Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch received high praise, scoring a 9/10 in our review. It was celebrated for being a fantastic sequel to Mario Party Superstars and one of the best entries in the series. The game successfully revived the classic formula from the Nintendo 64 era while introducing new, engaging mechanics. It offered flexibility with customizable game settings and introduced the innovative Pro Rules, which minimized luck-based elements and enhanced strategic gameplay. The variety of new and returning minigames, along with character-specific challenges, made it a standout title, though we noted a slight desire for more minigames. While the side offerings might not have long-lasting appeal, the core game shines when played with friends and family, both locally and online.
