Mario Party The Top 200 (Xavier Krantz's Version)

Gameplay
Unlike other installments from the Mario Party series, which have a focus on boards and their gameplay, Mario Party: The Top 200 has a focus on the various minigames from home console entries, which serves akin to an extended minigame mode from previous installments. Mario Party: The Top 200 does not introduce any new minigames on its own, serving purely as a compilation for minigames from previous installments. The minigames have players doing various activities in a short time limit, such as racing against opponents in a skating rink or platforming against rivals. Players use Nintendo Switch capabilities to perform actions, such as tapping objects with the touch screen, blowing into the mic, or using the gyroscope to balance or steer objects, though most minigames use the traditional buttons and control stick format. The goal is to perform the best out of opponents within each minigame rule and controls, which are briefly explained prior to playing the minigame. Some minigames allow players to team up against opponents, either in symmetrical 2-on-2 minigames or asymmetrical 1-on-3 minigames, and some minigames have only two players competing against each other, called Duel minigames. Not limited to these general minigames are DK minigames, Bowser minigames, Rare minigames, and 8 player minigames from previous installments, all labeled as Special minigames in this game. The game is for four players only: if there are not enough human players, computer-controlled players fill up the slots. These computer players can be adjusted with difficulty levels from Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and the unlockable Master difficulty. There are colors for each player (P1 is blue, P2 is red, P3 is green, and P4 is yellow). Other auxiliary game modes are included in this installment. There are also five other ways to play the minigames.

Gameplay
Mario Party: The Top 200 has a total of six different game modes

Free Play
All 100 minigames can be selected and played on in this mode. Minigames can be sorted by game, type, or favorite status. Initially, players have access to only 88 minigames. The rest of the minigames are unlocked through playing Minigame Island. Players can tag minigames as favorites to ease the process of selecting a minigame they wish to play in, thus creating their own pack. Players can create up to three favorite packs. The game also keeps track of how many times a particular minigame is played. When a minigame is completed, a player can opt to play again, return to the free play mode menu return to the main menu, or play another randomly selected minigame that is unlocked.

Tournament of the Minigames
Players play a random assortment of 4-Player, 1-vs.-3, or 2-vs.-2 mini-games, where they advance when they win a mini-game. The size of the game can be set at 3, 5, or 7 wins to overall win the game. Players need to play at least one 4-Player, 1-vs.-3, and 2-vs.-2 mini-game to play.

Only One
Players play duel mini-games in a tournament-like setting; players advance the bracket when they win a mini-game. Losing players can compete in a losers bracket for 3rd and 4th place slots. At least one duel mini-game needs to be unlocked to play this mode.
