Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

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.

Super Mario Party Jamboree takes the best parts of its predecessor and combines it with the best parts of the classics for an unforgettable Mario Party experience.

So all in all, given the content and the ideas, and the customisation possibilities, I think this game makes 2018's quite enjoyable Super Mario Party pale in comparison, which again is not what I was expecting. It's just much more comprehensive, better-rounded, more complete as a party game.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the biggest and best in the series to date, with a plethora of modes, and ways to play.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the most ambitious and complete game of the franchise to date, with a lot of different game modes, diverse minigames and always new things to discover. Whether in local mode with friends, online, or even playing alone, we felt that there was always plenty of content to enjoy.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is a fantastic new entry in the franchise that focuses on improving the core mechanics and experience, making for a more involving board game in the process, whilst also polishing everything to a slick sheen. Online aspects and modern stuff like the game's battle pass and collectibles are woven in smoothly, and the various new modes all have their place in a package that also delivers the goods in terms of minigame quality. Jamboree is the best Mario Party to date, so best make sure you've got your invite sorted.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is packed with fun content, additional modes and the overall presentation is excellent. The multiplayer is incredibly entertaining and all in all, this is the most fun installment in the series to date. That the motion control minigames are a little less fun we gladly take for granted, as the rest of the game overshadows in sheer quality. Must have.

In the pantheon of Mario Party games, Super Mario Party Jamboree is the best new game in a long, long time. After getting back to basics with Superstars, Jamboree sticks with the more traditional Mario Party formula in all the right ways, while still finding space to mix things up a little with new items, a blend of motion and button control minigames, Pro Rules, and some larger online modes and experiments. This is practically essential for Mario Party fans.

This is easily the best Mario Party game on the Switch, and while some might argue otherwise, it's likely the best Mario Party in recent memory, all without using the series' past as a crutch. It’ll be hard to top this one.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing followup to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. It’s also the most flexible Mario Party has ever been, with tons of ways to customize your game, including its brilliant new optional Pro Rules that reduce luck-based elements to a minimum and crank up the strategy for those who want it. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar.
