Template:Minigame-infobox Booksquirm is a four-player minigame in Mario Party 4. It is also included in the minigame compilation title, Mario Party: The Top 100.
Introduction
A book is shown opening, then the four players jump onto the page. The words in the book are arranged in incomprehensible structures, comparable to lorem ipsum text.
Gameplay
Pages of the book will begin to turn (fall), so the players must find holes in the pages to avoid being flattened. Players can share a hole. As time goes on, the pages will turn much faster, and the number of holes in each page will decrease. This process continues until one character is left standing. In Mario Party 4, if the last players remaining get flattened at the same time, the game is a draw; this is only the case in The Top 100 if all four players are flattened simultaneously.
In Mario Party 4, there is also an unlockable version of Booksquirm, called Challenge Booksquirm, which can be earned by playing the original Booksquirm in a party, and can then be selected in the Extra Room. It challenges players to see how many pages they can last until their character is squashed. If the player manages to surpass 15 pages, a Goomba Plate is placed in the Minigame Room.
The player can also win at Challenge Booksquirm by managing to pass through 99 pages.[1]
