Nintendo Monopoly

Nintendo Monopoly is a board game based on the classic game Monopoly featuring Nintendo characters such as Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link, Samus Aran, Kirby, and various others. It was released in July of 2006.

In the game, Nintendo characters are used as properties. Super Mushrooms (referred to as "Power-Ups" in-game) are used in place of houses, whereas Stars ("Invincibilities") take the place of hotels.

2010 Edition


In 2010, a revised edition of the game was released. Although the core game is relatively unchanged in this update, several artistic tweeks were made. The artwork has been revised, and the board no longer includes a collage of screenshots. Rather, a lineup of characters is displayed across the board instead. Standard houses and hotels are used in this version, although the instructions still acknowledges them as Power-Ups and Invincibles.

Tokens
All of the tokens from the old version were replaced with the following:
 * Mushroom
 * Star
 * (written as Zelda's Sword on the back of the game box.)
 * Samus' Helmet
 * Captain Olimar's Rocket (written as Pikmin's Ship on the back of the game box.)
 * Gyroid

Several spaces on the board have been changed; most notably, the light blue Star Fox properties have been replaced with characters from the Animal Crossing series. The new spaces include:


 * Oriental Avenue – Rosie the Cat
 * Vermont Avenue – K.K. Slider
 * Connecticut Avenue – Tom Nook
 * Pennsylvania Railroad – Gunship
 * St. James Place – Morph Ball
 * B&O Railroad – Pikmin Onion
 * Pacific Avenue –
 * Short Line Railroad –
 * Community Chest – Block

The purple property group (Waluigi and Wario) has been changed to brown. Also, the Treasure Chest Deposit space now features a Coin instead of Wario's Treasures.

Trivia

 * Bowser is shown on the box, and he is mentioned on a Coin Block card, but he does not make an appearance in the game itself.
 * The only series from the original Super Smash Bros. that are not featured in Nintendo Monopoly are Pokémon and EarthBound. However, a separate Pokémon Monopoly was already made, and EarthBound was most likely left out due to its obscurity outside of Japan.
 * The game photo montage in the center of the board includes a picture from Super Mario 64; strangely, this shot is from a prototype, as evidenced in the colored number displays.
