Some characters have alternate animations for their punch, most noticeably Peach and Daisy, who have an open-hand slap instead. Yoshi had a headbutt in the Nintendo 64 Mario Party games, but it was changed to a punch for the GameCube and Wii installments. Birdo had a slapping animation similar to Peach and Daisy in Mario Party 7, but it was changed to the same punch animation as Yoshi's in Mario Party 8.
