Trivia

 * If Mario is in a match, a mysterious blue Mario-type character sits in the judge's seat. This might be foreshadowing Bowser Jr. as Shadow Mario in Super Mario Sunshine.
 * In the Start Screen of the game, Daisy appears on the left side where all the villains such as Boo and Bowser are while on the right side is all the "good guys". This also happened on the box art of Mario Party 6, where she is the night side of the box with all the villains.
