Super Mario Party Jamboree Adds New Modes, Features, and a Spotlight on You
The newest trailer for Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV just dropped, and it looks like the party’s only getting bigger.
This upgraded release brings a host of new modes and Switch 2-exclusive gameplay. The standout? CameraPlay, which lets you and your friends appear in-game during Mario Party Mode using the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. You’ll see real-time reactions as you roll the dice, collect Stars, and pull off game-winning moves of fail miserably!
Two new rule sets add variety to classic board gameplay:
-
Tag-Team Rules lets you pair up and roll a combined dice, warping your teammate to your location for maximum Star potential.
-
Frenzy Rules kicks off with high stakes, with 50 coins, a Star, and a Double Dice as soon as the game starts for quick, chaotic matches.
Then there’s Bowser Live, a camera-based minigame mode hosted by Bowser himself. Step on stage, complete challenges, and either earn his praise or face his wrath. Even without the camera, players can still join the action using the Switch 2’s built-in mic.
Finally, Carnival Coaster introduces five new thrill rides packed with motion controls, HD Rumble 2 feedback, and new minigames to test your skills and coordination.
It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Mario Party experiences yet.
Will you be picking it up on launch?
From the Press Release:
Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV expands on the fun of Super Mario Party Jamboree by adding all-new features and game modes as well as gameplay exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, including:
- Mario Party Mode: It’s time to make your on-camera debut with CameraPlay. You and up to three friends can appear in the game using a compatible camera such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. This new feature allows you to see your friends in the game while playing Mario Party and watch the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat play across their faces in real time*1. Plus, this mode now features two new rulesets to amp up the fun:
- Tag-Team Rules: Pick a partner! With Mario Party Tag-Team Rules, players work in teams of two to collect coins and Stars. Roll the special Together Dice that is only available in this game mode, and your teammate warps to your location – doubling your dice roll and potentially doubling the number of Stars you can collect.
- Frenzy Rules: Looking to ramp things up? With Frenzy Rules you’ll start out with 50 coins, a Double Dice and a Star. See who can collect the most Stars in just five turns! You can even challenge players to a duel right from the start. This fast and furious option is also great for those who don’t have time to play a full 10-30 turns.
- Bowser Live: Are you ready for your moment in the spotlight? With Bowser Live, players can use a compatible camera such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera to appear on stage in the game and compete in a series of minigames and challenges*2. Be warned, though, because Bowser himself is hosting the show, and he doesn’t let players off easy. If you’re playing without a Nintendo Switch 2 camera, you’ll still have the chance to play minigames that utilise the system’s built-in microphone. Will you get applause or punishment from the King of the Koopas?
- Carnival Coaster: This exhilarating new mode introduces five thrill rides to test your skills and teamwork! Thanks to HD rumble 2, you’ll feel the bumps and rumbles of the coaster. Using the mouse controls, you’ll pick off enemies as they appear and compete in new minigames. Hop aboard five different coasters, each with their own levels of difficulty, including Carnival Coaster, Volcano Coaster, Haunted Coaster, Sky-High Coaster and Trial Coaster.
Parties, of course, are all about sharing in the fun, and Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is no different. The game supports the Nintendo Switch 2 GameShare functionality, meaning if one party member has the game, they can share limited select content locally with up to three other players even if they don’t have the game themselves. And if a member of your party has a Nintendo Switch, you can share game content from the original Super Mario Party Jamboree with them, too.
And don’t forget, if you already have Super Mario Party Jamboree for the Nintendo Switch family of systems, an upgrade pack is available for the game*3. By purchasing the upgrade pack on Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll be able to play all of the new features and game modes.
The biggest Super Mario Party keeps getting bigger. Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV expands on the fun of the original Nintendo Switch game by adding all-new features and game modes as well as gameplay exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2. Players can take the party to the next level when the game launches on 24th July, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. An upgrade pack is available for the game.
