I'm not kidding when I say that Jamboree is quite rich and varied in many mini-games and activities. So full of news, so many additions and new discoveries that it is the best chapter of the Mario Party franchise since anyone could remember. There are plenty of works in the franchise, however: so many, different and peculiar that they have become fundamental for the creative development of the Big N. The only recommendation is to try not to anger some friends because of winning a star before they manage to reach it. In that case, pretend to be dead.

Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn’t bring anything overly surprising to this well-worn series, and not every mode and minigame will put you in a festive mood, but overall, the game offers plenty to celebrate. Jamboree may not entice those who have had their fill of Nintendo’s shindigs, but those still down for a good button-mashing bash should appreciate just how much they’ve stuffed into this goodie bag.

What could have been an overstuffing of gameplay styles old and new has quite literally turned out to be a jamboree of a good time for Mario’s most chaotic franchise. A few unbalanced mini-games and over-talkative tutorials aside, Super Mario Party Jamboree strikes a good balance between giving players options with how they’d like to play while also providing a good sprinkling of board game twists – most obviously through the new brilliant Jamboree Buddy system. If you’ve been previously left disillusioned by previous Mario Party games on Nintendo Switch, this is easily the best entry on the platform, guaranteed to give family and friends a fun but frenetic time.

More generous, unpredictable and flamboyant than ever, Super Mario Party Jamboree is an essential to liven up your evenings with friends or family. This eighteenth episode breaks away from some of its predecessors' dubious choices to focus on the essentials: effective mini-games and more than ever, Wild parts that gain a little bit in rhythm and content generous enough not to tire those who would only take it out on rare occasions. With a few game modes to top it off, some quite ingenious, others more gadgets, Super Mario Party Jamboree has the merit of varying the pleasures. It is certainly not a revolution, but it remains an excellent party-game that will cheer up without problem your evenings and offer you some laughter.

If your party guests are already used to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Party Jamboree is the best option for this holiday season. It's a fun experience that will keep everyone having a memorable time, and a fantastic way to send off the Switch in what will likely be its last holiday in the spotlight.

Priced at $80 AUD, you know what you’re getting into with Super Mario Party Jamboree. While Nintendo die-hards will find fun in the single-player mode, most of us will pick this up alongside a handful of friends and a slab of beers. If you need to freshen up your party game experience, this one should be a good fit.

Super Mario Party Jamboree lives up to it's name in practically every way. It's equal parts lavish and boisterous, offering up a selection of boards with novel and fun gimmicks that make it a constant joy to come back to. Adding a wide variety of ways to play, including heaps of customisable rules, only sweetens the deal. Without a doubt, Super Mario Party Jamboree is Mario Party at it's best.

Super Mario Patry Jamboree is the best installment in the series. I’m writing this review between levels, and I can’t wait to jump into another one. I’m certain that with a steep decline of the amount of party games, this one will stand out and become as popular as it deserves.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is yet another quality entry in the series, containing a generous number of new boards, minigames, and fresh game modes. The new Jamboree buddy mechanic adds a much-needed element of chaos, and the game boards contain interesting events and hazards. Its similarities to the previous two Mario Party titles for the Switch are starting to feel a little long in the tooth, but that won't stop you from having a grand old time. I just hope Nintendo spices things up even more for the next one!

Super Mario Party Jamboree is a continued return to form for the Mario Party series, blending the core formula with colourful splashes of the new and inventive. Nintendo have elevated what made the series special through a wide selection of fun mini-games, expansive boards and a mix of additional modes/challenges. There's a party in the Mushroom Kingdom and you're very much invited!

With an overabundance of content, infinitely replayable minigames, and enough charm to fill a piñata, Super Mario Party Jamboree is easily the best Mario Party on Switch. While not necessarily a replacement for Superstars due to that game being more of a series celebration rather than a brand new entry, Jamboree improves upon the original Super Mario Party in almost every way, and is absolutely worth the upgrade. Although the single-player mode wasn’t as fleshed out as it could have been, and there are a few strange development decisions here and there, Jamboree has more than a little something for everyone.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is a fun title that will give you a great time with family and friends. We loved seeing that NDCube listened to feedback and improved many of the aspects where Super Mario Party fell short. Unfortunately, in the process, they forgot to pay attention to the elements that made its predecessor a game that many enjoyed.

All in all, Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn't really have too many negatives. It's a really fun party collection of mini-games that will appeal to the whole family and a bunch of friends. It offers a great selection of minigames, well-tuned mechanics, dynamic maps and a bunch of side modes as well. The core of the game hasn't really changed, so it kind of feels like an expansion to Super Mario Party.
