Summary

The pre-order bonuses for the upcoming Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch have finally been revealed, which include a tote bag, a party tin, or a keychain, depending on the retailer. Currently, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target are the only stores confirmed to be offering free gifts alongside Super Mario Party Jamboree, and each store offers a different item.
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the newest entry in the long-running Mario Party series, which pits players against each other on a virtual game board as they compete in minigames and fight to earn stars. While Jamboree is much of the same formula, it will reportedly boast over 110 minigames, many of which are brand new to the series, and some new characters, including Pauline from Super Mario Odyssey.
Mario Party Developer Changes Its Name
The developers behind the Mario Party series announce a change in the studio's name to something more reflective of its parent company.
Since known insider Wario64 revealed the pre-order bonuses for the game on Twitter, fans can take a look at the free gifts they can get when it releases alongside the stores that will provide each one. Best Buy customers will receive a free canvas tote bag featuring key art from the game, GameStop will offer a keychain modeled after a Mario Party dice block, and Target will offer a metal party tin themed after the game, but only for customers who buy the game in-store.
Super Mario Party Jamboree Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed
In any case, there are a few incentives for fans to secure their copy of Super Mario Party Jamboree, especially for those who enjoy collecting exclusive merchandise for the games they play. Nintendo has offered similar bonuses in the past as well for its other games, like the upcoming Mario and Luigi: Brothership steelbook available to certain fans who pre-order the game.
Of course, the game already has plenty to offer to justify a pre-order even without the free gifts, as Super Mario Party Jamboree promises to continue the traditional Mario Party formula while adding some new elements to the mix. Along with its 110 minigames and new characters, the game will also feature a series-first 20-player online mode called Koopathlon, which will see players race against time to win as many minigames as possible.
Currently, it is unknown whether other retailers will offer similar pre-order bonuses for the game, as Walmart, Amazon and the Nintendo online store have held similar promotions in the past for previous games. Regardless, fans will be able to see what Super Mario Party Jamboree has in store for them when the game officially launches on October 17.
