Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch received high praise, earning a 9/10 in our review. We lauded it as a stellar sequel to Mario Party Superstars and one of the best entries in the series. It successfully revived the classic formula from the Nintendo 64 era while introducing innovative mechanics on its fantastic boards. The game's flexibility, with customizable options and the strategic Pro Rules, was particularly appreciated, reducing luck-based elements and enhancing strategic play. The diverse set of 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 game shines brightly in local and online multiplayer settings, cementing its status as a standout title in the Mario Party series.
