Part of the fun of any Mario Party game is finding someone you love to play from Mario’s long history of lovable characters. Super Mario Party Jamboree has 20 characters unlocked from the get-go, giving you plenty of choices for who you want to dominate the board with. However, there are two characters you have to unlock separately: Pauline and Ninji. If you want to play as either of them, you’re in luck, as we’ll tell you how to unlock them below.
How to unlock Pauline and Ninji in Super Mario Party Jamboree
You don’t need to make any major progress in Super Mario Party Jamboree to unlock Pauline and Ninji. Instead, you simply need to enter the giant hot air balloon in the Party Plaza–the same one you use to access game modes.
Normally, you’d use L and R to cycle through game modes while you’re in the hot air balloon, but you can actually gain full control over the camera. Once you’re up in the air and scouting out locations, just use the left stick to move around freely.
