Unlocking Challenge Road in Super Mario Party

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a passionate Mario Party gamer, the trickiest part can be accessing the post-game Challenge Road mode. After digging into guides and experimenting extensively in-game, I‘ve uncovered the step-by-step process to unlock Challenge Road. Keep reading as I share everything you need to know!

What is Challenge Road?

Challenge Road is a solo minigame gauntlet added in Super Mario Party. It contains over 100 challenges across 6 different worlds to test your skills.

Beating Challenge Road requires mastery of all 84 minigames. It‘s no walk in the park! But the sense of satisfaction from overcoming its difficult trials is worth the effort.

Requirement #1: Unlock All 84 Minigames

This one is non-negotiable. You need to unlock every single minigame by playing through all major game modes:

  • Party Mode unlocks approximately 35 minigames
  • Partner Party unlocks around 15 more
  • Sound Stage unlocks another 25 by completing all difficulty levels
  • River Survival adds 5 minigames to the list

I estimate it takes over 20 hours of total playtime to unlock the full minigame roster!

Tracking Minigame Progress

I highly recommend frequently checking your overall minigame completion status via the Minigames menu. This displays all 84 slots and shows locked minigames as question marks. It‘s invaluable for knowing what modes to focus on.

Requirement #2: Finish Main Story Modes

Completing the story modes in Sound Stage and River Survival serves a dual purpose. First, it unlocks minigames. But also, finishing all stages seems to be an hidden criteria for spawning Challenge Road.

So play through every stage of:

  • Sound Stage – Beat all routes on Easy, Hard and Very Hard
  • River Survival – Complete all 4 routes

The Moment of Truth

Once you‘ve unlocked every last minigame and completed the story modes – navigate back to Party Plaza from the main menu. If you‘ve met criteria, the Challenge Road icon will now be selectable!

The Sense of Satisfaction

Unlocking Challenge Road requires a serious investment of game time. But it offers some of the most delightful and demanding Mario Party challenges ever devised. I wish you the best of luck in overcoming this ultimate test of skill and endurance!
