Template:Minigame-infobox Photo Finish is a four-player minigame from Mario Party 4. Its name is a reference to photo finishes, which happen when two or more racers cross the finish line at almost the same time, and a photo needs to be consulted to determine the winner.
Introduction
The picture is shown on the screen, then it splits into four sections, one for each player. As the screens zoom out to reveal the players watching the picture, the picture suddenly breaks and the pieces fly out, surprising the players. The screens zoom back in as the cursor holding the first piece appears. The game begins.
Gameplay
Players must piece the puzzle together, one piece at a time. If the player has the correct orientation and location of the piece, it will fall into place and the next piece will appear. The first player to piece together their puzzle is the winner. There are three puzzles: Toad's birthday party, Penguin's ice rink and Shy Guy's car. If no one finishes their puzzle in the time limit, the game ends in a draw.
Ending
The screen zooms to the winning player, and they jump into the picture and celebrate. Depending on the scene, the celebration is different:
- Toad's birthday party: The player will do a winning pose while two Toads raise champagne between him/her.
- Penguin's ice rink: The player will skate in circles.
- Shy Guy's car: The player will ride in the car and wave.
If the timer runs out, nothing will happen on the screen besides the announcer saying "Draw!", though the Draw music will play.
