《瑪利歐派對100：迷你遊戲大合輯》（日文名：マリオパーティ100 ミニゲームコレクション，英文名：Mario Party: The Top 100）是任天堂於2017年在Nintendo 3DS平台推出的派對遊戲，由NDcube開發，是瑪利歐派對系列的特別作品，旨在慶祝系列歷代作品中的經典小遊戲。與傳統瑪利歐派對著重棋盤移動與策略不同，以「迷你遊戲精選」為核心主軸，集結前十部作品中的100款人氣迷你遊戲，強調簡潔、快速、輕鬆的多人遊玩體驗。

沒有傳統的劇情模式，而是以「經典回顧」的形式呈現，把玩家帶回歷代瑪利歐派對中的精彩瞬間。任天堂並未試圖加入冗長的情節鋪陳，而是將重心放在讓玩家回味熟悉又懷念的迷你遊戲設計上。從N64時期的《Mario Party 1》到Wii的《Mario Party 10》，這些小遊戲經過視覺與操作優化，統一以3DS為平台重新演繹，使得新舊玩家皆能在同一平台體驗系列精髓。

在操作方面，充分發揮3DS的便攜性與基本控制功能。所有遊戲都以按鈕與方向鍵為主操作介面，沒有使用太多3DS的陀螺儀或觸控功能，目的是確保大部分小遊戲在四人連線時能夠穩定流暢運行。許多小遊戲考驗反應速度、記憶力、準確度、甚至合作與對抗策略，例如經典的「Bumper Balls」、「Shy Guy Says」與「Pushy Penguins」，都是從原作中人氣極高的代表作。

遊戲模式方面，包含數種不同玩法，如「迷你遊戲模式」、「馬拉松挑戰」、「硬幣競賽」與「單人冒險模式」等。可以自由選擇自己喜愛的迷你遊戲進行對戰，或是挑戰以連續通關為目標的競賽類型。此外，支援Download Play，即只需一張遊戲卡，就可讓最多四位3DS玩家一同參與對戰，大大提升本地多人遊玩的便利性，亦強化遊戲作為「派對工具」的核心價值。「單人冒險模式」是為單機玩家設計的進度導向玩法，會在簡化的棋盤地圖中與AI對手比賽通過迷你遊戲，逐步解鎖更多小遊戲。這模式雖然提供一定挑戰與收集動機，但相較於系列過去棋盤與事件交錯的豐富度，顯得較為單調與流程化。

在畫面表現方面，對所有小遊戲的圖像進行統一風格重繪，無論原始版本是否來自N64、GC、Wii或DS，都透過3DS的效能重新打造，畫面色彩鮮明、角色動畫滑順。配樂方面也忠實重現原作的音樂風格，並對部分樂曲進行編曲優化，保留那份懷舊感同時讓整體音效品質更為一致。市場與媒體的評價則呈現兩極化。一方面，許多玩家對能夠在遊戲中回味系列百款經典迷你遊戲感到驚喜與滿足，認為是系列粉絲的情懷之作，尤其是對長年支持者來說，本作是懷舊與快樂的結晶；但另一方面，也有不少評論批評缺乏傳統瑪利歐派對核心的棋盤玩法，失去系列的原始魅力。許多迷你遊戲原本是在特定情境與策略下才有趣，但在卻被抽離出來單獨遊玩，部分變得重複或缺乏深度。此外，有人認為3DS並非最理想的多人派對平台，若推出於Switch或能支援網路連線，效果或許會更佳。

總體來說，這是為系列粉絲量身打造的致敬作品，透過高度精選的100款迷你遊戲帶來回憶與樂趣。放棄複雜的敘事與戰略棋盤系統，轉而以簡潔、直觀、快節奏的娛樂形式呈現。雖然在內容深度與長期吸引力方面有所爭議，但作為派對聚會或短時間娛樂的工具，依然展現瑪利歐派對系列的核心精神—快樂、競技與歡笑。

Mario Party: The Top 100 (Japanese title: マリオパーティ100 ミニゲームコレクション) is a party game released by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017. Developed by NDcube, this title is a special entry in the long-running Mario Party series, created to celebrate the iconic mini-games from past installments. Unlike traditional Mario Party games that focus on board movement and strategic item use, The Top 100 centers around a curated selection of the most popular mini-games from the first ten titles in the series, offering a streamlined, fast-paced, and accessible multiplayer experience.

Instead of featuring a traditional story mode, the game takes a "nostalgic compilation" approach, aiming to bring players back to memorable moments from earlier Mario Party entries. Nintendo opted not to include a lengthy narrative and instead focused on reviving familiar and beloved mini-games. Spanning from Mario Party 1 on the Nintendo 64 to Mario Party 10 on the Wii, each mini-game has been visually and mechanically updated to run smoothly on the 3DS, allowing both veteran and new players to experience the core fun of the series in one cohesive platform.

In terms of controls, the game makes full use of the 3DS’s portability and core input features. All mini-games are controlled using buttons and the directional pad, with minimal use of gyroscopic or touchscreen functions. This design choice ensures that the majority of the mini-games can run smoothly, even during four-player local play sessions. Many of the mini-games test reflexes, memory, accuracy, or competitive and cooperative strategies. Classic titles such as Bumper Balls, Shy Guy Says, and Pushy Penguins make a return, having been among the most popular mini-games in their original appearances.

The game includes several modes, such as “Mini-Game Mode,” “Championship Battles,” “Coin Challenge,” and “Single Player Minigame Island.” Players can freely select their favorite mini-games to compete in, or take on a series of games in a progression-based challenge. Notably, the game supports Download Play, allowing up to four players to join with just one game card. This feature greatly enhances the convenience and accessibility of local multiplayer, reinforcing the game’s role as a portable party companion.

The "Minigame Island" mode is geared toward solo players and provides a progression-based experience where they compete against AI on a simplified board map to unlock additional mini-games. While this mode offers a degree of challenge and collection goals, it lacks the depth and event-driven dynamics of traditional Mario Party board gameplay, making it feel more linear and repetitive in comparison.

Visually, the game presents a unified aesthetic by redrawing all the mini-games with a consistent art style. Regardless of whether the original games came from N64, GameCube, Wii, or DS, they’ve been faithfully reimagined for the 3DS’s capabilities, resulting in vibrant colors and smooth character animations. The soundtrack stays true to the original musical themes of each mini-game, with some tracks receiving updated arrangements to enhance the sense of nostalgia while ensuring overall audio quality remains consistent.

Reception from critics and players was mixed. On the positive side, many longtime fans appreciated the ability to relive 100 classic mini-games in one package, calling it a heartfelt tribute to the series. For those who grew up with the franchise, the game serves as a nostalgic and joyful celebration. On the other hand, some reviewers criticized the absence of the traditional board game format, which they felt stripped away the strategic charm that defined the series. Several mini-games, once contextualized within larger board maps and scenarios, felt repetitive or lacked depth when played in isolation. Additionally, some felt that the 3DS was not the most suitable platform for a multiplayer party game, and believed that the title would have fared better if released on the Nintendo Switch with online play support.

In summary, Mario Party: The Top 100 is a tribute crafted for fans of the series, offering a compact and joyful collection of mini-games that span Mario Party’s rich history. By forgoing complex narrative and board strategy, it presents a simple, intuitive, and fast-paced party experience. While there are debates over its content depth and long-term replayability, it still captures the core essence of Mario Party—fun, competition, and laughter—making it a worthwhile title for gatherings or quick gaming sessions.
