Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch was a standout in the series, earning a 9/10 in our review. We praised it for its faithful return to the classic formula, enhanced by unique and memorable board mechanics, and its flexibility with customizable game options, including the innovative Pro Rules that minimize luck and emphasize strategy. The game's diverse minigames and character-specific challenges were highlights, though we noted a desire for a few more minigames. While the side offerings might not have long-term appeal, the core party experience with friends and family, both locally and online, solidified Super Mario Party Jamboree as a stellar entry in the Mario Party series.
