Hot Rope Jump

Template:Minigame-infobox Hot Rope Jump is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party Superstars.

Introduction

In Mario Party, Lava Bubbles start to appear one by one until the two large ones appear at the sides, causing all the smaller Lava Bubbles to jump into their rope formation.

In Mario Party 2 and Superstars, the small Lava Bubbles circle around another small one until the two larger ones appear, to which the smaller Lava Bubbles jump into their rope formation. In these games, the Lava Bubbles start off blue before turning orange after the first before turning orange after five jumps.

Gameplay

Characters jump over a jump rope made of flaming hot Lava Bubbles. The height of the jump depends on how long the player holds down . The Lava Bubbles move faster and faster as the minigame goes by. In Mario Party, the game will end in a "Miss!" if at least one player touches the Lava Bubble rope, which makes them lose coins in Party Mode. However, if the four players reach 20 jumps, they all win the game. In Mario Party 2 and Superstars, the last player standing wins.

In the Mini-Game Island mode in Mario Party, the player must jump over the rope 40 times to clear the game, a rule that is not normally implemented in other modes. Similarly, in Mario Party 2, while playing the Mini-Game Coaster game mode, the player has to jump a total of 50 times to pass the minigame.

In Mario Party Superstars, an "Endless" mode is available in Free Play; as the name implies, it continues until everyone is burned, and it saves records.

Ending

It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include what happens if there are multiple losers in MP1

In Mario Party, if all the players successfully jump 20 times (40 in Mini-Game Island) before being burned, the small Lava Bubbles disappear, and all the players do a winning pose. However, if one player touches the flame, the small Lava Bubbles disappear, and the other players slump in disappointment while the one player already burned says their losing quote.

In Mario Party 2 and Superstars, if one player successfully jumps the rope while the other players are burned, that player does a winning pose. If all the players are burned, the game ends in a draw.

Trivia

• In Mario Party, because the "Full of Danger" music is used in the Mini-Game Island version of this minigame instead of the usual "Let's Limbo," this is one of only two minigames in the Mario Party franchise to have a version that has a different music track in the same game, the other one being What Goes Up... in Mario Party 6, where the music track depends on the time of day.
