Kicking off 2025 with a bang, this family-friendly multiplayer party game has surged to the top of the Japanese sales charts, outperforming a slew of major releases.

The latest installment in the cherished Mario Party series, Super Mario Party Jamboree brings to the table new game boards, innovative modes, and a broader selection of playable characters.

The game has been lauded for its expansive roster of iconic characters and the introduction of new multiplayer modes that support up to 20 players. After topping the US sales charts in October 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree continues its impressive run in Japan.

According to Famitsu, a leading Japanese gaming news outlet, Super Mario Party Jamboree has claimed the top spot on Japan's sales charts. The game has surpassed the one million sales mark, with a total of 1,071,568 units sold as of January 5, 2025. Remarkably, it sold 117,307 units during the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, outperforming heavy hitters like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This achievement is all the more impressive considering Super Mario Party Jamboree even outpaced some of the best-selling Nintendo Switch titles of all time, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros.

While Super Mario Party Jamboree trails behind other major titles in lifetime sales in Japan, it impressively sold three times as many units as Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, which secured the second spot. It also outsold Minecraft, the all-time best-selling video game, by a ratio of seven to one. The question remains whether Super Mario Party Jamboree can maintain its number one position, especially with the looming announcement of the Nintendo Switch's successor potentially impacting sales of current Switch titles.

The enduring appeal of the Mario Party franchise is evident, with classics like the original Mario Party and Mario Party 2 gaining renewed popularity through ports to Nintendo Switch Online. As Super Mario Party Jamboree continues to achieve strong sales, fans eagerly anticipate any future updates or milestones for this beloved series.
