### Mario Party 5 Tag

The Mario Party 5 Tag is a white, folded tush-tag with blue text written on both sides. The front has both the Japanese and English Mario Party logo printed onto the top. "Mario Party 5" is written in Japanese below the logos, and there is Nintendo and Hudson soft licensing at the bottom, both having copyright logos on the left and the year 2003 (the year which Mario Party 5 released). The back of the hang-tag has Japanese writing in the middle of it, which translates to "Stuffed Toy Sanei". "MADE IN CHINA" is also written below the Japanese writing.

### Mario Party 5 Hang-Tag

The Mario Party 5 Hang-Tag's front has a blue background, with the Mario Party logo in both Japanese and Chinese at the top. Like San-ei's Mario Sunshine Set, there is a golden string which is wrapped around the neck of the character (or a leg for the Large plushes), which is connected to the hole on the top of the hang-tag. There are several characters shown at the bottom, which include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Wario, Waluigi, and a Boo. At the bottom left of the hang-tag, "Mario Party 5" is shown in Japanese language. There is also a copyright logo, the year 2003 written (despite the set releasing a year after, and "Nintendo" written at the bottom. There is another copyright logo and more 2003 text at the bottom right of the hang-tag, which this time it has "HUDSON SOFT" (the developer of Mario Party 5) written. There are two versions of this hang-tag, which both have the same front, but a different back. The first version, which was the original hang-tag design was released in 2004 with the set. This hang-tag has a completely white background, with black and gray text on it. Like the front, the top of the hang-tag has the Mario Party logo in both Japanese and Chinese. There is Japanese writing below the logos, which says the character's name and specifies the size of them, depending on what plush it is. There is a hazard warning written in Japanese in the middle of the hang-tag. Below the hazard warning is a barcode with numbers on it, which the numbers read out "4905330810588". Below the barcode and numbers is bold Japanese text, which is San-ei's full company name "Sanei Trading Co., Ltd.". At the bottom left is the San-ei logo as well. The very bottom of the hang-tag has San-ei's phone number written, being "03(3556)7789". The middle bottom of the hang-tag shows an address in Japanese text, which is "Japan Toy Association 2-6-6 Iida Bridge, Kandai Tian-gu, Tokyo, No. 5NS Building 8F". At the bottom right of the hang-tag is a gray rectangle with with Japanese writing in it in white, which states that these plush are only for 3 years olds and up. There is also "MADE IN CHINA" text shown in black writing. The hang-tag was changed in 2007, with the back of the hang-tag getting a redesign. This version of the hang-tag is similar to its original counterpart, but has both Mario Party logos moved to the top left, and the character Japanese writing moved to the top right. There is addition detail with the "ST" and text around it on the left. The barcode is on the right side of the "ST" logo, rather than being directly on the middle. The ST logo also has "07" on the side of it, showing that this hang-tag was the 2007 redesign. In the square that surrounds the ST logo and its text, there is Japanese writing at the top of it, which translates to "Soft toy standard". The number code below the barcode also appears in the ST logo rectangle, and is below the Japanese writing at the top of the square. At the bottom of this rectangle is Japanese writing which translates to an address called "East Chest 4-22-4, Motian-gu- Beijing, China". The bottom has the same writing, and is in the same position as the original version of the hang-tag.
