'''Pop Star''' is a 1-vs.-3 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Its name comes from a term that refers to a famous person associated with {{wp|pop music}}.

The difference between day and night is in how the balloon pops. Bubbles come out of the balloon in the daytime, and stars come out of the balloon at nighttime.

==Introduction==
The introduction shows the team and the solo player each inflating their balloon slightly.

==Gameplay==
Players attempt to inflate their balloons to the point where they pop. The group players work together to pop their balloon by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing their pumps by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} mid-[[jump]], while the solo player tries to pop their own balloon by repeatedly pressing {{button|gcn|A}} to hammer on their pump. The group players can pump more air in their balloon if they ground-pound from the highest point of their jump. The side that pops its balloon first wins. If neither side pops its balloon in five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.

==Controls==
===Solo (1 player)===
* {{button|gcn|A}} &ndash; Swing the [[hammer]]

===Group (3 players)===
* {{button|gcn|A}} &ndash; Jump
