The box, showing several of the represented characters.

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.

Games

The background in the middle of the board shows screenshots from several Nintendo games. The games are, from top to bottom, left to right:

2010 Edition

The 2010 box.
Clockwise from top left: Samus' Helmet, Mushroom, Hocotate Ship, Gyroid, Master Sword, Star.

In 2010, a revised edition of the game was released. Although the core game is relatively unchanged in this update, several artistic tweeks were made. The artwork has been revised, and the board no longer includes a collage of screenshots. Rather, a lineup of characters is displayed across the board instead.

Tokens

All of the tokens from the old version were replaced with the following:

Spaces

Several spaces on the board have been changed; most notably, the light blue Star Fox properties have been replaced with characters from the Animal Crossing series. The new spaces include:

  • Oriental Avenue – Rosie the Cat
  • Vermont Avenue – K.K. Slider
  • Connecticut Avenue – Tom Nook
  • Pennsylvania Railroad – Gunship
  • St. James Place – Morph Ball
  • B&O Railroad – Pikmin Onion
  • Pacific Avenue – Template:Zw
  • Short Line Railroad – Template:Zw
  • Community Chest – Block

Other Changes

  • The purple property group (Waluigi and Wario) has been changed to brown.
  • The 1-Up Mushroom space no longer gives players the option to pay 10%.
  • The Treasure Chest Deposit space now costs $100 and features a Coin instead of Wario's Treasures.

? Block Cards

  • "You saved the princess" – "SAVE THE PRINCESS"
  • Go to jail – GO TO JAIL. GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL...
  • "Jump into a Warp Pipe" –"JUMP INTO A PIPE"
  • Coin Block – ? Block
  • "Make progress on each of your games" – "START YOUR GAME OVER"
  • "You have been elected Player of the Year" – "ERASE YOUR FRIENDS' GAMES SAVES"
  • "Turn off your system before saving your game. – "TURNED OFF YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SAVING YOUR GAME."
  • "Pay Bowser tax of $15 – "BOWSER TAX. PAY $15."
  • The "Advance token to the nearest vehicle" cards now list the four vehicles on the board.

Block Cards

  • "Use the Warp Whistle" – "USE THE PIPE"
  • "Lose boss battle" – "NEW DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT IS AVAILABLE"
  • "Receive for medical services" – "FOR MEDICAL SERVICES"
  • The "Player's Choice Award" card gives the player $50 rather than $45.
  • There is an extra card based off the classic Community Chest card "You inherit $100". – "INHERIT A CASTLE"

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 that were presented in Super Smash Bros. that are not featured in Nintendo Monopoly are Pokémon, WarioWare, Fire Emblem and EarthBound. However, a separate Pokémon Monopoly was already made, whereas WarioWare, EarthBound, and Fire Emblem were most likely left out due to their overall obscurity (and Wario already being presented in the game as is).
  • 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.
  • Kirby and King Dedede are shown on the gameboard. However, their designs are taken from the anime "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!".
