Rio Multiplayer Party Game! is a video game based on the film Rio and was released on April 12, 2011, by THQ, made for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Its gameplay is similar to that of the Mario Party series. Players can choose from 6 of the series' main avian characters, namely Blu, Jewel, Rafael, Eva, Pedro, and Nico.

The Xbox 360 version has three exclusive bonus mini-games included, as stated on the cover of the game.

Gameplay[]

Players can select which character they want to play as, from Blu, Jewel, Eva, Rafael, Pedro, or Nico. They can play 40 (43 in the Xbox 360 version) mini-games in the game (similar to the Mario Party series). Mini-game areas include the Smuggler's Den, Beach of Rio, Rainforest of Rio, Moose Lake, and the Carnival Parade. In Story Mode, the players play through Moose Lake first, in which their journey ends in the Carnival Parade (referred to as "Carnaval').

The game includes pop quizzes about Brazilian culture within the movie. It appears to happen after the movie, seeing as all characters do what they want to, and Nigel is powerless against numbers.

Upon entering the world of Rio, you will be presented with the following Options from the Main Menu

Play - Leads into the five available game modes to begin the player's gameplay in Rio.

Story Mode:

Party Mode:
- This is a free-play mode. The player can select any number of mini-games in any order in the game style that the player wants to.
Carnaval Wheel:
- The players are shown in an "ultimate game show experience". Players spin the wheel to determine the games they wanted to play and points they're worth. They can also use Jokers which gives them double points.
Garland Gala:
- The player accept one of three challenges from their favorite film characters. Players win garlands by completing their games and use them to try and beat them in the Garland Gala. There consists of Luiz's challenge, Mauro's challenge, and Nigel's challenge, all of which require 25, 50, and 75 points respectively.
Carnaval Dance:
- There are two dance styles: "Standard" and "Crazy". Players gather as many marmosets as they can. The first player to fill their dance line (specifically 20 in both dance styles) is the winner.

Join Game Screen[]

Upon selecting any mode the player is presented with the Join Game screen. Up to 4 players may join the game, and once joined, players may change their displayed character name or simply proceed with the default names.

Character Select Screen[]

Players can choose their game character from their favorites. The following playable characters go in a specific order:

Story Mode[]

Story Mode is the main game mode. In Story Mode, the players play through the minigames in the order of the movie. These are shown along with your movie host character on the Story mode screen. Locations vary from Moose Lake to Copacabana Beach to the Carnaval. Players play through Moose Lake first before moving onward. Players must complete 3 minigames at each location. After doing so they are returned to the story mode screen. If the player is ranked first after each location's minigames, they'Il be able to progress to the next location (with the exception of Carnaval). If the player doesn't finish first, the player will be brought back to the main menu, although this only applies to single-player, and multi-player with at least 1 CPU.

Moose Lake
Rainforest
Rio Streets
Aviary
Smuggler's Warehouse
Corcovado
Copacabana Beach
Fruit Market
Luiz's Garage
Carnaval

The Story Mode saves the player's location at the start of each new location. Once a save point exists the players will be instructed, whether they wish to start a new game or continue the game in progress when selecting Story Mode:

If the player wishes to continue where they previously left off they should select ra continue the game in progress.
If they instead wish to delete their save data and start a new story mode game they should select to start a new game. Doing this process will cause any current progress to be permanently lost.

Party Mode[]

Party Mode is one of the five available game modes. It is a free-play game mode that has 4 different sub-modes (known as Party Styles in-game). The minigames are unlocked from the start.

VS: 1 to 4 players compete head-to-head.
VS + Quiz: Like the standard VS mode, 1 to 4 players compete head-to-head, but every player has the chance to gain extra leaderboard points between rounds by competing to the Rio Quiz.
Team: 2 vs. 2 team mode, where players pick a team mate, either human or CPU/AI, and then play together. The player's leaderboard are combined or shared, and the team with the most points by the end of the game is the winner.
Team + Quiz: Like the standard team mode, but with the Rio quiz between rounds.

The Party Mode selection screen allows the player to customize their own gameplay experience, with the following options:

Selecting a single game
Stacking and playing as many games as players wish. All stacked games will be played back to back in the order that they selected them. Games that have been added to the stack have a green arrow icon displayed to their right hand side.
Select to play 5, 10 or 20 random games. This is for players who like a surprise or simply can't decide. The game will select the chosen number of games at random from the available games list. The random game options cannot be added to game stack and will automatically replace any existing stack if selected.

In addition to selecting games, the Party Mode Screen allows the players to see how well they've played their game.

Coming in first place while beating a minigame will be rewarded with a trophy. This will be displayed on the left hand side of each game that they came first on.

There are 3 different grades of trophies: bronze, silver, and gold. The Al difficulty can be changed in the setting screen. The type of trophy rewarded depends on the Al difficulty that the player completes when coming first:

Beating the Easy Al difficulty will reward the player with a bronze trophy.
Beating the Medium AI difficulty will reward the player a silver trophy.
Beating the Hard AI difficulty will reward the player with a gold trophy.

NOTE: Bold indicates that the mini-game is exclusive to Xbox platforms.

(sad emoticon) The player with the most points when time runs out wins!

The players colour
The player's selected cliaracter
The player's position in the current minigame

Depending on the game being played the player HUD will also display the following generic elements:

Lives: On life based games the number of player's lives are represented by "feathers". As lives are lost, feathers are subsequently removed. Once all feathers have been removed, the "lives" are lost and the player will be eventually "removed" from the game.
Rounds: On round based games, the number of rounds the player has won is shown by trophy icons.

Pickups[]

Rio's minigames feature a large number of collectable items. Some award the player points, and some give them temporary abilites. The most common of these are based on fruits:

Generic Pickups[]

Generic pickups are affected by multiplier powerups.

Mango: Worth 10 points
Banana: Worth 15 points
Watermelon Slice: Worth 25 points
Pineapple: Worth 50 points

Special Pickups[]

Bodyguard: A flock of protective birds (which depends on the player's color) fly down and circle the player. They'll protect the player against one hit of damage. Alternatively the player can ram their bodyguard into another player to temporarily stun them. After protecting the player or stunning another player, the bodyguard will fly away and will be removed from the player. It is depicted as a shield.
Chili Power: Players with chili power run faster and it can be used to stun other players by running into them. It wears off after a set time period, in which the flames are "extinguished". It is depicted as a red chilli pepper.
Invulnerability: Protects players against most forms of attacks and other negative special pickups, making them invincible. It wears off after a set time period and is depicted as a blue shield.
Latin Trance: Causes all other players to enter a "dance trance", slowing their movement and limiting their actions, which appears to be more of a "hypnotized dance". The latin trance effect will wear off all affected players after a set time period or if another unaffected player takes a hit. It is depicted as two beamed musical notes.
Leaderboard Bonus: Gives the collecting player an extra leader board point. Leaderboard bonus points are added onto the players score at the end of the round when the results table is displayed. This also applies to Story Mode. This powerup does not appear in the Carnaval Wheel or Carnaval Dance game modes. It is depicted as a golden trophy.
Magnetism: Increases the player s pickup collection range (which is depicted as a magnet), allowing quick hovering of collectables. It wears off after a set time period.
Multiplier: Add an "X2" multiplier to all scores, which are both positive and negative. By collecting additional multiplier pickups whilst already under the effect of a multiplier the player can increase their multiplier score to a "maximum" of X5 (the player can "effectively" bypass the limit, which gives an X6 or X7 in certain circumstances). It wears off after a set time period. It is always depicted as the text "x2", regardless of multiplier effect.
Pick Pocket: A marmoset will steal points from one of the opposing players with the highest scores and add those points onto the collecting players score. It is represented by a depiction of a marmoset's head.
Points Bonus: Adds a points bonus to the playera mini-game score. It is represented by a depiction of a coin with a plus symbol on it.
Shock And Awe: Temporarily stuns all other players while being simultaneously "struck by lightning". It is represented by a depiction of a yellow lightning bolt symbol.
Speed Up: Increases player's run speed. It wears off after a set time period and is represented by a blue shoe.
Pickup Rain: Causes generic pickups to "rain" from the sky, meaning that many of them drop from above.
Upgrade: Depicted as a pipe wrench, this special pickup upgrades all pickups highest value pickup type. In the case of certain games such as Fruit Bomb, it converts all of the "marmosets" into their own color as soon as the player collects the Upgrade.

Exclusive to Marmoset Bowling[]

Beach Ball: Changes the player's next ball into a large one which appears to be a lifesized beach ball.
Cannonball: Changes the players next ball into a cannonball When it hits a marmoset it will explode, knocking down all nearby marmosets in the vicinity. If a player holds it for too long or hesitates before launching the cannonball, it could explode and will stun that player.

"Check it out! It's the marmosets' newly acquired carnaval wheel! Pretty sweet, right? Contrary to popular belief this is not the same carnaval wheel that was swiped from the "crazy-eights" float last month. And to prove it we ripped off the sign that said "crazy-eights" on the top of it. Now listen up - here's the rules."

―Mauro, 1st monologue

"You'll each take it in turn to spin the carnaval wheel. You see the big outside wheel? That shows which game you'll be playing next. Now that smaller inner wheel - you got it? That shows how many points the winner will get for that game. There are extra bonuses on the points wheel too - land on those for bonus points."

―Mauro, 2nd monologue

"Now this bit's a little more complicated so listen up! Each of you has 3 jokers. Now if you play a joker and win the next game you'll get double points! You know what you get for coming second? Nada - zilch - nothing! So use 'em carefully 'cos when they're gone, they're gone."

―Mauro, 3rd monologue

"All right, that's it. You each get 3 turns at spinning the wheel and whoever has the most points after all 12 games is the winner. So let's get to playing! Me and the boys have a dance-off with some howler monkeys in a hour."

―Mauro, 4th monologue

"Done already? Man, you guys are faster than a capoeira fighter on hot coals! Now that's quick! Okay, let's see who won."

―Mauro's monologue after 12 rounds have passed and after a Sudden Death Playoff

Carnaval Wheel is an optional, additional game mode where players compete in 12 different rounds while adding up their scores. Players spin the wheel to determine the games they wanted to play and points they're worth. They can also use Jokers which gives them double points, but there are only three in each player.

"Alright, guys! Let's play some games! Check it out - the better you do the more marmosets (marmoset icon) you'll get to come join your dance line. And what's better than a long dance line? Nothing, dudes! Nothing at all!!"

―Luiz, 3rd monologue at the beginning of Carnaval Dance Standard

"Hey, did yous know there's an ideal length for a dance line?! It's 20! (It's true!) The first one of yous to reach it will be crowned king!"
