Type	1-vs.-3 Mic mini-game
Time limit	30 seconds

Word Herd is a 1-vs.-3 Mic minigame in Mario Party 6.

Gameplay

The player with the Mic has to guide a herd of Goombas away from the three other players, who try to punch them out of the corral. The solo player can say "Up," "Down," "Left," and "Right" to guide the herd away from the other players; the solo player can also say "Scramble" to disperse the herd. If there is no Mic, the commands are selected from a blue box. If at least one Goomba is left after 30 seconds, the solo player will win. However, if all the Goombas are gone, the three other players will win.

Controls

• "Up" – Move the Goomba herd upward.
