Dark 'n' Crispy is a Bowser minigame in Mario Party 6 (where it is written as Dark 'n Crispy) and Mario Party Superstars, where it is also a 4-Player minigame.

Overview

Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The opening shows Bowser being lowered to the ground and every light going dark except those held by stone versions of Bowser's arms.

The players are visible during gameplay but not Bowser, who tries to remove them either with his flame breath or by charging straight at them. The surrounding pit can also eliminate players. Any players remaining when time is up wins, though in Free Play mode of Mario Party Superstars, it can be the last player standing instead.

The minigame is also part of the "Bowser Minigame" event in Mario Party Superstars by landing on a Bowser Space.
