==Game modes== | |||
===Mario Party=== | |||
Like with its predecessor, ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' features the traditional ''Mario Party'' gameplay as the main mode of the game; players traverse a game board to collect coins in order to purchase [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s. The gameplay is overall more similar to ''Mario Party Superstars'' than ''Super Mario Party'', sharing many of the same rules and mechanics, such as the dice rolling between one and ten and the occurrence of Bonus Minigames, where the coins won are doubled. Various new mechanics are introduced, such as Jamboree Buddies, a revamped version of the ally mechanic from ''Super Mario Party''. | |||
In online games with random players, each player's turn has a 30-second time limit. | |||
====Pro Rules==== | |||
Additionally, either Party Rules or Pro Rules can be selected for a game. With Pro Rules on, some mechanics of the game will be adjusted, aiming to create a more competitive game, which includes removing [[Hidden Block (Mario Party series)|Hidden Blocks]] and locking [[Boo]]'s coin steal to 15 coins. | |||
Pro Rules use a locked ruleset, with the only option that the player can have before starting a game is the ability to turn off mini-games help (unavailable in matchmaking) and motion-controlled minigames. The ruleset includes the game lasting for 12 turns only, one [[Bonus Star]] that is announced at the start of the game, and minigame selection being set to vote. The only three Bonus Stars that can be revealed are the Happening Star, Slowpoke Star, and Sightseer Star. | |||
Before starting a game, a player can choose one of the following items with which to start the game. | |||

{{footnote|note|1|Available only on boards with [[Skeleton Key]] gates.}} | |||
{{footnote|note|2|Unavailable on [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]] due to the fixed Star position.}} | |||
Other changes include: | |||
*[[Lucky Space]]s only giving a choice of either a [[Double Dice]] or 10 coins, with players having a chance to select what they want instead of a random roulette. | |||
*[[Unlucky Space]]s always giving 7 coins to the last-place player. | |||
*[[Chance Time Space]]s not appearing, instead being changed to a different space. | |||
*[[Bowser Space]]s always taking away a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]. | |||
**If the player does not have a star, Impostor Bowser will take away half of their coins instead. | |||
*The stock of items in an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] now being limited to two and not restocking once all items have been purchased. | |||
*Item minigames not appearing; when landing on an Item Space, the player will immediately be given whichever item the roulette stops on after they hit the box. | |||
*The spaces for where a Star can spawn being visible on the map, marked by a Star Stop Sign. | |||
**When a player purchases a Star, the Star Stop Sign will be removed from the map and a Star will no longer appear at a particular space until all Star Spaces have been used, at which point all Star Spaces will become eligible to host a Star and the cycle repeats, similarly to how the Star Spaces work in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. | |||
*[[Last Five Turns Event|Homestretch]] no longer having a special event. | |||
**The other events of [[Last Five Turns Event|Homestretch]] such as the Blue and Red Space increasing in amount earned or lost, respectively, and the duel that occurs when two players land on the same space remain unchanged. | |||
*Players being able to wager a Star during a Duel if both players have one without the requirement of the [[Super Dueling Glove]]. | |||

===Minigame Bay=== | |||
{{Main|Minigame Bay}} | |||
Minigame Bay is the main minigame mode for this game, taking place on and around an island. In addition to being able to play any unlocked minigame at any time, there are multiple side modes that focus on playing minigames. | |||
===Motion Island=== | |||
Motion Island features three motion-controlled modes where players work together.<ref name=NintendoLifeReview>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT_vmJEKdkw</ref> | |||

====Paratroopa Flight School==== | |||
Paratroopa Flight School is a motion-controlled mode where players must flap their arms like wings to control Mario or Luigi, [[Pata Mario|who is wearing Koopa Paratroopa wings]]. There are three different modes to play: Sky Battle, Koopa Paratroopa Taxi, and Free Flight. In Sky Battle, two players compete to try to gather as many [[Para-Biddybud]]s as possible within a time limit. Players can sneak from behind to steal Para-Biddybuds from each other. In Koopa Paratroopa Taxi, two players must cooperate to carry a third character to a certain location on the map. Free Flight acts as a free play mode where players are allowed to fly around the map without any objectives and no time limit. The game temporarily changes player 1's character into Mario and player 2's character into Luigi if they were not selected by P1 and P2; this even occurs if P1 selected Luigi and/or P2 selected Mario. | |||

There are 30 different levels to play that get increasingly harder, split into 10 areas. In single player mode, two Joy-Cons are used but in multiplayer, each player uses one Joy-Con. | |||

====Rhythm Kitchen==== | |||
Rhythm Kitchen is a rhythm-based mode similar to Sound Stage from ''Super Mario Party''. Like in that mode, players play various rhythm-based minigames back-to-back. All of the minigames in this mode are themed after cooking. Instead of competing for the highest score like in the aforementioned mode, the players must instead work together to get the highest rating from three [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] judges. | |||

===Bowser Challenges=== | |||
Bowser Challenges features two online modes focused on large amounts of players playing at once, both prominently featuring [[Impostor Bowser]]. These modes can also be played locally, but every player must use their own Nintendo Switch system. Players cannot play as Bowser in either sub-mode, despite the Koopathlon and Bowser Bob-omb Squad modes featuring Impostor Bowser and not the real Bowser as their main antagonist. | |||

====Koopathlon==== | |||
Returning from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' is the [[Coinathlon]] mode, now revamped into a new mode called Koopathlon. The core gameplay remains the same, players play single player minigames where they must collect coins to move ahead on the board in a race to finish a certain number of laps. Collecting coins fills up a meter that when filled, provides the player with an item they can use to either benefit themselves or hinder the player in front of them. Compared to the original mode, there are now 20 players racing at once, rather than only four. At the end of every third minigame, a 20-player Bowser-themed Survivathon minigame starts, where Impostor Bowser attacks all 20 players at once. If the player loses this minigame, they are set back 10-40 spaces depending on their current placement; however, if they win, they will be given an item. After the Survivathon minigame ends, the three minigames played before will level up and become more challenging, going from levels 1 through 3. Races can be either 3, 5, or 7 laps long. Whoever is able to finish the race first wins. | |||
While the real Bowser cannot be used in this game mode, it is still possible for players to play the Koopathlon minigames as him in the Minigame Bay. | |||

====Bowser Kaboom Squad==== | |||
{{Main|Bowser Kaboom Squad}} | |||
Bowser Kaboom Squad is a co-op mode where 8 players are pitted against Impostor Bowser on a city-themed map. In order to fight against Impostor Bowser, players must grab bombs and throw them into cannons found across the map. These bombs are contained in crates that must be broken by attacking them. Once 20 bombs are placed into a cannon, the cannon will fire at Impostor Bowser, causing him to lose health. Impostor Bowser will attack the players as they attempt to stop him. Being defeated by him will cause the player to get trapped in a [[Bubble]]. Another player must pop the bubble to revive them. After a certain amount of time, an 8-player co-op minigame is played, similar to the co-op minigames from ''Super Mario Party''. Winning the minigame will reward the team with items that can be used to help defeat Impostor Bowser. Afterwards, another round starts and the cycle continues for 5 rounds. Coins will appear as well. Once 100 are collected, Bonus Time is triggered wherein all bombs become gold and an infinite amount can be put into cannons. Once Bonus Time ends, the golden bombs will be shot at Impostor Bowser, dealing 2x damage. Once Impostor Bowser's health is depleted, a Star appears, which is then used by the players to become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] and defeat Impostor Bowser in one final stretch where the players must mash to attack Impostor Bowser as he attempts to fight back. | |||

===Party-Planner Trek=== | |||
In this single-player mode, the player freely travels around the new boards as a single character, talking to NPCs, collecting items, and fulfilling requests for them to gain [[Mini Star]]s. When completing an NPC's request by submitting an item, the player is rewarded with one Mini Star. Some NPCs offer the player a minigame challenge, rewarding up to three Mini Stars based on the player's standings (placing first, second, or third). Alternatively, for a duel minigame, the player must win the minigame to earn two Mini Stars at once. Clearing an item minigame earns one Mini Star. Once the player collects at least 30 Mini Stars, the yellow Toad will give them a souvenir and direct them to the next map, though before he does so, the sky suddenly turns dark. When this happens, a vortex with the board's boss opens up and sucks the Mini Stars in, forcing the player to defeat the boss to win them back. Any playable character that the player has completed a request for or whose Showdown minigame has been completed can join them in the boss battle. This is the first ''Mario Party'' game since ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' to feature Mini Stars as collectibles, and the way they are obtained from minigames is similar to the [[Mario_Party:_The_Top_100#Minigame_Island|Minigame Island]] mode from said game. | |||

''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' features 22 playable characters, the largest number out of any game in the ''Mario Party'' series. In addition to the return of all characters from ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' and most from ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' (excluding [[Diddy Kong]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Dry Bones]], and [[Pom Pom]]), this game marks the first playable appearance in the series of [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] since ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' and [[Spike]] since ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. In addition, [[Ninji]] and [[Pauline]] make their debut as playable characters in the series, with Pauline also making her overall ''Mario Party'' debut. Every character also now has their own unique "turn start" jingle. | |||
Only Mario and Luigi are playable in Paratroopa Flight School, and Bowser cannot be played as in either the Koopathlon or Bowser's Kaboom Squad modes, despite Impostor Bowser being established. | |||

If the player zooms in on them, they can press the A button, prompting Yellow Toad to invite them to join the party. Pauline is found on an island to the left of Minigame Bay while Ninji is on a hill next to Motion Island. | |||
====Jamboree Buddies==== | |||
10 of the 22 playable characters also appear as [[Jamboree Buddy|Jamboree Buddies]], appearing somewhere on the board. By running into a Jamboree Buddy, a Showdown minigame is initiated to recruit them into the winner's team, with the player who initiated the minigame starting with a slight advantage. Tied players will enter a "Tie-Break Dice" event where the Jamboree Buddy goes to the player that rolls the higher number. | |||
Each Jamboree Buddy has a unique ability during board gameplay to help their owner. Additionally, all of them cause board actions to happen twice, such as gaining or losing coins, buying items or Stars, and even Boos and Bowser Spaces. When obtained, the Jamboree Buddy lasts for three turns. Other players may also steal the buddy by passing by the player who currently owns them. If no player reaches the Jamboree Buddy within three turns, they will be removed from the board. Rosalina will not appear as a Jamboree Buddy if minigames with motion controls are turned off due to her Showdown minigame having motion controls. In Free Play, Showdown Minigame Battle and Party-Planner Trek, characters can encounter and recruit a monochrome version of themselves as a Jamboree Buddy (where applicable). | |||

====Bosses==== | |||
Boss battles return for the first time since ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', though there are considerably fewer than in previous games, with only five, one for each new board in the game. In Mario Party mode, bosses can be fought if a player lands on a VS. Space and the roulette chooses their minigame. In Party-Planner Trek, a boss is fought once the player collects 30 Mini Stars, the player will team up with allies they have recruited to defeat the boss within a time limit. If the player does not recruit any allies, they can fight the boss on their own, similar to the bosses in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. | |||

{{main|List of Super Mario Party Jamboree minigames}} | {{main|List of Super Mario Party Jamboree minigames}} | ||
''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' has 112 minigames, the highest amount of minigames in a ''Mario Party'' title to date. Most of the minigames are brand-new, while a few return from past ''Mario Party'' games, which, when including the minigames in [[Mario's Three-peat]], consists of one minigame from ''Mario Party 2'', two minigames from ''Mario Party 5'', three minigames from ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 6'', and four minigames from ''Mario Party 4''. Apart from the ones in Mario's Three-peat, none of the returning minigames appeared in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', though some return from ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. | |||
In addition to the usual minigame categories, Rhythm minigames return from ''Super Mario Party'', all of which are now cooking themed and now have players working together, and 4-player Boss Battle minigames return for the first time since ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', along with the Coin Chaos and Bowser's Gauntlet minigames from that game returning as the Koopathlon and Survivathon minigames, respectively. Two new categories of minigames are introduced, those being Kaboom-Squad minigames, which are similar to the Co-op minigames from ''Super Mario Party'', but with eight characters instead of four, and Showdown minigames, which are lengthier minigames where players compete in a series of challenges in order to gain a Jamboree Buddy. Boss minigames must be unlocked by fighting the boss in either Mario Party or Party-Planner Trek. | |||
Motion-controlled minigames return from ''Super Mario Party'', and require a single [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] to play. However, button-controlled minigames can still be played using a [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]] or while using a [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Lite|Nintendo Switch Lite]]. | |||
=== | ==Changes to returning features== | ||
===Boards=== | |||
*In [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]]: | |||
*[[ | **Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser replace Toad and Bowser in the tower. | ||
* | **The number of spaces has been reduced by two. | ||
* | **As with the original ''Mario Party'' boards in ''Superstars'', items can now be used, and there is an item shop in the early part of the board that switches management between Red Koopa Troopa and Kamek when passed by or when Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser are swapped by an Event Space. | ||
* | ***An exclusive item called the Tower Turner can be obtained from the item shop, which has a chance to swap Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser. | ||
* | **The sky now turns dark when Impostor Bowser is in the tower, with the music changing to an electric guitar remix of the song. | ||
*[[ | **The price of [[Ztar]]s has been cut in half, and they are now made of cardboard. Also, Impostor Bowser will take all the coins and give players' Ztar(s) when they do not have enough coins, while in Mario Party, [[Bowser]] just takes all the player's coins and not give them the [[Ztar]]. | ||
**The [[Fwoosh]] has been replaced by [[Lakitu's Cloud]], which will now only drop the player when they encounter Impostor Bowser. When they encounter Yellow Toad, it will gently give them a ride back to start. | |||
**[[Koopa Troopa]] is no longer at the start of the board. | |||
*[[ | *In [[Western Land]]: | ||
*A | **As with the ''Mario Party 2'' boards in ''Superstars'', [[Koopa Kid]] is completely absent. | ||
**The number of spaces has been reduced by ten. | |||
**[[Koopa Bank]]s are absent. | |||
**The Item Shop in the middle of the board has been moved to before the junction, and another run by Kamek has been added near the first train station. | |||
**Some more junctions have been added, and the one on the right has been flipped around. | |||
**Riding Steamer costs 3 coins instead of 5, however players can now choose to make 2 stops for 6 coins instead, taking them across two stations instead of only one. | |||
***A new item called the Steamer Ticket can be purchased at a ticket shop and can be used to call Steamer at any station. | |||
**Wiggler's hootenannies are now triggered by Event Spaces near the milk shop, and when activated, a cutscene will play showing everyone chatting while having some milk. Players can also choose whether they want to call on one player for ten coins, or everyone for twenty. | |||
**A new passing space has been added to the right of Wiggler's milk saloon where players can obtain a new item called the Steamer Ticket for 5 coins, which can be used when at an empty train station to call Steamer to it. The price of the item increases as more players buy it. | |||
*On both boards: | |||
**Certain Blue Spaces have been replaced by other kinds of spaces. | |||
=== | ===Minigames=== | ||
* | *Within [[Mario's Three-peat]]: | ||
* | **In [[Leaf Leap]], players no longer travel into space as they climb, as the ending of the minigame transitions to Bumper Balls. | ||
* | **[[Bumper Balls]] now takes place in the sky instead of an environment from previous versions, to match the transition between minigames. | ||
* | **In [[Shy Guy Says]], which is based on the ''Mario Party 2'' version, the Shy Guy is colored yellow instead of red, the Lakitu is missing, and the minigame takes place at night instead of day. | ||
*In [[Treasure Divers]]: | |||
**There are now eight chests to collect as opposed to ten. | |||
**How much air the players have left is now shown in a meter similar to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', rather than a countdown. | |||
*[[Platform Peril]] has been reworked into a coin-collecting minigame, and the platforms are slightly larger. | |||
*In [[Domination]], the intro now shows the Whomps in front before going underground, instead of the camera going in a straight line to the players from behind. There is also no Whomp with a flag carrying the winner at the end. | |||
*In [[Blame It on the Crane]], the Shy Guys return after being replaced by Koopa Troopas in ''The Top 100'', but like the Shy Guy in Shy Guy Says, are colored yellow instead of red. The crane is now able to be moved slightly by the solo player. | |||
*[[Defuse or Lose]] is now set during sunset and has a more detailed background, featuring ruins and mountains. | |||
*In [[Snow Brawl]] and [[Jump the Gun]], just like with the other ''Mario Party 6'' minigames in ''The Top 100'', only the day variant is present. | |||
*In [[Granite Getaway]], the boulder now immediately rolls towards the players instead of falling down in the intro, the bridge is now outdoors, and the boulder is stopped by a gateway instead of a pit. | |||

<blockquote>'''''Join a jamboree jam-packed with more minigames than any Mario Party™ game to date!''''' | |||
''Gather your friends, pick a board, and have a Mario party. Choose your character, roll some dice, and compete in an assortment of minigames to see who can get the most stars. From running through merry-go-rounds to motion-control minigolf, there are seven boards and over 110 minigames to play!'' | |||
''Go with the flow in Goomba Lagoon, search the mall for stars in Rainbow Galleria, or revisit the classics of Western Land and Mario's Rainbow Castle. With 22 playable characters, including newcomers Pauline and Ninji, there's something for every kind of partygoer!'' | |||
''Take the fun online in Koopathlon and Bowser Kaboom Squad'' | |||
''Race across the party board in Koopathlon, a series-first 20-player online competition to see who can rack up the highest scores in minigames like the fast-paced Lane Change. The higher your score in each round, the faster you'll get to the goal. If cooperative play is more your style, take on an Impostor Bowser in the 8-player online Bowser Kaboom Squad mode. You can also play the standard Mario Party mode with friends, family, and others online!'' | |||
''Party online on us— 3-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership is included!'' | |||
''You'll need an Internet connection and a Nintendo Switch Online membership to play in online modes, but don't worry if you're not a current Nintendo Switch Online member. If you pre-order or purchase the game prior to March 31, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PT , you'll receive a Nintendo eShop code for a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership (not valid with Nintendo Switch Online Family or Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack memberships )! The code, which never expires, will come either in a packed-in pamphlet (while supplies last) if you purchased the physical version, or by email if you purchased digitally.''</blockquote> | |||
==Reception== | |||
===Critical reception=== | |||
'' | On release, ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' received largely positive reviews from critics, becoming the highest scoring entry in the series on {{Wp|Metacritic}} since the [[Mario Party|original]]. The game received significant praise for its selection of boards, with many reviews highlighting improvements in mechanical complexity from previous entries, with some referring to the game as a return to form for the ''Mario Party'' series. Many also praised the additions to the traditional Mario Party mode, such as Jamboree Buddies and Pro Rules. Opinions on the other new modes, such as the Koopathalon and Paratroopa Flight School were more mixed, with multiple critics considering them to have little replay value. | ||

|9/10 | |||
|align="left"|"''Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing followup to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar.''" | |||

|align="left"|"''Super Mario Party Jamboree is a fantastic new entry in the franchise that focuses on improving the core mechanics and experience, making for a more involving board game in the process, whilst also polishing everything to a slick sheen. Online aspects and modern stuff like the game's battle pass and collectibles are woven in smoothly, and the various new modes all have their place in a package that also delivers the goods in terms of minigame quality. Jamboree is the best Mario Party to date, so best make sure you've got your invite sorted.'''" | |||

|4/5 | |||
|align="left"|"''Jamboree is one of the best Mario Party games to date, due to the sheer number of modes available and their general high quality. It still hasn't managed to shake some of the core issues of the series (especially when it comes to balancing the game for younger and less experienced players) but judged against previous entries it stands out as a top offering. It’s a fitting third and final Mario Party on Switch – following the Joy-Con heavy gameplay of Super Mario Party and the old-school focus of Mario Party Superstars, this hits that Goldilocks spot by delivering the best aspects from both.''" | |||

|8/10 | |||
|align="left"|"''Super Mario Party Jamboree, like any other great Mario Party, isn’t some big departure from what was first established in 1998. There are some good times to be had in the new modes, but they serve more as a fun distraction from what these games do well. For a package as jam-packed with fun ideas and content, Jamboree is easily one of the most entertaining multiplayer games you can own on the Switch today.''" | |||

|Emily Serwadczak, [https://twinfinite.net/reviews/super-mario-party-jamboree-review/ Twinfinite] | |||

|align="left"|"''Overall, Super Mario Party Jamboree has a lot to offer in terms of new ideas and replacing those disliked in the previous Mario Party game with updated sharp graphics. Nintendo appears to have taken on board what fans liked from Superstars and merged the gameplay for those who like an even playing field, while still finding new and creative ways to engage its players and keep them busy. There is certainly still a lot to discover!''" | |||

|6/10 | |||
|align="left"|"''Many new elements are attempted in Super Mario Party Jamboree, and unfortunately I feel like a lot of them are unwelcome. The new modes are largely duds, the tantalizing promise of 20-player online falls a bit flat, and several of the new minigames are a slog. That said, the new maps are the best original ones in many years. Once you grab a few close friends and you're laughing with it over a few beers, the deeply flawed game turns into a raucous night of camaraderie and laughter. Jamboree is no more or less nonsense than any Mario Party, and it's one I'll still be playing a ton of despite its flaws.''" | |||

Super Mario Party Jamboree is a game in the Mario Party series released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on October 17, 2024. First announced during the Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024, it is the eighteenth (twenty-sixth, including arcade games) installment in the Mario Party series, the thirteenth released on a home console, and the third released for the Nintendo Switch. Serving as a successor to Super Mario Party, albeit with gameplay mostly modelled after Mario Party Superstars, the game features both new and returning boards, in addition to over 110 minigames, and an expansive roster of 22 playable characters, including newcomers Ninji and Pauline.[7] It marks the debut of Kevin Afghani as the voice of Waluigi, as well as being the first game in the Mario Party series to feature him as the voice of Mario, Luigi, and Wario.
A playable demo of the game was available at the Nintendo booth during PAX West 2024 prior to its release, from August 30 to September 2, 2024.[8] A second demo was made available to play in-stores from October 4, 2024.[9]
Game modes
Mario Party
Like with its predecessor, Super Mario Party Jamboree features the traditional Mario Party gameplay as the main mode of the game; players traverse a game board to collect coins in order to purchase Stars. The gameplay is overall more similar to Mario Party Superstars than Super Mario Party, sharing many of the same rules and mechanics, such as the dice rolling between one and ten and the occurrence of Bonus Minigames, where the coins won are doubled. Various new mechanics are introduced, such as Jamboree Buddies, a revamped version of the ally mechanic from Super Mario Party.
In online games with random players, each player's turn has a 30-second time limit.
Pro Rules
Additionally, either Party Rules or Pro Rules can be selected for a game. With Pro Rules on, some mechanics of the game will be adjusted, aiming to create a more competitive game, which includes removing Hidden Blocks and locking Boo's coin steal to 15 coins.
Pro Rules use a locked ruleset, with the only option that the player can have before starting a game is the ability to turn off mini-games help (unavailable in matchmaking) and motion-controlled minigames. The ruleset includes the game lasting for 12 turns only, one Bonus Star that is announced at the start of the game, and minigame selection being set to vote. The only three Bonus Stars that can be revealed are the Happening Star, Slowpoke Star, and Sightseer Star.
Before starting a game, a player can choose one of the following items with which to start the game.
1 - Available only on boards with Skeleton Key gates.
2 - Unavailable on Mario's Rainbow Castle due to the fixed Star position.
Other changes include:
- Lucky Spaces only giving a choice of either a Double Dice or 10 coins, with players having a chance to select what they want instead of a random roulette.
- Unlucky Spaces always giving 7 coins to the last-place player.
- Chance Time Spaces not appearing, instead being changed to a different space.
- Bowser Spaces always taking away a Star.
- If the player does not have a star, Impostor Bowser will take away half of their coins instead.
- The stock of items in an Item Shop now being limited to two and not restocking once all items have been purchased.
- Item minigames not appearing; when landing on an Item Space, the player will immediately be given whichever item the roulette stops on after they hit the box.
- The spaces for where a Star can spawn being visible on the map, marked by a Star Stop Sign.
- When a player purchases a Star, the Star Stop Sign will be removed from the map and a Star will no longer appear at a particular space until all Star Spaces have been used, at which point all Star Spaces will become eligible to host a Star and the cycle repeats, similarly to how the Star Spaces work in Mario Party 3.
- Homestretch no longer having a special event.
- The other events of Homestretch such as the Blue and Red Space increasing in amount earned or lost, respectively, and the duel that occurs when two players land on the same space remain unchanged.
- Players being able to wager a Star during a Duel if both players have one without the requirement of the Super Dueling Glove.

Minigame Bay
- Main article: Minigame Bay
Minigame Bay is the main minigame mode for this game, taking place on and around an island. In addition to being able to play any unlocked minigame at any time, there are multiple side modes that focus on playing minigames.
Motion Island
Motion Island features three motion-controlled modes where players work together.[10]

Paratroopa Flight School
Paratroopa Flight School is a motion-controlled mode where players must flap their arms like wings to control Mario or Luigi, who is wearing Koopa Paratroopa wings. There are three different modes to play: Sky Battle, Koopa Paratroopa Taxi, and Free Flight. In Sky Battle, two players compete to try to gather as many Para-Biddybuds as possible within a time limit. Players can sneak from behind to steal Para-Biddybuds from each other. In Koopa Paratroopa Taxi, two players must cooperate to carry a third character to a certain location on the map. Free Flight acts as a free play mode where players are allowed to fly around the map without any objectives and no time limit. The game temporarily changes player 1's character into Mario and player 2's character into Luigi if they were not selected by P1 and P2; this even occurs if P1 selected Luigi and/or P2 selected Mario.

Toad's Item Factory
In Toad's Item Factory, up to four players work together to solve various puzzles to guide a ball across obstacles by moving the Joy-Con in various ways in order to reach the end. There are 30 different levels to play that get increasingly harder, split into 10 areas. In single player mode, two Joy-Cons are used but in multiplayer, each player uses one Joy-Con.

Rhythm Kitchen
Rhythm Kitchen is a rhythm-based mode similar to Sound Stage from Super Mario Party. Like in that mode, players play various rhythm-based minigames back-to-back. All of the minigames in this mode are themed after cooking. Instead of competing for the highest score like in the aforementioned mode, the players must instead work together to get the highest rating from three Yoshi judges.

Bowser Challenges
Bowser Challenges features two online modes focused on large amounts of players playing at once, both prominently featuring Impostor Bowser. These modes can also be played locally, but every player must use their own Nintendo Switch system. Players cannot play as Bowser in either sub-mode, despite the Koopathlon and Bowser Bob-omb Squad modes featuring Impostor Bowser and not the real Bowser as their main antagonist.

Koopathlon
Returning from Mario Party: Star Rush is the Coinathlon mode, now revamped into a new mode called Koopathlon. The core gameplay remains the same, players play single player minigames where they must collect coins to move ahead on the board in a race to finish a certain number of laps. Collecting coins fills up a meter that when filled, provides the player with an item they can use to either benefit themselves or hinder the player in front of them. Compared to the original mode, there are now 20 players racing at once, rather than only four. At the end of every third minigame, a 20-player Bowser-themed Survivathon minigame starts, where Impostor Bowser attacks all 20 players at once. If the player loses this minigame, they are set back 10-40 spaces depending on their current placement; however, if they win, they will be given an item. After the Survivathon minigame ends, the three minigames played before will level up and become more challenging, going from levels 1 through 3. Races can be either 3, 5, or 7 laps long. Whoever is able to finish the race first wins.
While the real Bowser cannot be used in this game mode, it is still possible for players to play the Koopathlon minigames as him in the Minigame Bay.

Bowser Kaboom Squad
- Main article: Bowser Kaboom Squad
Bowser Kaboom Squad is a co-op mode where 8 players are pitted against Impostor Bowser on a city-themed map. In order to fight against Impostor Bowser, players must grab bombs and throw them into cannons found across the map. These bombs are contained in crates that must be broken by attacking them. Once 20 bombs are placed into a cannon, the cannon will fire at Impostor Bowser, causing him to lose health. Impostor Bowser will attack the players as they attempt to stop him. Being defeated by him will cause the player to get trapped in a Bubble. Another player must pop the bubble to revive them. After a certain amount of time, an 8-player co-op minigame is played, similar to the co-op minigames from Super Mario Party. Winning the minigame will reward the team with items that can be used to help defeat Impostor Bowser. Afterwards, another round starts and the cycle continues for 5 rounds. Coins will appear as well. Once 100 are collected, Bonus Time is triggered wherein all bombs become gold and an infinite amount can be put into cannons. Once Bonus Time ends, the golden bombs will be shot at Impostor Bowser, dealing 2x damage. Once Impostor Bowser's health is depleted, a Star appears, which is then used by the players to become invincible and defeat Impostor Bowser in one final stretch where the players must mash to attack Impostor Bowser as he attempts to fight back.

Party-Planner Trek
In this single-player mode, the player freely travels around the new boards as a single character, talking to NPCs, collecting items, and fulfilling requests for them to gain Mini Stars. When completing an NPC's request by submitting an item, the player is rewarded with one Mini Star. Some NPCs offer the player a minigame challenge, rewarding up to three Mini Stars based on the player's standings (placing first, second, or third). Alternatively, for a duel minigame, the player must win the minigame to earn two Mini Stars at once. Clearing an item minigame earns one Mini Star. Once the player collects at least 30 Mini Stars, the yellow Toad will give them a souvenir and direct them to the next map, though before he does so, the sky suddenly turns dark. When this happens, a vortex with the board's boss opens up and sucks the Mini Stars in, forcing the player to defeat the boss to win them back. Any playable character that the player has completed a request for or whose Showdown minigame has been completed can join them in the boss battle. This is the first Mario Party game since Mario Party: The Top 100 to feature Mini Stars as collectibles, and the way they are obtained from minigames is similar to the Minigame Island mode from said game.

Characters
Playable
Super Mario Party Jamboree features 22 playable characters, the largest number out of any game in the Mario Party series. In addition to the return of all characters from Mario Party Superstars and most from Super Mario Party (excluding Diddy Kong, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, and Pom Pom), this game marks the first playable appearance in the series of Toad and Toadette since Mario Party: Star Rush and Spike since Mario Party 10. In addition, Ninji and Pauline make their debut as playable characters in the series, with Pauline also making her overall Mario Party debut. Every character also now has their own unique "turn start" jingle.
Only Mario and Luigi are playable in Paratroopa Flight School, and Bowser cannot be played as in either the Koopathlon or Bowser's Kaboom Squad modes, despite Impostor Bowser being established.
To unlock Pauline and Ninji, while viewing the game modes through binoculars in the Balloon, the player character can find both these characters in the background scenery. If the player zooms in on them, they can press the A button, prompting Yellow Toad to invite them to join the party. Pauline is found on an island to the left of Minigame Bay while Ninji is on a hill next to Motion Island.
Jamboree Buddies
10 of the 22 playable characters also appear as Jamboree Buddies, appearing somewhere on the board. By running into a Jamboree Buddy, a Showdown minigame is initiated to recruit them into the winner's team, with the player who initiated the minigame starting with a slight advantage. Tied players will enter a "Tie-Break Dice" event where the Jamboree Buddy goes to the player that rolls the higher number.
Each Jamboree Buddy has a unique ability during board gameplay to help their owner. Additionally, all of them cause board actions to happen twice, such as gaining or losing coins, buying items or Stars, and even Boos and Bowser Spaces. When obtained, the Jamboree Buddy lasts for three turns. Other players may also steal the buddy by passing by the player who currently owns them. If no player reaches the Jamboree Buddy within three turns, they will be removed from the board. Rosalina will not appear as a Jamboree Buddy if minigames with motion controls are turned off due to her Showdown minigame having motion controls. In Free Play, Showdown Minigame Battle and Party-Planner Trek, characters can encounter and recruit a monochrome version of themselves as a Jamboree Buddy (where applicable).

Bosses
Boss battles return for the first time since Mario Party: Star Rush, though there are considerably fewer than in previous games, with only five, one for each new board in the game. In Mario Party mode, bosses can be fought if a player lands on a VS. Space and the roulette chooses their minigame. In Party-Planner Trek, a boss is fought once the player collects 30 Mini Stars, the player will team up with allies they have recruited to defeat the boss within a time limit. If the player does not recruit any allies, they can fight the boss on their own, similar to the bosses in Mario Party DS and Mario Party: Island Tour.

Minigames
- Main article: List of Super Mario Party Jamboree minigames
Super Mario Party Jamboree has 112 minigames, the highest amount of minigames in a Mario Party title to date. Most of the minigames are brand-new, while a few return from past Mario Party games, which, when including the minigames in Mario's Three-peat, consists of one minigame from Mario Party 2, two minigames from Mario Party 5, three minigames from Mario Party and Mario Party 6, and four minigames from Mario Party 4. Apart from the ones in Mario's Three-peat, none of the returning minigames appeared in Mario Party Superstars, though some return from Mario Party: The Top 100.
In addition to the usual minigame categories, Rhythm minigames return from Super Mario Party, all of which are now cooking themed and now have players working together, and 4-player Boss Battle minigames return for the first time since Mario Party: Star Rush, along with the Coin Chaos and Bowser's Gauntlet minigames from that game returning as the Koopathlon and Survivathon minigames, respectively. Two new categories of minigames are introduced, those being Kaboom-Squad minigames, which are similar to the Co-op minigames from Super Mario Party, but with eight characters instead of four, and Showdown minigames, which are lengthier minigames where players compete in a series of challenges in order to gain a Jamboree Buddy. Boss minigames must be unlocked by fighting the boss in either Mario Party or Party-Planner Trek.
Motion-controlled minigames return from Super Mario Party, and require a single Joy-Con to play. However, button-controlled minigames can still be played using a Pro Controller or while using a Nintendo Switch Lite.
Changes to returning features
Boards
- In Mario's Rainbow Castle:
- Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser replace Toad and Bowser in the tower.
- The number of spaces has been reduced by two.
- As with the original Mario Party boards in Superstars, items can now be used, and there is an item shop in the early part of the board that switches management between Red Koopa Troopa and Kamek when passed by or when Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser are swapped by an Event Space.
- An exclusive item called the Tower Turner can be obtained from the item shop, which has a chance to swap Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser.
- The sky now turns dark when Impostor Bowser is in the tower, with the music changing to an electric guitar remix of the song.
- The price of Ztars has been cut in half, and they are now made of cardboard. Also, Impostor Bowser will take all the coins and give players' Ztar(s) when they do not have enough coins, while in Mario Party, Bowser just takes all the player's coins and not give them the Ztar.
- The Fwoosh has been replaced by Lakitu's Cloud, which will now only drop the player when they encounter Impostor Bowser. When they encounter Yellow Toad, it will gently give them a ride back to start.
- Koopa Troopa is no longer at the start of the board.
- In Western Land:
- As with the Mario Party 2 boards in Superstars, Koopa Kid is completely absent.
- The number of spaces has been reduced by ten.
- Koopa Banks are absent.
- The Item Shop in the middle of the board has been moved to before the junction, and another run by Kamek has been added near the first train station.
- Some more junctions have been added, and the one on the right has been flipped around.
- Riding Steamer costs 3 coins instead of 5, however players can now choose to make 2 stops for 6 coins instead, taking them across two stations instead of only one.
- A new item called the Steamer Ticket can be purchased at a ticket shop and can be used to call Steamer at any station.
- Wiggler's hootenannies are now triggered by Event Spaces near the milk shop, and when activated, a cutscene will play showing everyone chatting while having some milk. Players can also choose whether they want to call on one player for ten coins, or everyone for twenty.
- A new passing space has been added to the right of Wiggler's milk saloon where players can obtain a new item called the Steamer Ticket for 5 coins, which can be used when at an empty train station to call Steamer to it. The price of the item increases as more players buy it.
- On both boards:
- Certain Blue Spaces have been replaced by other kinds of spaces.
Minigames
- Within Mario's Three-peat:
- In Leaf Leap, players no longer travel into space as they climb, as the ending of the minigame transitions to Bumper Balls.
- Bumper Balls now takes place in the sky instead of an environment from previous versions, to match the transition between minigames.
- In Shy Guy Says, which is based on the Mario Party 2 version, the Shy Guy is colored yellow instead of red, the Lakitu is missing, and the minigame takes place at night instead of day.
- In Treasure Divers:
- There are now eight chests to collect as opposed to ten.
- How much air the players have left is now shown in a meter similar to Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey, rather than a countdown.
- Platform Peril has been reworked into a coin-collecting minigame, and the platforms are slightly larger.
- In Domination, the intro now shows the Whomps in front before going underground, instead of the camera going in a straight line to the players from behind. There is also no Whomp with a flag carrying the winner at the end.
- In Blame It on the Crane, the Shy Guys return after being replaced by Koopa Troopas in The Top 100, but like the Shy Guy in Shy Guy Says, are colored yellow instead of red. The crane is now able to be moved slightly by the solo player.
- Defuse or Lose is now set during sunset and has a more detailed background, featuring ruins and mountains.
- In Snow Brawl and Jump the Gun, just like with the other Mario Party 6 minigames in The Top 100, only the day variant is present.
- In Granite Getaway, the boulder now immediately rolls towards the players instead of falling down in the intro, the bridge is now outdoors, and the boulder is stopped by a gateway instead of a pit.

Reception
Critical reception
On release, Super Mario Party Jamboree received largely positive reviews from critics, becoming the highest scoring entry in the series on Metacritic since the original. The game received significant praise for its selection of boards, with many reviews highlighting improvements in mechanical complexity from previous entries, with some referring to the game as a return to form for the Mario Party series. Many also praised the additions to the traditional Mario Party mode, such as Jamboree Buddies and Pro Rules. Opinions on the other new modes, such as the Koopathalon and Paratroopa Flight School were more mixed, with multiple critics considering them to have little replay value.
Reviews | |||
---|---|---|---|
Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
Nintendo Switch | Logan Plant, IGN | 9/10 | "Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing followup to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar." |
Nintendo Switch | PJ O'Reilly, Nintendo Life | 9/10 | "Super Mario Party Jamboree is a fantastic new entry in the franchise that focuses on improving the core mechanics and experience, making for a more involving board game in the process, whilst also polishing everything to a slick sheen. Online aspects and modern stuff like the game's battle pass and collectibles are woven in smoothly, and the various new modes all have their place in a package that also delivers the goods in terms of minigame quality. Jamboree is the best Mario Party to date, so best make sure you've got your invite sorted.'" |
Nintendo Switch | Chris Scullion, VGC | 4/5 | "Jamboree is one of the best Mario Party games to date, due to the sheer number of modes available and their general high quality. It still hasn't managed to shake some of the core issues of the series (especially when it comes to balancing the game for younger and less experienced players) but judged against previous entries it stands out as a top offering. It’s a fitting third and final Mario Party on Switch – following the Joy-Con heavy gameplay of Super Mario Party and the old-school focus of Mario Party Superstars, this hits that Goldilocks spot by delivering the best aspects from both." |
Nintendo Switch | Trone Dowd, Inverse | 8/10 | "Super Mario Party Jamboree, like any other great Mario Party, isn’t some big departure from what was first established in 1998. There are some good times to be had in the new modes, but they serve more as a fun distraction from what these games do well. For a package as jam-packed with fun ideas and content, Jamboree is easily one of the most entertaining multiplayer games you can own on the Switch today." |
Nintendo Switch | Emily Serwadczak, Twinfinite | 7/10 | "Overall, Super Mario Party Jamboree has a lot to offer in terms of new ideas and replacing those disliked in the previous Mario Party game with updated sharp graphics. Nintendo appears to have taken on board what fans liked from Superstars and merged the gameplay for those who like an even playing field, while still finding new and creative ways to engage its players and keep them busy. There is certainly still a lot to discover!" |
Nintendo Switch | Dan Ryckert, GameSpot | 6/10 | "Many new elements are attempted in Super Mario Party Jamboree, and unfortunately I feel like a lot of them are unwelcome. The new modes are largely duds, the tantalizing promise of 20-player online falls a bit flat, and several of the new minigames are a slog. That said, the new maps are the best original ones in many years. Once you grab a few close friends and you're laughing with it over a few beers, the deeply flawed game turns into a raucous night of camaraderie and laughter. Jamboree is no more or less nonsense than any Mario Party, and it's one I'll still be playing a ton of despite its flaws." |
