## Tags

The hang tags for the fake plushies vary. Sometimes, they will use the actual Mario Party 5 tag, however some use a variant of the tag with the original game's box art instead of the Mario group picture. They usually use the tags from Yoshi (M), Luigi, Donkey Kong and sometimes, Wario.

Sometimes, the fakes will use the 2009 "Super Mario" white hang tag, the yellow "New Super Mario Bros" hang tag, or some other funky tag variants.

The tush tags are usually a dead giveaway for a fake. If they say "2008", "2009", "2010", "2011", "2012", "2013" or "2014", they are usually fake, as the plushies were no longer being made during those years. Sometimes they will say "2003", but it's used very rarely. The back of the tush tags may have a blue "CE" emblem above the Japanese letters. If it has that, it's a fake, as the official ones don't have that.

Sometimes the tush tags may use the San-Ei "Super Mario" plush set tush tag, a Banpresto tush tag or a red "Nintendo" tush tag. Some also use a generic "Made in China" tush tag.

## Other characters

Any other Mario Party 5 plushes that aren't of the characters above are fake. Some popular fake characters include Waluigi, Toadsworth, Daisy, Toadette, Birdo, Baby Mario, Petey Piranha, Other colored Yoshi's and more.
