Tipsy Tourney is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

From their separate large wooden frames, each player competes to flip over every tile on their frame using a Koopa Shell within 30 seconds.[1][2][3] As a player tilts their frame, the Koopa Shell slides around, revealing more of a graphic of a Coin in Mario Party; a head of a Toad surrounded by a ribbon in Mario Party 2; or either a Super Star, a Super Mushroom, or a Fire Flower in Mario Party Superstars.[4] If the player gets hit by a Koopa Shell, they cannot move temporarily. The player that uncovers their photograph first wins.

The minigame can be bought at the Mini-Game House in Mario Party for 350 coins or from Woody in Mario Party 2 for 50 coins.

Its name may be a pun on the phrase "topsy-turvy."
