Nintendo Monopoly is a Nintendo-themed adaptation of the classic board game Monopoly . It features not only characters of the Super Mario franchise such as Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario but also other Nintendo protagonists such as Link, Samus, Kirby, and various others. It was released in July 2006.[citation needed]
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.
In 2010, a revised edition of the game was released.[1] Although the core game is relatively unchanged in this update, several artistic tweaks were made. The artwork was revised, and the board no longer includes a collage of screenshots. Rather, a lineup of characters is displayed across the board instead.

Other changes to the 2010 version[edit ]
- The purple property group (Waluigi and Wario) was changed to brown.
- The 1-Up Mushroom space no longer gives players the option to pay 10% of their money.
- The Treasure Chest Deposit space now costs 100ドル. The artwork was also changed from Wario's treasure to a coin.
- The dollar value of the Coin Block cards Player's Choice Award, Organize a Mario Party and Renew Kart License were decreased.
- The game's box incorrectly implies that the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda is "Zelda's Sword." In fact, Zelda never wields the sword. The box was later changed to say "Link's Sword" because Link is actually the one who uses the Master Sword.
