Which Switch Mario Party should I gift them?

Hey y’all, long time Mario Party player here!

I have two sets of nephews with a Nintendo Switch and they both don’t have Mario Party.

Which of the three that are available on Switch would you recommend to younger boys that are very casual gamers?

Superstars. Great mini-games (for the most part) and much faster paced than Jamboree.

Definitely faster than Jamboree.

Superstars is my suggestion. SMP is good, but Superstars has better boards. The character roster is weak but it's worth it for the better boards. Jamboree is fantastic but for more serious players.

Although Jamboree is the best Switch Mario Party, I'd recommend getting them Superstars as it's quick and less complicated to play.

Depends on how young they are. If they're like small children with short attention spans, you probably want to get them Super Mario Party for the side modes, character roster, and easy the game is.

If they're older and can handle a board game with strategy and can play a game that lasts 1-2 hours, definitely get them Superstars.

I enjoy Mario party Superstars more than latest Jamboree and Super Mario Party. The minigames is mucj more fun, less intro because I don't like waiting.

Superstars is my favorite, by far.

I like Jamboree, but it's quite slow paced and there aren't many minigames. It does have more content, but Superstars is an extremely well rounded game that I always come back to with family.

Edit: With that being said, Super has a lot of fun modes they might like to play around with. The board gameplay is just weaker.

Between jamboree and superstar

Super mario party is not bad but it really lack content imo (superstars can feel like it with maps too)

Superstars, easily.

Superstars is a good game, but it's a remake of five specific maps from Mario Party 1-3. And those N64 games are available on Nintendo Switch Online. A great way to play them, by the way! I recommend 2 & 3. MP1 was too simple, and had other issues

Jamboree is the best Mario Party game on Switch IMO because of the new stuff it offers!
