Its truly a super experience whether youre playing with friends or going up against the best online.
However, the lack of fresh ideas may disappoint longtime Mario Party players.
Jamboree provides an overall great game experience and more of what fans already love.
Excellent visuals and performance come along for the ride, too.
Keep reading for my full Super Mario Party Jamboree review.
Each player takes turns doing this, trying to get the closest to a star placed on the board.
The winner is the player who has the most stars at the end of the game.
I found the board game segment to be excellent in this version of Mario Party.
The minimum amount of turns you might set is 10, which takes around 90 minutes to play through.
This allows you to cater the experience to the people youre playing with.
However, theres a random element involved in most of them that keeps things competitive enough.
But the mini-games are all fast-paced, varied and feel (mostly) balanced overall.
Belle of the ball
The presentation in this version of Mario Party is nothing short of fantastic.
I also appreciated how the animations kept the tone light-hearted.
The soundtrack has a lot going for it, too.
I also had a few slight issues with using the Nintendo Switchs different kinds of controllers.
This was irritating for everyone involved and didnt set a good precedent before the party started.
I loved the delicious-looking visuals and catchy music.
If you know what youre doing, its great fun for a few rounds.
I tried the Koopathlon mode next.
However, the same few mini-games kept repeating in my playthrough which made me wish there was more variety.
You control your character by flapping your arms to gain height and tilting your body to steer.
I couldnt play this for more than a few minutes before I was tired out.
This mode is pretty finicky and a little boring.
Party Planner Trek has a pretty niche appeal, but I loved it.
Last up is my favorite, Bowser Kaboom Squad.
This is another one-player-per-console mode.
Youll rush around a city, looking for crates full of explosives with a group of seven teammates.
However, Bowser and his minions will be in hot pursuit trying to stop you in your tracks.
It provides more boards, mini-games and characters without making any gimmicky adjustments to the series formula.
