'''Catch You Letter''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.


The minigame has no differences when played at night in ''Mario Party 6'', except the streetlights are turned on to light up the area where the players compete.
==Overview==
[[File:Catch You Letter - Mario Party Superstars.png|thumb|left|Gameplay screenshot from ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
The minigame opens with a [[Shy Guy]] in uniform anxiously escaping from his mail-filled post office. The roof of the building then opens before several letters begin to fly out into the field.


==Introduction==
Every player must try to get the most [[point]]s by picking up letters that drop on the ground and returning them to Shy Guy. Players do not have to press a button to pick up letters or when returning them to Shy Guy. Most of the letters are white and worth one point. Only two pink love letters ever drop, each worth three points, and have two distinct sound effects: one from falling into the area and another from being given to Shy Guy. Any player with the most points wins, even if players are tied.

A [[Shy Guy]] bursts out of the post office, which is filled to the roof with mail, as the roof bursts off the top of the structure and letters fly everywhere.


==Gameplay==
''Mario Party 6'' has a page of the [[Miracle Book]] titled "Special Delivery" that is based on the minigame. It first shows [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Yoshi]] competing, even though it is not a Duel minigame. If the player activates the page, a different scene is shown of [[Shy Guy]] and Yoshi tripping, Peach getting buried in the letters, and a few more letters launching from the post office.
Players must earn [[point]]s by picking up the scattered mail and giving it back to the Shy Guy. Players automatically grab letters and hand them to the Shy Guy on contact. Regular white letters are worth one point, while pink love letters are worth three points. Any player with the most points by the end wins.

==Ending==
''Mario Party 6'' also has a nighttime variation, where there are no gameplay differences, though the area is lit up by streetlights.
In ''Mario Party 6'' and ''Superstars'', the losers line up in the center of the area, with the winner(s) standing in front of them as the camera angle switches to a frontal view. The Shy Guy then cheers from behind as the players perform their victory and losing animations. It is possible for there not to be a loser.

Gameplay screenshot from Mario Party Superstars

The minigame opens with a Shy Guy in uniform anxiously escaping from his mail-filled post office. The roof of the building then opens before several letters begin to fly out into the field.

Every player must try to get the most points by picking up letters that drop on the ground and returning them to Shy Guy. Players do not have to press a button to pick up letters or when returning them to Shy Guy. Most of the letters are white and worth one point. Only two pink love letters ever drop, each worth three points, and have two distinct sound effects: one from falling into the area and another from being given to Shy Guy. Any player with the most points wins, even if players are tied.

Mario Party 6 has a page of the Miracle Book titled "Special Delivery" that is based on the minigame. It first shows Peach and Yoshi competing, even though it is not a Duel minigame. If the player activates the page, a different scene is shown of Shy Guy and Yoshi tripping, Peach getting buried in the letters, and a few more letters launching from the post office.

Mario Party 6 also has a nighttime variation, where there are no gameplay differences, though the area is lit up by streetlights.
