'''Paddle Battle''' is a 1-vs-3 [[Coin]]-collecting [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.

==Overview==
The four players all ride an inflatable boat down a river. The solo player as well as the team players competitively direct the boat to their opponent's shore to obtain their [[Coin]]s. The obstacles include [[Spear Guy]]s and rocks along the river. The side with the most Coins by the end wins. If neither side receives any Coins, the victory theme plays while they do their losing poses.

It costs 50 Coins to buy Paddle Battle from the [[Mini-Game House]] once it becomes available.

==Notes==
*Paddle Battle is one of the minigames infamous for [[List of controversies#Mario Party injuries|giving players injuries on their hands]], besides [[Deep Sea Divers]], [[Pedal Power]], [[Cast Aways]], and [[Tug o' War]]. A disclaimer is shown in the [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]] re-release of ''Mario Party'' and advises players not to turn the stick with their palm to avoid injury and stick damage.
