Super Mario Party Jamboree Just Launched, But It's Already 20% Off

Amazon-owned retailer Woot is continuing its streak of offering surprisingly great discounts on new Nintendo Switch games with a 20% discount on Super Mario Party Jamboree. Yes, the same Super Mario Party Jamboree that just released October 17. Woot's deal drops the price from $60 to $48. Woot originally stated this deal would only be available today (October 18), but the retailer has since updated the promotional period to November 1. That said, it's highly unlikely Jamboree will remain in stock at this price for two weeks; Woot's deals on Switch exclusives have been known to sell out fast.

There is a caveat or two here: All Nintendo Switch physical games sold from Woot are now marked as region-free, which means it's possible you won't get the North American release. Your copy will still be playable in English, with the main difference being a different ratings board logo on the box art (instead of ESRB). You also might miss out on Jamboree's pack-in voucher for three months of Nintendo Switch Online that's being offered at US retailers and the eShop through March 31 while supplies last. Jamboree's box art on Woot doesn't show the offer, so it's very possible you will get an international copy of the game, and those would naturally exclude the voucher since it's for the US eShop.

Best Buy, Target, and GameStop also have free Nintendo-themed gifts while supplies last. Best Buy's Mario Party-themed tote bag appears to be gone, but if you order a copy from Target or GameStop and pick it up at your local store, you may still be able to get those gifts (a popcorn bucket at Target, or a keychain at GameStop).

Super Mario Party Jamboree is just one of numerous Switch exclusives receiving rare discounts at Woot this week. All of the deals below were originally slated to end on October 18, but Woot has updated the promotional period to November 1 for the other Switch games, too. However, some of them have already sold out, including Echoes of Wisdom and Nintendo World Championships. Here's the list of Switch deals at Woot. Below the list we've detailed Super Mario Party Jamboree's major retailer offers.

Super Mario Party Jamboree Retailer Bonuses

You can take a look at the retailer-exclusive Super Mario Party Jamboree gifts above:

• Best Buy -- Tote Bag
• Target -- Party Tin | In-store only
• GameStop -- Dice Block Keychain

Buying from any of the three retailers listed above will also get you the three months of Nintendo Switch Online.

Super Mario Party Jamboree features over 110 minigames, single-player modes, the classic party mode, and an online game mode Jamboree includes an online game mode dubbed Koopathlon, a high-score-chasing minigame battle for up to 20 players.

It earned a 6/10 in our Super Mario Party Jamboree review. "The new modes are largely duds, the tantalizing promise of 20-player online falls a bit flat, and several of the new minigames are a slog," critic Dan Ryckert wrote. "That said, the new maps are the best original ones in many years and Jamboree promises to still be a blast when you've got some friends over."

Jamboree is the third Mario Party game for Nintendo Switch, following 2021's Mario Party Superstars and the 2018's Super Mario Party. If you don't already own those games, you can pick up Superstars for $50 at Walmart and Super Mario Party for $40 at Woot. Alternatively, you can bundle Jamboree with red and blue Joy-Con controllers for $96 at Walmart. Considering Mario Party can be played with single Joy-Con controllers, this bundle is a convenient way to add two more players to the party.
