Super Mario Party has always been a gaming staple in our house. For years, friends and family have been rocking game nights with Mario and friends on Nintendo consoles.
While some recent titles have been more of an experiment, failing to reach the high standards these games typically deliver, Super Mario Party Jamboree takes the experience back to its roots while We’ve added some interesting new mechanics and increased the fun whether you play or not. You can play in local co-op, online multiplayer, and even single player. There’s just something for everyone here.
Let’s party like ourselves
Developer Nintendo Cube has learned from the mistakes of previous Switch Mario Party games and made it playable on seven boards this time around. Unlocked through some very simple challenges, each board features a unique theme from Mario’s history.
Co-op play has always been at the core of these titles, and games have evolved from local co-op to online play. Single player acts as an actual campaign here, allowing you to play several boards, games, and modes alongside the game’s AI and other players online, allowing you to open the game to a new audience.
Gameplay is as expected. Select a board and mode, and each player rolls a die to move around the board, aiming to collect as many stars as possible. However, it’s not that easy. There are plenty of mini-games, challenges, and square effects to help or hinder your progress.
Before starting each board, you will be shown a time frame for each game (usually around 20 minutes). There are also other islands that can be explored in mini-games separate from the main title. The more you play challenges like cooking games, ball rolling games, flying mini-games, and Bowser Bomb Battles (my personal favorite!), the more boards you can unlock.
Western Land and Mario’s Rainbow Castle also focus on continuing the aesthetic of previous games and improving on it. Each board is beautifully animated with characters, icons, and reactions each time a player lands on it.

The Jamboree portion of the game involves Jamboree friends who randomly appear on the board. If you can reach them in time, you can recruit them to your party and get more coins and abilities such as extras with each roll.
You can also purchase additional stars or end lifelong friendships when you manage to steal stars from other players. There were times when I had zero stars, but my Jamboree friends helped me win the game by stealing stars and slowing down the dice to maximize points.
Remember, this also works in the opposite direction, potentially forcing you to go through Bowser Square twice. In reality it depends on luck, and the fate of every player is connected to chance.
final thoughts
Mario Party has never looked (or played) so perfectly. After some disappointing previous Switch titles, Super Mario Party Jamboree enters the second half of the Switch lifestyle, offering online co-op, local co-op, or single-player options for joining the party. Provides players with many options.
Numerous modes and mini-games allow you to play the game in many different ways. The new board offers a new coat of paint that continues to use the classic formula of the main party mode, while also offering a rich single player mode and a party planning mode where you can go behind the scenes of the gameplay and complete missions. Masu. For NPCs.
Super Mario Party Jamboree makes a strong case for the title of the best Mario Party game in the series’ 24-year history. It cleverly combines single-player and multiplayer couch co-op and online multiplayer with a variety of modes to make every bit of it fun to play.
The result is Super Mario Party Jamboree, the ultimate party game that the whole family can enjoy, regardless of their gaming device skill level.
