The theme centers around an island resort and includes large maps with features like a racetrack called Roll ‘Em Raceway with map-specific mechanics and a hazardous volcanic board called Goomba Lagoon with environmental hazards. This game includes five all-new boards, in addition to Mario’s Rainbow Castle from Mario Party 1 and Western Land from New Mario Party 2024. Super Mario Party Jamboree will include more than 110 minigames, some of which will make use of the Joy-Con’s motion controls.
Mario Party Superstars, a 2021 game honoring the history of the series, was the last Mario Party game. It featured 100 of the greatest minigames from the series, five iconic boards, and a ton of other throwbacks that truly made those of us who grew up with Mario Party in the early years smile. It was deemed “the best Mario Party has been in a very long time” in our review. Super Mario Party, its predecessor, was deemed “far better paced than recent games,” and even though we were not as impressed, it “reset expectations of the series.”

What is Mario Party?
For those unfamiliar with the series, New Mario Party 2024 is a multiplayer party game in which players play as various Mario characters. The gameplay is reminiscent of traditional board games like Snakes and Ladders, with players rolling dice to move around a virtual game board. The goal is to earn stars by playing a variety of minigames.
A New Chapter in the Mario Party Saga
Since the Mario Party series’ 1998 Nintendo 64 release, it has been a mainstay of fun and excitement. Over the years, it has provided hours of entertainment for players of all ages. The most recent addition, Super Mario Party Jamboree, seeks to build on this legacy with new content and innovative gameplay features.
Release Date and Platform
On October 17, 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree will only be playable on the Nintendo Switch. With one major Nintendo Switch game left to play, fans will be even more excited about this release, which coincides with the console’s nearing end of life.
Mario Party Jamboree Trailer
Not just the standard board game modes of Mario Party are shown off in the trailer, but also some of the new mechanics that will be added. We also get to see some of the other multiplayer features, such as the ability to play online with up to 19 other people.
Seeing how Super Mario Party Jamboree manages to have so many people play at once will be interesting to watch. The description in the trailer suggests that the 20-player option is limited to the “Koopathlon” mode. Waiting for your turn ahead of 19 other players would get pretty boring in a traditional board game, so this one is probably a little livelier.
Largest Selection of Mini-Games
One of the most notable aspects of this most recent release is the extensive selection of mini-games. Super Mario Party Jamboree features the most minigames in the franchise’s history, with 110. These mini-games’ entertaining, engaging, and varied designs ensure that players never have a dull moment.
Conclusion
With its inventive gameplay and wealth of content, New Mario Party 2024, which is scheduled for release on October 17, 2024, is expected to elevate the Mario Party franchise. Large, dynamic boards, more than 110 minigames, and brand-new online modes make it an eagerly awaited addition for fans as it blends nostalgic elements with novel experiences.
