Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch received high praise in our 9/10 review. It was celebrated for returning to the classic formula with enhanced mechanics and boards, offering a flexible gameplay experience with customizable options and strategic Pro Rules. The game's new and returning minigames, along with character-specific challenges, were standout features, even though we wished for a few more minigames. While the side offerings were less engaging, the core party experience with friends and family, both locally and online, solidified its status as a top-tier entry in the Mario Party series.
