It is. Shouldn't the minigame puns be somewhere else?[[User:Mechayoshi]]

Some of this just seems like fan dreams. Pauline? I'm fixing this up for now, but uhh. Feel free to correct me. [[User:Evan|Evan]]

I have seen no evidence of a Mario Party 8 (yet) where is this info coming from? -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

It has been confirmed now that there will be a Mario Party 8 in 2007. It's even at [http://www.IGN.com IGN]! <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''aper '''Jorge'''</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Paper Jorge|Talk]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Paper Jorge|Contributions]]<tt>&middot;</tt></small>) '''Paper Jorge''' was here at... 19:34, 18 September 2006 (EDT)

Mario Party 8 is currently the Mario Party game with most playable characters (both starter and secret characters), which is a total of fourteen characters. However, Mario Party 10 has a chance of breaking this record. Reply if Mario Party 10 has been released, and count the number of playable characters there. If more than 15, reply to me that Mario Party 10 is now breaking the most playable characters record. [[Special:Contributions/110.136.242.104|110.136.242.104]] 09:10, 28 August 2014 (EDT)
 :Actually i realized that there are 15 characters in Mario Party 8 if it counts Miis for the Extra Mode. My IP is [[Special:Contributions/180.249.2.197|180.249.2.197]] 05:24, 29 August 2014 (EDT) but i am the same person.

I'm confused. Are names supposed to be linked once in the article and once in a pic? --[[User:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:green">Yoshi</span>''']][[User talk:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:black">626</span>''']][[Image:MKDD Yoshi Egg.png|20px]] 23:21, 2 January 2007 (EST)

== Blooper's Appearance ==

Does anybody know if blooper appearance will be the standard blooper pictured in the blooper article or gooper blooper?I Hope It's the standard blooper.--[[User:Fg|Fg]] 18:56, 16 January 2007 (EST)

Currently it's a normal Blooper. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

==Yoshi Pic==
Could somebody please add a pic of [[Yoshi]], there is just about everyone except him. [[User:YoshiFan|YoshiFan]] 23:42, 3 February 2007 (EST) [[User:YoshiFan|A Yoshi-loving user]]

What about Blooper, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, and Birdo. There aren't any pics for them either.--{{User:Aipom/sig}}--

:I always thought that [[:Image:YoshiSmiling8.PNG|this]] was the Yoshi art... --[[User:YellowYoshi398|YellowYoshi398]] 23:50, 3 February 2007 (EST)

Well, I did not know about it. [[User:YoshiFan|YoshiFan]] 23:53, 3 February 2007 (EST) [[User:YoshiFan|A confused fan of Yoshi.]]

:I can't say that I'm even sure right now... I'm pretty sure that image was referred to as the Yoshi art when it was in use, but I've also noticed that it's on that [[:Image:Nintenopoly.jpg|Nintendo Monopoly board]], which came out two years ago. Mario Party 8 still isn't even out yet, which gives me doubts... [[User:Paper Jorge|Paper Jorge]] uploaded it; maybe he knows. --[[User:YellowYoshi398|YellowYoshi398]] 23:59, 3 February 2007 (EST)

::Never mind. He must know; he's added it to the article. Thanks, Paper Jorge! --[[User:YellowYoshi398|YellowYoshi398]] 00:00, 4 February 2007 (EST)

== Candy Names! ==

I heard from a website (once again, forgot. Sorry!) that the Vampire and Airplane candies were called Wingo and Whirlo candies, respectfully. Should I add those names or wait until it's confirmed? [[User: Maxlover2]]

:Wait, as you can't site a source. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Sorry!

It's confired! It says so in Nintendo Power. [[Image:MayorPenguinPM.png]]<span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span> {{{1|}}}

confired? what's that? [[User:Maxlover2|Maxlover2]] 20:22, 19 February 2007 (EST) I'm confused. really. did you mean confirmed?

Yeah, I think he did.'''Smileymiley5001'''

== Character Artwork ==

Does anybody know where they got the artwork for the characters in mario party 8, and why didn't you add birdo, dry bones,hammer bro., blooper?--[[User:Fg|Fg]] 16:22, 15 February 2007 (EST)

:My guess is because they're unlockable, and Nintendo doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters. {{User:Monty Mole/sig}}

But, it shows Birdo and Dry Bones in the character selection screen in a movie on YouTube. [[User:YoshiFan|YoshiFan]]

Regardless, where did those images come from? --[[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]]

I said '''Nintendo''' doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters. Youtube lets anything on. {{User:Monty Mole/sig}}

:Actually, your wrong Monty Mole. In ''Mario Kart DS'', they released artwork for every character, including unlockable ones. How about ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', ''StarFox Command'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and I'm sure theres more. However, I do not think that there is artwork for ''MP8''. Possibly though. And yes, I would like to know where you got the artwork. --[[User:Bentendo|Bentendo]] 17:11, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Wait a minute! i saw on wikipedia on the Mario Party 8 page they showed the character selection and it had [[Birdo]] and [[Dry Bones]] there and two ? marks for [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]]! (P.S They have deleted it for some reason. By the way my username is [Super Yoshi 10])

== Mario Party 8 Gets a Make-over ==

There is a new version of the boxart of Mario Party 8. Go to your nearest GameStop or EB Games to see it: It has only Mario and Luigi with the carnival background. No other characters. Dang, and you thought the old boxart was bad? <big> '''[[Thief Wario|Silent but deadly!]]''' '''Super'''''[[User:Super Luigi 821|Luigi]]'''''821''''' '''''[[Fracktail|You lost everything. Way to go genious.]]''' </big>

*Dang, I can't find the new box art anywhere...are you sure it's official? I bet it's just store made... [[User: Fixitup]]

::No idea if it's storemade but you can find it at EB Games/Gamespot. <big> '''[[Thief Wario|Silent but deadly!]]''' '''Super'''''[[User:Super Luigi 821|Luigi]]'''''821''''' '''''[[Fracktail|You lost everything. Way to go genious.]]''' </big>

==Sorry==
Samantha Kelly acted as Peach for this game. (And maybe Toad and Toadette but this uncomfirmed.)[[User:Princess Butterfly|Princess Butterfly]] 15:29, 17 November 2007 (EST)
:May I have some proof, please. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

== Team Names ==

Are they really neccesary? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}
:The only way I'd include them is a table, I've tried to implement one, but there are just too many characters. So I don't really see a place for them. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 06:25, 21 November 2007 (EST)
::I mean, do they really have to be here at all? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}
:::That's what I was saying: Either as a table, or not at all. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 06:27, 21 November 2007 (EST)
::::Oh, OK. I think we should get more opinions before we remove the list. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

Yes, they are nessecary because for me, they are a very important part of the game. Even more important than the Star Battle. Yeah. All I do is Tag Mode with my friends.
'''Smileymiley5001'''
P.S. I mean this with no offense at all.

==Proof==
At then end of Mario party 8 when the credits roll the person whom play as Peach it show Sam Kelly I didn't see Ms. Mills. [[User:Princess Butterfly|Princess Butterfly]] 15:19, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I agree 'bout the table the teams names would look better in a table. [[User:Princess Butterfly|Princess Butterfly]] 16:06, 25 November 2007 (EST)

== Needs Improvements ==

Maybe it's just me, but this whole article sounded more like an opinional review with terms like "cool new boards" and such; but I fixed the most noticable problems there. The problem is, the article needs to be overlooked and tweaked. I found little errors everywhere, such as the use of 'you' instead of 'player' and incomplete sentences. It isn't that bad, but for how long the game's been out, someone should overlook this and do minor edits here and there. I do not own the game and don't want to do anymore than I have to. [[User:Kelt|General Kelt]]

:I actually gotta agree. {{User:MegaMario9910/sig}} I don't have the game either. And I don't wanna do it, since I just got into a "Flame War" someplace, so I'm kinda feeling bad...

::Hope you feel better bud. Remember, it's just on online fight with someone sitting at their computer and shouldn't be capable of hurting you in any way, even if it does cause emotional pain. [[User:Kelt|General Kelt]]

:::Good point. {{User:MegaMario9910/sig}} Thanks.

== Fact or Opinion? ==

In this sentence: "The game is more notable than its prequels for its strong use of the Wii Remote in minigames.", is that a fact or an opinion? {{User:MegaMario9910/sig}}

That seems like more of a fact because it explains why it would be more notable. {{User:Jaffffey/sig}}

== Candy Names ==

Hello. I just wanted to ask if Thrice is a real word. For example "Thrice Candy" Is in the game. Answers Please! [[User:Mariofan459]] 11:00, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
:[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thrice Yes], though it's dated. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 11:20, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

==Critical Reception Section?==
Is that really necessary?

{{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}}

I don't think many other articles on here have one, so I don't think it is. --[[User:Turkishcoffee|Turkishcoffee]] 01:47, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

:I do think so. Such sections fit perfectly into an encyclopedia. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 06:20, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
::It's always good to have "real world" information about a game, including development and reception. More articles would need that. At least four of the featured game articles have a reception section. But the bad about this article's section is that I don't see any citations. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 07:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
:::Both of those are really good points. --[[User:Turkishcoffee|Turkishcoffee]] 08:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

==Puns==
Why do we have a puns section? I thought it was the '''minigame''' section at first
>:( I think its completly irrelevant. To put it in a polite way, I don't think many people care about puns.
{{User:Booderdash/sig|.}}
:Actually, the puns section probably shouldn't be there since each mini-game page states what the game name pun is. =/ {{User|Garlic Stapler}}
::But do people want to go to each mini-game page to see it? No. Besides, it's trivia. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:::It's Trivia for the individual mini-games though, not the game in general. We don't list the name origins of areas & enemies and whatnot in other game articles either, even if they're puns, and it seems rational to me to expect someone to visit a subject's article if they want to know details like this about the subject.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 18:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

It should be because it's ''trivia'' about the minigames. That's my point of view anyway.
'''Smileymiley5001'''

I'd like to point out that very few of the listed entries are actually puns.  Most of them are simply references and double entendres.  [[User:Twentydragon|Twentydragon]] 06:50, 10 December 2011 (EST)

== Team name chart ==

Is there any way to fix the team name chart so it doesn't expand the page width? {{User:Yoshiwaker/sig}}

== Why did they have Kamek say spastic? ==

The word "spastic" is technically not a bad word, but the UK would say it's highly offensive. Not all people that play it are made fun of because their disability, but [[Kamek]]'s not referring to a disabled person, but a train!?!? I probably say that he's referring to the train not a disabled person due to the fact that if he made fun of a disabled it would get a T, M or AO by the [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]].
==[[User:Unshy Guy|Unshy Guy]]==([[User talk:Unshy Guy|Talk]])
:Yes he was talking about the train, but the word is still considered offensive no matter who it is aimed at. {{User|Yoshi876}}

== Team names ==
Blooper and Hammer Bro's Team Columns are swapped, because Bloopsie-Daisy doesn't have anything to do with Hammer Bro. {{User|Davey}}

== Star Battle and Duel Battle ==

There are a lot of sections in this article that say, "This is exclusive to Star Battle" when it is also in a regular Duel Battle.  Shouldn't this be changed to "This is exclusive to Duel Battle"?  After all, Star Battle is just six Duel Battles and a Boss Battle. -[[User:YoshiFlutterJump|YoshiFlutterJump]] ([[User talk:YoshiFlutterJump|talk]]) 17:58, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
:I haven't played the game in a while, so my memory may be fuzzy, but I remember some things being exclusive to Star Battle and some being exclusive to Duel Battle. Regardless, if it's in two different modes, then the information is incorrect and should be corrected/removed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:37, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
::Okay.  I just need to play a Duel Battle to make sure, then I will fix it.  Thanks! -[[User:YoshiFlutterJump|YoshiFlutterJump]] ([[User talk:YoshiFlutterJump|talk]]) 18:41, 18 April 2017 (EDT)

== MP8 - Save file icon ==

Why does the save file have different icons? [[User:Revilime|Revilime]] ([[User talk:Revilime|talk]]) 10:32, 26 July 2017 (EDT)

== 50 Hz ==

I noticed that my copy of the game only supports 50Hz. Do we know if this is applied to all copies of the game or just some versions, and if the game only runs in 50 Hz should this be mentioned in the article? [[User:Trainer Alex|Trainer Alex]] ([[User talk:Trainer Alex|talk]]) 13:23, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
:From my knowledge, Japanese and American versions use the 60Hz signal, while European versions generally use 50Hz. This particular game, though, slows down gameplay a teensy bit in 50Hz, which can make some scenes out-of-sync with the music; particularly the introduction scene to [[Paint Misbehavin']]. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 14:32, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
::Yes, I actually noticed that the "Very Hard" CPUs tend to perform worse in certain minigames on my copy than they do in YouTube footage of the NTSC version (I have PAL). My theory is that since only 50 inputs can be made in the PAL version, this forces the Very Hard CPUs to not perform as well on minigames that are affected by this. [[User:Trainer Alex|Trainer Alex]] ([[User talk:Trainer Alex|talk]]) 15:29, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
:::Interesting. I've never fought any Very Hard CPUs on ''Mario Party 8'' before. This should definitely be noted in the article, but I'm not sure where it should be placed. Maybe inside a Regional differences section. Let's see what other users think about this first, though. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 16:23, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

== Controversy Section ==

I'm just wondering, if the controversy section doesn't belong on the main page, where exactly should it go? Just because it's historical information doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be covered on the Wiki somewhere. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 21:10, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
:[[List of Mario-related controversies|We have a page for just that]], which already mentions Mario Party 8 on it. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 21:13, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
::To be honest I have to agree with MarioComix here, I see no reason why it shouldn’t be mentioned on this page considering this is the game it’s about.  Unless of course there was some discussion on the forums and/or discord about this that I don’t know about :P [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 21:24, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
:::I must admit that it does still seem like the sort of thing that would be suitable for this page, but I just wanted to mention the controversy page's existence. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 21:40, July 14, 2021 (EDT)

::Okay, as long as the information was still moved somewhere (i.e. to the controversy page, which I didn't know existed). And whether we want to briefly touch upon the controversy on this page and then link to the relevant section on the controversy page is a different question to ask that probably needs something consistent decided upon throughout the Wiki. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 00:27, July 15, 2021 (EDT)

:::Well now it’s back on the main page and I have to ask, why was it removed in the first place? [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 21:59, July 15, 2021 (EDT)

== Tag-Team Names in Various Languages: ==

The currently existing table is a clean way of presenting the names on the main Mario Party 8 page, and in my opinion should definitely be kept. However, as far as the inclusion of the French names in the table, there's a problem. Listing all the names of the teams in the various languages the game released in is a good idea and should be done, but they shouldn't all go in the table since the bloat would be ridiculous. So what I'd propose is making a page for the Mario Party 8 team names, and moving the list of French names to the Names in Other Languages section of that page.[[User:Drake Inferno|Drake Inferno]] ([[User talk:Drake Inferno|talk]]) 21:10, August 3, 2024 (EDT)
