This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused graphics. This game has debugging material.

This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of November 7, 2017) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

To do: Debug parameters, deserialize binary xml files.

Mario Party 10 takes the formula of the previous entry, and adds Bowser Party and amiibo Party to the mix. It's a bit of a mixed bag compared to the previous entries, but hey, at least Donkey Kong's playable again!

Developer Leftovers

To do: Sort and document their functionality better.

A portion of developer files were leftover.

Sound Source

Source for the 10STARS_SOUND_XX (XX is region dependent) sound archives as SDK projects and map HTML files are present in sound/common, same for the 10STARS_SOUND_LOC / 10STARS_SOUND_xx_XX (region dependent) sound archive in content/sound/Default sound/xx_XX and content/sound/source has a SDK sound preset file built from the NW4F sound SDK, as well as a lot of setting preset files also in sound/source/settingpreset.

Log Files

There's a log file in some of the directories in common appearing once, it is named XXX_fileaccsess.log where XXX is dependent on the scene name, it lists files in specific folders relating to the scene. They are made by common\ch_base\logmake.pl, a Perl script, the typo in the file name oddly isn't fixed and also makes the log.lst file.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Find;

open(LOGLST, "> log.lst");

print LOGLST "PACK_DIR = ch_base/\n\n";
print LOGLST "LOG_FILE =";

foreach(readdir(DIR))
{
	if($_ eq '.' || $_ eq '..'){ next; }	# '.' と '..' は除外.
	if(-f "pc/$_"){ next; }	# ファイルは除外.
	
	$aa = ("pc/Scene" . $_ . "_fileaccsess.log");	# ログファイル名を生成.
	print "#---- $aa\n";
	print LOGLST " \\\n\t$aa";
	
	@array = ();
	find(\&sub_func, "pc/$_");	# ファイルリストを取得.
	
	$pc = substr($_, 0, 4);	# 'pc??' を取得.
	
	open(LOG, ">", $aa);

	{

Font Files

The common/font directory has two font files, uncompiled.

Unused Graphics

A simple dummy texture.

A hand drawn "temporary" texture.

More dummy lettering.

A Blooper with "dummy" written on top.

Test textures, featuring Koopas, a cloud, and a rainbow with an arrow drawn on it.

Four test stamp textures. Interestingly, the Star and Bowser stamps are anti-aliased, while the Bowser Jr. and Mushroom stamps are not.

Eight placeholder images for minigames with "temporary" written on the top right corner. Most of these images are debug screenshots of the game, but they are too small to read the info.

A debug screenshot surrounded by checkerboard bars. There's a transparent "temp" stamped in the middle of the screenshot. The debug text reads:

Cafe [Build] Apr 22 2014 04:39:20 NDGS version 0.10.150 Cafe OS SDK Version 2.10.03 Build 55447

The part in bold is cut off in this screenshot.

Another debug screenshot with a large menu being displayed with various info. The main debug info on the top left reads:

Cafe [Build] Feb 5 2014 09:54:23 NDGS version 0.10.122 Cafe OS SDK Version 2.10.03 Build 55447

A full size debug screenshot. This is the earliest one left in the game, dating back to January 2014. All of the text in this debug screenshot is as follows:

Cafe [Build] Jan 16 2014 16:24:08 NDGS version 0.10.115 Cafe OS SDK Version 2.10.03 Build 55447

Texture Oddity

Reflection Texture	Source Image

A metal reflection texture is actually a photograph of the Tokyo Big Sight convention center. The image itself was specifically taken from this website's photo pack of Tokyo Big Sight. The sign in the Mario Party texture has been blurred heavily.

Internal Project Name

Mario Party 10's project name is internally referenced as both "TenSt" and "10stars".
