Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade
Gameplay
There are two modes of playing the minigames available: Challenge Mode and Freeplay Mode. Challenge Mode has players compete in five set Wii Remote games based on the world selected at the start, with five randomly chosen Wii U Gamepad games in between. Up to four people (with CPUs to make sure that there are always four players) can play at once to try to beat a set score and unlock more characters and minigames to play in Freeplay Mode. In Freeplay Mode, up to 10 of the minigames can be chosen, regardless of whether they use the Gamepad or the Wii Remotes, to be played in a set order with up to four people (with CPUs to keep the number of players at four, if necessary) with no restrictions or scores to beat.
Despite the title, there are 35 minigames in total. They are spread around five different worlds, with each world having five Wii Remote games and two games that use the Wii U Gamepad.
