When Mario Party first released for the Nintendo 64, a selection of its mini-games became infamous for causing friction burns on players' palms when they were required to rotate the joystick at speed. Now one of the most notorious of those games, Tug o' War, is coming back for Mario Party Superstars with no changes to the gameplay, just a new health warning, Kotaku reports.

The warning cautions players not to rotate the joystick with the palm of the hand, in order to avoid physical injury or damage to the controllers. It seems unlikely that many players will pay attention to the message, however. As most Mario Party players found out back in the N64 days, spinning the control stick with your palm is usually the only way to get enough speed to win, especially in a high-stakes game like the 1v3 Tug o' War. Even if players ignore the warning, it's likely enough to cover Nintendo from any liability this time around.

As reported by CNET in 2002, the issue with the original game was serious enough to make it to the New York Attorney General's office, which had received a number of complaints from parents of injured Mario Party players. In that case, Nintendo issued a warning that played as a pre-recorded message to anyone who called the company's Mario Party hotline, advising players to only use their thumbs and forefingers on the joystick.
