==Gameplay==
The playing field is a platform with nine panels. There is a number on each of the panels (1–9), and the numbers on the panels decrease by one after a certain time period. If the number on a panel reaches zero, the panel gives way, eliminating any player standing on it, then automatically resets to a random number from one to nine. Competitors can move and [[punch]] and [[kick]] their opponents to try to force them off the whole platform or into a hole. Additionally, the countdown speed increases as the minigame progresses. The last player standing on the number panels wins the minigame. If two or more players survive until time runs out, those players win. If all players fall off simultaneously, the minigame ends in a tie.
The playing field is a platform with nine panels. There is a number on each of the panels (1-9), and the numbers on each panel decrease by one with each passing second. If the number on a panel ever falls to zero, the panel gives way, eliminating any player on it from the game, then automatically resets to 4. (Thus, the players must jump to panels with a higher number on them to prevent elimination.) Competitors are allowed to punch and kick the opposition to try and force them either off the platform entirely or into a hole. Additionally, the rate at which the countdown occurs speeds up the longer the game goes on.
 
The last player standing on the number panels wins the minigame. If all players fall simultaneously, a random winner is decided.

[[Fly Guy]]s drop the other three players onto the platform. The winner then performs a victory pose.
In ''Mario Party 7'' and ''Superstars'', [[Fly Guy]]s drop any losers onto the platform in the order they placed, from second to fourth. Winners then perform their victory poses while losers perform their losing poses. If everyone survives until the end, everyone performs their winning pose. If everyone falls off, the winner is dropped off by a Fly Guy first, followed by everyone else. If all four players fall off simultaneously, the Fly Guys drop off all four players, then they all do their losing poses.
