Nintendo Monopoly is aNintendo-themed adaptation of the classic board gameMonopoly. It features not only characters of theSuper Mario franchise such asMario,Luigi,Donkey Kong,Yoshi, andWario but also other Nintendo protagonists such asLink,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, whereasStars ("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.

- Bowser is shown on the box, and he is mentioned on a ? Block card, but he does not make an appearance in the game itself.
- The game photo montage in the center of the 2006 board includes a picture fromSuper Mario 64; this shot is from aprototype, as evidenced in the colored number displays.
