Players have to hit the spinning blocks by getting a [[Toad]] face each time. Each time the players gets a Toad face; the spinning block gets a little faster. The floor below them also rises one level. If one of the players hit the spinning block and get something other than a Toad face, the player gets stunned for a moment. The first player who gets five Toad faces wins.

The minigame opens with the players falling into scene, then the blocks descending and hovering above their heads.


The blocks also show figures of a Piranha Plant (bashes the player once), a Chomp (bashes the player twice) and Bowser ([[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] comes down and smashes the player).
During gameplay, players compete to get a [[Toad]] symbol on a spinning block. Each time a player achieves this, the platform beneath them grows taller, and the block spins faster. Rolling a non-Toad symbol slows the player down. Rolling a [[Piranha Plant]] has the block hit the character once, wasting about one second. Rolling a [[Chain Chomp]] has the block hit the character twice, wasting about two seconds. Rolling a [[Bowser]] symbol has [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] come out of the block and squash the character flat, wasting about three seconds.

Toad in the Box (stylized as TOAD in the Box) is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 2.

Overview[edit]

The minigame opens with the players falling into scene, then the blocks descending and hovering above their heads.

During gameplay, players compete to get a Toad symbol on a spinning block. Each time a player achieves this, the platform beneath them grows taller, and the block spins faster. Rolling a non-Toad symbol slows the player down. Rolling a Piranha Plant has the block hit the character once, wasting about one second. Rolling a Chain Chomp has the block hit the character twice, wasting about two seconds. Rolling a Bowser symbol has Baby Bowser come out of the block and squash the character flat, wasting about three seconds. The first player to roll a Toad symbol five times is the winner. If nobody does so after five minutes, the game ends in a draw.

The minigame title is a play on jack-in-the-box.

It costs 150 Coins to buy the minigame from Woody.
