'''Booksquirm''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'',  ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. The minigame's name is a pun on the word "bookworm," a term used to describe a person who reads a lot of books.

Pages of the book begin to turn (fall), so the players must find holes in the pages to avoid being flattened. Players can share a hole. As time goes on, the pages turn much faster, and the number of holes in each page decreases. This process continues until one character is left standing. In ''Mario Party 4'', if the remaining players get flattened at the same time, the game is a draw; in ''The Top 100'' and ''Superstars'', this is the case only if all four players are flattened simultaneously.

In ''Mario Party 4'', there is also an unlockable version of Booksquirm, called '''Challenge Booksquirm''', which can be earned by playing the original Booksquirm in a party, and can then be selected in the Extra Room. It challenges the player to see how many pages they can last until their character is squashed. If the player manages to surpass 15 pages, a [[Goomba]] plate is placed in the minigame [[Present Room]]. Challenge Booksquirm also ends after any player manages to pass through 99 pages.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Nahoc|date=December 24, 2012|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNy2KXEkLUg|title=(TAS) Booksquirm - 99 Pages (Mario Party 4)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 16, 2024}}</ref>

In ''Mario Party Superstars'', an "Endless" mode, which follows the rules of Challenge Booksquirm, can be accessed from Free Play. It is not truly endless, as the game ends after the player reaches 999 pages.
