'''Puzzle Pillars''' is a one- or two-player [[minigame]] at the [[Mario Party 8#Extras Zone|Extras Zone]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
'''Puzzle Pillars''' is an extra [[minigame]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' and can only be played in the [[Extras Zone]]. This game can be purchased for 50 [[Carnival Card]]s from the [[Fun Bazaar]]. It is meant for one or two players.  


==Overview==
==Introduction==
The minigame opens with blocks of various colors falling into a building.
Players are standing in front of an ancient stone building, with a score counter and a timer, etc. on the top. The camera zooms in closer to the building, and a stack of multicolored blocks falls into place inside it. The game then begins.


Players try to match identically colored blocks, making them disappear and earning them [[point]]s, of which they try to achieve as much as they can before time is up. Blocks can be selected and rotated vertically. There are also [[Bullet Bill]] blocks to clear, but if not done quickly enough, the player loses five seconds. The next level starts upon achieving a number of points. There are [[Bob-omb]] blocks in certain levels that explode, clearing any blocks nearby. After either time runs out or the player makes it to Level 50, the minigame ends, but in the former case, the player can resume, but with 1,000 fewer points. There are [[coin]]s or [[Amp]]s on blocks exclusively in two-player, adding coins and stunning players, respectively. The player with the highest score in two-player version when time is up wins, though if it is the same, it is a tie.
==Gameplay==
The goal of the game is to match up the blocks of the same color with ''Mario Party 8'' emblems on them.


The ending of the two-player version shows the winning and losing players doing their respective poses, or their losing poses if it is a tie. If the player gets to Level 50 in single-player mode, "Congratulations" is displayed as they doing their winning pose, as well as the "Congratulations" music theme unique to the minigame.
Players must attempt to get as many points from doing this as possible before time runs out. When the blocks with the emblems on them are matched up, they disappear. A certain amount of blocks must be cleared in every level to progress. Additionally, the player must avoid obstacles such as blocks with a picture of a [[Bullet Bill]] on them, which will deplete the player's time if they are not matched up with other blocks of the same color in time.


Puzzle Pillars costs 50 [[Carnival Card]]s to buy at the [[Fun Bazaar]].
When the time completely runs out, the game is over.
 
==Ending==
When the game ends, players are offered the chance to continue again from the level they left off at when the game ended. If they choose to do so, they are allowed to continue, but will incur a small time penalty. If not, players are returned to the Extras Zone.
