As someone who doesn’t miss a new Super Mario Party game, I’m very excited for a new episode. Check out all the details below, including when you can expect Super Mario Party Jamboree to be released.
What is the release date of Super Mario Party Jamboree?
Announced at the Nintendo Switch Direct, Mario Party Jamboree will be released October 17, 2024. What better way to greet the cold fall days than with a competitive game of Mario Party? There will be no arguing, I’m sure.
On which platforms does Super Mario Party Jamboree release?
Although I despair as a primarily PC gamer, Super Mario Party Jamboree will be released only for the Nintendo Switch. It’s one of their biggest exclusive games, so it makes sense that they don’t change it.
What is the gameplay of Super Mario Party Jamboree like?
According to Nintendo, Jamboree will be the biggest game in the Super Mario Party series, set on a large island resort. The game will include five new boards:
- Rainbow Gallery – a multi-story board where you can use coins to buy Stars when they are on sale.
- Roll’em Raceway – a race board where you can even move up to 40 spaces if you’re lucky with a new die (I already see myself getting one as usual).
- Goomba Lagoon – beach board where the tide will affect the road
- Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party – a tea party in nature? I’m always ready!
- King Bowser’s fortress – the lava around this board matches Bowser’s aesthetic, I wouldn’t expect anything less from him.
In addition to new boards, Jamboree will also include two old maps: Mario’s Rainbow Castle and Western Land. It is also super 110 minigames in which you can challenge your friends for victory or for a spectacular loss.
Up to 20 players can also join the new online Coopathlon mode (which requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership). I can only imagine the chaos of so many people playing a Mario Party game. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be team-based, so I don’t have to worry about betraying anyone to climb to the top.
The trailer shows even more game modes that we don’t get many details. The Wiggler is shown in what looks like a race against players that requires coordination from fellow players. The notes in the air make me think that maybe there is some kind of music that you need to keep up with when you step.
The game mode with Mario and Luigi flying while carrying Peach makes me worry about which of my friends ends up in that basket. I suspect a lot of “accidental” moments where Peach is dropped (if that’s part of the gameplay).
