'''Shell Stack''' is a single-player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''.


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
All the player has to do is to jump on the stack of shells as moving [[pipe]]s shoot more on top. As the player jumps on more shells consecutively, they fly across the screen quicker. The color of the pipe and shell determines the shell's speed. [[Green Shell|Green shell]]s are the slowest, followed by [[Yellow Shell|yellow]], orange, with [[Red Shell|red]] being the fastest. If the player misses or gets hit by a shell, the game ends.
The player [[jump]]s on an increasing tower of [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s as they are out from [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s. [[Green Shell]]s move the slowest, [[Yellow Shell|yellow]] are average speed, and orange pipes launch [[Red Shell|red type]], which moves the fastest. The minigame ends if either the player fails to land on a shell or misses one, though in [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] and Mini-Game Attack (featuring a time limit of jumping on ten shells within 60 and 30 seconds, respectively), either action only stuns the player character for three seconds.
 
In [[Shroom City]], the player must stack ten shells in sixty seconds to win. In this version, being hit by a shell only temporarily stuns the player.
