Collector's Q&A
How much is Mario Party worth?
As of June 2026, a loose cartridge typically sells for $36–$42. Complete-in-box copies sell for around $125. Live links in the Price Check panel show the latest numbers.
Why does complete-in-box cost more?
The original box and manual were routinely discarded, so surviving complete sets are genuinely scarce. The box and manual can add at least $73 over the loose price.
How do I spot a fake cartridge?
Compare the shell, label, screws, and PCB with documented authentic examples for the same region and board revision. Nintendo markings and security screws are useful clues, but replacement shells and legitimate repairs mean no single detail proves authenticity.
