* DropTheHammer: In the minigame Bash 'n' Cash, one of the characters is disguised as Bowser. The other three must use their hammers to attack them and take away their coins. The Bowser-disguised character doesn't have a hammer, and cannot take away the other players' coins even if they stomp them, so it's a test of endurance for the solo character.

''Mario Party'' is a video game developed by Creator/HudsonSoft and published by Creator/{{Nintendo}} for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 in 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else. It's the first installment in the ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' series.

This game was never released on the UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole likely due to legal issues surrounding some of its minigames requiring the control stick to spun rapidly. However, in November 2022, this game finally saw its first ever re-release as a part of Nintendo Switch Online’s library of Nintendo 64 games.

** In the minigame Desert Dash, two teams race in a straight course while avoiding the stomps of a Thwomp. In each team, one of the players has to move a step by tilting the contro, stick to the left, while the other does by tilting it to the right (and as they do so, they must take turns, so mutual timing is key to reach the goal quickly).

* EternalEngine: Luigi's Engine Room is a mechanical board with advanced machinery whose main gimmick revolves around color-coded doors (red and blue) that open and close respectively at the start of every turn or when a character lands on certain Event Spaces, thus requiring the players to [[TogglingSetpiecePuzzle work around said doors (with either luck or strategy) to devise the route to the Star's current position]]. The advanced tech of the board is also lampshaded, as the announcer says "This is the Engine Room, but what kind of Engine Room is it? I have absolutely no idea!"; the mystery of what the machinery is exactly powering up isn't solved until someone becomes the Super Star (it turns out that the engine is powering a flying machine of some kind).

* DeathMountain: Wario's Battle Canyon is a board located in the middle of a mountainous landscape. The board is divided into five colored plateaus (orange, yellow, green, blue and pale beige), and the ones located in the quadrants have each a functional cannon that takes a player to a different plateau (the segments are physically unconnected). The plateau at the center (which can only be reached by paying a Fly Guy) hosts Bowser, whose cannon isn't used in gameplay (Bowser throws away the caught character on his own, and ''still'' forces them to pay a fee).

* ExcusePlot: The game has all the Mario characters compete with each other to solve major problems in order to determine who is the "Super Star". Again, by partying. It eventually ends with you unlocking a secret board and trying to recover the broken pieces of the Eternal Star, with Bowser trying to stop you at all costs with his minions. Bring out the party.

* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: The Nintendo Switch Online version of this game comes with a warning that advises you not to use your palm to spin the control stick.

* JungleJapes: DK's Jungle Adventure is a board that is located within the dense jungle where Donkey Kong lives. It is divided into two major areas connected via two wooden bridges (one heading from west to east in the south and the other heading from east to west in the north; both are one-way only). Some Thwomps guard the board's junctions, and will only let a player pass if the latter pays 10 coins. Several monuments shaped like banana bunches can be seen in the north.

* EternalEngine: Luigi's Engine Room. Lampshaded, as the announcer says "This is the Engine Room, but what kind of Engine Room is it? I have absolutely no idea!"; the mystery of what the machinery is exactly powering up isn't solved until someone becomes the Super Star (it turns out that the engine is powering a flying machine of some kind).
