- “It looks like allies stick around for three turns. Pretty handy, huh? But watch out! If an opponent passes you, your ally will go with them. So keep your eyes peeled, and don't let anyone pass you!”
- —Toad, Super Mario Party Jamboree
Jamboree Buddies are NPCs in Super Mario Party Jamboree that assist the player with their unique abilities. 10 of the 22 playable characters appear as Jamboree Buddies, appearing somewhere on the board. By running into a Jamboree Buddy, a Showdown minigame is initiated to recruit them into the winner's team, with the player who initiated the minigame starting with a slight advantage. Tied players will enter a "Tie-Break Dice" event where the Jamboree Buddy goes to the player that rolls the higher number.
Each Jamboree Buddy has a unique ability during board gameplay to help their owner. Additionally, all of them cause board actions to happen twice, such as gaining or losing coins, buying items or Stars, and even Boos and Bowser Spaces. When obtained, the Jamboree Buddy lasts for three turns (including the turn when they are obtained). Other players may also steal the buddy by passing by the player who currently owns them.[1] If no player reaches the Jamboree Buddy within three turns, they will be removed from the board.[2] Rosalina will not appear as a Jamboree Buddy if minigames with motion controls are turned off due to her Showdown minigame having motion controls. In Free Play, Showdown Minigame Battle and Party-Planner Trek, characters can encounter and recruit a monochrome imposter of themselves as a Jamboree Buddy (where applicable).
