Like most installments in the Mario Party series, the main gameplay loop features players, either human or computer-controlled, using characters from the Mario franchise to compete in a board game with minigames after each turn. The game features a single-player mission mode as well as several other game modes, some of which require the use of motion controls. Typically up to four human players can compete at a time, but depending on the game mode, up to twenty human players can compete via online matchmaking.
Super Mario Party Jamboree received positive reviews, with general praise for its game board selection, multiplayer functionality, and general polish, but criticism for some of its game modes. Some have considered it to be one of the best Mario Party games to date. An upgraded port for the Nintendo Switch 2, Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, featuring new modes and minigames, was released on July 24, 2025, but received mixed-to-negative reviews for its online mode, removal of certain features, and lack of visual upgrades.
