I'm assuming they only included five, so they could have one board for each Star difficulty. The first Mario Party had eight, but the most common number of boards for any Mario Party game was six after that. While these are some truly classic game boards for this pseudo-remake, it's disappointing that there are only five of them total. There are only five boards: Yoshi's Tropical Island, Space Land, Peach's Birthday Cake, Woody Woods, and Horror Land.

The stickers primarily convey mild sentiments like congratulations, encouragement, shock, or even a little gloating in a silly manner, but none of them are hurtful. They're fun when playing locally, but they really shine playing with people online. The best new addition in this game is the stickers. Path countdowns show how far away you are from a Star if you take different paths, cutting down on how long each player takes since they don't have to access the map all the time like they did in older games. That's something I appreciate since my friends and I have such busy lives. If I'm playing with friends, I can save the game and come back to continue playing at a different time.
Not to mention, if I need to duck out of a game early when playing with random players, a CPU takes my place, so I don't have to worry about messing things up for everyone else. That way, if someone isn't paying attention or is otherwise unresponsive, the game continues on. A timer for how long players have to roll or use items on their turn, a timer for responding to NPCs, and a timer for readying up for minigames.
When it comes to online play, I was happy to find that there are timers everywhere. In addition to playing locally with a split-screen view, you can also play online against specific friends or random people around the world as long as everyone has their own copy of the game and a Nintendo Switch Online or a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Stickers are silly, encouraging, or mildly competitive, but never hurtful.
