Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Overview
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the thirteenth home console installment in the Mario Party series and the third entry on the Nintendo Switch Platform after 2018’s Super Mario Party and 2021’s Mario Party Superstars. Developed by Nintendo Cube (formerly NDcube) and published by Nintendo, it is a multiplayer party game that retains much of the series’ core board-game mechanics, where players navigate themed boards to collect coins, purchase stars, and aim to outscore opponents. The Switch version was released on October 17, 2024, but an enhanced port for the Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release on July 24, 2025.
The game is set on an island comprising seven different game boards, including five new environments—such as Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party and Goomba Lagoon—and two returning classics: Mario’s Rainbow Castle and Western Land. It introduces a mix of new and returning boards, such as Mario’s Rainbow Castle from the first Mario Party game and Western Land from Mario Party 2, alongside new ones like Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party and King Bowser’s Keep.
The game features over 110 minigames, the highest number in the series to date. New modes include Koopathlon, a 20-player online race through minigames, and Bowser Kaboom Squad, an 8-player cooperative battle against Impostor Bowser. Additionally, the game introduces Jamboree TV, a feature that allows players to access game data, settings, and music selections from the central hub area known as the Party Plaza.

Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Gameplay
The central gameplay of Super Mario Party Jamboree revolves around the Mario Party mode, where up to four players take turns navigating game boards and competing in minigames. Players roll dice to determine how many spaces they can move on the board. These game boards can often have their own gimmicks, like catching a train in Western Land or avoiding rising tides in Goomba Lagoon. Collecting coins through these winning minigames allows players to purchase stars. The player with the most stars when the game ends is the winner.
The game introduces a variety of new features and game modes. The Jamboree Buddy system allows players to team up with CPU-controlled allies who offer perks like extra dice rolls or increased coin rewards. For solo players, Party Planner Trek offers a campaign where players complete tasks to earn rewards and unlock decorations. Minigame Bay provides access to over 110 minigames, including boss rushes and themed challenges. Cooperative experiences like Rhythm Kitchen and Toad’s Item Factory utilize motion controls, while competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes like Koopathlon and Bowser Kaboom Squad support up to 20 and 8 players online, respectively.
Super Mario Party Jamboree Reviews
A Favorable Party for All
Critic reviews for Super Mario Party Jamboree on Metacritic averaged at 82 out of 100, with a range of opinions from different outlets. Game8 awarded the game a 70 out of 100. While they praised the game for introducing new minigames, they also acknowledged that their quality could be inconsistent. IGN, on the other hand, was more enthusiastic, giving the game a 9 out of 10 and calling it one of the best in the series, albeit with some less memorable side offerings.
GameSpot and Eurogamer took a more critical stance, with GameSpot scoring the game a 6 out of 10 and Eurogamer awarding it 2 stars out of 5. Both outlets noted that while the core Mario Party gameplay remains fun, the game’s focus on quantity over quality and reliance on chance rather than skill diminishes the overall experience.
User reviews on Metacritic averaged at 8.9 and generally reflect positive sentiment towards the main Party Mode. However, some users were dissatisfied with the use of motion controls and the lackluster nature of many minigames.
