- Super Mario Party Jamboree leaked online just a week before its official release on October 17.

With less than a week until Super Mario Party Jamboree hits the shelves, there’s already a storm brewing online. Spoilers. Yes, the game has been leaked, and the internet’s ROM community is buzzing. For a game that’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious in the franchise, this is a pretty big deal.
Super Mario Party Jamboree is promising fans a lot: 22 playable characters, including returning favorites like Pauline, and a few unexpected choices like Ninji. There are also seven boards in total, two of which bring back the party nostalgia from Mario Party and Mario Party 2.

And get this—over 100 brand-new mini-games. It’s no wonder people are hyped for its October 17th release.
Some lucky folks have already gotten a sneak peek at demo kiosks set up in stores, but now, anyone with a hacked Switch or emulator can jump in on the action early, thanks to the leak.
Beware of Spoilers
The leaked ROM isn’t a first for Nintendo. Tears of the Kingdom fell victim to a similar fate, getting pirated 10 days before launch. And now, Super Mario Party Jamboree joins the club.
For those who prefer to experience their games without spoilers, it’s going to be a rough few days on the internet. Screenshots, gameplay footage—everything’s out there, making it harder to avoid than a bad dice roll in Mario Party.
That said, let’s be real. It’s Mario Party. How much can actually get spoiled here? Maybe some mini-game surprises or a few fun character moments, but it’s not exactly Tears of the Kingdom levels of plot leaks. Still, if you want to go in fresh, you might want to mute a few hashtags and dodge those forums for a bit.
What’s Coming with Jamboree?
For those who can hold out until launch day, there’s a lot to look forward to in Super Mario Party Jamboree. The 22-character roster is the biggest yet in a Mario Party game, and with co-op and competitive modes outside of the usual party mode, there’s plenty to keep you entertained.
Nintendo has already shown off a ton of gameplay footage, so even if you stay spoiler-free, you probably have a pretty good idea of what’s coming. But nothing beats that first playthrough with friends, when the mini-game chaos is fresh.
With Pauline finally stepping into the spotlight, and a bunch of familiar faces from past games making a return, it’s clear this entry is pulling out all the stops. And if you’re a fan of the classic boards from the early Mario Party titles, you’ll be happy to know that two of them are back to make you rage quit all over again.
If leaks don’t bother you and you’ve already got the ROM ready to go, I guess you’re in for an early party. For the rest of us, it’s just a few more days of dodging spoilers before we can dive in without any surprises being ruined. Super Mario Party Jamboree is almost here, and it’s looking like a wild ride, leaks or not.
