Notes[edit]

• The minigame descriptions inMario Party andMario Party 2 use the phrase "Hip Drop" despite the minigame title, whereas the move would not be called "Ground Pound" untilMario Party 3 onward.
• When the minigame is played by a CPU character of any difficulty, they always hip-drop an incorrect peg for every correct one.^{[citation needed]}
