Glacial Meltdown is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 8.

Overview

In the introduction, the four characters are shown on a floating patch of ice as a Lakitu appears and drops a Buzzy Beetle, surprising them. One of the characters knocks the Buzzy Beetle back into the ocean as the minigame starts.

The objective for each player is to knock all the others off the floating patch of ice. The Lakitu floating above drops Buzzy Beetles onto the ice; bumping into them knocks players back, and their shells can also be kicked at other players to try to knock them off. The players can also jump on, punch, and kick their opponents to stun them temporarily. If a player falls off the ice, they are eliminated and swim to another floating patch of ice. The last player remaining wins. If all four players fall off the ice, the last player to fall off wins the minigame. If five minutes pass before three players fall off, the remaining players win and split a majority of the coins in the pot.

In the ending, the last player standing celebrates in front of three penguins on the patch of ice while the other three players do their losing animations on another patch of ice farther away. If the last player standing falls into the water, they celebrate on the farther patch of ice, next to the other three players that lost; the winner's voice is harder to hear at that distance. If five minutes pass without three players falling off, the remaining players celebrate.
