In Super Mario Party Jamboree, players can discover five new boards: take the escalators in the Rainbow Galleries, try to stay on track in the Crazy Circuit, or prepare for the chaos caused by the volcano on Goomba Island, to name but a few.

Our review of Super Mario Party Jamboree:
So, what's Nintendo' s new party game worth? It's a game we were able to try out during a game we played with four colleagues one evening. And therein lies the software's appeal: a party game to play with your buddies, for fun-filled evenings, both on and off the screen (some don't hesitate to take revenge for having lost coins or a star, others may well get in your way during mini-games, but always in good spirits). And that's where it really works!
Graphically speaking, Nintendo continues its glow-up by offering an application in line with the highly polished and colorful DA of the latest games based around the plumber. It's beautiful, it's simple, it's good. In terms of gameplay, Mario Party regulars won't notice any major differences, even though the mini-games and board mechanics feature a number of new features that bring a fresh look to the game. For example, an iconic mini-game (Donkey Kongas bongos, Mario Kart, etc.) allows you to take an "ally" (the famous "Jamboree", which can be Waluigi, Donkey Kong, etc.) with you during the game, enabling you to collect more coins or other items.
We also appreciate the items on offer in the store during games, which are different from other games in the franchise, but not very varied on the boards. And our favorite, the very graphic and very funny "emoticons", which allow you to communicate, in quotation marks, with other players when you're not playing locally. It's almost more fun than the game itself.
In addition, there are other game modes, such asGoomba Island, a kind of "solo" mode in which you help various NPCs to build a board by collecting stars, or Mario Party "Pro", which leaves nothing to chance for a real war without mercy with family or friends.
Super Marty Party Jamboree is therefore a new vintage in the world of party games, and looks set to be THE hit of the year. A game for families and board game enthusiasts alike. Now all you have to do is find out!
Super Mario Party Jamboree promises a vibrant and entertaining celebration that should bring families and friends together for hours of fun. Get ready to join the party with Mario and friends on October 17, 2024 on Nintendo Switch.
