Mario Party: Star Rush isn't too far away, and based on our time with it so far it could be a nice bit of 3DS fun. In a bit of a turn up for the books is that it's arriving in Europe nearly a month sooner than in North America, landing in the region on 7th October.
The Official Nintendo UK store has emailed customers to pitch its pre-order offerings not just for the game, but also the new Super Mario-themed amiibo that'll arrive alongside it. These memorably include a glow in the dark Boo, though not all of the new figures are available for pre-order from the official store yet - Waluigi is missing.
In any case, while not competing in price the UK's official store is offering some add-ons and bundles, though you'll be able to find cheaper deals elsewhere if the extras don't appeal to you. The various options are below.
- Mario Party: Star Rush + Notebook - £34.99
- Mario Party: Star Rush + Notebook + Boo amiibo + Spinning Fire Bar amiibo Display Stand - £49.99
- Mario Party: Star Rush + Notebook + Wario amiibo + Spinning Fire Bar amiibo Display Stand - £49.99
- Mario Party: Star Rush + Notebook + Donkey Kong amiibo + Spinning Fire Bar amiibo Display Stand - £49.99
- Mario Party: Star Rush + Notebook + Rosalina amiibo + Spinning Fire Bar amiibo Display Stand - £49.99
- Boo amiibo - £10.99
- Wario amiibo - £10.99
- Donkey Kong amiibo - £10.99
- Rosalina amiibo - £10.99
Are you tempted by any of the new amiibo or Star Rush?

Great deals if you like the add-ons, better deal at places like Base. Either way, I am hyped for the game as it looks like a lot of fun
Ooooooh! Just in time for Halloween!!
Is it not supposed to be diddy Kong amiibo
When was a new donkey Kong announced?
Already seems like a lifetime ago when the Amiibo would sell out immediately
@sandman89 E3 2016 Treehouse Live.
already got my amiibos and the game pre-ordered. can't wait to play this game with my kids
Already preordered them ages ago. Gotta preorder the new Zelda amiibos once I get back to the city for university next week, though.
The Boo one is very tempting, but I'll give these a miss. I'm still burnt out from buying amiibo.
While I hate Boos in Mario games, I do like the character design and am tempted by that amiibo, but I'd want it to be easily removed from the base - is there any likelihood of that (I don't own any amiibo with bases so don't know how they're made)?
@BigBluePanda were you there for the Pokemon Go Plus wars of just two weeks ago? Some things never change...
Amazon UK made the save last month
@russellohh What happened with the Pokémon GO Plus wars?
I managed to get my two Pokémon GO Plus a day before release perfectly fine.
This article needs more photos.
I think these are all of the new and reissues for this game.
Boo, Donkey Kong, Wario, Rosalina Oct 7th
Waluigi, Diddy Kong and Daisy Nov 4th
I got those dates off a German site along w/ the pic, so I don't know what the other regions dates are.

No waluigi confirned!
I want the Boo for sure! I would probably pick up the Walugi and Rosalina too. We missed out on picking up Rosalina when she was originally released. I actually prefer the original but I have a problem with spending more than retail for anything.
@Fbigabig The Waluigi amiibo is confirmed for November 4th.
Amiibo aren't worth £10.99 anymore. These will be £5 on Amazon after Christmas.
@RainbowGazelle amiibo never were worth £10.99 in my opinion. I'm not against them outright, but over priced and under supported has been the theme since launch. They are, overall, a very cynical cash cow for Nintendo without them actually investing time or money in making them do much to reward collector's or gamers.
Since the rush to buy them is dead, I'll probably pick these up on a 1 at a time basis.
The Zelda ones on the other hand, I might just snap them all up.... XD
Meanwhile in the Nintendo DE Store we have Zelda underwear...
Looking forward to this! I preordered the game on tesco already but now I like the notebook that's free.
I ordered all the amiibo though ready..and can't wait to meet them all 😊
@rjejr I agree- this article feels a little stingey with the eye candy.
Such colourful characters, but no pics? I am flamboozled.
@setezerocinco Zelda's underwear you say??
🏃👄👌
Wait are all Boos glow in the dark?
No King Boo yet, but i'll hold out hope.
Also will I be the only one keeping my Waluigi amiibo locked in a safe, underwater, with sharks guarding it, so it doesn't come to life and kill me in my sleep? I can't be the only one concerned...
@HappyMaskedGuy "flamboozled"
Rosalina! I also prefer the original, but this one looks good too. Ummm, maybe Waluigi and I need another amiibo stand.
I just want Cloud right now. Maybe the Link amiibo later on..... a glow in the dark Boo is tempting though.
the spinning fire bar amiibo display case got me intrigued.
I do need a game with my amiibo and I'm not getting this game — that Boo, though...
I'm buying the Diddy Kong and getting Bowser Jr. and Luigi (wish they had an 8-bit version of him) for Mini Mario and Friends. I think they missed a trick by not including support for other characters, but it saves my wallet!
@HappyMaskedGuy now they have just the Nintendo Classic one, but some weeks ago...
