''Mario Party 4'' has a total of eight playable characters, with all playable characters returning from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. All of these playable characters are usable from the beginning and are usable throughout all modes. While ''Mario Party 4'' does not introduce any new playable characters, a mini-game, [[Beach Volley Folly]], found in the Extra Mode, features additional playable characters exclusive to that mini-game. They are unlocked by playing through Battle Mode, and once Battle Mode is unlocked, those additional playable characters are usable only in Free Mode.

|A Super Mega Mushroom has generally the same effects as a Mega Mushroom except that players roll three Dice Blocks instead of two (for a total of 3-30 spaces). If the player rolls the same numbers --three matching numbers (three 1's, 2's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 8's, 9's, or 10's)-- they get 10 coins (30 coins for three "3's" or 50 coins for three "7's"). Like the Mega Mushroom, players again cannot trade for any Stars from a Star Space while giant or purchase items from the Item Shop. All events are bypassed (item shops and Star Spaces), except Bowser on Bowser's Gnarly Party. Similar to the Mega Mushroom, if they run into Bowser, they get to do a Bowser mega mini-game.

If two players are on the space before the Lottery Stop and one moves forward and quickly presses {{button|gcn|B}} on the prompt while the other one runs across, the running player may be stuck in a t-pose until their next turn.<ref>https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1320437200824184835?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet</ref>

In 2003, arcade game and toy manufacturer, [[Banpresto]] released a ''Mario Party 4''-based arcade game only in Japan called ''Dokidoki Mario Chance!'' The game had a wheel base with numbers and lights in the center of each number circle in a clockwise pattern. Each time a light would turn on, a sound would activate. On the top of the machine is a plastic case which houses a small jumping Mario figure. A Japanese voice actress and [[Charles Martinet]] provided voice acting for the game. Among Charles' lines are "Yahoo!" and "Let's-a party!" A music piece also plays throughout the gameplay. When someone loses the game, a sad sound along with more voice acting from Charles Martinet would play.<ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=7bEGonCjsHE]</ref> It was the last ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game to be made by Banpresto.<ref>[https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=35637.msg1780718] Borp's coverage on Mario boards</ref>
