Changes
- Toadstool Titan is now referred to as "Mush Pit".
- Many minigames do not retain their original music, instead using either other tracks from the same game or different games in general. For example, Speed Hockey uses the Mario Party 3 music track "Nice and Easy", instead of the track "Keepin' on the Path".
- Objects in minigames (i.e. the balls in Bumper Balls) no longer use the character's personal color, instead using red, blue, green and yellow based on the player number color.
- Players can skip CPU actions in certain minigames.
- The Piranha Plant in Piranha's Pursuit is replaced with Petey Piranha.
- The Bowser Suit of the lone player in Tug o' War has a Bowser face attached to it, with the character's head poking out.
- The Shy Guy in Shy Guy Says does not have a jacket or eyepatch, though his pirate hat is still retained.
- The platforms in Hexagon Heat have different shapes imprinted on their surfaces, most likely to assist those with colorblindness.
- The rules for Dizzy Dancing have changed. Now instead of just getting to the musical symbol to clear the game, players try to collect as many as possible.
- Minigames from Mario Party 2 that have alternate variations only use one set variation.
- Similarly, minigames from Mario Party 6 only take place during the day.
- The song "Going for the Coins" from Mario Party 2 was given a new name, "Take the Coin".
- A Mega Mushroom replaces the regular Mushroom in Toadstool Titan, which has been renamed Mush Pit. A new Mega Mushroom remix is used instead of the regular invincibility music as well.
- The Beat Goes On starts with only two drums instead of four.
- It can also be noted that the minigame’s signature theme has been changed.
- A Goomba replaces Boo in Three Door Monty.
- Piranha Plants do not appear in Vine With Me.
- The Mario Party 3 minigame tracks are referred to by their names in the Mario Party 3 Original Soundtrack as opposed to their localised, in-game names.
- Koopa Troopas replace Shy Guys in Blame it on the Crane.
- Fishin' Lakitus replace Klepto in Paths of Peril.
- The Koopa Kids in The Final Battle! have been replaced by Bowser Jr.
- The Shy Guys in Rocky Road have been replaced by Toad and Toadette.
- Balloon Busters now eliminates players one at a time instead of three at once, making it more similar to the Mario Party DS minigame Short Fuse.

- The minigame victory theme from Mario Party 8 has been updated to become finite.
- Badminton Bash can only be played in singles.
