Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on Switch was highly praised in our review, earning a 9/10 rating. We described it as "an amazing follow-up to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series." The game successfully recaptures the classic formula from the Nintendo 64 era while introducing innovative mechanics and customizable gameplay options, including the strategic Pro Rules. While the side offerings might not have long-term appeal, the core party experience shines brightly, making it a standout title in the Mario Party franchise.
