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.

The Nintendo Switch was already home to the definitive experiments Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros., and now you can say the same about Mario Party. Super Mario Party Jamboree has enough qualities to validate dozens of marketing platitudes: it is the biggest Mario Party and, in aspects such as board selection and modes, it is the best Mario Party. More than admiring the quality, quantity and modernism of its content and features, the fun and rollercoaster of emotions they provide is commendable, in a mandatory experience for local multiplayer that will delight Greeks and Trojans - whether young or old, whether new to the series or longtime fans.

Super Mario Party Jamboree exceeds all expectations and delivers a title worthy of being considered the best Mario Party ever made. With over 100 minigames, several online and offline options, and several modes for one or more players, it's hard to find a reason not to join this party that proves that the Switch still has plenty of fuel to burn and plenty of fun to offer, even after being on the market for so long.

Unsurprisingly, Super Mario Party Jamboree has not reinvented the series. However, there are enough new elements to keep you entertained for a while. This is also the first time that the Switch's online functions are used in a big way - of course, this is only interesting if you have a Nintendo Switch online account or would like to get one. Some unbalanced game elements, such as the character-specific dice, are no longer to be found in the game and each player must rely solely on their skill in the mini-games for the time being. However, I would have liked the customization options for the game modes to be a little more extensive. Although many external factors (such as the number of rounds) can be adjusted, there are no options for special fields or boards. Those who enjoy party games of the usual high Nintendo quality - with slight modifications - will not be disappointed by Super Mario Party Jamboree.

The minigames are fun, the obligations are minimal, and the classic Mario Party feelings of frustration and euphoria quickly surface by the end of each game. Super Mario Party Jamboree delivers that and a few extras with the Expert options, although they could have been a bit more extensive.

I could have started with this, but I didn't want to spoil the review: Super Mario Party Jamboree is essentially the ultimate Mario Party. It's like Super Smash Bros Ultimate, offering everything that made the series famous but taken to the next level. The sheer number of characters, boards, games, modes, customizations, and rewards ensures fun whether you're playing solo or in large groups. Playing alone is no longer an issue, thanks to numerous modes that allow for online play or against a competent AI that will either support you properly or offer a challenge. If you're looking for a game to play with friends, look no further—Jamboree is the answer.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the ultimate return to form for the Mario Party franchise. While there's some stuttering while playing online and the process of unlocking boards may seem a bit tedious, the game is incredibly fun to play, especially with friends and family. The boards are the best they've been since Mario Party 8, the minigames are incredibly fun and addicting, and the variety of different modes will keep you hooked if you're looking for a new experience.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is everything that makes the series so loved and so hated. There were times when I wanted to ragequit and throw my Switch at the wall, and there were times when I cheered at unexpected good fortune in minigames and star placements – and those times often came in quick succession. Super Mario Party Jamboree shows that Mario Party is still a blast to play nearly three decades into its lifespan, which is a pretty neat achievement however you want to look at it.
