The standout feature of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames to the party. These minigames leverage new input types unique to the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and more expressive rumble features. Additionally, the expansion utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately), which can be found at Target.
The camera accessory adds a fun twist by integrating the faces of up to four players directly into the game. You can engage in activities like balancing digital goombas on your head or hitting question blocks with your Joy-Con, making for an engaging and interactive experience. This expansion is particularly appealing for those who love hosting game nights and enjoy the social aspect of party games.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch received high praise and was considered one of the best entries in the Mario Party series in recent years. From our 9/10 review:
“Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing follow-up to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. It’s also the most flexible Mario Party has ever been, with tons of ways to customize your game, including its brilliant new optional Pro Rules that reduce luck-based elements to a minimum and crank up the strategy for those who want it. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar.”
