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) instalment 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.[8] 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.[9] A second demo was available to play in-stores from October 4, 2024.[10]

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 a revamped version of the ally mechanic from Super Mario Party. On certain turns, a Jamboree Buddy will appear on the board. This buddy can be one of a number of characters from the playable roster, each having their own special effect. On top of this, all of them share the effect of causing every board action to happen twice, such as gaining or losing coins, buying items or Stars, or even Boos and Bowser Spaces. In order to obtain the Jamboree Buddy, players must reach them on the board, which will start a Showdown Minigame, a unique minigame themed after the buddy. The player who reaches the buddy first will gain a slight advantage over the other players during the minigame. The winner of the minigame will receive the Jamboree Buddy. 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.[11] If no player reaches the Jamboree Buddy within 3 turns, they will be removed from the board. [12]Also, each player's turn has a 30-second time limit now, in order to prevent the situation of the game lasts too long.

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.[13] [14] These include:

  • The turn count being fixed to 12.
  • Having one Bonus Star that is announced at the start of the game.
    • The only Bonus Stars that can be chosen are the Sightseer Bonus, the Happening Bonus and the Slowpoke Bonus.
  • Players starting the game with one item of their choosing. The items a player can choose include the following:
  • Lucky Spaces only giving either a Double Dice or 10 coins.
  • 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.
  • The stock of items in an Item Shop now being limited to two and not restocking once all items have been purchased.
  • The spaces for where a Star can spawn being visible on the map, marked by a Star Stop Sign.
    • When a Star is purchased by a player, 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.
  • Boo's Coin Steal being locked to 15 coins and not being able to be driven away by the target player.
  • Hidden Blocks not appearing.
  • Players selecting one of three minigames at a time and the minigame then being randomly selected from the voted ones.
  • 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.

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.[15]

Paratroopa Flight School

Paratroopa Flight School is a motion-controlled mode where players must flap their arms like wings to control their character, 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.[16]

Toad's Item Factory

In Toad's Item Factory, 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.

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 is a mode featuring two online sub-modes focused on large amounts of players playing at once, both prominently featuring Impostor Bowser.[17] These modes can also be played locally, but every player must use their own Nintendo Switch system.[12] 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. 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 10-30 spaces depending on their current placement; however, if they win, they will be given an item. 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

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. 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 travels around boards as a single character talking to NPCs and fulfilling goals for them to gain Mini Stars. Some NPCs will give the player Mini Stars if they clear a minigame, rewarding two per minigame. 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. This is the first Mario Party game since Mario Party: The Top 100 to feature Mini Stars as collectables.

Super Mario Party Jamboree features 22 playable characters,[18] 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.[19]

Jamboree Buddies

10 of the 22 playable characters also appear as Jamboree Buddies.

Each Jamboree Buddy has their unique ability on the board, and doubles everything that happens to the player, both good and bad. In free play and Party-Planner Trek, the character themselves can partake in their own Showdown minigame, with a grayed-out version of the character taking their place as an NPC.

Minigames

File:SMPJ Prime Cut.jpg
Prime Cut, one of the minigames in Super Mario Party Jamboree
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.

In addition to the usual minigame categories, Rhythm minigames return from Super Mario Party, all of which are now cooking themed, 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.

Motion-controlled minigames return from Super Mario Party, requiring a Joy-Con, and are not available when playing online. However, button-controlled minigames can still be played using a Pro Controller or while using a Nintendo Switch Lite.[21]

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 landing on an Event Space.
    • The sky now turns dark when Impostor Bowser is in the tower.
    • The price of Ztars has been cut in half, and they now look flat and cardboardy.
    • 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.
    • Players no longer get a 10-Coin bonus when they complete a lap.
  • 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.
    • 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.
  • On both boards:
    • Certain Blue Spaces have been replaced by other kinds of spaces.

Minigames

  • Within Mario's Three-peat:
    • Compared to past versions, Bumper Balls takes place in the sky.
    • 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 Leaf Leap, players no longer travel into space as they climb.
  • 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 bonus game, 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.
  • 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.
