Paddle Battle is a 1-vs-3 Coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party.

Overview

The four players all ride an inflatable boat down a river. The solo player as well as the team players competitively direct the boat to their opponent's shore to obtain their Coins. The obstacles include Spear Guys and rocks along the river. The side with the most Coins by the end wins. If neither side receives any Coins, the victory theme plays while they do their losing poses.

It costs 50 Coins to buy Paddle Battle from the Mini-Game House once it becomes available.

Controls

  • Control Stick – Rotate to paddle
