- —Play Nintendo[1]
Face-Lift is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party and Mario Party: The Top 100, as well as a Battle minigame in Mario Party 2 and a Bowser minigame in Mario Party Superstars. Prior to Superstars, its name was formatted as Face Lift. In the Play Nintendo video "Mario Party Superstars Laugh Till You Pop,"[2], its name is formatted as Face-lift.
Overview[edit]

The minigame is named after "facelift", and is based specifically on the title screen of Super Mario 64. Furthermore, in the Mario Party version only, the background texture parodies the Super Mario 64 title screen and reads Super Bowser 64. In Mario Party, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars, each player tries to distort Bowser's facial features in split-screen gameplay. In Mario Party 2, the face can be either that of Mario or of any of the other five player characters, being Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, or Donkey Kong, and their facial features change after a star flies above them. On Mini-Game Island in Mario Party, the minigame requires at least 90 points to clear.
Mario Party features a variety from landing on a Bowser Space, where players who do not score 90 points or more lose coins, though if everyone does, only the player who landed on the Bowser Space loses Coins.
In Mario Party Superstars, Face-Lift appears only as a Bowser minigame, and the minimum requirement is lowered to 80 points; no one loses coins if everyone meets the criteria. However, in Free Play, it can be played as a standard 4-player minigame.
In all versions except Mario Party Superstars,[3] if a player does not perform any action, they earn a score of zero. The minigame ends in a draw if everyone scores zero.
In Mario Party, if multiple players win or, in the case of the Bowser variant, score more than 90, the Bowser faces associated with any losers shrink away as "LOSE" displays on their side. If every player scores either zero or fewer than 90 in the Bowser variant, every player loses. In Mario Party 2, a rainbow-colored star moves around the face on any winning player's side. In the Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars versions, the Bowser face linked to any winning player sparkles.
Face-Lift can be bought from the Mini-Game House in Mario Party for 400 coins or from Woody in Mario Party 2 for 900 coins.
