This expansion is a significant addition to the Switch 2 version of an already beloved game, perfect for gatherings where you want to enjoy some competitive fun with friends and family.
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch was a standout hit, earning a 9/10 in our review. It successfully brought back the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 era while enhancing it with unique boards and mechanics. The game offered a high level of customization, including the innovative Pro Rules that minimized luck and maximized strategy. With a fantastic selection of minigames and character-specific challenges, it truly shone as a must-play for Mario Party fans.
