Pogo-a-Go-Go is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 7, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview

Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

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.

The solo player has control over the stage, which has holes of varying sizes, and they can move it either clockwise or counterclockwise. Meanwhile, the team players have to try and not fall into the holes as the stage moves, otherwise they are removed from the minigame. Both sides have thirty seconds. If every team player falls into a hole, the solo player wins. If at least one team member remains when time is up, their side wins. 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.
