** The Wii U Virtual Console rerelease of ''4'' removes the two-player modes in ''Boxing'' and ''Donkey Kong 3''. After you get all the stars in all the other games, you will be credited with the unattainable stars and treated to the cast credits.

* UnintentionallyUnwinable: In order to complete the museum of ''3'', one needs to get 5 stars in every mode for each game. One of these is Game B of ''Judge'', which instead of a harder version, is a 2-player version. Unfortunately, the 3DS Virtual Console Game Boy games cannot do so, leading the game to being uncompletable.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' series. The ''Modern'' versions of the games feature Mario characters playing minigames, which would become the series' staple.

** ''2'': Wario is playable in ''Helmet'' through an EasterEgg and Princess Peach is the main character in ''Chef''. ''Ball'' also has unlockable characters in Wario and Bowser.
** ''3'': Toad is the central character in ''Turtle Bridge'' and Donkey Kong Jr. is playable in his namesake game. Luigi—a background character in ''Chef'' from ''2''—returns to being playable in ''Mario Bros.''

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: In the modern remake of ''Rain Shower'', Princess Peach is a possible victim of Bowser's paint balloons.

* ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'', which was released for the Game Boy Color and contains the titles ''Egg'', ''Green House'', ''Turtle Bridge'', ''Mario Bros.'', and ''Donkey Kong Jr.''
* ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' (''Game & Watch Gallery Advance'' in Europe and Australia), which was released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance and contains the titles ''Fire'', ''Boxing'', ''Rain Shower'', ''Mario's Cement Factory'', ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', and ''Donkey Kong 3''. ''Chef'', ''Mario Bros.'', ''Donkey Kong'', ''Octopus'' and ''Fire Attack'' are also featured as unlockable games.

** Luigi in ''Boxing''.

** Toad in ''Turtle Bridge''.

** Peach shows little concern over Mario injuring himself in the AttractMode for ''Donkey Kong'', ignoring him in favor of cheering the guy who ''caused'' said injury.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** The ability to suspend play by pausing and turning off the power. Earning 1,000 points can take roughy a half an hour if successful on the first try, so this was a welcome feature.
** Two Classic modes in ''3'' reduce the number of points necessary for stars. In ''Flagman'', five points are needed per star so you can max out at 25 points. You get a star for every 20 points in ''Judge'', and getting the maximum score of 99 rewards you with five stars.
** In classic versions of ''Manhole'', the central character can only possess one cover at a time, and allowing pedestrians to walk over an open hole is an immediate miss. In the modern version from the first ''Gallery'', Yoshi is provided with covers for all four holes which he can bring up each time a pedestrian walks on one. Yoshi can also avoid a miss by saving a pedestrian in mid-fall.
** In the original ''Mario's Cement Factory'', the moving platforms were lethal if you weren't immediately on their level when trying to board them, falling right through any other platforms that might be on the screen at the time, which could get ridiculous if the platform was about to rise and you just pressed the button a tiny bit too early. In the Modern version, jumping down onto a platform ''below'' you is possible and you won't take damage.

** ''2'': Wario is playable in ''Helmet'' through an EasterEgg and Princess Peach is the main character in ''Chef''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' series.

* IAteWhat: In ''Rain Shower'', this is Yoshi's reaction when a paint balloon explodes in his mouth.

* SuddenlyVoiced: ''4'' is the only time that Mr. Game & Watch has ever talked.

* AdaptedOut: Peach replaces Pauline in the Modern version of ''Donkey Kong'' while Mario replaces Stanley in the Modern versions of ''Greenhouse'' and ''Donkey Kong 3''.

* AnachronismStew: [[spoiler:The Cast Credits in ''4'' feature the Modern and Classic characters interacting with each other]].
