First Mario Party game released on the Nintendo GameCube.
It was to be followed by 3 sequels on the GameCube: Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6, and Mario Party 7.
The first Mario Party game in the series to be released in North America before Japan. It's also the only Mario Party game to feature pre-rendered cutscenes.
The first game in the Mario franchise to feature Princess Daisy's current design.
In the Order Up mini-game, in all versions of the game there is a poster with the caption 'Kinopio Burger'. As Kinopio is Toad's Japanese name, this is a detail that was overlooked during localization.
