There is a page based on this minigame in the [[Miracle Book]] called "Lawn Mowin' Fun" with [[Mario]] mowing the lawn. When the page is activated, Mario starts singing, [[Luigi]] himself starts mowing, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] catches the grass trimmings from Mario's mower, some [[Shy Guy]]s are shown hiding in one of the grass baskets, and the shrubs bloom.
The only difference between day and night is that there are lit torches in the background at night.

The object of the minigame is to mow the most grass on a small area in a park. To start mowing, the player must press and hold the {{button|gcn|A}} button while moving around. The grass is automatically transported to the player's basket. The player with the most grass in their basket when time runs out wins. If everyone gets the same amount of grass, the minigame ends in a draw.
