DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL GAMES

OVERALL

• The button layout from the original GameCube titles has now been replaced with Nintendo's current button layout. Gameplay support for the Nintendo GameCube controller can still be possible if Nintendo's current console supports that.
• Redone graphics, visuals, and character animations.
• Online multiplayer for board games and mini-games.
• Online leaderboards for some of the solo mini-games in their Extras menus (ex. Mario Party 4's "Challenge Booksquirm").
• All 4 GameCube titles feature 1080p widescreen, similar to how modders use Dolphin Emulators. This will allow for more visual space in boards and mini-games. Some mini-games may even be reworked because of this.
• A mini-game shop is added for all 4 games' Mini-Game modes. You can buy the mini-games you haven't unlocked yet in the Mini-Game area. That way you don't have to constantly play a board multiple times just to unlock the mini-game you want.
  • This can also be applied to buying all the Bowser mini-games, Donkey Kong mini-games, and Battle mini-games. Even after buying the mini-games you want with your in-game currency.
• Your Miis can also be playable characters, but can't be used in the games' Story Modes.
• All the additional sounds heard in the game, but can't be played in the Options menu are added in (ex. Peach's "Mamma Mia!" from Mario Party 4. Mario's "getting eaten" sound from Mario Party 7, etc.

MARIO PARTY 4

    • (The other three lucky winners run away)
    • He shoots, he scorches!
    • Female Announcer: Finish!

• In "Bowser's Bigger Blast", the characters let out their "Defeated" screams when they get blown up.
• When you want to listen to the voices and sound effects alone, the music playing the menu is turned off.
• After making your choices in "Reversal of Fortune" (AKA "Chance Time") the characters cheer if they successfully steal stars or coins and cry if they lose their stars or coins, or if they make two other players give up their stars or coins (just like in "Mario Party 3").
