Utter Nonsense (Soundalike Star in the British English release) is a General minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour. This minigame is the only one that requires two to four human players to play. The American English name comes from a phrase referring to something false or silly.

IntroductionEdit

A roulette spins from the ten playable characters that shows whom the player is going to imitate. After a few seconds, it stops on a specific character's image and the minigame begins.

GameplayEdit

Like in The Choicest Voice, the players use the microphone to imitate the selected character's voice. The voice clip will be played and a 3 second countdown will commence before the players imitate. After the countdown finishes, the players can imitate the character. Finally, the game will rate the voice recording from a score of 0 to 100. Whichever player gets the higher score than the others wins and the winner's imitation plays. Something similar happens if the player ends their turn on a Bowser Space and the wheel stops at "Imitate Bowser's voice," the player needs to imitate one of Bowser's voice clips.

ControlsEdit

  •   – Imitate a character.
