Pogo-a-Go-Go is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 7, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. The name is partly derived from the term "A-Go-Go" (from the French À gogo, meaning "galore").
Introduction[edit]
The camera zooms down onto a platform as the three team players on pogo sticks are dropped into the stage by helicopter. The holes then open as the team players begin bouncing, and the minigame begins.
Gameplay[edit]
The solo player's objective is to eliminate the other players by moving the platform they are on, while the team players must survive for 30 seconds. The solo player can spin the platform clockwise or counterclockwise using the 
and 
buttons. The team players must navigate around holes of various sizes to avoid elimination, which is complicated by the solo player's spinning the platform. If a team player falls into a hole, they are eliminated. The solo player wins if they eliminate all their opponents. The team players win if at least one of them survives for 30 seconds.
Trio Challenge[edit]
In Mario Party Superstars, this minigame is available in Stage 1 and Stage 4 of the Trio Challenge in Mt. Minigames.
In Stage 1, human players play as a team against an Easy CPU solo opponent, and the rank requirements are:
- A: All three team members survive
- B: Two team members survive
- C: Only a non-CPU team member survives
- D: Only a CPU team member survives
In Stage 4, a single human player plays against Easy CPU opponents, and the rank requirements are:
- A: Win within 15 seconds
- B: Win within 20 seconds
- C: Win within 25 seconds
- D: Win within the time limit
Ending[edit]
In Mario Party 7 and Superstars, if the solo player wins, they do their victory pose as the team players are carried off by the helicopters. If the team players win, they do their victory poses on the platform as the solo player does their losing pose inside the control panel. In both endings, the holes are closed.
