Super Mario Party Jamboree Version 1.1.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

An update that adds the option to remove Jamboree buddies or allows us to further customize the rule set in general would be excellent.

I would do the 'Mario Party Jamboree version 1.1.1 update for GOTY' joke but I already did that with Splatoon a little while ago

Nice to see this patch, I haven't played the game yet but it looks great!

i dont think i even touched tag team online yet lol

but i agree more rule customization would go a long way, MP always felt stingy about that. individual minigame/bonus star toggle, adjusting the coin economy, buddy toggle, more turns in pro mode, ect

Don't get your hopes up for a significant update, guys. NDCube never usually updates their games with new content post-launch.

@JoeyTS Agreed. Jamboree buddies are a fun but half-baked idea. They can be insanely overpowered or borderline useless, and rarely anything in between. I was playing earlier in Pro Mode and won Peach in a Showdown after reaching her space on the board myself. However, all players were bunched together on the map. The next player took their turn before I had a chance to roll again, and because they went by me they took Peach with them. In a single turn they took two stars from me at the Boo Space, and then claimed two stars from the Star Space for only 20 coins. The next two players took the rest of my coins via Boo, juggled the Jamboree buddy between them and swanned off down the board. I had no chance. For winning the Jamboree buddy, all I got was an extra few coins for landing on a blue space once, and lost all my stars. Didn't even get a chance to roll!

I wish they would be rebalanced. Maybe apply a 50% markup to secondary actions with a Jamboree buddy? Or somehow limit the actions they can perform twice, because you get way too many coins, opportunities to use Boo and double stars for minimal investment. Peach is just broken. And for all the time and effort it takes to win the showdown minigames (Waluigis pinball lasts forever), you can lose the buddy immediately afterwards simply because other players are nearby.

Pro mode is actually really nicely ball for Mayo Party... Except the bloody Buddies.

I would like to see the ability to disable Jamboree buddies, disable boo, and set online games to 10 turns instead of 15.

Wish there were more Bonus Star Options/Criteria like in previous MP’s (Most Coins at One Time, Most Minigame Wins, Most ___ Spaces etc.). And while it’s nice they tell you what the Bonus Star will be at the beginning, I kind of wish there were like 2 more Bonus Stars who’s criteria remains hidden & random at the end of the game. Would make the finale still interesting whereas in Jamboree, you kind of already usually know who is going to win already before it even ends because of all the “knowns”.

Also, the 1-3 Dice Item is too nerfed if any other dice boost item can not only cancel it out, but also still retain its full boost value. Think those items should only cancel it, but then you just have a normal dice roll.

Overall though, great entry! Obv still wish for a couple more boards, party minigames & unlockables/achievements, but all the other modes kind of make up for it. I do worry about the long term viability of the online though with so many segmented online modes & options. Party Mode should always be the main focus imo. There are also too many minigames exclusive to non-Party Modes- which limits the variety a bit in the main mode.

@wuntyme8 this has always been my problem with MP. Why is the selection of 4 player games so low. Especially if you play non motion! But even with it turned on I keep playing the same games... And somehow it's almost never 2v2?!

Love the game a lot, that's my only problem with it! 😄

I guess Sunset Showdown is never going to get fixed. It's too easy to cheese that one of you have a smaller character by going to the edges where Banzai Bill can’t reach.

This game is truly great - my family has engaged with it unlike any other switch game. One daughter loves rhythm kitchen, the other always wants to play toads item factory. Separately I brought it along to a friends weekend away and we had some great Mario parties. I think it’s head and shoulders above the other switch MP games. My only complaint is that a 10 turn game takes way too long, I wish they could get it closer to an hour rather than 90 minutes

The name length glitch is a funny one

@Manguy888A a 10 turn game is an hour and a half!? I'm I remember right 20 turn games used to be an hour, back in the day

@Gryffin yeah it absolutely is. The boards are packed with so much stuff that each turn takes longer. It's all fun stuff, but the result is that you can spend 90 minutes on a ten turn game, and sometimes players have gotten very few stars. I can't imagine how long a 20 turn game takes - my kids could never keep attention that long.
Because of this we've been doing the other modes which are mostly great. even with my complaints, it's a great game

@garfreek yup I agree. Definitely need more non-motion Party Mode minigames. I’ve noticed the same thing. And while the motion games can be cool, I still prefer playing with a pro controller- and it seems so does most of the online community going by how much easier it is to load an online match if you turn motion games off vs. keeping them on- but again then you sacrifice some variety potentially smh.

On a somewhat separate note, I also sometimes prefer the 1 v 3 or 2 v 2 minigames though, just because they actually have true losers. The 4 Player games reward too many losers with coins still… especially with so many coin games (with no real losers at all). Altogether I think everyone gets too rich too easily in MP with no real merit associated with said coin luxury in most cases.

How can you strategically stop someone from being able to afford stars or items if every minigame they still get a decent sum of coins pretty much even if they “lose” the game? Either change the payouts or up the prices in the game. Everything is too cheap and easily afforded tbh… not to mention items being handed out almost every turn in one form or another through lucky/item spaces anyways.

@wuntyme8 I feel the Lucky spaces are usually the worst offenders. They did nerf them somewhat vs. The previous game I noticed. And they aren't scared to finally rip you a new one and let bowser steal a star or a large amount of coins.

You really need that to have stakes, highs and lows and a punishment to the money grabbing you can do here! (Going to boo is usually a better strategy than actually getting the star! )
