- Best Boss Ever: Frightmare is a genuinely challenging boss split into four different segments, culminating in a showdown against a gigantic Bowser that ends with him getting sucked into a black hole!
- Scrappy Mechanic: This game introduced the capsule system, but unlike later installments, each capsule is handed out at random by the capsule machine rather than being bought. Because all of the capsules were meant to create board events, this often means the board gets so full of events that turns can slow to a crawl. You can also be damaged by your own capsules.
- Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer:
- Super Duel Mode is a special feature that has you build a Cool Car to use in combat against other players. The catch is that you must grind some points from playing mini-games in Party Mode if you want better parts for your machine.
- Card Party is widely considered a very solid variation on the main mode, with surprisingly detailed rules and strategies to figure out.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Of the playable characters, Boo is the only one without any role in the Story Mode. The returning seven characters are potential protagonists, Toad becomes an NPC ally for 2v2 minigames, and the Koopa Kids split into three to serve as the rivals.
