'''M.P.I.Q.''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The name is intended to stand for "Mario Party Intelligence Quotient."

==Gameplay==
Players have to listen to [[Toad]] when he is asking something based on the activities on the [[Mario Party 3#Battle Royale Spaces|board]], [[Mario Party 3#Playable Characters|player characters]], or anything related. First, Toad slowly shows the question letter by letter. A player must press {{button|n64|A}} to hit the [[? Block]] and answer the question, and players can hit the ? Block before the question is fully revealed. A circle means the answer is correct, and an "X" means the answer is incorrect. If an answer is incorrect, the player who answered the question gets squashed by the ? Block and loses their next turn. Players are also squashed if a question is not answered within five seconds. The first player to answer three questions correctly wins. If no one answers three questions correctly within ten questions, the minigame ends. If multiple players have the highest score, the minigame ends in a draw.

==Trivia==
*For the question about the initials on [[Donkey Kong]]'s necktie, "TK" from one of the three possible answers might be a reference to [[Tiny Kong]].
*The question about which type of minigame did not appear in ''Mario Party'' or ''Mario Party 2'' erroneously uses the Japanese name of [[Game Guy]] minigames as its correct answer in the English version.
