Super Mario Party was announced for the Nintendo Switch back in June, and we had learnt that, true to Mario Party fashion, it will be full of fun mini-games for players to enjoy with (or argue about) their friends. Nintendo have now announced a brand new game mode that will be featured in the upcoming title. Called River Survival, and a new video has been released which showcases exactly what this game mode is all about.
In this mode, up to four players will have to co-operate and row their raft together in order to reach the end of a river. There will also be some mini-games that players can play in the middle of their journey, of course, and this gives them a chance to increase the time they have left on the clock. If you get a higher score, you will gain more time. Interestingly enough, rowing the raft is controller by the Joycon’s motion controls.
Check the video out below if you want to see how exactly this game mode works, or to see Mario and Bowser working togetgher to steer a boat, if nothing else. Super Mario Party is set to release for the Nintendo Switch on October 5. Head over to our wiki page to get more details on the game.
