Super Mario Party Jamboree

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the biggest and most complete title in the series. It's a must-have for fans of the franchise, and a synthesis for everything a game needs for someone who wants to have fun with friends.

Probably the best Mario Party so far, with an impressive amount of content and gameplay that remains fun and accessible for absolutely everybody.

Some might say that this is "another Mario Party game" but for me this is one of the best games I've played in recent years. The excellent gaming experience that Super Mario Party Jamboree provides is simply amazing, and if you like this style of games even a little, you are in for a simply wonderful experience.

One of the best and most complete party games in the entire history of Super Mario, hitting the mark with a great selection of minigames, options, and game modes.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is up there for the best in the series. It boasts the most amount of content from high-quality boards to characters to minigames. The variety is enough to carry this game on its own, but the quality of the core experience is exceptional as well with how each board works and the many different types of minigames. Though the additional modes, with the exception of Bowser Kaboom Squad, are all pretty much misses, they do nothing to take away from the top-tier solo and multiplayer party experience Super Mario Party Jamboree has.

Super Mario Party Jamboree combines nostalgia and innovation with five new boards, 110 minigames, and a competitive ruleset that rewards skill over luck. While the partner system can add extra strategy, you are quite dependent on where this partner is placed on the board. The CPU doesn't always behave optimally and sometimes makes frustrating choices. The additional modes feel a bit unnecessary, with the unbeatable Party mode standing out as the clear favorite. Despite the lack of major innovations, the game remains perfect for fun evenings with friends and offers enough enjoyment to justify the purchase.

It's the biggest Mario Party game yet, but fails to find the fun at almost every step.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

It's mario party. The minigames are fun. The boards are solid. Even the the story mode was fun. I didn't even think it would have a story mode after the last game didn't have one. But yeah it's mario party. It's hard to do this game wrong unless you're 2012-2018 nintendo.

It's polished. But can we please get something new and exciting from Nintendo franchises, for once?

I would buy the game if Nintendo removed the forced Joy-Con usage. Yes, you can play the game with the Pro Controller and it's much better in that point as the previous Super Mario Party. But some games are just locked if you don't want to play with Joy-Cons. It makes no sense, because the Pro Controller has the same abilities like the Joy-Cons. Motion controls should be optional and only support the player like fine aiming in Zelda BotW. But it seems that the mini games with motion controls, could be also played with regular inputs too. I also don't like luck-based mini games where someone random wins. I am a human being and not bread. I hope the next Mario Party will be better.

All games should be playable with the Pro Controller! It also has a gyro. And all motion games could also be played with regular inputs. Being forced to use the Joy-Cons is brazen and pointless.
