Nintendo has released a video overview of next month's release of Super Mario Party Jamboree. The game introduces us to a brand new 20-player online mode, and brings back the usual expectations of game boards, minigames, local, and online multiplayer. Let's take a look at what we're getting.

Mario Party Mode

  • Up to four players can play the main mode of Mario Party.
  • There are 7 boards included, more than usual!
    • Mega Wiggler's Tree Party - Paths on the board change each time Wiggler moves.
    • Roll 'em Raceway - Features characters driving race cars on a track.
    • Goomba Lagoon - Tides change the board, hiding paths.
    • Rainbow Galleria - There are shops where you can buy items and stars at discounts.
    • King Bowser's Keeps - Chaos when its Bowser's turn.
    • Western Land - Makes a return from Mario Party 2 from the N64 (a classic!)
    • Mario's Rainbow Castle - Makes a return from the original Mario Party (even more of a classic!)
  • There are over 110 mini games available to play.
  • You can pick up a Jamboree Buddy during gameplay who gain special abilities like copying opponent's items, or launching you across the board.
  • The mode is available to be played offline, online with friends, and online with matchmaking.

Minigames & Minigame Bay

  • There are over 110 minigames included in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

    • Games that have motion controls are not available in online mode or on Nintendo Switch Lite.
  • Minigame Bay allows you to just play minigames instead of the traditional board game.

  • Play games to collect coins, each coin collected helps advance you on the massive board.
  • Special 20-person mini games are also available to play during the Koopathlon.
  • Losing games can have severe consequences, booting you back far.
  • Cross the finish line first to win.

Bowser Kaboom Squad

  • An 8-player online mode with friends or random players from around the world.
  • Join forces to collect bombs to defeat imposter Bowser.
  • You only have 5 rounds to defeat Bowser.
  • Each round features a co-op minigame with all 8 players, which provides opportunities to obtain special items to aid in the fight.
