Since its launch in October 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree has achieved significant critical and commercial success, securing the top spot on Japan's sales charts at the start of 2025. This family-friendly multiplayer party game has surpassed numerous major releases to become the best-selling Nintendo title in Japan during the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025.

Super Mario Party Jamboree, the latest addition to the beloved Mario Party series, introduces new game boards, modes, and playable characters, blending classic gameplay with innovative mechanics. This mix has been well-received by both new and veteran fans, who particularly appreciate the game's extensive roster of iconic characters and new multiplayer modes accommodating up to 20 players. After topping US sales charts in October 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree continues its upward trajectory in Japan.

According to data from the Japanese gaming news outlet Famitsu, Super Mario Party Jamboree has now sold over one million units, with a total of 1,071,568 units sold in Japan as of January 5, 2025. Impressively, 117,307 units were sold during the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025 alone. This strong performance places it above major releases such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the weekly sales charts.

Ultimate, marking a significant achievement for the popular party game.

While Super Mario Party Jamboree trails behind other major titles in total lifetime sales in Japan, its recent performance is remarkable, selling three times as many units as Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, which secured the second spot on the charts. Additionally, Jamboree outsold Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time, by a ratio of seven to one during the same period. The sustainability of Super Mario Party Jamboree's position at the top of Japan's sales charts is yet to be determined, and the potential impact of the upcoming Switch successor console on current Switch titles is a subject of much speculation.

The enduring appeal of the Mario Party franchise is evident, as classics like the original Mario Party and Mario Party 2 continue to attract players through their availability on Nintendo Switch Online. With Super Mario Party Jamboree maintaining strong sales, fans eagerly await any updates on the game's future milestones.
