Booksquirm is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.
Overview[edit]
Players try to stand under holes in the pages of a giant book they fall, one after the other. The pages move faster as gameplay continues, with fewer pages to stand under, a process that continues until only one player remains. If all players are flattened, it is a draw, though this occurs in the Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars versions only if all four players are flattened at once.
There is an unlockable version titled Challenge Booksquirm in Mario Party 4, unlocked for the Extra Room after playing the original Booksquirm, and the goal is for the player to pass through as many pages as possible, up to 99.[1] If the player manages to surpass 15 pages, a Goomba plate is placed in the minigame Present Room. The variation was later redone as the "Endless" mode in Mario Party Superstars, following the rules of Challenge Booksquirm but ending after 999 pages.[2]
