The gameplay is considered decent but lacks variety and cohesion, with suggestions for more games and a unifying theme similar to Mario Party. It is recommended for group play, as it can provide a fun and quirky experience for parties.
- “It's okay but needs much more games and maybe something to tie the games together gameplay-wise, Mario Party style or not. I would recommend it for a party of people to weird out and have fun with, though!”
