The minigame track "Pandemonium" is a cover of the battle theme from Mario Kart: Double Dash.

Toadette is the only playable Mario Party 8 character to not appear in this game, as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Wario, Waluigi and Toad are playable, Blooper and Dry Bones appear as bosses, Hammer Bro appears for battle minigames and Boo appears in Boo's Horror Castle.

An early version of the game board "Toad Road" can be found in the game's data. The early version included three mountains, a cloud, many Toad houses, and a Wiggler, who was probably the board leader.
