This, combined with the fact that the Nintendo 64’s joystick is small, vaulted, and friction-prone, meant that many children who were playing at the time suffered injuries. Unfortunately, the best way to achieve this circular motion was by placing the center of the palm on the control stick and viciously turning it into a circle. The way Tug o’ War worked is that players would twirl the Nintendo 64 analog stick in a circular motion to simulate the action of pulling a rope, and the team that did this the fastest would win. Mario Party's Tug O' War Minigame Once Physically Injured Nintendo Players It makes sense that this minigame has not appeared in any Mario Party game since, but it returns to Mario Party Superstars nonetheless.

Why Nintendo decided to include this minigame is a mystery given its backstory, but the warning will hopefully serve to keep it from repeating history. And yet, after all this time, Nintendo is going to still include it in the list of Mario Party Superstars minigames, and in a way, it is a part of the franchise’s history.
It might seem baffling at first, but Nintendo has a very good reason for its inclusion that dates back to the first Mario Party.įans have already noticed the warning in the new game and are learning of the physical harm caused by the original minigame. When opening up the minigame in Superstars, players will receive a warning that tells them not to rotate the stick with the palm of their hand. Tug o’ War, a Mario Party Superstars minigame, was originally included with the original Mario Party for the Nintendo 64 and caused Nintendo real monetary damages. Mario Party Superstars comes out in less than a week, and one of the more surprising aspects of the new release isn’t missing content, it’s a minigame that Nintendo has had enough problems with in the past to issue a warning about how to play it properly.
