Ready for a blast of fun with your favorite Mario crew? Super Mario Party Jamboree is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on October 17th, and it’s bringing a fresh, action-packed experience for party-goers everywhere. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or a newcomer, there’s something for everyone, from brand-new boards to exhilarating minigames and multiplayer modes that will keep the party going both locally and online!
Boards Galore: New and Nostalgic Locations Await!
The Super Mario Party Jamboree trailer has given us a sneak peek into the exciting new boards you'll explore. From the wild twists of Mega Wriggler's Tree Party, where the map changes dynamically, to the high-speed action of Roll 'em Raceway—a board where you’ll steer a race car to victory—the boards in this entry are truly next-level. Get ready to float through flooded paths in Goomba Lagoon, hunt for flash sales in Rainbow Galleria, and outwit Bowser’s imposter in the chaos of King Bowser’s Keep. Fans of classic Mario Party will be thrilled to know that Western Land from Mario Party 2 and Mario's Rainbow Castle from the original Mario Party are making a grand return!
Revamped Ally System: Friends with Perks!
The ally system is back, but with a twist! Not only do allies provide extra dice rolls, but each character now comes with their own unique ally ability. Plus, with the help of an ally, you can now buy in bulk—stocking up on items and even snagging stars in bundles. The party is getting bigger and better with more strategic options at your fingertips!
Party Anytime, Anywhere with Online Multiplayer!
Finally, you can take the party online with Super Mario Party Jamboree’s robust multiplayer features! Whether you’re playing with friends across the world or joining up with random match-made partygoers, you can dive into all the minigame mayhem, no matter the distance. This game brings Mario Party to a whole new level of accessibility with seamless online play.
Three New Motion-Control Modes for Extra Fun!
On top of classic Mario Party gameplay, Super Mario Party Jamboree introduces three all-new motion-controlled game modes. Take flight in Paratrooper Flight School, a cooperative mode where you and a friend flap through obstacle courses, or compete head-to-head to collect as many Para-biddybuds as you can! In Toad’s Item Factory, you’ll need to twist, tilt, and rotate your Joy-Con to navigate balls through tricky courses with over 30 levels of puzzle fun. And if you’re in the mood for a culinary challenge, team up with three other players in Rhythm Kitchen and use motion controls to whip up dishes in this rhythm-based cooking game!
New Online Modes for Ultimate Multiplayer Madness!
The party continues with two brand-new online modes: Koopathalon and Bowser's Kaboom Squad. In Koopathalon, 20 players race to the finish line, collecting coins in minigames to move ahead. But beware of Survivathon rounds, where elimination can set you back and shake up the rankings! In Bowser’s Kaboom Squad, eight players team up to collect bombs and fire them at the imposter Bowser using a cannon. Work together to defeat him within five rounds, playing cooperative minigames along the way to earn items that will help in the battle.
Get Ready to Party!
With so much packed into Super Mario Party Jamboree, this promises to be the most ambitious Mario Party yet! Whether you’re excited to take on the new motion-controlled minigames, battle it out in online multiplayer, or explore the nostalgic and brand-new boards, this game is set to be the party of a lifetime.
So, what are you most excited for? Don’t forget to pre-order on the Nintendo eShop to be the first to join the fun on October 17th!
