Mario Party: Island Tour[a] is a 2013 party video game developed by NDcube and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. The third handheld installment in the Mario Party series, the game was first announced during a Nintendo Direct in April 2013, and was released in North America in November 2013, in Europe and Australia in January 2014, and in Japan in March 2014.
Like most entries in the Mario Party series, Mario Party: Island Tour features characters of the Mario franchise, controlled by human players or artificial intelligence, competing in a board game with frequent minigames. In total, there are seven game boards, ten playable characters, and more than eighty minigames to choose from. There are also several game modes, including a single-player story campaign. Unlike with most Mario Party games, Mario Party: Island Tour's game boards have varying objectives, none of which involve collecting Stars or coins.
Mario Party: Island Tour received mixed reviews, with general praise for the variety in its game boards and minigames as well as criticism for its lack of an online multiplayer mode. The game has sold 2.95 million units worldwide, making it both the 24th-best-selling game for the Nintendo 3DS and a Nintendo Selects title. Mario Party: Island Tour was succeeded by Mario Party 10 for the Wii U in 2015.
