The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has issued a rating for Super Mario Party Jamboree on Nintendo Switch.
“This is a collection of mini-games (party games) in which players compete to earn stars, coins, and rankings,” the ESRB rating reads.
“As players engage in different modes (e.g., board game, rhythm games, puzzle-based games, flying games, mini-games), they encounter or participate in whimsical instances of fantasy violence: cartoony cannons/cannon turrets that shoot at giant characters; avoiding a robot with giant boxing gloves/fists; using over-sized hammers against each other; connecting electric circuits to zap a boss character. Damage is indicated by blinking, comical yelps, and/or dizzy star effects.”
Revealed in June’s Nintendo Direct, this is promised to be “the biggest Mario Party yet.” The moustachioed plumber and his pals arrive at an enormous island resort on which you will compete across five new game boards such as Rainbow Galleria, Roll ’em Raceway and Goomba Lagoon. There are also two boards from earlier Mario Party games that make their return.
With more than 110 minigames to play – the largest selection in the series to date – your skills will be tested in action-packed challenges, puzzles that test your wits and minigames that require motion control input.
There is also an online Koopathlon mode, in which up to 20 players can go head-to-head against one another.
Super Mario Party Jamboree will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 17 October 2024.
