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.

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.
