Ahead of the launch of Super Mario Party Jamboree later this month on 17th October 2024, it's been revealed a demo of the game has been added to in-store Nintendo kiosks across the US.
This demo is available at select GameStop, Best Buy and Target, and allows you to party for 10 minutes in total. As highlighted by Nintendo Wire, you'll be able to try out two game modes: the Koopathlon and Minigame Bay. Here's a bit more about them:
"The Koopathlon will pit you against 19 computer players where you’ll “race” one another by how many coins you collect in each minigame until it’s time for a Survivathon Minigame from Imposter Bowser. As for Minigame Bay, only three play modes are available to try out – Showdown Minigame Battle, Free Play, and Tag Match (2 vs. 2 team matches)."
Mario Party Jamboree will offer more than 110 minigames and 22 playable characters. You can see our impressions and more previews of Jamboree in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life.

Any online demo?
I hope there's stuff to do. A lot of Nintendo multiplayer games are so bad these days in terms of content because everything is unlocked. What's the point of playing outside of a party gimmick?
@Dazman "A lot of Nintendo multiplayer games are so bad these days in terms of content because everything is unlocked"
I couldn't agree more! In the N64 generation I'd literally choose which games to buy based on how much there was to unlock.
@FineLerv Yeah. I get why they have it for a "multiplayer mode" but I really miss the single player modes where you needed to win cups to unlock new courses etc Without these there's really little incentive for me to play without friends.
As much as I'd love to see such demos available also on the eShop - again, while it's undoubtedly because Nintendo made deals with these retailers for the most part I wouldn't be surprised if it were also to avoid datamining - I'll take this over nothing (not that it matters to me personally as I'm from Italy, but still) and it's great that Koopathlon is included in it!
@Dazman Based on what we've seen there is a lot of stuff to do and also to unlock - I could list it here, but I don't want to potentially spoil it for you (for others it doesn't matter as I'd put it between spoiler tags)!
I do recommend at the very least (unless you really mind spoilers) checking out the first impressions in the related articles as it touches on practically all the modes and at least some of the unlockables.
