Here are all the Super Mario Party Jamboree boards:
Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party
- Difficulty level: ★☆☆☆☆
- Unlock criteria: Available from the beginning
Start your party off right with a relaxing walk through the forest, and you might just encounter a Mega Wiggler! As a beginner board, the route around the forest is fairly straightforward, but you can move Mega Wiggler to change the path and reach the star before your opponents.
Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party also features the Wiggler Bell item, which wakes up Mega Wiggler and makes them angry, turning all of the lucky spaces on its back into unlucky spaces. Despite the low difficulty rating, there’s still plenty of room for mayhem on this board.
Western Land
- Difficulty level: ★★☆☆☆
- Unlock criteria: Reach silver player rank
Revisit Western Land, a classic Mario Party 2 board, in Super Mario Party Jamboree once you’ve dipped your toe into the party and reached silver rank. Ride the steam train around the Wild West-inspired board, playing cowboy and fighting your friends for stars.
Roll ‘em Raceway
- Difficulty level: ★★★☆☆
- Unlock criteria: Available from the beginning
The key to success on Roll ‘em Raceway is speed. Hop in your racecar and zoom towards the star, using jump pads and double dice to overtake your foes. Watch out for runaway cars on the top lane though, or you’ll be driven off the track.
Roll ‘em Raceway’s route is simple, but its high-speed gameplay is exhilarating. Get ready for a thrilling race that will keep you on your toes!
Goomba Lagoon
- Difficulty level: ★★★★☆
- Unlock criteria: Available from the beginning
Don’t be fooled by the sapphire blue ocean and white sand beaches – Goomba Lagoon is no tropical paradise. The island’s paths are constantly shifting with the tides, and that volcano is ready to blow at any second! But, if you’re into treasure hunting and don’t mind a bit of danger, it might be worth a visit.
Rainbow Galleria
- Difficulty level: ★★★★☆
- Unlock criteria: Available from the beginning
Hey, is that Coconut Mall from Mario Kart? Not quite, but Rainbow Galleria sure brings back memories of racing on the Wii. This three-story mall is filled with confusing paths and one-way systems, but there’s so much to see and do along the way.
Every Mario Party Jamboree board has rewards for lapping, but Rainbow Galleria’s works a little differently. Each player gets a stamp card and you have to visit four different stalls
