Attachment The sticker on the back of the console which states "Warranty void if removed." is actually illegal. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the sticker violates the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which states that any manufacturer that charges more than $5 for their product cannot put repair restrictions on a device that it offers a warranty for. On April 9th, 2018, the FTC sent a letter to Sony, as well as Nintendo, Microsoft and Apple, who place similar stickers on their consoles and devices, giving them a 30 day warning to change their official warranty policies or face legal action.

According to an interview published by the South China Morning Post, Yoshihisa "Kowloon" Kurosawa stated that the game came to be because he wanted to make the worst game possible as a mockery to the game industry at the time, being completely dominated by Nintendo and Sega. Since Kurosawa wasn't proficient in his programming skills, he had an anonymous Enix employee help him out, with the game being made in two days.

After completion, Kurosawa made some merchandise through articles written under pseudonyms for underground gaming magazines, and set up a mail-order service to sell the game.

When asked in an interview with NintendoLife why they changed the format to include the car in this game, as well as in its predecessor, Shuichiro Nishiya explained that it was done to keep the players engaged:

"In past installments, everyone would move separately through the board. As a result, the actions of the other players often didn't affect you. You could just look at the TV screen when it was your turn and during the minigames. In Mario Party 10 though, players move together in a car, so each player's action will affect the others meaning you'll need to keep an eye on the TV screen. This way, everyone's constantly involved, and we keep the flow of the game at a good pace."

The game was planned to be released on the 64DD, but this version was cancelled. This may have been a result of the due poor sales of the add-on in Japan, and the fact that the 64DD never left the region.

The developers looked at a number of MMORPGs such as Phantasy Star Online, Ultima Online, and Final Fantasy XI for inspiration. The prior works of character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and scenario writer Kazunori Itō (Ghost in the Shell) were also an influence.

Jonas Kaerlev was concerned about bringing the game to Kickstarter, because he thought people would associate it with Donkey Kong 64, rather than other titles of the genre.

"It did worry us before we launched the Kickstarter. But we thought if we emphasized enough that we were trying to make something less like Donkey Kong 64 and more like Banjo-Kazooie or Mario 64, we thought it would be much more well-received."

Jonas also stated the lack of collect-a-thon platformers was partially because of Rare's Donkey Kong 64 game.

"I don't want to blame it all on Donkey Kong 64, but it's partially at fault. Donkey Kong 64 did a lot of things wrong, in that it was very tedious to collect everything in order to move on. A lot of people don't want that. They want to be able to breeze through the game if they so desire, but there are also people who want to collect everything, and get stronger and better."

The game was developed long before the Wii U even started development. In an Iwata Asks interview, Masataka Takemoto stated that the team used materials from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. By the time the Wii U GamePad was announced, he considered having four-player cooperative play with an extra player using said GamePad to add blocks.

The idea for the game came from the fact that lead designer and director Tsubasa Sakaguchi wanted to make an interface that is interactive and something that is easy to grasp on. He initially planned for one player to use both Joy-Con controllers. However, the idea was later shot down because he thought it was too similar to using Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Sakaguchi almost considered having two players use one set of the controllers, but later scrapped it because it was too similar to the Famicom.
