'''Sink or Swim''' is a 1-vs-3 minigame in the game ''[[Mario Party 6]]''.
 
==Introduction==
The introduction shows the solo player trying to drop a [[mine (fruit)|mine]] on the group player in the middle of the pond and missing, after which they take their default positions.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The group players must avoid the mines that the solo player drops from above the pool they are in. The group players each have a breath meter; if they stay underwater too long, they float to the top to get air, making it easier for the solo player to drop mines on them. Any group players hit by mines sink out of sight and are eliminated. The solo player wins by eliminating all the other players. The group players win if at least one of them survives long enough.
The whole point of the game for the three players is avoid the mines that the solo player drops from above the pool in which they are swimming underwater. The three players have a life meter; if they stay underwater too long, they will float to the top to get air, making it easier for the solo player to drop mines on them. Whenever the solo player drops a mine on one of the other players, they will sink. When the one player drops mines on all the other players, he or she would win, but if the three players survive long enough, they will win.
