If you were a fan of Hasbro's Super Mario Monopoly when it was released back in 2020, but are looking for something that's a bit more accessible for younger audiences, you might want to check out Monopoly Junior: Super Mario Edition.
This new themed version is available on Amazon for $21.99 USD. Junior is "just like the classic", but is designed for younger players". In the Super Mario Edition you will explore the Mushroom Kingdom filled with familar artwork, themes and gameplay.

You'll be able to play as Mario, Peach, Yoshi or Luigi while you buy up properties and collect coins. The player with the most coins wins. There's also a special power-up die and coin sound unit. The board spaces feature both "scenes and themes" from the series - such as Yoshi's Hill, Cooligan Fields and Rock-Candy mines.
"The Monopoly Junior game teams up with Super Mario characters and themes for action-packed excitement! In this Monopoly Junior: Super Mario Edition board game kids can imagine taking a fun adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom. They can choose to play as Mario, Peach, Yoshi, or Luigi, and move around the gameboard buying up properties and collecting coins. Players roll the power-up die to see if they get to press the Coin Sound Unit to hear the iconic coin sound from Super Mario, and to collect coins. This fun game for kids makes a great birthday or holiday gift for Super Mario fans and kids ages 5+."
Hasbro has also released The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition and Super Mario Jenga. Will you be adding this board game to your Super Mario collection? As always, leave a comment down below.

I really wish NSMBU wasn’t the template that toy companies choose for “exciting Mario locations”. That game has as much originality as the average YouTube top 10 channel circa 2016 (i.e, none). Why not use Odyssey, or a mix of games from Mario’s lineup?
Because the original Monopoly Super Mario board was too complicated for anyone ages 5+.
Did they just copy and paste from the Super Mario 3D World box art?
Luigi's arm behind Mario looks weird.

Yep. It’s nothing new, and Hasbro/other board game manufacturers have been copy and pasting from 3D world since 2013.
Aww, it's Junior. I hate the new currency that so many newer Monopoly games are using. Oversimplifies things wayyy too much for my liking.
It is cool how the property images sort of bleed into each other, though.
I liked the monopoly junior I had when I was little, but I think they changed it to be more like actual monopoly
Cheap paper standees? Well that’s not high quality at all..
I still have the Mario Gamer Edition Monopoly. That version is so much fun.
Bruh, the board is literally a dumbed-down version of the original mario gamer version with the question block mechanic from the 35th anniversary edition
"You'll be able to play as Mario, Peach, Yoshi or Luigi while you buy up properties and collect coins." --that's cool and all but... why is Luigi being mentioned last?? He is THE player 2 and yet you mentioned him last as if it was like
"You can play as Mario, Peach, & Yoshi in this game! ...oh and Luigi too"
that is kinda sad, why you gotta do him like that?! Poor Luigi... is sad enough he is the second banana, but now he is being promoted to being the last banana of the bunch. 😢
Btw I so wanna get this game, but I do wonder why they stopped using the "Monopoly GAMER" name, it was cool but now they are just calling them plain Monopoly.
I preferred the version based on The Wire
hmm I already have the mario kart and celebration monopoly. honestly looking at this board, it's just simplified rules that you can apply for the regular boards too?
I have a regular version of Monopoly Junior, and they did a great job of making it accessible for kids. My 7 year old loves it, and a game only takes 15-20 minutes.
I remember having this Mario Kart Monopoly Gamer one that was probably based on Mario Kart 7. Why not just make another Gamer instead of Junior?
So offensive that they are using standees instead of figurines. Vanilla Monopoly Jr has wonderful kid-friendly pieces and even the Nintendo Monopoly has proper Nintendo-themed Tokens.
@denpanosekai Pretty much, though it doesn't convert that easily.
Assuming it plays like actual Monopoly Jr, it's a six sided board with one dice, no Community Chest, easier maths, mandatory purchasing, and the game just ends when someone can't pay for something. There's slightly more advanced rules that let's you pay for things with properties you own but that's all there is to it. Perfect for my 5 year old.
This looks like it sits somewhere in between the two versions.
