Nothing can keep a good party down, and during the most recent Nintendo Direct the company announced the latest entry in the Mario Party series. Super Mario Party Jamboree boasts plenty of classic same-couch multiplayer madness, with over 110 minigames, some of which you’ll destroy your thumbs with, some of which are motion-controlled. Perhaps the most notable addition is the Koopathlon, which pits up to 20 players online in a mode that looks more than a little inspired by Fall Guys. Nintendo is also hinting at more yet-to-be-revealed modes as well. Check out the first trailer for Super Mario Party Jamboree, below.
Looking pretty solid! Mario Party may not be the choice of the badass hardcore gamer, but the series remains massively popular. Super Mario Party has sold over 20 million copies on Switch, Mario Party Superstars racked up 13 million, and Super Mario Party Jamboree looks like perhaps the highest-effort entry in the series on Switch yet. Need to know more about the game? Here’s the official Mario Party Jamboree description…
“Mario and friends are arriving on an enormous island resort for the latest entry in the Mario Party series. Explore five new game boards: ride the escalators in Rainbow Galleria, stay on track in Roll ’em Raceway and mix things up with an active volcano in Goomba Lagoon, just to name a few. Two boards from previous Mario Party games are making a return, too. In addition, over 110 minigames are available to play — the largest selection in the Mario Party series to date. Experience action-packed challenges, puzzles to test your wits and some minigames that feature motion controls. That’s not all — up to 20 players can go head-to-head in online play in the Koopathlon mode. The biggest Mario Party yet will soon be underway when Super Mario Party Jamboree launches.”
Super Mario Party Jamboree gets the celebration started on Switch on October 17.
