*Nintendo gave away a free ''Mario Party'' glove for a time after the game's release. The reason being was that many gamers got blisters and other ailments on the palms of their hands due to the mini-games that involved spinning the Control Stick around as fast as possible (This was the reason why ''Mario Party'' wasn't released on the [[Virtual Console]]). Nintendo suggested that the gamers should use the thumb to spin the Control Stick, but this method was a lot slower than rotating with the palm of the hand. Receiving the glove required proof of purchase of the first game of the series. It is interesting to note that the glove giveaway did not surface until after the release of ''Mario Party 2'' | *Nintendo gave away a free ''Mario Party'' glove for a time after the game's release.
