Trivia
It was named #185 out of 200 of the "Greatest Games of Their Time" by EGM Issue #200 (Feb. 2006).
In a couple of the minigames, the player was required too spin the analog stick in a circle rapidly: since the most effective way of doing this was to place your palm on the controller and spin it, many players developed visible callouses. Eventually a lawsuit was filed and Nintendo opted too send out free gloves to all Mario Party owners instead of getting sued.
