Bounce 'n' Trounce is a 4-Player minigame found in Mario Party 3, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay[edit]
The minigame takes place on a midair 3×3 playing field over a pit in a circus tent. The purple starry background has trees and floating stars in Mario Party 3 and The Top 100 and curtains with starry patterns and glowing lights in Superstars. Players on bouncing balls have to knock other players off the platforms by jumping and spin-attacking. Later in the minigame, the square-boxed platforms fall off one by one. The last player standing wins. In Mario Party 3, if multiple players survive after time runs out, the minigame ends in a draw.
