Story
One night, Mario and friends spend their time looking at the stars and constellations. All of a sudden, all the stars in the sky begin to fall towards the Mushroom World, and a star rain begins to shower all of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and friends are fascinated by the sight, and all of them begin to make a wish, thinking they're shooting stars. One last star falls from the sky, though, but this one looks quite different. He lands on the ground, and stands up. He introduces himself as Starlid. He is the son of the two main Circadian rhythmic elements, Brighton and Twila, and he explains to them that he was sent by them to give out invitations for a Casino Reunion, in the Galaxy Cleftion Hotel.

Once they arrive, they might Brighton and Twila, Toadsworth, Tumble, Mc Ballyhoo, and the Party Cube Patrons. However the hotel is under construction as there is going to be an extension to it, and they don't have enough money to build the extension. Mario gets the idea of throwing a massive Mario Party to collect Stars and give them to the builders who are working on the hotel extension.

Starlid calls and summons the Star Guards to aid the crew in the Party, by spawning Memory Molecules to travel to old encountered boards from the past as well as play old minigames from the past.

Gameplay
The old form of gameplay returns along with the gameplay seen in 9 and 10. However they are in two separate modes, Party Mode, and Car Pool Mode. It takes the social, strategic gameplay in which everyone travels on their own across the different seven boards in search of Stars, by rolling Dice Blocks with numbers 1 to 10 and moving around spaces that can either help or hinder the players. The boards in this game are eight picked boards in Party Mode, while in Car Pool mode, it is four of the boards in 9 and 10.

Due to the Stars' return, the Bonus Stars also make a comeback. If the bonuses are turned on, players can receive bonus stars that can range from winning the most mini-games to landing on the most red spaces. The Day and Night Cycle returns from Mario Party 6, and it functions like it did in that game. And this is used on all of the boards in the game. However it functions differently in the Car Pool mode. Instead of the cycle changing after three turns, it changes after a minigame is played.
 * Mini-game Star: It is given to the player who has won the most coins from mini-games
