Super Mario Party Jamboree is shaping up to be a seriously amazing party game— possibly the best Mario Party ever! For long-time fans, that’s more than enough reason to jump in, especially with the overwhelmingly positive reviews. However, some might hesitate—maybe they were burnt in the past, or just need a convincing reason to get another Mario Party game. We have that reason: Jamboree fixes what has been annoying gamers for years and delivers a significantly improved overall game!

Reviews are calling Jamboree a masterpiece (for party games, at least) with completely game-changing mechanics that make older Mario Party issues things of the past; especially since several other improved and more refined aspects of the gameplay were implemented into this new title. The best and most immediately noteworthy improved element is fixing the age-old issue that always made some people extremely frustrated about its gameplay experience: The heavy reliance on luck in order to have winning opportunities!

The Age-Old Mario Party Problem: The Tyranny of Luck!

There's fun to be had in Super Mario Party, but it's lacking compared to its predecessors. Image

Mario Party is supposed to be a strategic game.  Players make choices concerning routes and which actions to take; balancing whether or not they should spend additional resources to improve their journey or accept additional risks that have unpredictable outcomes! Yet even the most incredible plan can easily backfire, thanks to that insane luck-based randomness that frequently impacts nearly every round! Some things remain particularly notable; things like finding some kind of bonus star that’s incredibly difficult to avoid or just encountering a really powerful, overwhelmingly deadly Bowser Space. This kind of totally unpredictable situation, the frustration generated when you totally mess up a perfect play due to entirely random situations creates feelings of immense unfairness that leaves a sour taste and this alone causes a negative emotional response for gamers; and makes this title an ultimately negative experience. It absolutely ruined some good matches and frequently hampered any potential for an amazing and ultimately successful game!

That has always been a problem, ever since the very first Mario Party game—randomness that creates totally unpredictable and usually unfair conditions and ultimately ruins the gaming experience, leading to gamers developing negative views about this entire franchise!

Jamboree totally addresses this and solves this age-old problem: Parents are no longer yelling at their kids after those seriously brutal game losses thanks to random, deadly encounters that were essentially unbeatable without employing luck as a main mechanic! Friendships no longer face ruin after the insane and entirely unfair random bonus star events impacting nearly every round that made a otherwise strategic game totally unfair for players. The solution arrived in the form of Pro Rules!

Jamboree's Solution: Pro Rules

Super Mario Party Jamboree's Pro Rules totally transforms the core game. These stricter rules removes all luck elements! Everything is known! What is going to happen in bonus star events or even the dangers inherent from Bowser Spaces are now known before any encounters!

These are really significant changes:

  • Bonus Stars: You see these coming.
  • Bowser Spaces: You already know their impacts!
  • Item Availability: No longer are there entirely arbitrary decisions on items found along your travel across that game board; a total oversight that never would've worked had it not involved completely eliminating any of the random factors involved.
  • Dice Rolls: Certain game boards allow for specific dice roll improvements!

Pro Rules guarantee fairer, less rage-inducing matches!   Everything is predictable and strategically balanced, so skill and strategies employed completely determine the victory or failure—not unpredictable events completely outside a gamer's direct control.  The original rules remain too; for players liking those random elements—that element of luck. Yet Pro Rules really offer that perfectly improved game that ensures fair competition where strategic planning matters, removing all the aspects of random factors that often greatly and unfairly impacted player's opportunities. The addition of Pro Rules is seriously genius. The decision to include them changed the overall perception on the quality.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is great on its own; that's more than enough! That addition of Pro Rules?   That's the true game changer that addresses those fundamental shortcomings that greatly affected every previous release. Now we finally get strategic competition without any ridiculous luck determining those all-important victories. Fans previously unhappy and wary should definitely pick it up, this solves the problems previously hindering this otherwise perfect party game! This new addition was entirely necessary and perfectly justified.
