==Introduction==
In the infobox for this minigame, [[Bowser]] says the phrase ''"Ahh... I can see your future... and THIS is what I see,"'' just before a giant [[Bowser Statue]] falls on [[Luigi]]. Bowser never says this phrase during the minigame itself, instead saying the phrase ''"Ahhh... I can see your pathetic future! It's all coming into focus..."''
[[Bowser]] welcomes the player into his chamber, and states that he can predict their future. The camera zooms out to show most of the room, and, as the announcer says, "Go!", four ropes fall from above.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Bowser instructs the player to select one of the four ropes and pull on it, so that he can predict their future. They have ten seconds to do so. A random event then occurs, most often being something that harms the player.
