Super Mario Party Jamboree Review: Is Nintendo’s Latest Party a Must-Have on Switch 2?

Released in October 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree has solidified its place as one of the best multiplayer experiences on Nintendo’s latest console, the Switch 2. IGN’s comprehensive review praises the game as a triumphant return for the series, delivering on the promise of a bigger, bolder Mario Party that surpasses its predecessors, including 2021’s Mario Party Superstars.

Jamboree introduces five completely new boards alongside two returning fan favorites, each packed with innovative mechanics that elevate the strategic depth. Highlights like Rainbow Galleria’s dynamic flash sales and Goomba Lagoon’s shifting water levels keep every game fresh and engaging. The game also boasts a remarkably deep item selection and the groundbreaking ‘Pro Rules’ mode, which caters to competitive players by minimizing luck-based events and introducing more tactical choices, such as player-voted minigame selections and pre-revealed Bonus Star categories.

With a robust roster of 22 playable characters and over 110 minigames (including unique Showdown Minigames that introduce ‘Jamboree Buddies’ for added strategic layers), the game offers immense variety. While the single-player side modes like Koopathlon and Bowser Kaboom Squad are mixed in quality and the Party Planning Trek story mode is largely forgettable, they don’t detract from the core Party mode’s excellence. Super Mario Party Jamboree’s flexible rulesets, engaging gameplay, and impressive board design make it an essential title for Switch 2 owners seeking a top-tier party game experience, despite its occasional lengthy match times.
