| The [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] has many types of minigames. Most award ten coins, while some award items. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', a few minigames can cause a player to lose coins, although this system was changed in later ''Mario Party'' games. Since ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', players can now practice minigames before trying them out for real. Some minigames involve collecting coins freely, and any coins players collect are added to their coin totals afterwards; players technically cannot lose unless they do not get any coins. Some minigames can last as long as ten, five, four, three, or two minutes, but a timer does not appear until 30 or 60 seconds are left. | | The [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] has many types of minigames.

| | 1-player minigames are minigames played alone. These minigames are usually accessed by landing on the [[Star Space]]. If the player fails, they lose 5 coins; but if they win, the player wins 10 coins, unless it's a different kind of minigame, like [[Whack-a-Plant]], where players can't win or lose. |

|
| 1-Player minigames reappear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', where they are called '''Challenge minigames'''. A Challenge minigame is triggered when a player lands on a [[Challenge Space]]. If the player wins, they get to spin the wheel to throw a dart to collect the number of coins on the wedge the dart lands on. However, if the player loses, they cannot throw the dart and their turn ends. The three Challenge minigames are [[Pour to Score]], [[Stampede (minigame)|Stampede]], and [[Fruit Picker]].

| | 4-player minigames are minigames that pit all four players against each other. These minigames are made in a sense of equality between all players. This system has remained unchanged since the first ''Mario Party''; however, in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', they are renamed, being called Free-for-All minigames |

| '''1-vs.-3 minigames''' are minigames that challenge a single player against the other three. They typically come in three forms: the team players trying to take down or hinder the solo player, the solo player trying to take down or hinder the other three players, or both the solo and team players trying to achieve a similar goal, with the solo player usually getting some form of advantage. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', these minigames are called '''1-vs.-Rivals minigames'''.
| | 1 vs. 3 minigames are games that challenge a single player against the other three. They typically come in three forms, the three players trying to take down or hinder the single player, the single player trying to take down or hinder the other three players, or both the single and three players trying to achieve a similar goal, with the single player usually getting some form of advantage. In ''Mario Party 9'', they are called 1-vs.-Rivals minigames. |

| '''2-vs.-2 minigames''' are minigames that have the player paired up with another player. Players often need to work together and cooperate to beat these minigames. ''Mario Party 9'' is the only ''Mario Party'' game (not counting ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'') not to feature this category of minigames, but [[Shell Soccer]] qualifies as a 2-vs.-2 minigame.

| | Item minigames are games that a player can play to get an item. If the player gets Baby Bowser,, they get nothing. They only appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. |
| '''4-Player minigames''' are minigames that pit all four players against each other. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', the two games [[Key-pa-Way]] and [[Running of the Bulb]] require the four players to work together, and if they succeed, they all get coins. However, this concept has not been used in any other ''Mario Party'' game, and instead, there are now only versus games; however, games in which players simply have to achieve an objective to win and are not actually competing with each other (allowing each player to win), such as [[Granite Getaway]] and [[Trash Landing]], do exist.
| |
| | |
| This system has remained unchanged since the first ''Mario Party''; however, in ''Mario Party 9'', 4-Player minigames are renamed '''Free-for-All minigames''', as this title features the option of only two or three characters (human-controlled or otherwise) competing in the Party and Minigame modes. ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' reverts the category to its original name.

| |
| '''8-Player minigames''' are minigames in ''Mario Party 7''. They are played with eight players, in four teams of two. With the [[Nintendo GameCube]] not having eight controller slots, this must be done by having four controllers plugged in and each player sharing half of the controller. The first player of each team uses {{button|gcn|Stick}} and {{button|gcn|L}}, while the second player of each team uses {{button|gcn|C}} and {{button|gcn|R}}. These minigames are accessible only in 8-Player parties.

| |
| '''Battle minigames''' (also known as '''Battle Games''') are minigames that take coins from all the players, then give them back in different quantities based on the results. The number of coins taken can go from 10 (later five) to 50 coins per player. Unlike in other minigames, the rank order is important—a player can still win some coins for being in second place. Like the 4-Player minigames, most minigames are evenly matched between the four players. From ''Mario Party 2'' until ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', these minigames are unique from the other 4-Player minigames. However, in all other games where Battle minigames can happen, the minigame played is simply one of the regular 4-Player minigames.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Party 2'', ''Mario Party 3'', ''Mario Party 4'', and ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Battle minigames are played when a player lands on a [[Battle Space]]. From ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' until ''Mario Party DS'', Battle minigames are not triggered for landing on any particular space (except for landing on a Battle Space in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''{{'}}s [[Mario Party 6#Solo Mode Boards|Solo Mode]]) but instead played at the end of a turn, like a normal minigame. Here, players are able to vote on which Battle minigame they want to play, out of a list of three Battle minigames, except in ''Mario Party 8'' and ''Mario Party DS'', in which minigames are shown on a wheel, and one is randomly selected. The minigame that gets the most votes after each player has voted is the one played. If there is a tie in the votes between two minigames, the minigame with no votes is played instead. Starting in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Battle Spaces return as [[VS Space]]s, landing on these spaces now provide the player who landed on it three coins, however they otherwise function identically, though the Battle minigames themselves are now referred to as '''VS minigames''' instead.
| |
| | |
| The scoring for Battle minigames up to ''Mario Party 5'':
| |
| *'''1st:''' 70% of the total no. coins; 50% for tie; 33% for three-way tie; 25% if all players win/lose
| |
| *'''2nd:''' 30% of the total no. coins; 15% for tie; 10% for three-way tie
| |
| If the total number of coins is not a multiple of 10, one random player gets a bonus coin. | |
| | |
| Starting in ''Mario Party 6'', the scoring was changed slightly:
| |
| *'''1st:''' 70% of the total
| |
| *'''2nd:''' 25% of the total
| |
| *'''3rd:''' 5% of the total
| |
| *'''4th:''' 0% of the total
| |
| In ''Mario Party DS'', there are some big changes. Depending on the turn number ranging from two to 30, the players can pay up to 60 coins, and the scoring is a bit different from the scoring in the previous installments. The reward distribution is as follows:
| |
| *'''1st:''' 65% of the total
| |
| *'''2nd:''' 30% of the total
| |
| *'''3rd:''' 5% of the total
| |
| *'''4th:''' 0% of the total
| |
| In ''Mario Party 9'', players can engage in a battle minigame by landing on the "Battle Minigame" space. Once a player has done so, a [[Hammer Bro]] comes and takes three [[Mini Star]]s from each player.
| |
| *4-Player Battle:
| |
| **'''1st:''' (50%) 6 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''2nd:''' (33.3%) 4 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''3rd:''' (16.7%) 2 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''4th:''' 0 Mini Stars
| |
| *3-Player Battle:
| |
| **'''1st:''' (66%) 6 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''2nd:''' (33%) 3 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''3rd:''' 0 Mini Stars
| |
| Sometimes landing on the space mentioned above causes a [[Fire Bro]] to appear. The Fire Bro only makes last place lose 10 Mini Stars, while the winners split the 10 of the results:
| |
| *4-Player Battle:
| |
| **'''1st:''' +5 Mini Stars; +4 for tie; +3 for three-way tie; +9 if three players tie for last place; +6 if two players tie for 2nd place or last
| |
| **'''2nd:''' +3 Mini Stars; +2 for tie
| |
| **'''3rd:''' +2 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''4th:''' −10 Mini Stars; −5 Mini Stars for tie; −3 for three-way tie
| |
| *3-Player Battle:
| |
| **'''1st:''' +7 Mini Stars; +5 for tie; +10 if two players tie for last
| |
| **'''2nd:''' +3 Mini Stars
| |
| **'''3rd:''' −10 Mini Stars; −5 for tie
| |
| Also, if a player lands on a [[Bowser Space]], the players can be forced into battling for half of each player's Mini Stars. However, [[Bowser]] keeps any leftover Mini Stars.
| |
| *The payout goes as follows:

| |
| In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', players can engage in a battle minigame in three different ways.
| |
| *After the mini-boss is defeated, a regular battle minigame can be triggered by landing on a [[Minigame Space]]. Upon the player hitting the minigame box and having the box show two hammers, a Hammer Bro comes and takes five Mini Stars from each player.

| **In a 4-Player Battle:
| |

| **In a 2-Player Battle:
| |
| ***'''1st:''' (100%) 10 Mini Stars
| |
| ***'''2nd:''' 0 Mini Stars
| |
| *If someone lands on a [[Bowser Jr. Space]] while playing Mario Party mode, one of the four options in the roulette is for all players to battle for 10 Mini Stars. [[Bowser Jr.]] distributes the Mini Stars depending on how well each player does.
| |
| **In a 4-Player Battle:
| |
| ***'''1st:''' (65%) 26 Mini Stars
| |
| ***'''2nd:''' (25%) 10 Mini Stars
| |
| ***'''3rd:''' (10%) 4 Mini Stars

| |
| **In a 2-Player Battle:
| |
| ***'''1st:''' (100%) 20 Mini Stars
| |
| ***'''2nd:''' 0 Mini Stars
| |
| *If someone lands on a Bowser Space while playing Mario Party mode and the roulette stops on "Battle for half of your Mini Stars," Bowser takes half of everyone's Mini Stars and distributes them depending on how well each player does.

| *Like in ''Mario Party 9'', if there are not enough Mini Stars to wager in for the battle, extra Mini Stars are always provided.
| |
| *Unlike in ''Mario Party 9'', battle minigames can also appear when there are only two players instead of three or four players. Also, any ties are always decided by dice rolls.
| |
| In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', the scoring was once again changed slightly:
| |
| *'''1st:''' 70% of the total

| ====Boss minigames====
| |
| [[File:King Boo's Tricky Tiles MP10.png|thumb|left|200px|[[King Boo's Tricky Tiles]], a boss minigame from ''[[Mario Party 10]]'']]
| |
| '''Boss minigames''' (also called '''boss battles''') appear in ''Mario Party 9'', ''Mario Party 10'', ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. In ''Mario Party 9'', ''Mario Party 10'', and ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', they are played when the players reach a [[Boss Battle Space]]. Each [[board (Mario Party series)|board]] in ''Mario Party 9'' and ''Mario Party 10'' features two bosses, while five of the seven boards in ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' have one boss each. In these minigames, players must defeat an enemy by working together (except in [[Diddy's Banana Blast]] and [[DK's Banana Bonus]]), though each one tries to get more points than the others. These minigames have five-minute time limits (with the exception of ''Jamboree'', where all boss battles can last as long as three to five minutes) and end only when the boss health meter is empty. When half of the health meter is empty, the boss develops more diverse ways to attack. Whoever lands the final hit on the boss receives bonus points.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Party 10'', any tie in a mini-boss or boss battle is always decided by a [[Dice Block|dice]] roll if the minigame is played during the Mario Party mode.
| |
| | |
| In ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', boss minigames can appear in the main Mario Party mode only through VS Spaces, functionally making them similar to the unique Battle minigames in previous games. They also appear in the Party-Planner Trek mode, where they must be played after enough Mini Stars are obtained to move on to the next board.
| |
| | |
| ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' also feature boss minigames, though they are one-to-one showdowns; in the latter, boss minigames can be played in [[Bowser's Tower]]. | |

| [[File:FruitsofDonkey.png|thumb|170px|[[Fruits of Doom]], a Bowser minigame from ''Mario Party 4'']]
| | Bowser minigames are [[Bowser]]'s own minigames. Bowser minigames are often extremely unfair to the players, as Bowser makes all the rules. Bowser minigames are also similar to 4-player and 1 vs 3 minigames (where the 1 is the player who landed on the Bowser Space), except that they produce a loser instead of a winner. The loser can lose coins, Stars (if they have one, or more), or items. |
| '''Bowser minigames''' are [[Bowser]]'s own minigames. Bowser minigames are often extremely unfair to the players, as Bowser makes all the rules. Bowser minigames are also similar to 4-Player and 1-vs.-3 minigames (where the 1 is the player who lands on the [[Bowser Space]]), except that they produce a loser instead of a winner. The loser can lose [[coin]]s, [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s (if they have one, or more), or [[List of items|items]].
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Mario Party]]'', players compete against each other in a 4-Player or 1-vs.-3 minigame where each player that loses must hand over somewhere between 10 to 50 coins. If there are no losers due to the game not ending in the time limit, Bowser steals coins from either the player who landed on his space or everyone. | | In ''Mario Party 9'', Bowser's Minigames are referred to as '''Reverse Minigames''' where the player has to lose in order to win Mini Stars. |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', players compete against each other in a special 4-Player minigame. The losing player loses either half or all of their coins, or all of their items.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', each player must survive attacks from Bowser and/or [[Koopa Kid]] (in ''Mario Party 7'') in a given time limit, and each player that does not survive loses. Each loser in the minigames loses either half or all of their coins, all of their items (in ''Mario Party 5'' and ''Mario Party 6''), or a Star (in ''Mario Party 7''). Also in ''Mario Party 7'', there are single-player Bowser minigames, where the one player who lands on the Bowser Space has to do various things to collect a [[key]] to escape from a dungeon before the time limit runs out. The penalty for losing is the same as in the multiplayer Bowser minigames.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Bowser's minigames are referred to as '''[[Reverse Minigame]]s''', where the player has to get last place in order to win [[Mini Star]]s.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Party 10'', Bowser minigames are referred to as '''Bowser Battles'''. [[heart (item)|Heart]]s can be lost there. Reverse Minigames from ''Mario Party 9'' also return in this game. If someone gets last place, they win 20 Mini Stars.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Bowser minigames return as one of the events that could occur when a player lands on a Bowser Space. Each player that fails the minigame loses 10 coins.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', while there are no traditional Bowser minigames, the Koopathlon mode features 20-player Survivathon minigames, which function similarly to Bowser minigames in other games. Like in other games, they are often intentionally unfair to the players and the goal is to simply survive.
| |
| | |
| ====Bowser Jr. minigames====
| |
| [[File:MP9 2-Player Bumper Sparks.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Bumper Sparks]], a Bowser Jr. minigame from ''Mario Party 9'']]
| |
| Featured in ''Mario Party 9'', '''Bowser Jr. minigames''' are played only when a player lands on a [[Bowser Jr. Space]]. These minigames involve two players, a captain and a partner, competing against Bowser Jr. If the players win, they get five Mini Stars each. If they lose, Bowser Jr. steals five Mini Stars each. Bowser Jr. minigames also appear in ''Mario Party 10''. They can be activated only by selecting them from Bonus Games or landing on an [[Event Space]] on the [[Bowser Board]] in amiibo Party. Players who win get 10 coins or a Star, and players who lose must pay 10 coins. Unlike in ''Mario Party 9'', players who face Bowser Jr. do not receive a partner.

| [[File:Spike Roll Jump.webp|thumb|200px|[[Spike's Gambit]], a Coin minigame from ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'']]
| |
| Appearing in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', '''Coin Chaos minigames''' are single-player minigames that revolve around collecting as many coins as possible in a time limit. They are integral to the [[Coinathlon]] and [[Koopathlon]] modes in their respective games, in which collecting coins in minigames allows players to advance on the board. In ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', they are known as '''Coin minigames'''.
| |
| | |
| ====Co-op minigames====
| |
| [[File:NetWorth SuperMarioParty.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Net Worth]], a Co-op minigame from ''Super Mario Party'']]
| |
| Featured in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', '''Co-op minigames''' are minigames where the players must work together in order to win. In ''Super Mario Party'', they are four-player minigames that are played mainly in the [[River Survival]] mode. In ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', they are eight-player minigames known as '''Kaboom-Squad minigames''', as they are exclusively played in the Bowser Kaboom Squad mode.

| Introduced in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', '''Donkey Kong minigames''' are minigames run by [[Donkey Kong]], which are often short. They usually have players focus on collecting as many [[banana]]s as possible. After a Donkey Kong minigame is finished, players can trade their bananas to Donkey Kong for coins. They can also gain more depending on the DK Roulette. | | Introduced in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Donkey Kong minigames are minigames run by Donkey Kong which are often short.

| | |
| Three single-player Donkey Kong minigames appear in ''Mario Party 7'': [[Jump, Man]]; [[Vine Country]]; and [[A Bridge Too Short]]. During the Party Cruise, if a player lands on a [[DK Space]] and is asked to beat Donkey Kong in a single-player Donkey Kong minigame, their reward can be 20 coins, 30 coins, or a Star, depending on what the roulette stops on. If Donkey Kong wins, the player gets nothing.
| |
| | |
| During the Solo Cruise, the reward for a Star for beating a single-player Donkey Kong minigame is replaced by 10 coins.

| First appearing in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', '''Duel minigames''' are minigames that involve two players playing against each other. Most usually have high stakes. They are the only type of minigame in any 1-vs.-1 game mode. The challenging player can choose to play for either coins or [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s. This is provided that the challenging player themselves has enough to wager. From ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' onwards, the winner's prize is decided by a roulette wheel.
| | Duel minigames are minigames that involve two players to play a minigame against each other. Most usually have high stakes, some are common in various Duel modes. The challenging player can choose to either play for coins or [[Star]]s. This is provided that the challenging player himself has enough to wager. From ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' onwards, the winner's prize was decided by a roulette wheel. |
| *In ''Mario Party 7'', the winner decides what to take from the loser through the Slot of Stupendousness. The loser gives either coins, Stars, or nothing to the winner, depending on what the roulette stops on.
| |
| **If the roulette lands on an "X," nothing happens.
| |
| **If the roulette lands on a coin with the number ten on it, the loser must give ten coins to the winner. The loser must forfeit all of their coins if they have ten coins or fewer.
| |
| **If the roulette lands on two coins, the loser must give half of their coins to the winner. If the loser has an odd number of coins, the upper portion is taken.
| |
| **If the roulette lands on three coins, the loser must give all of their coins to the winner.
| |
| **If the roulette lands on a Star with either the number one or two on it, the loser must give one or two of their Stars to the winner, respectively. Duelers cannot bet Stars in [[Windmillville]] due to its unorthodox method of collecting Stars.
| |
| **The Slot of Stupendousness is not used if both players tie in the minigame.
| |
| **If the loser must give coins or Stars to the winner but does not have any coins or Stars to give, nothing happens.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
| *In ''Mario Party 8'', the winner decides what to take from the loser with the Dart Wheel. The loser usually gives coins to the winner, but in rare cases, the loser can also give a Star or two to the winner. Nothing happens if both players tie or if the loser cannot give coins or Stars to the winner.
| |
| **[[Duel Space|VS Spaces]] appear in Star Battle Arena and Duel Battles and always pit the two players competing in the match against each other. The loser must give either one, five, or ten coins to the winner (if the loser is the attacker) or five, ten, or 20 coins to the winner (if the loser is the defender), depending on what the dart lands on. Unlike in Battle Royale and Tag Battle, the loser never gives Stars to the winner.
| |
| **During Battle Royale and Tag Battle, Duel minigames are triggered when a player uses [[Duelo Candy]], a candy that lets the player roll two [[Dice Block]]s and then duel with the first player they meet. If more than one player is on the same space, the player can choose whom to duel with. Like in Star Battle Arena and Duel Battles, the winner uses the Dart Wheel to determine what the loser must give to the winner. Unlike in Star Battle Arena and Duel Battles, the winner can also make the loser give a Star or two to them, although this occurs less frequently than the loser's giving coins to the winner. The loser can give Stars to the winner only if the attacker wins; if the defender wins, the loser gives just between one to 20 coins to the winner, depending on how many coins the loser has.
| |
| **During Battle Royale and Tag Battle, Duel minigames cannot occur in [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] due to its unorthodox method of collecting Stars.
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''Mario Party Superstars'', Duel minigames return to functioning as they do in earlier appearances, where players wager coins instead of the prize being randomly chosen. However, it is not possible to duel for Stars in this game. The ability to duel for Stars returns in ''Super Mario Party Jamboree''; however, it is possible to duel for Stars only when playing with Pro Rules or by using the [[Super Dueling Glove]] item.
| | ====Mini minigames==== |
| | [[Mini Mini-Game|Mini minigame]]s are a type of minigame in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. It can be played only by a character that has the effects of a [[Mini Mushroom]]. There are two types of Mini minigames, those that involve winning [[items]], like [[Item-Go-Round]] and [[Item Poker]], and those that involve winning [[coin]]s, like the [[Coin Slots]] and [[Tropical Fishing]]. |

| Appearing only in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', '''Game Guy minigames''' are minigames run by [[Game Guy]]. These minigames are played upon a player landing on a [[Game Guy Space]]. These mostly luck-based minigames determine if the player takes the [[coin]]s back doubled (or more, depending on the minigame) or if they lose them all.
| | Battle minigames are minigames that take coins from all the players, then gives them back in different amounts based on the results. The amount of coins taken can go from 10 (later 5) to 50 coins per player. Unlike other minigames, the rank order is important- a player can still win some coins for being in second place. Like the 4-player minigames, most minigames are evenly matched between the four players. |
| | The scoring for Battle games up to ''[[Mario Party 7]]'': |
| | *'''1st''': 70% of the total no. coins ; 50% for tie ; 33% for 3-way tie ; 25% if all players win/lose |
| | *'''2nd''': 30% of the total no. coins ; 15% for tie ; 10% for 3-way tie |
| | If the total number of coins is not a multiple of 10, one random player gets a bonus coin. |
|
| |
|
| ====Item minigames====
| | In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the scoring was changed slightly: |
| [[File:Hammer Slammer.png|thumb|left|170px|[[Hammer Slammer]], an Item minigame from ''Mario Party 2'']] | | *'''1st''': 70% of the total |
| '''Item minigames''' are games that a player can play to get an item. They are triggered by landing on an [[Item Space]]. If the player gets [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]], they get nothing. Item minigames appear in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. In ''Mario Party 2'', the minigame played depends on what board is being played on. In ''Mario Party 3'', the Item Space may trigger a roulette to decide a minigame to be played. Item minigames return in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', where they are picked randomly upon a player reaching an Item Space. Also, Baby Bowser is replaced by [[Bowser Jr.]] Item minigames reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. However, they are not guaranteed to be played when a player lands on an Item Space, as they are played only if the roulette that appears when the player lands on the space lands on a minigame icon. Also, obtaining an item is always guaranteed, as Bowser Jr. does not appear, nor does any equivalent. The below table displays information pertaining to which Item minigame is played on which board in ''Mario Party 2''. | | *'''2nd''': 25% of the total |

| ====Last minigame====
| | In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', there are some big changes. Depending on the turn number ranging from 2-30, the players can pay up to 60 coins and the scoring is a bit different from the previous installments. The reward distribution is: |
| [[File:StarShowdown1.png|thumb|200px|Superstar Showdown, the Last minigame from ''Mario Party 8'']]
| | *'''1st''': 65% of the total |
| Being a category found only in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the Last category features only one minigame, [[Superstar Showdown]], which is played at the end of [[Mario Party 8#Star Battle Arena|Star Battle Arena]]. The minigame plays out similarly to the boss minigames in ''Mario Party DS'' and ''Mario Party: Island Tour'', as it involves the player fighting against [[Bowser]] one-on-one.
| | *'''2nd''': 30% of the total |

|
| ====Mic minigames====
| | In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', players can engage in a battle minigame by landing on the "Battle Minigame" space. Once a player has done so, a [[Hammer Bro.]] will come and take three [[Mini Star]]s per person: |
| [[File:BalloonBustersMP7.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Balloon Busters]], a Mic minigame from ''Mario Party 7'']] | | *4-Player Battle: |
| First appearing in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', '''Mic minigames''' are minigames that utilize the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Nintendo GameCube Microphone]] when they are played. In ''Mario Party 6'', five different Mic minigames appear, with all of them being 1-vs.-3 minigames. In these minigames, the solo player says a variety of commands with the microphone to try to win against the team of three. A separate mode, known as Mic Mode, is also found in ''Mario Party 6'', in which players can play extra minigames using the microphone that they are unable to play in Party Mode or Minigame Mode. If there is no microphone inserted, there is an option for players to play Mic minigames by using the GameCube Controller like a microphone instead of using the microphone itself. Pressing the {{button|gcn|R}} button on the controller opens up a blue box of commands; the player can select which command they want to do by using the control stick to navigate. Mic minigames cannot appear if the microphone is turned off.
| | **'''1st''': (50%) 6 Mini Stars |
| | **'''2nd''': (33.3%) 4 Mini Stars |
| | **'''3rd''': (16.7%) 2 Mini Stars |
| | **'''4th''': 0 Mini Stars |
| | 3-Player Battle: |
| | **'''1st''': (66%) 6 Mini Stars |
| | **'''2nd''': (33%) 3 Mini Stars |
| | **'''3rd''': 0 Mini Stars |
|
| |
|
| Mic minigames reappear in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. This time, 10 different Mic minigames appear, with five of them being 1-vs.-3 minigames and the other five being 4-Player minigames. In addition to the 10 Mic minigames, there is also a special Mic minigame that can be played only if the player lands on a [[Mic Space]] during Party Mode. Here, the player can wager the number of coins they have (up to 99) and double the number of coins they wager. In the special Mic minigame, three to five cards appear, each with a different type of fruit. In order to win the Mic minigame and double the coins wagered, the player must guess all of the fruits on each card correctly. If the player does not guess the fruit on a card within the given time limit or makes a wrong guess, the Mic minigame ends, and the player loses their wager. The Mic minigames function as they did in ''Mario Party 6''.
| | Sometimes landing on the space mentioned above, will cause a [[Fire Bro.]] to appear. The Fire Bro only makes last place lose ten Mini Stars, while the winners split the ten of the results: |
| | *4-Player Battle: |
| | **'''1st''': +5 Mini Stars ; +4 for tie ; +3 for 3-way tie ; +9 if three players tie for last place ; +6 if two players tie for 2nd place or last |
| | **'''2nd''': +3 Mini Stars ; +2 for tie |
| | **'''3rd''': +2 Mini Stars |
| | **'''4th''': -10 Mini Stars ; -5 Mini Stars for tie ; -9 for 3-way tie |
| | *3-Player Battle: |
| | **'''1st''': +7 Mini Stars ; +5 for tie ; +10 if two players tie for last |
| | **'''2nd''': +3 Mini Stars |
| | **'''3rd''': -10 Mini Stars : -5 for tie |
|
| |
|
| While ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' all feature Mic minigames, they are treated as regular minigames in those games. However, they are distinct in that they are usually able to be toggled on or off, like in previous games.
| | Also, if a player lands on a [[Bowser Space]] the players can be forced into battling for half of each player's Mini Stars. However, [[Bowser]] keeps any left over Mini Stars. |
| | *4-Player Battle: |
| | **'''1st''': (50%) |
| | **'''2nd''': (30%) |
| | **'''3rd''': (20%) |
| | **'''4th''': (0%) |

| '''Mini Mini-Games''' are a type of minigame in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. They can be played only by a character that has the effects of a [[Mini Mushroom]] via [[tiny pipe]]s that lead to secret passageways on all of the boards. There are two types of Mini Mini-Games: those that involve winning [[List of items|items]], such as [[Item-Go-Round]] and [[Item Poker]], and those that involve winning [[coin]]s, such as [[Coin Slots]] and [[Tropical Fishing]]. The themes are usually paired with the theme of the board (such as [[Goomba Poker]] and [[Card Matching]] on [[Goomba's Greedy Gala]]).
| | [[8-Player minigame]]s are minigames only in ''Mario Party 7''. They are played with 8 players, which is 4 teams of 2. The first player uses {{button|gcn|Stick}} and {{button|gcn|L}} while the second player uses {{button|gcn|C}} and {{button|gcn|R}}. They are only accessible in 8 Player parties. |

| ====Motion minigames====
| |
| [[File:Crank 2 Rank.webp|thumb|[[Night Lights]], a Motion minigame from ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'']]
| |
| Motion minigames appear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. They are minigames that require the use of Joy-Con to perform specific tasks. These minigames are optional in all modes in which they are playable. All players are required to use a single Joy-Con controller each. [[Rosalina's Radical Race]] is the only Showdown minigame that is classified as a Motion minigame, which makes [[Rosalina]] the only Jamboree Buddy exclusive to games with Motion minigames turned on. [[Roll with It]] and [[Fast Fishing]] are also the only Item and Duel minigames, respectively, to be classified as Motion minigames.
| |
| | |
| While ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', ''Mario Party 10'', and ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' all feature motion-controlled minigames, they are treated as regular minigames in those games.

| Introduced in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', '''Rare minigames''' are special minigames that do not appear at all in normal Party Mode. They are sometimes very long and have special options that other minigames do not have. These minigames return in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' under the same name, though similar minigames are featured in side modes in other games in the series: the Extra Room in ''Mario Party 4'', the Bonus Room in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the Extras Zone in ''Mario Party 8'', Puzzle Mode in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', the Extras in ''Mario Party 9'', the Bonus Games in ''Mario Party 10'', and Toad's Rec Room in ''Super Mario Party''. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', such minigames are categorized under the "Puzzle" and "Extras" categories. In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', returning minigames of this category appear in the "Special" and "Sports & Puzzles" categories, respectively.

These minigames involve two players, the captain and a partner competing against Bowser Jr. |
| Featured in ''Super Mario Party'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', '''Rhythm minigames''' are four-player minigames where the players gain points by performing actions to the rhythms of songs that play during the minigames. Perfect timing earns the player three points, while early or late inputs are worth just one point. In ''Super Mario Party'', each player has separate points from each other and whoever scores the most points wins. In ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', this is changed so that they are purely cooperative, with all players contributing to the same point counter.

| '''Showdown minigames''' appear in ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' and can be played to earn Jamboree Buddies. They are four-player minigames that are typically longer than regular four-player minigames, often being split into multiple parts or having many small back-to-back challenges. These minigames are themed after each respective character that can appear as a Jamboree Buddy while also featuring them in a non-playable capacity. In Minigame Bay, if the player chooses to play as the specific character of a Showdown minigame, the non-playable character appears to be a grayed-out version, and the ally in question will not cheer for the winner. The first player to reach the Jamboree Buddy on the board is given an advantage over the other players that is specified before the minigame starts.
| | Also appearing in ''Mario Party 9'', Boss Battles are played when the players reach a [[Boss Battle Space]]. Each board features two bosses. In these mini-games, players must defeat an enemy by working together (except [[Diddy's Banana Blast]] and [[DK's Banana Bonus]]), though each one tries to get more points by working more than the others. These minigames are timeless and end only when the boss health meter is empty. When half of the health meter is empty, the boss gets more diverse ways to attack. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', boss battles can be played in [[Bowser's Tower]] in a one-on-one showdown. |

| ===''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''===
| |
| In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', there are 4 minigames, two of which are found in [[Thwomp Caverns]] and the other two are found in [[Shroob Castle]].
| |
| *The minigames in Thwomp Caverns are hosted by the [[Thwomp Bros.]]; the elder brother operates a slot machine, which involves Mario and Luigi to use the [[Bro Ball|Bros. Ball]] to collect jewels so [[Baby Mario]] can hammer the button to stop the slots. Depending on the slots aligned and the difficulty setting, the quartet can receive various items (ranging from coins to [[bean]]s) as rewards. The younger brother hosts another minigame, which involves Baby Mario and [[Baby Luigi]] using the [[Baby Spin]] on a [[Whirlwind]]. As they slowly descend to the ground, the babies must collect many jewels as possible, and depending on how many jewels they have collected, they will receive various prizes, ranging from coins to a piece of gear.
| |
| *The minigames in Shroob Castle involve using a spaceship. The first minigame involves the quartet using the [[Shroob Mother Ship]] to fire at smaller [[Shroob saucer]]s to take them down, while the second minigame involves them using the [[Princess Shroob]] statue's spaceship head to fire Shroob saucers back at the Shroob Mother Ship to take it down. Both minigames require Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to hit blocks that adjust the height of the spaceship and Mario to hit a block to fire an energy blast. In the second minigame, the spaceship the quartet are piloting have a set number of hit points, and should they lose all of them, the player will receive an instant [[Game Over]].
| |
|
| |
| ===''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' / ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''===
| |
| In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and its remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', most of the minigames take place inside various locations in [[Bowser's body]]; the [[Arm Center]], the [[Gut Check (location)|Gut Check]], the [[Rump Command]], the [[Leg Outpost]], the [[Nose Deck]], the [[Memory Banks]], and the [[Chest Station]]. At certain points in the game, Mario and Luigi must travel to those areas during specific situations:
| |
| *In the Arm Center, when Bowser performs tasks that involve the use of his arms (like pulling a heavy object), Mario and Luigi visit this area to play a minigame which requires them to hit respectively colored spark balls at Bowser's arm muscle. The player must press the appropriate buttons in tandem with the rhythm of the music, otherwise the balls may hit Mario or Luigi and cause them to lose coins. After hitting enough spark balls, Bowser's strength will increase, and if this is done enough times, Bowser will gain enough strength to complete the current task and the player can move on with the story. This area is visited four times throughout the course of the game.
| |
| *In the Gut Check, when Bowser eats a [[Giga-carrot]] as told by [[Wiggler Family#The Wiggler (Boss)|a Wiggler]] for pulling it out, Mario and Luigi go to this area to help Bowser digest the pieces of the carrot. This minigame requires the use of the stylus; the player must tap the eaten carrot pieces three times to make them disappear. One carrot piece may have a special enzyme that helps clear out the carrot pieces faster, though they get weaker over time (this is indicated when Bowser flashes as he eats the carrot). Once Bowser eats all the carrot pieces in the allotted time, the player moves on to the boss fight with the Wiggler, though if time expires before Bowser is finished, the minigame has to be repeated, with the large carrot being replaced with smaller carrots. This area is only visited once in the game.

| *In the Rump Command, when Bowser is crushed by a giant object, Mario and Luigi must ride the Boats of Revival and give him an adrenaline boost so he can be revived and [[Super Bowser|temporarily grow giant]]. The minigame plays like a top-down shooter, where the player must fire at red, green and blue adrenaline orbs to send them at Bowser's heart, filling up the "adrenameter". The red and green adrenaline orbs must be shot at with the correct brother (red for Mario and green for Luigi), and shooting them with the wrong brother will send it down towards them, costing a heart and a few coins if they are hit by it. The blue orbs can be shot at by both brothers. Once the adrenameter is filled, a large blue adrenaline orb will appear, which the player must shoot at enough times to revive Bowser. If the player loses all three of their hearts during the minigame, they will have to start it over. Like with the Arm Center, the brothers visit this area four times, and each time they clear the minigame, Bowser must fight a giant boss ([[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser's Castle]], the [[Tower of Yikk]], the [[Fawful Express]] and [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury]]).
| |
| *In the Leg Outpost, when Bowser performs tasks that involve pushing objects using his legs, Mario and Luigi visit this area to play a minigame which requires them stomping on Bowser's leg muscles to make him move faster. The player must press the correct, corresponding brother button to make Mario and Luigi press down on the muscle when they land, making Bowser push the object forward. After stomping down on each muscle a set number of times, Mario and Luigi will separate, and the player must press both brother buttons to press down on both muscles, causing Bowser to push even further forward. This area is visited two times throughout the course of the game.
| |
| *In the Nose Deck, when Bowser smells certain aroma, Mario and Luigi have to go to this area due to an odd disturbance. The minigame starts once the brothers enter a cyclone. Like with the carrot minigame, the player utilizes the stylus to launch the [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|spinning]] brothers into pollen so they knock it into ten large nasal mounds on the side, turning them from blue to pink. Once enough pollen is knocked, a large mound will appear, which the brothers must spin into. Spiked pollen will start to appear after this is done, which will take away a heart from the player when they are touched, so they must be avoided while hitting the large mounds that sporadically appear from time to time. After enough mounds are hit, the minigame is over and Bowser will let out a large sneeze, which is required at certain points in the game to progress. This area is revisited three times.
| |
| *In the Memory Banks, when Bowser has to remember the combination to the safe containing the second [[Star Cure]], Mario and Luigi visit this area to find out what the combination is. After defeating [[Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L]], the brothers play a minigame where they must complete a puzzle which contains the memory of the safe's combination. Using the stylus, the player must drag and move the pieces, occasionally rotating them to the correct angle via a button on the bottom of the touch screen, in the right place to finish the puzzle.
| |
| *In the Chest Station, when Bowser is burned while he is curled up into a ball, Mario and Luigi visit this area. The minigame starts once the brothers enters a cannon in the area, sending them into a small area as a ball, which requires the player to use the stylus to bring back the brothers and fling them in a direction, causing Bowser to boost upwards in that same direction. If Bowser gets hit, he loses a few coins or a hit point, depending on the current minigame being played. This area is visited twice, the first time the brothers visit this area is when two giant [[Fire Piranha Plant|fire-breathing]] [[Piranha Plant]]s burn Bowser as he is storming [[Peach's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Peach's Castle]], and a second time when Bowser meets up with (the now-completed) [[Dark Bowser]] deeper into the castle and battles him with the [[spike ball (move)|spike ball]] technique.
| |
| Besides those minigames, the player can play the [[Cholesteroad]] minigame in the [[Challenge Node]], where they are tested into using their acquired [[Bros. Attack|Special Attacks]] to defeat [[Cholesteron]]s and earn enough points to win prizes. There are also minigames that are played outside of Bowser's body, like [[Broque Madame]]'s minigame in [[Blubble Lake]], where the player is tested into using their acquired [[Brawl Attack]]s to earn points and win points, similar to the Cholesteroad.

| ===''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''===
| |
| In ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', there are four minigames played on [[Pi'illo Island]]. The first two are hosted by [[Broque Monsieur]], take place in [[Pi'illo Blimport]], and are only played once as part of the game's introduction. The latter two are found in other locations, and use the mechanics of specific [[Bros. Move]]s. Both of them are mandatory to play, but can also be played again.
