Buried Treasure is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

Gameplay of Buried Treasure in Mario Party.
Gameplay of Buried Treasure

Players dig through dirt deep into the earth, trying to locate a buried Treasure Chest within 60 seconds,[1] more specifically in a random spot in a "+"-shaped region in the middle of the screen.[2] The rocks at the top and bottom require more effort to dig through. There are hidden arrows that hint to where the Treasure Chest is. The first player to uncover the Treasure Chest wins, though if no one does when time runs out, the end result is a draw.

It costs 150 Coins to buy the minigame at Mini-Game House when it becomes available.

Controls[edit]
