Pier Pressure is a luck-based Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: The Top 100. The name is a pun on the phrase "peer pressure," which is when one conforms to how their friends think or behave.
Introduction[edit]
An underwater shot shows Cheep Cheeps and Urchins swimming around. The camera then goes above water and shows the pier and the players.
Gameplay[edit]
Before the game starts, a "spinning" arrow chooses who goes first. The selected player takes a turn, and the players to their right follow in order.
Players try to pick fishing lines that they think have Cheep Cheeps on them. A player who picks a fishing rod with an Urchin is knocked into the water and is eliminated. There is no way of telling whether a rod has a Cheep Cheep or an Urchin hooked to it, even if the line moves in a different way from another. The last surviving player wins.
