Tom's Guide: 4 / 5 by Millie Davis-Williams
Super Mario Party Jamboree sticks to the series' winning formula and provides a ton of fun mini-games and boards. It's truly a super experience whether you're playing with friends or going up against the best online. However, the lack of fresh ideas may disappoint longtime Mario Party players.
TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Stefan L
In the pantheon of Mario Party games, Super Mario Party Jamboree is the best new game in a long, long time. After getting back to basics with Superstars, Jamboree sticks with the more traditional Mario Party formula in all the right ways, while still finding space to mix things up a little with new items, a blend of motion and button control minigames, Pro Rules, and some larger online modes and experiments. This is practically essential for Mario Party fans.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Jacob Bukacek
Super Mario Party Jamboree is something of a mixed experience. Its main mode, while offering a truly solid selection of fun minigames and interesting boards, suffers from a frustratingly slow rate of play. Unless it's addressed in a future update, most players are probably going to eventually get tired of everything taking longer than it should. Most of the side modes are “take it or leave it” affairs as well, but Koopathlon, Toad’s Item Factory and especially Bowser’s Kaboom Squad are together good enough to make up for that. Fans with friends to play it with will feel satisfied with Super Mario Party Jamboree, but those who don’t probably need not rush to pick this one up.
Super Mario Party Jamboree Description
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the thirteenth main part of the series of social arcade games, launched in 1998. The game was developed by Nintendo's NDcube studio, which has delivered a number of previous titles under this banner, and has also developed projects such as the genre-related Everybody 1-2-Switch! or Wii Party.
Gameplay
Super Mario Party Jamboree offers the largest selection in the series to date, with over 110 mini-games in which we compete with other players. Among them there's a wide range of puzzle games, dexterity challenges, and various races. Some mini-games are known from previous editions of the series, but there are also completely new ones.
The game takes place on various boards, such as Rainbow Galleria, Roll'em Raceway or Goomba Lagoon. In addition, Mario's Rainbow Castle from the first Mario Party returns here, as well as Western Land from Mario Party 2. The game gives us a wide range of characters at our disposal, led by Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Peach or even Bowser.
Game modes
Super Mario Party Jamboree was prepared mainly for multiplayer gameplay (locally or online), but the game also allows for solo play. Among the game modes, the so-called Koopathlon deserves special mention. It's a special online competition consisting of many disciplines in which over 20 participants fight for victory at the same time.
Graphics
The graphic design of Super Mario Party Jamboree is maintained in the cartoon style characteristic of the series.
