single Player Mode could return in Mario Party 3DS and that remains questionable. There's always an Introduction (Plot) at the start of each Mario Party game, and Bowser is up to no good again... and it's up to the crew to stop him. So far, we know that this is a race and it can be more luck based as the player progresses as the COM difficulty gets harder. One suggestion is: When the leader reaches the finish, is there a Boss awaiting at the end? Another one is: What progresses would be saved in the Records?

What settings do you think that would be added/removed?

Make some suggestions!

Once a player reaches the finish, he is safe from opponents' attacks but can still earn rewards from minigames. The boss battle starts when all four players reach the finish. This is one possible outcome.

I'd prefer a Story Mode. Solo mode in Mario Party 9 was way too luck-based than it should be.

I'd like a story mode similar to Mario Party 3 or Mario Party 4. It was a little better collecting things like presents or Star Stamps, but either way, all the boards are going to be played. I just don't want the single player mode to be as luck-based as Mario Party 9, it was just infuriating.

A difficulty setting is something I want. Something like Star Levels or ranks should be recorded.

I prefer a Story Mode over Solo Mode. I do like SirYoshi's idea of bring a Story Mode similar to MP3 again.

Make the story mode like number 6.

A story mode like Mario Party 3 or Mario Party 4 would really be the only ones to interest me.

I prefer a story myself, even though I mostly just play for multiplayer reasons.
Mario Party 3 was great when it came to this, so that.

...I doubt it'll return in a game like this, unless they do something like in Mario Party 9... which I believe they won't.

How about something similar to mini-game island/coaster?

Story Mode. I would like to see a Story Mode very similar to Mario Party 3, but like a few of you say, it's just doesn't seem to be happening as the developers focus on Solo Mode rather than trying to incorporate an actual story to progress through. It would be nice if the developers change from Solo to Story for once.

Perfect for Solo Mode, but not for Story Mode.

Well, Solo Mode it would be PERRFECT...it will return as Mario Party and Mario Party 2 and that is good

 

[Jimmy T.]

I think that the plot would be like from Mario Party 9 mixed with Mario Party DS. Considering that for either Solo/Story Mode.

 

[AbsolPowers]

I'm fine with either mode... as long as the game is fun and has a good roster, I'll be sold.

 

[Relxhive35]

If they're going to do Story Mode, they should do it like Mario Party 3.

 

[IggyKoopaStar]

To me, any of the two modes would be nice to see, but a story mode would be interesting though because that's somewhat more interesting, however I mostly play on the party boards usually.

 

[E.Gadd]

The Dualing segments in-between board segments is what made Mario Party 3's story mode work so well for me.

They really need to revisit that idea, and maybe incorporate it into the main boards some how.

Maybe one day. ;p

I would prefer a story mode over a solo mode any day! Mario Party 9's solo mode was ALL based on luck. Hopefully there's a good story mode in this one.
