Some Key Features of Super Mario Party Jamboree

Super Mario Party Jamboree carries over several popular elements from its predecessor, Super Mario Party. One of these is the ability to join forces with a buddy as you navigate the game board. However, this feature has been revamped in Jamboree.

In this installment, not only do you have to compete against other players to earn a buddy, but you also only get to keep them for three turns. Watch out—opponents can steal your buddy if they pass you, so choose your moves wisely!

How to Obtain Jamboree Buddies

Buddies Appear Randomly During Gameplay

The buddy system returns in a new format. Unlike previous games where landing on a specific space granted you a buddy for the entire game, the mechanics have changed significantly. In Super Mario Party Jamboree, buddies will randomly appear on the board, and you’ll have to act quickly to claim them.

A buddy will appear at the start of a turn, and you have just three turns to reach their location before they vanish for the game. Keep an eye out, as this can change the flow of the game dramatically.

Compete in Minigames for Your Buddy

When you arrive at the location of a buddy, your adventure doesn’t end there. You’ll need to engage in a four-player minigame with all players competing for the opportunity to claim that buddy. Each character in Jamboree has a unique minigame that you must win to make them your companion.

If you’re the first to find the buddy, you gain an advantage at the start of the minigame, whether it’s additional points or a boost in speed for racing games. However, that doesn’t guarantee a win; you still need to outperform your opponents!

Once the minigame concludes, the buddy will stick with the player who won, following them for three turns. This count starts from the end of the minigame, not from when the buddy first appears on the board.

But even after winning, your buddy isn’t a permanent fixture. Opponents can still swipe them if they simply pass by you, so keep an eye on your surroundings during the game!

Note: Just landing on the same space as another player with a buddy won’t allow you to steal it. You need to pass them to make that happen!

The Role of Buddies in Jamboree

Each character buddy in Super Mario Party Jamboree brings a unique ability that can enhance your gameplay. These could include bonuses like gaining extra coins or items, discounts in shops, or even improving your dice rolls. You’ll receive a special perk at the start of each turn while a buddy is at your side.

When you have a buddy, you can also take advantage of two item purchases at shops. This includes stars, items from various stores, and requests for Boo to steal from opponents, making it strategic to visit shops together.

Benefits of Playing with a Jamboree Buddy

Here’s what doubles in effectiveness when you have a buddy with you:

Blue and Red Spaces: Earn or lose a total of six coins.
Lucky and Unlucky Spaces: Activate the spinner on these spaces twice.
Item Shops: Buy a second item during your visit.
Star Spaces: Purchase two stars instead of one, assuming you have enough coins.
Boo Spaces: Steal from two opponents instead of one.

Having a buddy significantly boosts your chance of success in the game, and many buddies offer unique advantages. For instance, Princess Peach halves the cost of stars, while Daisy provides discounts on all items. The perks stack, so the more buddies you gather, the better!
