Reviews of the card game are decently positive. {{wp|IGN}}'s Craig Harris rated the game 8.0, saying that the game is "easy to pick up and play", while suggesting that if Nintendo made booster packs that maximize the fun by adding more challenges, and utilizing the e-Reader, it would be a welcome addition. <ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Harris, Craig|date=February 25, 2003|url=www.ign.com/articles/2003/02/25/mario-party-e|title=''Mario Party-e'' Review|publisher=IGN|accessdate=August 9, 2024}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*This is the only video game in which Daisy is playable but not Peach. It is also the only ''Mario Party'' game where Luigi is not playable, making Mario and Yoshi the only two playable characters to be playable in every ''Mario Party'' game.
**This is also the final game to use Daisy's original design that first appeared in ''Super Mario Land'', as her redesign from ''Mario Party 4'' onwards would become the standard for appearances after this game.
*This is the only non-arcade ''Mario Party'' game that is absent from the "history" section of the official Mario Portal website,<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/index.html|title=History|publisher=Mario Portal website|language=en|accessdate=August 9, 2024}}</ref> possibly due to it having only released in North America (as the section is ordered by Japanese release date).
==Notes==
{{footnote|note|a|''Mario Party-e'' can be played without the [[e-Reader]] accessory, but the accessory is required to play any of the 11 minigames.}}
