Bowser Live Minigames
Bowser Live is a mode where Bowser and company take over the studio in order to challenge you in the following games!
Hitting It Rich
Hitting It Rich involves using your camera to put your head into a game that sees you bump repeatedly off a yellow block to get as many coins as you can!
Talking Flower Says
This game requires you to follow the flower's orders and get your timing right on squats.
Goombalancing Act
This camera-based game has you balance a whole lot of Goombas on your head without having them topple over.
Bowser Chicken
Speak Up, Junior
Bowser Beats
Camera Minigames
These three games, which you can find detailed above, also use the camera when it's connected. Note that when your camera is connected, you can't take screenshots! But rest assured, we've had a lot of fun pulling faces in these ones.
Hitting It Rich
As detailed above, this minigame sets you the task of using your in-game avatar to collect coins from a coin block using your head.
Talking Flower Says
In this camera game, the talking flower dishes out movement commands and you must follow them. Stand or squat, what's it gonna be next? And why are our legs burning?
Goombalancing Act
Finally, this is the one you'll have seen in lots of trailers so far, with a big old load of Goombas balancing on your head as you attempt to not drop them.
Carnival Coaster
Carnival Coaster is a mouse-mode bit of fun that allows you and another player to ride a selection of coasters where you do some shooting along the way using your motion controls.
You can check out all the coasters below, and note that every time you enter a tunnel/pipe on a track you'll be whisked away to take part in a random mouse-mode game from the selection you can find above.
All Carnival Coaster Tracks
- Volcano Coaster
- Sky-High Coaster
- Carnival Coaster
- Haunted Coaster
- Trial Coaster
Mario Party Jamboree TV
Mario Party returns in Jamboree TV, and this version benefits from resolution and graphical enhancements on Switch 2. All the boards look great here, although there are no new ones, and all of the new mouse and mic games are woven into the original selection.
Mario Party also makes use of the camera in Jamboree TV mode only, to let you see yourself and your pals on-screen.
The biggest change in this mode for the expansion beyond all of this is the addition of two new rulesets, Frenzy and Tag-Team.
Unfortunately, the Pro ruleset from the original Mario Party mode, which you can still play by selecting it when you boot into the game initially, hasn't made it to this new Mario Party Jamboree TV mode, so it's these two new modes or party mode only.
