Super Mario Party Jamboree

TLDR: Super Mario Jamboree for Nintendo Switch is the ultimate Mario Party experience—packed with over 110 minigames, a great mix of old favourites and new twists, and fun for all ages (even if the tides of victory can change faster than you can say "Banana Peel"). A must-play for families, but some online-only modes and long board game sessions might be a dealbreaker for some. Alright, folks, gather around because Super Mario Jamboree has arrived, and it’s here to throw the wildest party you’ve ever seen (without the questionable karaoke moments). If you love minigames, mayhem, and a lot of playful "oh-no-not-boo-again!" moments, this is the game for you. With 110+ minigames, seven boards, and a variety of modes that’ll keep you laughing for hours, it’s everything you want from a Mario Party game... and then some. The Party Never Stops Let’s talk about the minigames. Over 110 of them, and yes, that’s the most in Mario Party history. Whether you’re running through merry-go-rounds or doing motion-control mini-golf (no, seriously), there’s a bit of something for everyone. And if you’re not ready to be bested by your cousin in Rhythm Kitchen, then maybe you can enjoy watching your 5-year-old rock out as they whip up the latest virtual dish. (Shoutout to my little Yoshi fan, who absolutely nails those rhythm challenges.) Multiplayer Madness The multiplayer is where this game truly shines. It’s a Mario Party game, so expect the competition to get as fierce as a Bowser boss battle. With the addition of a 20-player Koopathlon mode, there’s never a shortage of ways to flex your party skills, but if you’re looking for something more traditional, the board games won’t disappoint. Just beware—to get the best from these, they can run a bit long (2 hours+), and the shifting tides of victory can leave you feeling like you’ve just been struck by a Dualling Glove when you least expect it. But hey, that’s the beauty of Mario Party, right? New Stuff I’ve got to shout out the New Stuff to the new modes: Rhythm Kitchen, Toad’s Item Factory, and Paratroopa Flight School. Toad’s Item Factory is a blast—though the limited levels mean, you’ll probably wrap it up quickly—while the Rhythm Kitchen stands out as the true family favourite. It’s easy to pick up but challenging enough that even seasoned players get a kick out of it. Plus, there’s something about the rhythmic chaos that appeals to every age group, especially when it’s combined with some funky tunes. And the motion-based minigames? It’s always a hit—except when they make you spin like you’re on a Mario Kart track, but hey, it’s part of the fun. Kid-Friendly, Parent-Approved Speaking of families, my 5-year-old loves playing as Yoshi and Peach, and now Spike (yes, Spike, he is back). The mini-games are engaging enough to keep her invested, but some of the Jamboree Buddy challenges? Yeah, they’re a bit much for little hands. But that’s okay—there’s more than enough here to keep even the youngest players coming back for more. The Party’s Still Online, Though Now, there’s one caveat: the game does require Nintendo Online to unlock its full potential. That might not be an issue for hardcore fans, but you won’t be playing those games if you’re looking for a quick family game night. On the flip side, the local play is fantastic—this is a game built for couch co-op, and it delivers that in spades. The Verdict In the end, what’s not to love? Super Mario Jamboree is the ultimate Mario Party experience. It’s packed with enough mini-games, boards, and modes to keep things fresh, and the multiplayer chaos is as fun (and unpredictable) as ever. Some longer board games and online-only modes might be a hassle for some, but honestly, it’s Mario Party—where chaos and fun are the main event. Whether you’re a family of four or a solo player who just loves a good party, this game delivers the goods. Just bring snacks... and maybe a few band-aids for those bruised egos and thumbs.

I have to say, I absolutely love Super Mario Party Jamboree. It’s one of those games that brings out the best (and maybe a little bit of the worst) in everyone during game nights, and it’s become a staple whenever I’m hanging out with friends. Whether we’re laughing at someone getting sabotaged or holding our breath in a heated mini-game, it’s just pure fun Why we love it: Perfect for Game Nights This game just gets the vibe right. It’s easy for anyone to jump into, whether they’re a hardcore gamer or someone who barely touches a controller. I’ve played with people who had never touched a Switch before, and within minutes they were fully into it, trash-talking and scheming like pros. The Mini-Games Are Top-Tier Honestly, the mini-games are where the magic happens. They’re so creative and varied! I love that you can go from racing each other to blowing up balloons or coordinating as a team to navigate obstacles. There’s always something unexpected, and it keeps the energy up all night. Some are simple and silly, while others actually require strategy or quick thinking, so everyone has a chance to shine (or crash and burn hilariously). The Mario Charm It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Mario game—bright, colorful, and so full of personality. The little details, like character reactions or the music, really pull you into the party vibe. Even when I’m losing, I can’t help but smile (okay, maybe after the game is over). Different Modes Keep It Fresh I really like the different ways you can play. The regular board game mode is obviously the main attraction, but the co-op stuff like River Survival is so fun if you want to team up instead of just wrecking each other. It’s nice to have the option to mix things up. What Could Be Better: Now, as much as I love the game, there are a few things I wish were different: Not Enough Boards The boards are fun, don’t get me wrong, but there aren’t enough of them. After a few sessions, we’ve already played through them all, and it feels like we’re recycling the same experiences. A couple of extra boards would make a huge difference. Luck vs. Skill Look, I know luck is part of the charm of Mario Party, but sometimes it can feel like it’s too much. You can absolutely crush the mini-games, strategize, and still lose because someone landed on a lucky space or got a random bonus star. It’s funny sometimes, but it can also feel like all your effort was pointless.

Excellent game with lots of mini games which can be used to play solo or as multi player. Fun for all ages.

LOVE this game! Totally recomended. Great for family time and enjoyed every single detail of it.

Gioco meraviglioso per la famiglia. Divertentissimo per i bimbi ma anche per gli adulti.

Working perfect, only English language, arrives before the plan.

Muy bueno

Superb Game.... Totally addictive.... My son loved it....

Wir (anfang 30) spielen dieses Spiel total gerne mit Freunden oder aber auch den Kinder , man kann es alleine oder mit insgesamt 4 Spielern spielen. Tolle neue Karten, lustige neue Mini-Spiele vorhanden, wir haben als vergleich das 1. super Mario Party für die Switch, dieses war auch gut, dennoch sind die neuen Funktionen im neuen Super Mario Party Jamboree nochmal sehr interessant und spaßig. Klare Kaufempfehlung für personen die gerne solche Spiele spielen.
