Keeping up with Super Mario Bros. franchise history of Dub Name Changes for Woolseyism purposes, the Mario Party series abounds with name changes.
Some general notes:
- Several Party Mode boards across the series have Theme Naming after various Japanese onomatopoeias or similarly snappy reduplicated words in the Japanese versions. Since these terms do not translate very well abroad, the localizations ignore these words and go with their own themes instead.
- Name changes where the only change to the name is a term for a franchise mainstay (such as Koopa to Bowser and Jugemu to Lakitu) being replaced with a consistently used international name will not be listed here.
