Since Mario Party 10 is coming out in Japan 2 weeks from now I'm going to go over things that we know about and things things that could be hidden in the game.
Main modes
amiibo party: This mode plays like the older Mario Party where you earn coin and collect stars. Each board also has it's own event and if anyone is playing as Bowser then only Bowser mini-games will show up. You also need
amiibo to play this mode.
Mario Party: This mode has the gameplay of Mario Party 9 where you collect the most mini-stars to win.
Bowser Party: This is a new mode where you can control Bowser with the Gamepad to wipe out the hearts of 4 other players. You can also team up with 3 other players to out race Bowser.

amiibo and the game gets an update.

Other Menu options
There are 3 other menu options.
amiibo Bonus, Bonus games and Toad's Room.
amiibo Bonus
From the Nintendo website.
Nintendo wrote:
- Use each compatible amiibo once per day to get a bonus, such as a different base for your game piece!
- Tap any other amiibo figure to the Wii U GamePad controller to play Scratch Bonus and win Mario Party points, letting you unlock in-game bonus content
So I guess the different base might hint at other Mario's for games down the line and I think you wont always win on Scratch Bonus.
Bonus games
I think the Minigame mode and extra games share this section.
Toad's Room
The in game shop. This picture has leaked showing the details though.
The first option is where you buy Toadette and Spike, the second is for the other cars you can buy, the 3rd is likely for Mini Star constellations/ figures and maybe some extra modes and a 6th board and the last option is likely for the game sounds, Minigame records and the credits.
Game update ideas
If Nintendo does release more Super Mario
amiibo for the other playable characters a game update can add more
amiibo boards and extra mini-games. I think the Toadette Board would be based on music, the Spike Board would be based on the Mountain or his level in 3D World, The Daisy board will likely be based off the Cruiser track even though it would be cool if it was based off her kingdom, The Waluigi Board will likely be based on the Pinball track.
DLC ideas
Even though I don't think there will be DLC Nintendo could make money off it if they play there cards.
4 or 5 more boards added. Since this is the 10th game how cool would it be if there was 10 boards? I think they would be based on the Desert, Mountain, Ice and Space worlds of New Super Mario Bros U and wildcard. So something based off of Tropical Freeze or 3D World would work.
More characters
You know it sucks how the roster size is the same as Mario Party 9 and since changes had to be made Birdo, Shy Guy, Koopa and Kamek where removed. I know DK, Rosalina and Toadette are strong replacements. I would rather have Shy Guy or Diddy over Spike though. I know most of those characters where also removed since Bowser Party is a thing though but, it makes no sense how Spike was added when he's a bad guy.
I'm thinking that if Nintendo makes 2 more Super Mario waves 4 more characters could be added and Bowser Jr. could be playable in
amiibo party.
Wave 2
DK, Rosalina, Wario, Toadette, Daisy and Waluigi
Wave 3
Spike, Birdo, Diddy, Bowser Jr, Lakitu and a wildcard
They can use the date from Mario Party 9 or use her model from Mario and Sonic at the 2014 games if they need an HD one, He has not been seen in the game and his Tropical Freeze model can be used, When he is used in
amiibo Party only Bowser Jr. games or extra games can be played, Lakitu is no longer a boss and he is not on the NPC list. So they can use the red shell one from Mario Kart since he has never been show as a bad guy.
Some kind of online
People have asked for some kind of online for years so even a Minigame Mode would be fine.
