''Mario Party 6'' has a total of 82 mini-games, including the Mic mini-games that cannot be accessed in the Mini-Game Mode (instead it is accessible through the Mic Mode). It has more mini-games in total than its previous installments, and it has the second most overall mini-games in the ''Mario Party'' series, being tied by ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' and beaten by ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. As all installments of the ''Mario Party'' series, the mini-games have various puns and wordplays as their names. A feature exclusive to ''Mario Party 6'' is that thirty-six mini-games can be played in either day or night. Only a few mini-games have their rules changed depending on the time of the day; most of these changes are simply aesthetic. | ''Mario Party 6'' has a total of 82 mini-games, including the Mic mini-games that cannot be accessed in the Mini-Game Mode (instead it is accessible through the Mic Mode).

*[[Brighton]], and [[Twila]] have voices in the Japanese version of the game. | |||
*In the German version of the game, the genders of Brighton and Twila are inversed. Brighton is called "Sonnja", which is derived from a female given name and Twila is called "Raimond", which derives from a male given name. This is most likely because on German, the genders for the words sun and moon are inversed, too. The sun has a feminine article while the moon has a masculine article. | |||
*The mini-game announcer voice is female from the previous two ''Mario Party'' installments in the Japanese version of the game. | |||
*In the Japanese version of the game, the minigame [[Garden Grab]] features [[turnip]]s. It was changed to a carrot in the Western version. | |||
*[[Same Is Lame]], [[Trap Ease Artist]], [[Pitifall]], and [[Trick or Tree]] are not available in the Endurance Alley in the European and Australian versions of the game. | |||
*The time limit for [[Fruit Talktail]] is 72 seconds instead of 60. | |||
*In the European and Australian versions of the game, the [[Battle Space]]s have a lightning bolt instead of an upper-case B, somewhat resembling ''[[Mario Party 2]]''s incarnation of the Battle Space. | |||
