Why Super Mario Party Jamboree?

Super Mario Party Jamboree is good just like other Mario Party games. This game is up to 4-players on one Nintendo Switch like the others. This game has 5 new boards to play on along with 2 classics. There are brand new minigames and some old with a mix to it.

There are new modes to play too, Koopas’s Flight school is pretty cool. In that mode you use motion controls to fly Mario and Luigi in an open world, competition mode or co-op mode. There is also Rhythm Kitchen and Toad’s Item Factory which are 4-player co-op modes.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is pretty detailed. Each character has their own jingle when it’s their turn in Mario Party and there’s a hub world with little scenes to take pictures of. The graphics are well done and it’s bright and colorful.

This game sort of combines the features and systems in  Mario Party Superstars and other things from past Mario parties and Super Mario Party.

How We Test Games

For testing games we use a Nintendo Switch firmware version 2H. Hardware includes Joy-con and Pro controller on a large screen TV. Tests are done with up to 5 players. We take turns playing and evaluating games.

Whenever possible we play multiple players. We also use a Nintendo 2DS, DS XL, and for PC games we use a Ryzen 7 1700x CPU, AMD RX580, running on Win 10. This game is up to 4-players on one Nintendo Switch.

Pros

There’s lots of new content like minigames, boards and new modes just like Super Mario Party.

This game has more playable characters than any other Mario Party before. The total is 22 with Pauline and Ninji being unlockable.

They let you use 2 joy-con controllers unlike Super Mario Party. There is some minigames you have to use one but that’s only motion control minigames.

Cons

There’s not much cons to this game. Some minigames were in other Mario Part games like Shy Guy says but there is plenty of new content to make up for that.

There is lots of cutscenes. A lot of them you can’t skip and a game that would be 30 minutes turns out to be 40 or 50. The cutscenes are nice and all but once you see it 50 times you just want to skip them.

But the biggest con is there is 39 out of 112 minigames you can’t do 4-player. There’s 34 1-player and 5 only 2-player. There is still a lot of minigames to play but close to half isn’t 4-player.

Summary

Overall, Super Mario Party Jamboree is great. With the new boards, minigames and modes to play makes it a good game. Although you might think, “What’s the difference between all the Mario parties”? well I have a post about that you can read to learn more.
