King Bowser’s Keep Missions
There are nine missions per category, with players needing to complete them all to get all of these statues. These statues depict Mario, Peach, Goomba, and Bowser as they appear asplayable characters inSuper Mario Party Jamboree. There are both colored and golden versions of these statues, with the golden versions of Peach, Mario, and Bowser statues being unlocked via the King Bowser’s Keep Missions.
Super Mario Party Jamboree’s receptionis a lot better than most entries in the franchise. Nintendo and NDCube’s entries have been rather divisive ever since the release ofMario Party 8, with the scores of each title gradually slipping as each new game was released.Super Mario Party Jamboree, while also having a much higher average score than past entries, became the best-ratedMario Partytitle on OpenCritic. It has also been a rather big hit, being one of the best-selling games of October 2024.
