==Introduction==
==Overview==
The players fall from above onto a stage, followed by the blocks. The minigame then starts.
The minigame opens with the players falling into scene, then the blocks descending and hovering above their heads.


==Gameplay==
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. 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.
Players have to hit the spinning blocks and get a [[Toad]] face each time. Each time a player gets a Toad face, the spinning block gets a little faster. The floor below them also rises one level. If one of the players hits the spinning block and gets something other than a Toad face, the player gets stunned for a moment: Getting a [[Piranha Plant]] figure causes it to bash the player once, getting a [[Chain Chomp]] figure causes it to bash the player twice, and getting a [[Bowser]] figure causes [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] to come down and smash the player. The first player who gets five Toad faces wins. If nobody does so within a certain time limit, the minigame ends in a draw.

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.
