Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've always been a big fan of Mario Party, and other fans of the series will likely know that the series went through a dark era. Starting with Mario Party 9, the direction of the series changed for the worse. It took until 2018's Super Mario Party for the series to finally begin moving back in the right direction, though that game still had a lot of issues. 2021's Mario Party Superstars was a proper return to form, but it was still a collection of old boards and minigames. My hope was that NDCube would follow it up with a proper new title that takes after the foundation of Superstars, and I'm very happy to say that they did just that. Super Mario Party Jamboree is easily the best Mario Party entry since Mario Party DS all the way back in 2007, and it's a contender for being one of the best entries in the whole series. The game has 5 new boards and 2 classic ones, all of which feel distinct from each other and the news one feel very original. Unlike many previous entries, there aren't multiple boards that I don't care to play on. With the exception of the Goomba board, I really enjoyed all of the boards on offer. The core mechanics are largely ripped from Superstars, though there are some additions to help give the game a more unique identity. The minigames are largely great too and there are very few duds in the lineup, though some games feel like they belong in the classic battle game category that was first ditched in Superstars instead of being in the regular rotation as free for all minigames (Hot Cross Blocks goes on too long for this, same with the Key game). The biggest issue with the game is that if you decide to play without motion controls (which forces you to use JoyCons if enabled), the minigame selection will be one of the smallest in the series and you'll quickly get through all of them. The game has some fun sidemodes on offer as well. Koopathlon and Bowser's Kaboom Squad are fun online modes to play here and there, the Story mode is a cute, chill little adventure, and I can't speak on the rest since I haven't gotten to them yet. The game also has an achievement system that governs progression towards unlocking various things which I thought was neat. I could probably go on longer but this is already getting really wordy so I'll end by saying that I really loved this Mario Party game. If you're someone who was turned off by games in that dark age, rest assured knowing that Mario Party has finally moved on from that.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is an absolute blast from start to finish! The mini-games are creative, fast-paced, and perfect for players of all ages. It feels like Nintendo really stepped up the fun factor — the boards are colorful, the animations are lively, and the controls work flawlessly across the Switch, Switch Lite, and OLED models. Whether playing solo or with friends, every match feels fresh and exciting. It’s easy to pick up, laugh, and compete for hours. The new modes and online options make it even better for parties or quick games on the go. If you love classic Mario Party chaos mixed with modern polish, this is a must-have for any Nintendo fan!

Had so much fun with the mini games and boards. Probably the best Mario Party game on Switch!

The game is fun & the options for Pro Rules is a nice addition. There could be a few other things to make Pro Rules better. But, overall, the game is a blast- feelings will be hurt with the money hoarding and star stealing. Unlock Ninji & Pauline & get your partying started!

I bought Super Mario Party years ago, and that game was a huge disappointment, so when Jamboree came out, I was cautiously optimistic. This game is SO MUCH FUN. I can play it all day without getting bored. The online portion leaves a bit to be desired, because the game will sometimes fail to match you with any real people / will say it can't find the room you're searching for. Once you manage to get in, though, it's smooth sailing. The boards are fun, there's plenty of characters to choose from, and the inclusion of Pro Mode ups the ante if you want to put your skills to the test. I'm hoping Nintendo will patch this game or something to fix some of the technical issues or maybe add new content, but I'm happy with the game as-is for now.

I pre-ordered and the game was ready for in-store pickup on release day. The bag is being shipped and is due to arrive 8 days after release. Many of the mini-games are longer, I love the option to play as a pro. The graphics sure have come a long way and they made sure to keep the "Ha, you got Mario Partied!" element for those of us who are addicted to Mario Party. I haven't unlocked everything yet but my grown kids and I are having a great time discovering. Some of the boards allow many options for how to get to the star. Of course, there are a lot of new items, new shops and the ally steal is wild. We hoped to have team play options but haven't seen that yet, except in mini-games.

Super fun, love that they added new characters. Would definitely recommend

Fun family game! We love the Mario Party Games!! The mini games are a blast and funny at times!

This game is one the best of the Mario Party game entries in content, minigames, gameplay and fun, and I have played them all. Music is the only downside (it seems they cannot match N64 games catchy music anymore), but overall it is a hit, actually the best of the 3 Mario Party games released for Switch.

A great binding game overall. Fun for the whole family, regardless of age. Mini games are great, fun, and exciting, but some are a little long.

Such a great party game to have! Can even just jump into random mini games for quick fun

Best Mario party game in a loooooooong time. Took some things from super Mario party and made it much much better and more enjoyable.

Wow. What a great return for Mario Party. This new game has great boards, great rules to modify (including a "Pro" mode for those that think that bonus stars are BS) and a lot of great mini games. Some of the extra modes are OK, nothing more than an occasional diversion to try out but if you have young kids they will love them. One knock is that I do wish there were more mini games, but top to bottom this has been a great return to Mario Party after a few missteps the last few games.

Highly recommend. One of the best Mario Party's in a very good while. The variety of boards is great and something we haven't seen since the gamecube days, and a surplus of characters. Really enjoy the minigames as well, just so much to do.

The best Mario party in a while. Engaging minigames, great boards, and a wide cast of characters. It's been a blast

Fun game. Good upgrades made from the last one. Mini games are good.

Super fun game . Better than the other Mario party game .

I can say it's one of the best Mario Party games I've played. There are many different options to configure and modes to play. I liked the return of the 2 classic party boards. Minigames are exquisite. The vibe of the unexpectency that anything could happen is there. Love the tote bag it came with when I pre-ordered it and picked it up. Hopefully, it lasts.

This game is very captivating with its overall size and with its various game modes. I played the First Mario Party game on Nintendo Switch and I can confidently say that this new game is better. I would recommend this game to all who are interested in Mario Party.

I absolutely love this game! If you played Mario Party (the first one) you’re really going to enjoy this game! New mini games, a lot more things to do within the game, the graphics are outstanding and new characters! They out did themselves on this one! I thought the first one was fun, this is 10x better!
