Mario's Three-peat is a Showdown minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree. It is centered around Mario, and it has four players competing against him and each other in three minigames from past installments in the Mario Party series. Its name is a portmanteau of "three" and "repeat." It is the only Showdown minigame not to be a completely new minigame, as well as the only one to have the character in question compete against the players. Like other Showdown minigames, it cannot be played in the Mario Party mode if Mario is an active player character, though he can still be used in this minigame in Minigame Bay modes.
Introduction[edit]
The four players are standing next to a Warp Pipe in the background of Leaf Leap when Mario jumps out and invites everyone to join him for the minigames.
Gameplay[edit]
This minigame features three previous minigames.
The first stage is Leaf Leap, returning from Mario Party 5. Players must jump from leaf to leaf to try to climb the highest on their respective beanstalks. If players jump to a leaf that is not there, they will fall until they land back on a leaf below. The player who climbs the highest when the 30-second time limit runs out wins. The beanstalk then extends up into the clouds for the next stage.
The second stage is Bumper Balls, returning from Mario Party. The objective of the minigame is to bump other players off a platform by utilizing personalized balls. Mario starts in the center of the stage, while the other players start in the corners as usual. The last player standing wins. Unlike in Mario Party and Mario Party 2, Bumper Balls takes place on a platform in the sky. All players are then attached to a balloon and taken up to the final stage.
The third and final stage is Shy Guy Says, returning from Mario Party, albeit modeled after its appearance in Mario Party 2 and set at nighttime rather than daytime. Players have to raise the same-colored flag as the Shy Guy. Each of the Shy Guy's flags shows the button used to raise that flag: 
for white and 
for red. If one of the players raises the wrong-colored flag or does not raise any flag, the Shy Guy uses a bow and arrow to pop their balloon and eliminate them from the minigame. The last player attached to their balloon wins.
Each player's score is kept at the end of each stage, awarding five points for first place, four for second, three for third, two for fourth, and one for fifth. In the Mario Party mode, the player who encountered Mario on the board first to trigger the minigame is awarded three points at the beginning as an advantage.
The player with the most points at the end (not counting the AI-controlled Mario) wins the minigame and receives Mario as a Jamboree Buddy.
